I just watched the most recent Planet of the Apes movie. There was one scene where all of the benevolent Apes or captured in locked into cages by an evil white man in the military. The members of this evil non-diverse Army stood and faced the American flag as the Star Spangled Banner played. Shortly after the American national anthem was played, soldiers began to brutally whip the backs of the Apes forcing them to build a large wall. I was wondering if there was some symbolism or messaging in that entire scene.
Years ago I worked at a residential real estate brokerage in an upscale neighborhood in north Baltimore. One of my colleagues specialized in brokering apartment buildings and rehabs in the inner city. He was the first person I heard to refer to Baltimore City as the “Planet of the Apes”. And leaving the city to go to the suburbs was “Escape from the Planet of the Apes”.
Don’t watch the most recent Planet of the Apes movie.
Stick with the Charlton Heston original. It is far superior.
For sure a slam against evil White men - the national Anthem part just turned out to be a lagniappe for the Hollywood scum.
Damn...
Give it a year or two, and Hollywood as we know it is ...toast. Death of the industry.
Next up is going to be small budget, high quality films from indy producers. Many of which will reflect real America, and real values.
Until then, I’m out and spend zero hours and minutes;
TV
Movies
Sports
If you’re not already doing it, it’s time to boycott all the anti-American perverts of Hollywood....
In the Charlton Heston version, the apes were the bad guys. They were the machine-gun toting, irrational, bigoted bullies. Modern Hollywood has made them the oppressed victims instead, justified in returning the fight to their oppressors. It fits the modern liberal agenda.
Last time I was in a theater was when “Ironman” first came showed...
The sloth DMV "worker" was the one and only highlight of that wretched flick.
“first showed”
And the most accurate!.....................
Have they done the nuclear holocaust in planet of the apes yet? Say what onean about the old ones, they were still not that bad.
Plan 9 From Outer Space was trying to make a point.
These set of apes movies are a prequel to Heston’s movie. So now these good apes and become those bad apes over hundreds of years. Aside from the much better effects, the story line of all the prequels all suck.
When does one think that offending so much of the movie going audience with making them evil or just plain inferior remakes is going to make money? If you offend as much as 10 percent of the audience, that is a measurable loss. The other problem is probably also technology. Marvel puts their movies online via Netflix one year after theaters, so you can just wait and watch the Marvel movie on your 27 inch tv if you wish via Apple TV,Roku, etc.
The theme is that Whites are evil and deserve a violent comeuppance from allegedly oppressed groups.
Check out Mainstay Productions.
Definitely one of the best parts.
The movie was so so.
I liked Lego Batman.
The next sequel will be set 20 years later and called
Nova Reconquers The World For Human Beings
