The film was nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 84th Academy Awards and Best Sci-Fi Film at the 38th Saturn Awards. Exploring the conflict between human civilization and technological evolution in an in-depth and simple story, I think everyone has already guessed that this movie is "Rise of the Apes Ball".
Genetic scientist Will Rodman
So let's talk about this movie, which is about genetic scientist Will Rodman in order to treat human neurological atrophy diseases, and the newly developed vaccine, this vaccine can treat alzheimer's disease and other mental diseases. The vaccine was used by scientists to experiment with chimpanzees, but it was found that gorillas who were vaccinated could improve their intelligence. Some orangutans can even reach the human level of intelligence. After a successful chimpanzee gave birth to a chimpanzee, he attacked the laboratory staff and was shot in order to protect the motherhood of the chimpanzee. After this incident, the laboratory was forced to treat all the remaining chimpanzees to death, and Will's research project was stopped. But the newborn orangutan was left behind by the staff, and Will adopted it and gave it a nice name - Caesar. Caesar is accidentally injured during the adoption, and on the way to heal Caesar, Will meets zoologist Caroline and falls in love.
Because Caesar's mother had been vaccinated during her lifetime, she had a high IQ when she was young. Will saw Caesar's change and injected the same medicine into his father, who had Alzheimer's disease. His father miraculously played the piano, and Will later discovered that the vaccine produced new antibodies to the human body, and his father's condition worsened, and he eventually died. After injuring a neighbor once, Caesar is forcibly taken to an orangutan shelter by the police and separated from Will. In the adoption camp, Caesar was treated ruthlessly by the administrators, and gradually had the idea of revenge against human beings. Caesar then flees the shelter and returns to Will's house to steal the vaccine, which he also uses with his companions, and leads all the orangutans in the shelter to escape. A battle between humans and orangutans is about to begin, and interested friends can go check out the movie.
Caesar and Will
The film tells the story of human beings invading nature for their own selfish desires, using life as experimental instruments at will, and finally causing animals to fight back. We are called upon to care for the dignity of every life on earth as we love our fellow human beings.
