Planet of the Apes

02:01:00

We have this inherent human quality of feeling better than the animal kind. We surrounded ourselves by technology, stuck our heads in our computers and applications, deprived ourselves of the strength of our muscles by making use of cars, trains, and planes. We conquered the world. But, as history proved us wrong, showing that who was once the master can very soon be a servant, the order of things might be reversed. There are places where we are the inferior and the animals are the superior. There are lands where mistreatment and slavery involve the white man. There are planets which suffered the reverse of roles and you have to deal with it. From the 1963 science fiction novel to 1968, 2001 and 2014 subsequent films, the concept seems still very much alive. Can you be a human treated worse than an animal? Can you accept the loss of your dominance? Can you feel secure in Planet of the Apes?

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
