Rise of the Planet of the Apes

‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’, directed by Rupert Wyatt is about Will, one of the main characters, taking Caesar home so that he doesn’t get put down. He finds out that the drug, ALZ112, to cure alzheimers was passed onto Caesar, which makes him really intelligent. At the end of the movie he gives all the other apes the drug and they all escape from the enclosure, Will’s old work and from the zoo. Then hundreds of apes are running riot. In this movie Rupert Wyatt expresses that keeping wild animals domesticated can have bad consequences, that trying to increase intelligence is wrong and that things are supposed to happen for a reason and not to be changed. The director uses sound, camera and mise-en-scene to show how Caesar and Wills relationship changes through out the film.

At the start of ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes,’ Will and Caesar are not very close as they have just met. Will was not sure how to take care of a baby ape, and he is mostly interested in Caesar when he finds out that the drug ALZ112 was passed onto him by his mother. In the first scene Caesar depends on Will to feed him and take care of him. The director shows that Will is not that interested in Caesar in sound when Will says, “This isn’t my responsibility, its company property.” This shows that Will does not care for Caesar and that they have not bonded yet. Wyatt shows that Will is only interested in Caesar because of the drug by showing an extreme close up on Caesars eye, which shows the bright green specks in his eyes. The bright green specks in his eyes show that the drug has been passed on from his mother. It also shows that Will is only keeping Caesar because the drug was passed on to him, and so that he can carry on with his experiment at home. Nearer the end of the first scene Rupert Wyatt shows Will and Caesar starting to bond by mise-en-scene, when Caesar starts crying in the middle of the night so Will cuddles him in a blanket and the

    Either the Heron or Hawk and fish populations in the salt water marshes are a prime example of a predator-prey relationship; the heron finds its prey by walking or “waddling” through the shallow waters of the marsh and catching fish by striking them with the birds long neck and beak, swallowing the fish whole; and the Hawk with its powerful wings flies down and grabs the fish right out of the water (Also helping to control the area’s fish population.)…

    In one episode of the TV series The Big Bang Theory, someone ruins the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark by pointing out that the character of Dr. Indiana Jones is irrelevant to the actual story. In a similar vein, some historians make the argument that Abraham Lincoln is not critical to the Civil War and its outcome: the war happens anyway, even if Lincoln had never been born, and the North still would have won if someone other than Lincoln becomes president in 1860. That is considered to be double edge statement that I ever heard one. There are those would say that the sixteenth president of the United states that Abraham Lincoln was considered to those has a person who wished to unite his country for his American citizens and slaves during this…

    For my verbal-visual collage, I chose to read the book The Monkeyface Chronicles by Richard Scarsbrook. Richard is a Canadian author who attended Western University where he earned an Honours BA in history. He also attended U of Ottawa and received his Bachelor of Education. Richard published his book the Monkeyface Chronicles in 2010. I chose to read this book for my project because it was recommended by the library staff at NT. Also, the novel won the Ontario Library Association’s White Pine Award in 2011. The White Pine Award is an annual literature award that has awarded young adult novels since 2002.

    Dawn Of The Apes Satire

    • 565 Words
    • 3 Pages

    First off, the reason the apes were able to branch off into their own civilization was due to the lack of care from the humans. Apes were being tested and being given intelligence by human. Scientists treated the apes for the most part horribly, which caused the apes to resent humans, to the point where when the apes escaped captivity, they fought back against the humans. What this means is that humans practically set up their own demise because they were too careless, and acted cruel to the apes not knowing about the dangers they might cause. Another critique from this film would be its projection of war. Throughout the film, apes and humans exchanged blows which is leading to the inevitable final battle for dominance of earth. War is shown as a destructive act of unnecessary conflict that is unavoidable due to the competitive nature of an intelligent race. Caesar said it himself he thought that “apes were better than humans,” but he then realized, “how much like them they really are”. War is one of the worst aspects of our current world, countries fighting each other to either get what they want out of another country, or just to make a statement. It’s a shame that no matter what war always finds a way to ruin the world, and divide the earth to never trust another country. In this film, depending on who loses the war, apes or humans, their fate is pretty much sealed and the other will be king species of…

    Imagine walking through the zoo and approaching the habitat of the great apes. Suddenly, you find yourself thinking about how different you are from these creatures. They can’t speak, they aren’t advanced, and don’t wear clothes. It is at this moment that you start to feel superior to these animals. Realizing this, you start to believe that you are in no way similar to these animals. This description is a common belief for most humans, the idea that we are in no way similar to the great apes. Though there are many biological and social differences between Homo Sapiens and the great apes, who are all members of the Hominoidea Infraorder, (a sub-classifaction of the primate order within the animal kingdom) there are also many similarities.…

    There has been so much debate over scientists suggesting one thing over another about humans being a distant relative of the apes and how they share most genes. I personally think that human and apes do share similarities such as most genes. Furthermore, “Humans belong to the biological group known as Primates, and are classified with the great apes, one of the major groups of the primate evolutionary tree. Besides similarities in anatomy and behavior, our close biological kinship with other primate species is indicated by DNA evidence. It confirms that our closest living biological relatives are chimpanzees and bonobos, with whom we share many traits” (Average Cranium). As stated in the article “Genesis and the Genome,” homology is explained…

    We, homo sapiens, are the sole survivors of a long lineage of hominins. Why we beat our contemporaries is not precisely explained but many theories support the notion that our physical build (endurance running); diet (omnivores of fish, insects, meat and vegetables); ability to adapt (sewing and tools from animal bones) and innovate in new environments (migration to all regions, not just Europe); and, intellect for conveying thought and meaning, set us apart from our competitor cousins.…
