After five weeks of "box office downturn", the North American film market finally ushered in the "Jedi Counterattack" last weekend! "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4" is simply a "box office savior", with a global box office of $129 million in the first weekend, and the total box office is expected to soar to $450 million.
Since the classic "Planet of the Apes" in 1968 started this epic series, now after 56 years of legend, the Planet of the Apes is not extinguished, and the tenth work is still hot, it is simply a "legend in film history"!
On May 17th, the movie channel invites you to jointly open "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Battle of the Dawn" and witness this "Battle of the Ape Heart".
In the movie, the orangutans are called the best "mirror selves" of humans. Humans used orangutans as experimental subjects for in-depth research, but in the end, they suffered devastating disasters. At the same time, the orangutan's intelligence has developed by leaps and bounds, and it has gradually ascended to the throne of the planet's ruler. This allegorical plot, although it sounds absurd and bizarre, truly reflects the deep anxiety of human beings about their future fate.
Every time we look at a close-up of Caesar at the beginning of the film, and then focus on his eyes again at the end of the film, we are actually looking at ourselves in the mirror. These orangutans are not only a symbol of the future that humanity may face, but also a profound reflection on our own actions and choices.
This film is not a simple science fiction film, it is a work that carries rich thinking and expands various genre elements. It is not only about the counterattack of apes, but also about survival and coexistence, racial contradictions, social systems, and human destiny.
How can different races, cultures, and beliefs coexist peacefully and avoid conflict and war? The film gives us a good perspective to reflect on our own actions. So the film doesn't give us the answer, it just makes us think: maybe we need to respect and understand each other's differences more, and seek common ground and the intersection of interests; Perhaps, we need to re-examine our beliefs and values and find a more inclusive and open mind.
Director Matt Reeves said: "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 1 uses a lot of motion capture technology, most of which is confined to the set. So in order to pursue realism, the production team designed more than 85% of the shots in the film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: Dawn of War" for native 3D shooting in outdoor scenes, which is really hardcore! This was a feat at the time, after all, no one had ever played it that way.
The most amazing thing is that the huge orangutan civilization in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2: Dawn of War" can present the effect of thousands of troops with only six to eight action actors, which is an incredible thing.
Released on May 10, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4: New World" is the latest sequel to the series, director Wes Ball carefully constructed a new setting for a new civilization on Earth, especially the phased development of ape civilization, which not only draws on parts of human history, but also is full of original ideas from the film, bringing unprecedented visual and spiritual shock to the audience. In the social structure and cultural system of ape civilization, apes are no longer just imitators of humans, but independent races with their own unique ways of thinking and values. They have established their own political, economic, and cultural systems, and even their own religious beliefs and morals.
What kind of visual and spiritual shock will this colorful social picture bring to the audience? You can go to the cinema to find your own answers.
