"Human beings are constantly fighting their inner demons."
The "Rise of the Apes" series is a special existence in science fiction movies, it does not win with dazzling visual spectacles and imaginative brain holes, but with the exploration of complex human nature, people unconsciously immersed in it, in deep thinking. As a war movie, the ape duel that fans are most concerned about, although it is still filled with smoke in front of the battle robe of "two armies against each other, you die and I die", the core is no longer just a war between two species, but a battle of hearts between characters.
A good war movie is not only about action and big scenes, but about highlighting the characteristics of the characters, the contradictions between people and the contradictions between people.

But even if apes could talk, ride horses, and even think, they didn't seem to be able to equate them with humans. So what defines us as human beings? What is a sign that a species can sit on an equal footing with humans?
The biggest change in the Rise of the Apes series from the Planet of the Apes five-part series that began in 1968 was the birth of Caesar. Based on this, the old version of the time closed loop brought about by the crossing produces a strong sense of fatalism, and the new version of the scientific and technological fear caused by drug experiments is more in line with today's aesthetic. So does human beings' attachment to scientific and technological progress inevitably lead to bad consequences?
In the process of Caesar's transformation, the film has always paid great attention to the rendering of emotions, allowing us to witness an epic hero who grows up painfully in contradictions and struggles, so what changes have happened to Caesar in "Rise of the Apes 3: The Final Battle"?

Turns out you're such a cute and cute Andy Serkis

Another new character with a shape similar to "Song Xiaobao", "Bad Ape", is almost the only laughing point in the whole film. Wearing a down vest with its mouth open and blinking its eyes, what kind of "human" laughter will it create?
