Hey everyone who's discovering this video recently! I made this close to 2 years ago, but I'm so glad people are enjoying it. If you'd like to give me feedback or let me know if you'd like me to talk about Apes more, I'd appreciate it.
There was a reason why though in this particular case which is different . It was humans that caused the destruction of much of the world with Nuclear weapons. So the Apes had cut a piece of human brain to cut off their intelligence and dumb them preventing human development The Apes didn't have our issues like race
@@Gaiainfinite369 Completely accurate. A good drey animal, used for pulling plows and carts, and dairy and egg producing animals, are treated better than humans in bondage. It is horrible, but true.
I always wondered why the 2001 remake ended as it did. Now, I know. Also, there was never any doubt, at least in _my_ mind, who Taylor was cursing in that last scene and it wasn't the apes.
@Metal Jack Ironic that in the next movie that he would nuke the world and kill everything but the three apes who made their way into orbit on his spacecraft..
Not an actual quote from any of the films.. This comment seems to be a false fusion of two of Dr. Zaius' lines. ("Don't look for it, Taylor! You may not like what you find." "While you go digging away for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation.")
Great video, Owen. I personally never saw the original Planet of the Apes (only the remakes after it) but by God, this was a thought provoking video! Your content is getting better and better, man!
Thank you Mahir, the original film is great, you should definitely check it out. It is a little cheesy (c'mon it was the 60s), but I think it still holds up fairly well. Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.
Your video just happened to be a random popup, I really enjoyed it!! I was just 6 years old when this movie came out, I saw it with my parents at the Drive-In Theater and it scared me, I loved sci-fi even back then with Lost In Space and Star Trek. Once again, great video and thank you for posting.
We can only wonder how it would have been if, Edward G Robinson had been in the movie. He did get to act with Charlton Hesston 5 years later in another iconic movie, Soylent Green. Also with a few great lines, especially, "Soylent Green is People".
They made a Parody of, "Dam You - Dam you all to Hell!" in the cartoon 'Madegascar'; when Alex the lion builds a statue of Liberty and it burns down and he screams, "Darn you - Darn you all to Heck!" 😅😅😅
Well it looked like earth, smelled like earth, and breathed like earth, apes ruled and spoke English.. I know it's just a movie, but if I was really there, I would have guessed earth...
Yoruba were there in the beginning and will remain there after everyone else is gone. It doesn't matter how you treat them love em or hate em they'll be there.... My Grandfather's words.
I just found you in my feed since I have been watching a lot of The Planet of the Apes (with the anticipation of the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes). Excellent commentary. I really enjoyed your video and will watch more.
I thoroughly enjoyed all the Planet of the Apes movies and even the TV show. That said, one highlight for me from both the first and second movies was the character of Nova. Man, that woman was fine looking. The first time I saw the movie, I felt bad for Taylor after seeing the Statue of Liberty and realizing he had been on a future Earth all along, but I figured that spending a lot of alone time with her afterwards would soooothe his pain away.
U have the clip of the twin towers. Wrong timing. The towers weren't made till 1971. Im the clip your talking about social times in the 60s. Needs to be fixed.
Also he could not figure out if Heston's character at the end was cursing Humans or Apes, when he clearly said 'you blew it all to hell' which is obviously directed at Human Beings.
Anyone who would correlate race with apes are slightly low in IQ and/or idiotic racists. Tbf,one may argue that there is a correlation between racism and low IQ however, that's an argument for another day. This movie is about looking at humanity , it's treatment of other living beings and how mankind would feel or fare if the shoe was on the other foot . Zoos, labs, just look at the way we treat animals. This is not about any ethnic race but about the human race.
Exactly why they used to show...and I used to watch this brilliant adaptation over and over again....as a child! ;) (Had a book on the making of this awesome film, way back when, too...)
Mad Magazine did good parodies of Planet of the Apes movies. "Are you putting in the code to launch the bomb?" "No, I'm calling my agent to get me out of these movies."
I am not seeing any "hidden meaning." It's pretty obvious. Also, it is obvious Taylor's condemnation at the end of the film is aimed at humans...at his own society. There's no question of this. No room for confusion.
I'll never forget the part where the Nuclear Missile Worshipers are chanting " I will Reveal Myself " and pulled off their " Human faces" to show Heavy Radiation Scars, and James Franciscus with Ms.Hunter riding the horse on the beach, and running into the Fallen Head of the Statue of Liberty. To me as a youngster at the time I thought it meant the World was over as we knew it.
The one thing I've never heard anyone explain, is WHY the astronauts landed on Earth. They were never supposed to return. They signed up for a one-way journey. Do you know the answer? Or were we just supposed to be so impressed by the twist ending that we forgot all about analyzing the situation further?
@@HapticBM I suppose they could've programmed the autopilot to turn the ship back to Earth in case of an emergency. But why would they do that if they had no intention of ever returning? And why would the autopilot make that decision if there was no emergency? One of the astronauts (a woman) is dead when they wake up. So perhaps the computer registered her missing vital signs as a warning and turned the ship around? I don't know.
Dr. Zaius as chief scientist _and_ defender of the faith. While faith and science are not mutually exclusive, people in 1968 certainly thought they were.
Yes, I don't know why this guy kept going on about race when the religion/evolution thing was so much more overt. I don't think he really knew what he was talking about, because most of what he said didn't gel with the movie.
You obviously were not alive 'way back' in 1968: Prayer in school was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1962 and that Scopes Trial was in 1920. This nation has been a pagan nation that worships science and technology (not to mention money) for the entire 20th and 21st Centuries.

@@michaelkaminski8339 "This nation has been a pagan nation that worships science and technology...(and) money..." Don't make me laugh! I look at the US from the outside, and it hardly seems to even be a secular nation! It was settled by groups of religious fanatics, there are huge mega churches with powerful government lobby groups, the media is choked with televangelists, an openly atheist president could never get elected, every speech ends with 'God bless America', a massive percentage of the population think that the universe was created 6000 years ago, there are a myriad of sects, denominations, apocalyptic cults, 'end times' survivalists, every Bible thumping crackpot you can think of, along with exotic strains like Mormonism or the Amish, all while Middle East politics is influenced by religiously motivated US support of Israel, there are constant pushes to get creationism into science classes, and even the currency has 'In God We Trust' written on it. So where's all the 'paganism' in that? The US continuing to decline in STEM fields hardly makes it seem like a nation that worships science and technology, although the bulging wallets of pastors and fundamentalist church leaders does indicate a strange interpretation of the 'eye of a needle' parable, so you may be right about the worship of money. But aside from that, the US is notorious amongst Western nations for it's hyperzealous Christian fanaticism and its low percentage of atheists and followers of Zeus or Odin.
You know, as much of a disappointment as Beneath the Planet of the Apes was, I always loved the lines by James Franciscus (Brent) upon seeing Ape City for the first time: "I, I gotta get outta here, yeah, I, I, I gotta get back up there! I don't know how or..what with, but...I'm not staying here!" LMFAO...
Really enjoyed 2:20, with ape smoking a butt. Roddy McDowell? I was a kid in the 70's, and these movies were popular. Had a board game where humans would get caught in a cardboard cage, chased around on the board by nasty ape cutout figures. Wish I still had it; might be worth some coin now, if I could find a motivated collector.
My take on Taylor is that he sees the flaws of humanity and was disgusted with mankind and left the earth for it (Something that I do feel the same about). but when he experienced the ape's actions as worse, he then sides with his own species, to knock down the ape's superior complex. then at the end of the movie when he saw that he was home all along, his original negative feelings for his kind were verified of the sighting of the statue of liberty. That's way he yelled out, for he should have known man would fail.
I thought you could have touched on all the follow-up movies, as the whole story is so circular. The first movie is just a small insight into the whole story.
I watched the whole thing and I'm awestruck that you didn't even mention what was made out to be the philosophical question of the film within itself. The apes who ran society found the human civilization ruins and found some of the technology that they had available, but also knew the fate of human civilization. The question that applies to all of humanity within the film and is far more important than certain societies tendencies to discriminate, etc. is: do we, as a species, allow ourselves to develop technologically to the point of finding something so advanced that it could destroy our species entirely if put into the wrong hands... or should we shun technology and stay in the dark to ensure the survival of ourselves and our posterity? Injustices within cultures usually play themselves out eventually, however long it may take. But once we can destroy ourselves, there's really no turning back without destroying the knowledge. I think that's a much more important discussion, what are the limits to our technological abilities? In a world where every nation needs to have the power to destroy every other nation to preserve itself.
Another element Rod Serling threw in was the concept of an advanced prehistoric civilization. In the film it was the human civilization that destroyed itself . Since the 19th century weird artifacts were being unearthed that didn't follow conventional views of history. And after WW2 and the dropping of the atom bombs the theory of an ancient advanced culture became more popular. Apes wasn't the first time he used that idea in a Rod Serling story. As time went on this idea died off and only Graham Hancock still talks about it.
It was by being inhumane by humans towards other humans that made the latter retaliate. After getting even with their oppressors, the one that had been oppressed became the oppressors. The writer wanted to give emphasis that the ending scene is in the future which means that the story was a subtle foretelling what might going to happen in the future. The great change in dominance. Statue of liberty represents the ruins of what once great development. Take a good look of Detroit now.
I'd definitely recommend watching the newer Apes films, and maybe something like 'Looper' if you're in the mood for sci-fi, that's one of my favourite films.
It was clear at the end that he was talking to the humans when he damned them all to hell lol. “We finally did it, You maniacs, you blew up”. “ God damn you, God damn you all to hell”. If one didn’t understand that clearly then idk.
Quick pro-tip to NASA: don't send a astronaut chief who's also misanthrope to a potential first-contact type of mission. That could hurt humans interest. Just sayin'.
The primitive setting and non reliance on sci-fi effects is why the 1968 film retains it's potency all these years later. A true masterpiece that uses allegory and satire to maximum effect.
Really GREAT video, you obviously put a lot of research and thought into it! Very impressive indeed and I'll definitely be checking out your other content. Just your pronunciation of "Singes"!!! 😧😣
Why is the book titled Monkey Planet since Monkey's are not Apes. It would be like a book called Llizard Planet that is about the Dinosaurs. Lizards are not Dinossaurs. The better name would be Ape Planet. That is what I would tell the author, and probably give a jab as his French mentality saying 'A Frenchman would be confused about that'. Hares are not Rabbits and Dolphins are not Porpoise, and Alligators are not Crocodiles. Similar but not the same, but then there is the differences between Lizards and Dinosaurs or Monkeys and Apes and it is even more clear they are not the interchangeable and the same. Besides all that, it is a good book, so smile and enjoy the praise of a great well done novel.
Don't enslave Hebrews in Egypt and there wont be a problem....uh oh...too late. Rothschild slave ships...east India company. Welcome to Jamaica mon! Now get to work! 😬🚬🚀
If we only could have gotten Edward G. Robinson's version of Dr. Zaius...This would be an even greater masterpiece although Maurice Evans did a phenomenal job of bringing the character to life.
Wakanda are cannanites that mixed with the fallin ones and gained knowledge they were sons of Ham so was Nimrod Dark skinned people ruled the world for thousands of years and ruled in a cruel way mostly through slavery, they are also called Moors and love to wear the fez they started America and ruled Spain for 800 years whites were their slaves which comes from the word Slavic, Moors were kick out Spain captained Columbus ships started the first plantations in America the first 8 presidents before Washington were Moors, they controlled slavery in Algiers Louisiana look it up on wiki across the river from New Orleans this was the slave holding pens, if you look on new Orleans cop cars you will see the cresent moon and star Islam, Algiers is a country in Africa why is it also in South Louisiana?This is hidden history 30 years of research the Moors had children with their white slaves just like in Spain in Louisiana these people are called Creoles they ruled the south till the civil war the capital of Louisiana was moved to baton rouge to take the political power from them thats what the war was about the powers that be did not want the Moors ruling the whole country like they had in Spain.
In this movie it was the humans who destroyed mankind and the Apes ruled over mankind for humans own destruction. That's why Taylor was very angry and piss off that it was man who destroyed himself? Humanity became not 2nd class citizens but treated like pets and slavery. Man almost became extinct, it's like man's last hope for survival. Roddy McDowell who played in the first few episodes of Planet of the Apes. Charlton Heston play in 2 episodes then he activate the nuclear doomsday machine in part two in Beneath the planet of the apes in 1971.
What???!!! You think those things were "hidden" in "Planet of the Apes?!" There was only 1 thing "hidden" in Planet of the apes movie, and that was the resolution to the conflict of the reveal at the end. None of the things you mentioned were "hidden" in Planet of the Apes... in fact, the whole movie smacks the viewer in the face, start to finish, with every overt message it relates... including the ending.
@@anderstopansson I gave no "hidden meaning, in fact, I was quite clear, but I will make a remedial version for you.I'm saying the claim of the video title is bogus. The videographer revealed no hidden meanings in Planet of the Apes. The title was a lie, just to incite clicks on his channel. So, good for OwenLikesComics in his 28k+ gullible subscribers, but I won't be gullible or one of them. If you wish to support Y/T channels who lie about their product, go ahead... I'm not. Now fuck off Troll.
Has anyone ever thought of the possibility that WE are the apes in the book? That we are the bastard offspring of a race millions of years our predecessor created as slaves but revolted and destroyed our masters and their things? That we created our laws and gods from weak rememberings of past lives... Once i gleaned this, the book became the stuff of nightmares
This film showed up a reality possible. I has so political and human message. After the first movie of this franchise 4 millions of Americans to moved to Australia in the next 10 years. They catched up the message from the movie.
They had some Darwinism in this movie too, but in reverse. It was illegal in schools to teach evolution that man was decendants of apes and in this movie, it was illegal to teach that apes were decendents of man due to the apes "Holly Scriptures". The court scene in a sense was like the "Scopes Monkey Trial" .They also took a famous Will Roger's quote for the ape funeral scene, "I never met a man I didn't like.' to "I never met an ape I didn't like."
This movie was about the actual hidden history of black people the buried statue of liberty was a replica of the buried sphinx in egypt it was about how blacks rule the world and fail
Good video, but the screenshot of the Chimpanzee protesters is from 1970's Beneath the Planet of the Apes, and as such ought not be referenced/used in a video about the first film
I’m a transistorized, transgenederized, transmogrified trans-human A corporatized, commercialized, industrial-strength consumer A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak A social climbing net-worker that’s always on heat I got my education, majoring in indoctrination Where they taught me to comply, to never question why And so I’m chasing an illusion, of success that’s a delusion That is sending me insane, exploding my brain And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct I always wear a smile, coz' I'm living in denial. In 2006 we had used half the world's retrievaable oil. We now use 10 barrels for every one we find, while we use 1billion barrels every 12 days The 6th mass extinction is well underway. It could have been avoided, but we did nothing at all and now rthe chickens are coming home to roost
am i the only one who feels like its all an analogy where the ''smart apes'' from the movie are regular humans, and the humans in the movie are the technological elite, worshiping an atom bomb like it was a god.
Very good breakdown, unfortunately just like the movie those in power still will not be able to stop themselves for their own destruction, and the down trodden, and oppressed will soon have their day. If you catching what I'm throwing.
perfect timing for the current situation of our world............... hope humanity doesn't get outdone by a "virus".... as indicated in the newer POTA series >.>
Just found a plot hole. The ship in the first film says 1972 but the ships back story is unclear since in the rise of the planet of the apes a ship was lost, which was supose to be the first manned ship to mars (set in 2021 if its based on Elon Musks mission. The mars mission seems like it supose to fix the plot hole in the first film but I dunno.

I watched the whole thing and I'm awestruck that you didn't even mention what was made out to be the philosophical question of the film within itself. The apes who ran society found the human civilization ruins and found some of the technology that they had available, but also knew the fate of human civilization. The question that applies to all of humanity within the film and is far more important than certain societies tendencies to discriminate, etc. is: do we, as a species, allow ourselves to develop technologically to the point of finding something so advanced that it could destroy our species entirely if put into the wrong hands... or should we shun technology and stay in the dark to ensure the survival of ourselves and our posterity? Injustices within cultures usually play themselves out eventually, however long it may take. But once we can destroy ourselves, there's really no turning back without destroying the knowledge. I think that's a much more important discussion, what are the limits to our technological abilities? In a world where every nation needs to have the power to destroy every other nation to preserve itself.
Another element Rod Serling threw in was the concept of an advanced prehistoric civilization. In the film it was the human civilization that destroyed itself . Since the 19th century weird artifacts were being unearthed that didn't follow conventional views of history. And after WW2 and the dropping of the atom bombs the theory of an ancient advanced culture became more popular. Apes wasn't the first time he used that idea in a Rod Serling story.
As time went on this idea died off and only Graham Hancock still talks about it.
Was the ending Rod Serling's idea? I noticed the boat hanging offshore in that big final scene.
Is there going to be any other Planet of the Apes movies anymore?
I don't think so in the movie the point was proven they went to it, the series was a series
Yes there is, Kingdom of planet of the apes is coming in 2024
Its pretty obvious who the "damn you all to hell" was meant for. He even states "they blew it up"
I mean it was written by Rod Serling.
the original story was written by Pierre Boule who also wrote the story of Bridge on the River Kwai. But, Serling likely wrote the screenplay.
It was by being inhumane by humans towards other humans that made the latter retaliate. After getting even with their oppressors, the one that had been oppressed became the oppressors. The writer wanted to give emphasis that the ending scene is in the future which means that the story was a subtle foretelling what might going to happen in the future. The great change in dominance. Statue of liberty represents the ruins of what once great development. Take a good look of Detroit now.
Well u know what they say human see human do 😁
I have NEVER seen any of these films, still an interesting video man!
Dude you really should, at least check out the newer films, they're fantastic.
Owen Likes Comics its something im planning on doing next week with a few friends during a "movie/game night", any specific films you would recommend
I'd definitely recommend watching the newer Apes films, and maybe something like 'Looper' if you're in the mood for sci-fi, that's one of my favourite films.
Owen Likes Comics will definitely keep that information in mind when planning future movie nights
It was clear at the end that he was talking to the humans when he damned them all to hell lol. “We finally did it, You maniacs, you blew up”. “ God damn you, God damn you all to hell”. If one didn’t understand that clearly then idk.
In my reality, here in LA, Americans both became very complacent and slept now foreigners are taking over!
Wonderful video
Quick pro-tip to NASA: don't send a astronaut chief who's also misanthrope to a potential first-contact type of mission. That could hurt humans interest. Just sayin'.
Also, who told him he could smoke on the ship?
@@TXKafir Who was going to stop him? ;-)
The primitive setting and non reliance on sci-fi effects is why the 1968 film retains it's potency all these years later. A true masterpiece that uses allegory and satire to maximum effect.
Really GREAT video, you obviously put a lot of research and thought into it! Very impressive indeed and I'll definitely be checking out your other content. Just your pronunciation of "Singes"!!! 😧😣
Why is the book titled Monkey Planet since Monkey's are not Apes. It would be like a book called Llizard Planet that is about the Dinosaurs. Lizards are not Dinossaurs. The better name would be Ape Planet. That is what I would tell the author, and probably give a jab as his French mentality saying 'A Frenchman would be confused about that'. Hares are not Rabbits and Dolphins are not Porpoise, and Alligators are not Crocodiles. Similar but not the same, but then there is the differences between Lizards and Dinosaurs or Monkeys and Apes and it is even more clear they are not the interchangeable and the same. Besides all that, it is a good book, so smile and enjoy the praise of a great well done novel.
Good work. One of my favourite movies.
Hidden meaning.....
They been talking about whom society calls black people. The ones that are Hebrew.
You are exactly right
We Wuz Kangz n Shiet
Don't enslave Hebrews in Egypt and there wont be a problem....uh oh...too late. Rothschild slave ships...east India company. Welcome to Jamaica mon! Now get to work! 😬🚬🚀
Those who are at the head shall be the tail and those who are the tail shall be the head.
@@kenanacampora6648 Sounds like you know the future-Isiah 14:1-2; the captors go into captivity.
Very good, now, please explain the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssy
5:59 "during the 1960s" _[shows a picture of the World Trade Center, which wasn't built until 1975]_
Great observation I have the collection on Blu-ray and I love those movies if it is a little dated
If we only could have gotten Edward G. Robinson's version of Dr. Zaius...This would be an even greater masterpiece although Maurice Evans did a phenomenal job of bringing the character to life.
Crazy ironic how in times like this, movies such as this make more sense then ever! I just saw it again on my fire stick for the 10th time.
Planet of Wakanda !
Wakanda are cannanites that mixed with the fallin ones and gained knowledge they were sons of Ham so was Nimrod Dark skinned people ruled the world for thousands of years and ruled in a cruel way mostly through slavery, they are also called Moors and love to wear the fez they started America and ruled Spain for 800 years whites were their slaves which comes from the word Slavic, Moors were kick out Spain captained Columbus ships started the first plantations in America the first 8 presidents before Washington were Moors, they controlled slavery in Algiers Louisiana look it up on wiki across the river from New Orleans this was the slave holding pens, if you look on new Orleans cop cars you will see the cresent moon and star Islam, Algiers is a country in Africa why is it also in South Louisiana?This is hidden history 30 years of research the Moors had children with their white slaves just like in Spain in Louisiana these people are called Creoles they ruled the south till the civil war the capital of Louisiana was moved to baton rouge to take the political power from them thats what the war was about the powers that be did not want the Moors ruling the whole country like they had in Spain.
Great job!
I loved these movies
This movie series was future history.
In this movie it was the humans who destroyed mankind and the Apes ruled over mankind for humans own destruction. That's why Taylor was very angry and piss off that it was man who destroyed himself? Humanity became not 2nd class citizens but treated like pets and slavery. Man almost became extinct, it's like man's last hope for survival. Roddy McDowell who played in the first few episodes of Planet of the Apes. Charlton Heston play in 2 episodes then he activate the nuclear doomsday machine in part two in Beneath the planet of the apes in 1971.
Europe in the next 30 years
USA too
I certainly prefer the 1968 version best of all.
Me too!
What???!!! You think those things were "hidden" in "Planet of the Apes?!" There was only 1 thing "hidden" in Planet of the apes movie, and that was the resolution to the conflict of the reveal at the end. None of the things you mentioned were "hidden" in Planet of the Apes... in fact, the whole movie smacks the viewer in the face, start to finish, with every overt message it relates... including the ending.
Well, if you mean the explanation of the movie end: Oh my God, the globalists actually did it!
@@anderstopansson I gave no "hidden meaning, in fact, I was quite clear, but I will make a remedial version for you.I'm saying the claim of the video title is bogus. The videographer revealed no hidden meanings in Planet of the Apes. The title was a lie, just to incite clicks on his channel. So, good for OwenLikesComics in his 28k+ gullible subscribers, but I won't be gullible or one of them. If you wish to support Y/T channels who lie about their product, go ahead... I'm not.
Now fuck off Troll.
@@MarkLewis... thx!
Great video!
Thank you!
what exactly was hidden about it?
Well, if you mean the explanation of the movie end: Oh my God, the globalists actually did it!
@@anderstopansson , bill gates and the rothschilds!
Great case study
What’s the meaning of the ending it’s simple when it comes to nuclear weapons don’t monkey around
You can fast forward to the 6:00 mark to view the "Hidden Meaning."
Great analyzation of this book and film; man is the enemy of himself in his racial state of mind.
Has anyone ever thought of the possibility that WE are the apes in the book?
That we are the bastard offspring of a race millions of years our predecessor created as slaves but revolted and destroyed our masters and their things?
That we created our laws and gods from weak rememberings of past lives...
Once i gleaned this, the book became the stuff of nightmares
This film showed up a reality possible. I has so political and human message. After the first movie of this franchise 4 millions of Americans to moved to Australia in the next 10 years. They catched up the message from the movie.
They had some Darwinism in this movie too, but in reverse. It was illegal in schools to teach evolution that man was decendants of apes and in this movie, it was illegal to teach that apes were decendents of man due to the apes "Holly Scriptures". The court scene in a sense was like the "Scopes Monkey Trial" .They also took a famous Will Roger's quote for the ape funeral scene, "I never met a man I didn't like.' to "I never met an ape I didn't like."
The whole series of movies was metaphoric and prophetic. If you look at any hidden meaning , think racial . What was happening at the time ?
The same things that are currently happening.
Hidden meaning ? More like your interpretation.
This movie was about the actual hidden history of black people the buried statue of liberty was a replica of the buried sphinx in egypt it was about how blacks rule the world and fail
The original blockbuster science fiction franchise...
That was great! Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
The bridge over the river kwai? He must be from the other time line. The Sagittarius arm of the Galaxy. Please review The portrait of Dorian Grey.
I really enjoyed the video made me think 🤔. Every got into Judge Dredd? Now that’s a future I pray we don’t walk into .
It's true, I LOVE Judge Dredd, but I would never EVER want to live in his world!
Why did you show a Hollywood movie clip or a ghost when referring to Betelgeuse star?
That is a clip from the film Beetlejuice, hence playing on the name.
Don't say it again!!
Good video, but the screenshot of the Chimpanzee protesters is from 1970's Beneath the Planet of the Apes, and as such ought not be referenced/used in a video about the first film
The war and Civil Rights Mmmm 🤔🤔🤔
This movies ending has always bothered me...How did the Statue of Liberty end up on the rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean???
That's the Atlantic ocean, or the way I always took it!!!!!!!!
They were near NYC as is seen in the first sequel "Beneath the Planet of the Apes"
It a interested idea to combine ape and science fiction alien planet movie
Normalized Insanity
I’m a transistorized, transgenederized, transmogrified trans-human
A corporatized, commercialized, industrial-strength consumer
A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak
A social climbing net-worker that’s always on heat
I got my education, majoring in indoctrination
Where they taught me to comply, to never question why
And so I’m chasing an illusion, of success that’s a delusion
That is sending me insane, exploding my brain
And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct
I always wear a smile, coz' I'm living in denial.
In 2006 we had used half the world's retrievaable oil. We now use 10 barrels for every one we find, while we use 1billion barrels every 12 days
The 6th mass extinction is well underway. It could have been avoided, but we did nothing at all and now rthe chickens are coming home to roost
The whole movie is a weekend in Portland.
am i the only one who feels like its all an analogy where the ''smart apes'' from the movie are regular humans, and the humans in the movie are the technological elite, worshiping an atom bomb like it was a god.
Now I know where the Monkey pops came from.
Wrong. It' is absolutely clear Taylor's famous line is referring to the humans. How did you not get that? It's been clear to everyone else since 1968.
Very good breakdown, unfortunately just like the movie those in power still will not be able to stop themselves for their own destruction, and the down trodden, and oppressed will soon have their day. If you catching what I'm throwing.
It's also a satire on religious fundamentalism.
Charlton Heston activates the H-Bomb, his hand resembles an ape hand. Coincidence?
In 2019, MORALITY, is lacking!
perfect timing for the current situation of our world............... hope humanity doesn't get outdone by a "virus".... as indicated in the newer POTA series >.>
Spaceballs?!?! There goes the Planet!
Just found a plot hole. The ship in the first film says 1972 but the ships back story is unclear since in the rise of the planet of the apes a ship was lost, which was supose to be the first manned ship to mars (set in 2021 if its based on Elon Musks mission. The mars mission seems like it supose to fix the plot hole in the first film but I dunno.
Movies are truth,
... News spreads & parrots cabal lies
- Please pray for humanity 🙏🏼
Put on THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD 🎚
