Review on Rise of the Planet of the Apes Will, a young genetic engineer working for a San Francisco biotech company, creates a serum that reverses brain damage. He wants to treat his father, Charles who has Alzheimer’s. The company tests the serum on apes, one of which goes mad and has to be destroyed. But Will takes home the ape’s baby, Caesar, who has inherited his mom’s supercharged gray matter, and he and Charles raise him as a pet. Caesar swings through the house, leaping up and down stairs and throwing himself in and out of the attic, but he sits quietly at the dinner table, too. He listens, he grunts, he eats, he makes signs. He’s a darling little ape. He plays and chatters like a chimp, but, like a child, he needs protection and reassurance, and then—a fellow-primate to the rescue—he rushes to the defense of Charles, his ailing “grandfather,” when he’s attacked by a neighbor. An empathic ape! At one point, Charles, confused, holds a fork by the wrong end, and Caesar slowly, gently takes it out of his hand and turns it around. The scene is ineffably, absurdly touching, the sweetest expression of family love seen in recent films. “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” discovers a new emotion: what you’d have to call interspecies pathos. When I saw the film, firstly I really marveled at Caesar’s intelligence. He is so smart that he can be as smart as human. In this film, Will represents the kind side of human. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody and his aim is just to save his father. His concern to Caesar is really from his heart. Caesar, a very smart ape, is destined to be a great leader and you can find it just from his name. When he is young, he treats Will and his father as his family members. But when he toughs more apes, he finds they are the same race and he should make his race become strong enough to get out of control of human. He launched a revolution against human. He is very kind form start to the end and he doesn’t like to hurt any one even someone who has beat his or used his race as experimental material. But of course, human disagree with that other species. dare to be against human. So a war happens. In the war, apes are the justice side who just want to get freedom. Freedom is a word that our human has chased from several thousand years until today most people get it. But our forget that it’s not only us that need the freedom and animals also need it. Finally Will suggest that Caesar go home and he can protect him. But Caesar says “Caesar’s home”. It shows that however well we treat animals, we can’t give them the thing that they need most and it’s just freedom. They need their species members and they want to come back to nature. Because it’s just their nature. I think human can coexist with other species. But we can obey the only rule that is respect. Respect means equality instead of control. We can help each other and communicate with each other. There is no occupation, no invasion, no shambles, no battering and nothing left except respect and love. Only in this situation can human and animals achieve real coexistence. Forgiveness is also an important thing we can learn form this film. Though Caesar is bullied by human, he doesn’t want to harm humans and request other apes don’t do that, either. But forgiveness is limited. When he sees his friend is killed by human because of saving him. He becomes angry and allows another to punish that person. Conscience is a good thing but we can’t use it on the evildoers because the mercy of the bad guys is the cruelty to good people. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/7d261bf8f705cc17552709fb.html
