      There's a little mistake in the video. You say the government supported violence against african americans, but it was the regional governments who did that. The federal government was actually pro civil rights, specially Johnson and Nixon. This wasn't out of the kindness lf their hearts however, they did it because they thought civil rights would help them win more support from the younger generations.

      I saw these films when I was a bit younger than that (7 or 8 maybe) But they weren't classic then. By that I mean that they weren't brand new, but it was in the early 80s, so they weren't vintage films like they are today

    I only recently watched the Caesar trilogy for the first time in preparation for Kingdom, but I was blown away by its quality. I’m a huge fan of the original film from 1968, and I loved how the Caesar trilogy showed the gradual decline of human society and the rise of the ape empire. Not to mention Caesar, portrayed by the immaculate Andy Serkis, has cemented himself as one of the best protagonists in science fiction. Very excited to see where things will go next following the release of Kingdom.

    What I really loved about the Caesar trilogy and even in Kingdom is seeing how the apes evolve as time moves on. It went from Caesar speaking only a few words in Rise to apes having full on spoken conversations by the time Kingdom rolls around.

      Its because the director of Kingdom wants to connect to the original Planet of the Apes. He has said in interviews that there is no reason to "reboot" the series, they could simply make the films in a way that they will eventually connect to the originals because he loves the originals so much

    • @efxnews4776

      But they did reboot the movies.
      They are essentially bridging the gap at this point,
      All this movies mirror the og movies, Rise mix both Escape and Conquest in some way.
      Confront bridge the narrative of Conquest to Battle wich mirrors war.
      Kingdom is essentially a prequel to the first 2 movies of PotA franchise with Charlton Heston.

    I remember just being enamored by the visuals and effects of 2001. And I still am. The incredible make-up, the unique aesthetic and form language, the posture and physical performance of the ape actors, it really felt like a last hurrah for that type of practical prosthetic for a while. It's a real shame the random ending and everything else didn't work. I would adore to see another film with that visual production but I think we're firmly in the photo realistic ape cgi as being the inseparable identity for apes going forward and not a hybrid middle ground of human-ape physicality.

    I rather liked Kingdom too. It didn’t have near the emotional resonance of the trilogy, but I didn’t really expect it to. My favorite thing was how they didn’t soften Freda Allen’s character. Most movies would have had her fully befriend and join the apes at the end, but she stuck to her own agenda even if it meant destroying her friend-ish relationship with Noah.
    I think you’re spot on about the original sequels. Each one had something interesting to say, and how often do we get that from major franchise sequels!

    Oh look... a retrospective on Planet of the Apes... haven't seen any of those lately! Only joking, it's great to see how different creators present these movies. I've seen all the movies relatively recently apart from the original sequels. Retrospectives like these are great way to restructure what I can remember about those movies. Listened to the audiobook version a little over a year ago, different characters to the movie and some major differences, yet parallels all the way through. What I have least exposure to was TV series. I was midway through typing 'I was too young to see it the first time around' but when I thought about it I wasn't even born. I was never aware of repeats when I was younger. Great presentation with your typically warm and friendly style.

    The way riots are portrayed in conquest is interesting, as it matches the pov of many civil rights leaders and public figures at the time. Riots were seen as evil but a byproduct of unfair and repressive policies. Rioting was also seen as an evil by many civil rights leaders like Bayard Rustin because they helped fueling anti civil rights arguments. Comic book writer Stan Lee, who was known for his pro civil rights attitude, made the same argument as Rustin in a Captain America story called "Crack-Up on Campus!", in which Captain America gives a speech in support of civil rights and protesting, but makes clear that rioting will only help the enemies of civil rights.

    Watching this video has made me realize I need to rewatch these movies! I saw all the movies years ago but I can barely remember the finer details about them, and I remember really not liking Escape. Curious to see what I might appreciate about it more now that I’ve grown up a bit

    another well done review on a film series. i have seen all of the recent planet of the apes, including kingdom and i can agree these movies are some the best in terms of sci-fi storytelling. i haven't seen the original film series yet aside from the first movie, but seeing your review wants me to check them out.

    The remake really wasnt that bad! The new twist was just as good and impactful! Rise for me is one of the best alongside Dawn.

    Do you ever deal with the other media associated with the franchises? There was a series of comics from Marvel after the first apes movies, and a magazine format from Marvel/Curtis Magazines. It would be interesting to see those discussed as well.

    Have you read any of Jack Kirby’s Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth comics? DC lost the license to Marvel so Kirby was instructed to make his own knock off without having seen the movie. It’s a really fun post apocalyptic adventure with intelligent apes, dogs, rats, tigers and more.

    Original Series: "Long, complex analysis, explaining the good, the bad, and the follow up"
    Current Series: "Long, complex analysis, explaining the good, the bad, the possible future"
    Burton Movie: "Let's explain this quick and get out of here"
    Love it haha

      The Tim Burton movie is far from anything resembling terrible. Its not perfect, but its not in any universe awful. They also wanted to make the original movie a futuristic type city with the same types of things as the Burton movie but didn't have the budget and it was cheaper to make it more primitive.

    This is an unkillable franchise. The first movie marathon I ever saw was the re-release of the first 3 films. I caught the original as a child at the drive-in when it came out. Pierre's original concept is brilliant. I read the book after seeing "Bridge on the River Kwai" realizing what a departure it was from that triumph. Even Tim Burton's reboot tried a variation of the novel's original ending. Great consolidation and I look forward to future developments.

  • @offtheshelfET
    @offtheshelfET 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What I love about Rise is how they cleverly reused aspects of Escape and Conquest; taking the complicated time travel plot and making it feel more grounded as a Frankenstein-like tale of man playing God. Ultimately writing a plot that, while outlandish, feels like a strangely prescient warning of man's demise. They still mostly keep Caesar's origin story. Both versions of the character are the son of an intelligent ape who was mercilessly gunned down by humans, and both are secretly raised by a kind scientist at birth. But while they keep the basic outline, they took away the time travel element. Instead of Caesar's mother being an ape from the future, she is the first ape to be tested using an experimental drug that heightens cognitive functions. Instead of Caesar forming full sentences, the evolution of the ape's speech feels more real and terrifying, beginning only with primal grunts and words like "no." They seem like small changes but they help create an illusion that this frightening future could actually happen, that apes could eventually and gradually evolve like humans once did many years ago.

    Another aspect that isn't talked about with the reboot trilogy is it's music, all three scores are underrated. I wish some of Patrick Doyles work made into the other films. That being said Michael Giacchino's score, especially for War is some of the most moving music of recent times. My favorite piece of his might be Apes Together Strong when Nova restores Caesars broken spirit and his tribe reassuring him that they'll get through this dark time together. It's one of the few times I almost choked up in a theater.

    I actually just saw the most recent film two days ago (At the time I'm writing this of course) and I have to ask... How can a franchise be so consistent in its quality and its identity even after almost 50 years?
    In short, The Planet of the Apes films are actually my favorite Sci-Fi film franchise.
