Since even the monkeys are on vacation I take to review the film saga created by the classic film Planet of the Apes, and reminding staff this summer opens new chapter of the saga: Rise of the Apes , it has easy to overcome the bluff that was the new version of Tim Burton, a director as great as irregular.
Planet of the Apes / Planet of The Apes (1968). J. Franklin Schaffner.
George Taylor (Charlton Heston) is part of a crew of astronauts aboard a spacecraft (in a mission whose purpose has never been cleared up) that star 2,000 years after his departure on an unknown planet, seemingly devoid of intelligent life. But he soon realizes that the place is ruled by a race of intelligent apes who enslave humans (lacking the power of speech). When its leader, Dr. Zaius (Maurice Evans) discovers with horror the ability to speak to Taylor (Sole survivor of the crew) decides it's best to exterminate to protect the secrets behind the ape civilization.
Taylor helped by scientists Aurelio (Roddy McDowall) and Zira (Kim Hunter) seek to unravel the mysteries of this civilization upside down in the mysterious Forbidden Zone.
Cold War, civil rights struggle, action, adventure and one of the final closing scenes in film history, all that is in The Planet of the Apes.
If you expect a deluge of data and anecdotes from filming, I recommend the wonderful documentary that includes Special Edition Planet of the Apes, I give my point of view of a fan.
With this film Charlton Heston, the old facade, the president of the National Rifle Association, the great actor began his astonishing and masterful trilogy of science fiction Progre with The Omega Man and Soylent When.
I do not remember how much time has passed since the first time I saw her, just know it was in a Telecinco that had significantly reduced the amount of tits and ass of their programs (Tutti Frutti and other geniuses noventeras) and began Film program schedules decent quality (see to believe) just know that advertising I never took so long.
The film did not seem antiquated, Taylor surprised me in confidence so cynical from the beginning, the makeup was effective and credible, humorous winks were great as the initial hunting where we take pictures of apes.
And the final third in crescendo, with justice, avoidance, revelations, the final surprise, and the cry of: Maniacs!. I flew the brain.
Time passed and I saw and even bought it on DVD and I was surprised, the truth is that until a few years ago I had never set that when Taylor's ship crashes one of his fellow yells: Send the signal!. "Alibi for the sequel or coincidence?, I prefer the second option because the consequences were not commonplace in those days and the projects were not born as sagas with their spin offs and other inventions out-rooms.
What always intrigued me was the Conspiracy, I would like to see a version of the film focuses on Dr. Zaius and goings to prevent the truth from coming to light, but that would not show us how the Landon went, the other astronaut captured by the apes and only return to see lobotomized by Zaius.
He also caught some bugs and the fact that apes seem too advanced for some things like the weapons issue. They have rifles and pistols, material that makes you the village blacksmith and requires precision in its production, as happens with bullets. This leads me to believe that their technology should be higher, peeeeeeero ... is a movie and not have to give more laps.
A must-see movie a dozen times before he died, if only for Nova (Linda Harrison). Heston lucky old bastard.
premiered in 1968 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick wanted her to prove that they could make science fiction films with content, to invite reflection and technically well resolved.
As the producer Arthur P. Jacobs along with Schaffner and writer Rod Serling Demosthenes in the same 1968 that could do everything and the way Kubrick wanted to have a good time the audience (2001 entertaining, fun ...., pos'no).
