- Rise of the Planet of the Apes shattered all expectations upon its release in 2011, revitalizing a franchise that had long been thought dead and kickstarting my favorite trilogy of films I've ever seen. Let's talk about how that happened.

It's been a few months since the first part, but don't worry, the Dawn video will be the first video of 2021! I can't wait to share my love of Matt Reeves with you all.
I watch a lot of video essays, but yours are some of the ones that have the strongest emotional impact on me. This is like the 3rd of your vids that has me tearing up
Sweet! I'm so excited! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You have just described what is happening today in this world
I just subscribed because of this video
This one video sqeezed a tear and a subscription out of me. Can't wait to see part 2 & 3 sir. Good work.
James Franco doesn’t get enough credit acting in this movie. He had to have an emotional scene where he was literally opposite of a man in gray tights with his face pressed up against glass pretending to be an ape lmao
@@Ziggy.. thinking of it makes me laugh imagine how he felt actually being there. Acting definitely isn’t easy and it’s super scary to do.
So easy it is to believe that acting isn't hard: Pretend and play as if. No. You gotta believe that shit.
And Andy had to act against James Franco pretending to be a scientist. Not sure which one had it worse.
@@mightisright hahaha
Well, he's an actor. It's his job.
Caesar shouting *NOOOOOOOO* is one of my favorite movie moments.
Same.
I saw it in theaters and I'll remember the audience's reaction to that scene for the rest of my life
Of all time!
iant gone lie if an ape screamed no at me ill be dammed not to obey
Definitely. One of my all time favourite
It’s honestly pretty sad that Caesar never saw Will again after Rise.
same idk why they just changed the main human character but I guess Will really got no reason to stop Ceasar
@@themonocleguy371 Will died from the virus. There wasn't anything that could be done for him
@themonocleguy371 It would have been contrived and unrealistic if Will was still lurking around after the first movie
The second film is a masterpiece, a film where the build up to combat is seen as a tragedy unfolding and not a cheap spectacle, where war is shown as fear and misunderstanding winning the day. I have never seen a blockbuster approach violence in such a grown up way.
The last one was a masterpiece
Y’all use masterpiece waaaay to lightly
loved the false flag aspect of the kick off to the war.. all too familiar and more impactful for it
@ANDON HOWARD unpopular opinion: the Star Wars prequels were great.
@@03PaK unpopular? revenge of the sith is one of the best star wars movies
I'll be forever pissed that Andy Serkis didn't get an Oscar for his performance as Ceasar...
Agreed to me it’s one the biggest robberies ever, to not even get a nomination is just crazy
Just another case of stuck up Hollywood claiming only verbal and live -action performance is the 'superior artform'
Just shows how bullshit and out of touch awards shows REALLY are
Oscars don't mean anything anymore.
And for LOTR.
I love Maurice. throughout the saga he is Caesar's right hand, and one of his only true ape friends, right till the very end. my favourite character of the franchise.
I actually think this is one of the mistakes they made. I don't think the Gorilla should have been killed off. I think Rocket (just had to Google him) should have been more memorable.
LOTR is an example of how many characters should stick around throughout a trilogy. I think the Planet of the Apes trilogy had too many characters come and go throughout. It makes it harder to care about "the group". It was a great trilogy, second to none others made from 2010 - 2020, but it doesn't have the same impact as LOTR, even though it could have.
Definitely
@@manictiger I disagree I think it brought to light the truth that no one is safe in war and it really shows how fucked up humans are
@@manictiger Well throughout the trilogy, it's made clear that Rocket and Maurice are Caesar's best friends. In fact, they're the only ones who actually stick with him through the whole trilogy. Buck died(may he rest in peace), Koba started a mutiny(and then died as well), and then Luca also died. I completely get what you're saying. But even in small scenes that dont have too much impact on the plot, Maurice and Rocket are always there. Such as whenever Malcolm and co are trying to get the dam started. Caesar is there on horse back waiting for them at the surface. Who else is there with him? Rocket and Maurice.
@@gayfrog6015
A smart leader doesn't put high ranking officers into high risk situations. Loyalty and talent is too rare for that. Caesar is supposed to be a literal genius, somewhere around 140 - 170 I.Q. That's how he's portrayed in the first movie, easily acing puzzles most humans struggle with.
At the end, yes, that's when you kill off beloved characters to show that the odds have turned against the heroes, and that sacrifices have to be made to get back on track. But killing 2/3rds of Caesar's crew from the first film, renders a lot of the ape cage and liberation scenes less important and even bleeds time out of the second film, as they spend about 40 minutes trying to rebuild sentiment, instead of building the next plot in a faster and more sophisticated manner.
That kind of exposition is never needed in Star Wars 5 and 6 or LOTR 2 and 3. You know the characters and stakes by the second film and it just goes straight into action.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the heck out of the Planet of the Apes trilogy. Watched it multiple times. But, I see directing errors that I don't see in other trilogies. I think they weren't sure if the 1st one would be a success, so they put all their chips down in the first one, and had to rebuild sentiment and suspense after doing that.
34:27
Ceaser rejects Will because he doesnt want to leave the other apes in captivity the way that they were. When he turns around, you can see his face visibly trying to keep his composure because he had to pretty much reject his father to free his people/apes.
I feel like it was both, ya know?
I agree. And I disagree with what the narrator said about how Will looked at Caesar. I think Will genuinely cared for Caesar; that he really did view himself as Caesar's father, for all intents and purposes. Caesar wasn't a mere ape to Will. He was Will's family.
@@Chocobear555 seriously, if will didn't put ceaser in the sanctuary they would've euthanized him. But, he should've immediately paid to get him out.
@@Chocobear555 exactly i was hoping this would be a great retrospective on rise, but its just full of inaccurate takes.
@@Chocobear555I think he came to that conclusion due to the leash in Wills hand. To me (and to Ceasar) he knows he means well (he turned his back because it was a hard decision to make). But that doesn't matter.
It's what that leash the hand gesture represents not the intent. If he goes back, Ceasar is back at square one just looking at the world passing by in that familar yet small window. Leaving the other apes behind in this cycle of abuse. This is what made Ceasar saying "NO!" so powerful. He is done submitting going for scraps and not truly being free. Ceasar never hated Will. He even understands why he made those decisions. But something has to give to break that system.
I said this to my friend at the time: _The Andy Serkis apes trilogy is probably the only time a reboot was ever done well and not only once but an astounding three times_ .
Each movie in the trilogy is better than the next. You never see a reboot that not only lives up to the original but exceeds the original in every way.
A trilogy masterpiece

We go half a movie without a word from him, and when we hear his first word, it's *NO*
Perfect. Fucking. Line.
@@hollowhoagie6441 and it gave the audience a big shocking moment that was never pulled off since Psycho.
Bro I just got chills thinking about the line
Periodt!!
16:59 FUCKING CHILLS
This entire trilogy is by far one of the best trilogy, in cinema history. It's so good. I feel like this trilogy is underrated, even though tons of people know it.
same
Why is it that some of the best trilogies have the weirdest premises? A giant turtle fights giant monsters, wimpy nerd gets bitten by experimental spider and gets powers, monkeys rise up. Like not bad by any means, they are all amazing just like, its so cool
@@caramelcandys Which trilogy do you mean when you say "A giant turtle fights giant monsters" ?
@@bogzbiny He’s probably talking about the Gamera trilogy
Lol it’s no where near one of the best trilogies of all time
Wish I could go back and watch this movie for the first time again. I remember that “NO” being bone chilling. You felt it in your chest and the terrified smiles that crept across everyone’s faces were priceless.
That shot of Caesar resting his face against the chalk window was one of the most gut wrenching scenes of the entire trilogy, even now it still gets me.
I remember seeing this at the theater. When Caesar said "No" the theater was dead silent. No one said anything for the next 20 minutes.
People talk in your cinema? Weird. And disrespectful
Why was your movie theatre talking on the first part?
@@yesicollectwarhammerfiguri9473 Whispers here and there. Not full on conversations. But it was so quiet it felt like I was the only one there. I had to look around to make sure no one vanished.
@@adrianthomas4163 It's good you confirmed that it was the scene making everyone go quiet and not Thanos snapping his fingers in the theater down the hall. :P

Not enough credit given to that man for sure!
I never realized how freaking good this film is after watching this video, I'm so looking forward for Part 2
Is part 2 coming? I mean this video came out 4 months agi
@@austinmartinez2364 He released the intro for part 2 onto his patreon. It's probably coming out this month
I was just hunting through his channel thinking I might find it haha
So someone had to explain to yig why it was good? Not really a brag my man.. Here's a spoiler the next two are even better.. Also the classic series is still great
same man, he describe the movie so good and how much detail and story it is
"Caesar is home."
Brings me to tears man. What's amazing is that scene was a last minute addition.
I remember LOVING this trilogy! My family and i used to watch it damn near every week. I can proudly say i seen all 3 in theaters. Amazing. Thank you for shining a light on this trilogy and how dope it is!
Has anyone else pointed out the extreme poetic irony in the fact that this film explores the concept of a window as a boon and a barrier and when they asked Tim Burton if he'd ever direct another Apes film he literally said "I'd rather jump out a window"
Damn. Talk about a coincidence
holy shit you're right lol
LMFAO
Hollywood oppression.

Never has a character saying "NO" meant so much or been so epic
I wanna like your comment but that “100” looks cool. Just know that I like your comment. 😅😂
WANDAVISION
What about Darth Vader? Or was it his son or something
I didn't wanna like it bc it was a solid 100, but now I'm your 300th like. Life comes full circle. ☺️☺️☺️☺️😂
Neo's "NO" in The Matrix was good too
Does anyone have a time machine so I can watch the tragedy of dawn now?
I hope the next one comes out soon
Go further into the future than Jan 2021
@Chris Peers it should be out soon I believe. There is a small teaser for it on the community tab.
Dawn in my Opinion was the Best Movie of the Trilogy I loved them all but Dawn was phenomenal. Caesar and Koba's rivalry for Leadership was such a great story they were both Total Opposites one was raised by good people in a loving home and protected, the other Was Tortured and Abused by Humans
I watched the trilogy last weekend and not even 10 minutes had passed on Rise and I was already hooked. These movies are perfection.
I've been raving about rise of the planet of the apes for years. This video didnt come a moment too soon, I've never felt more validated
The scene were Cesar screams NO! Was absolutely insane the whole theater went completely silent and me and my date literally looked at each other with jaws dropped it was too cool. One of my favorite cinema moments I've had
same! 1 of the most powerful and most remembered scenes of all time!
First seeing that moment in the cinema put a huge smile on my face and still a stand out moment.
This happened in my theater, too! When the damn dirty ape line came out everybody was chuckling. But then when Cesar said his line the theater fell DEAD silent, all the laughter stopped on a dime. It was incredible.
The Gorilla's response is the best. That he as an ape is as shocked as the humans. You see how Caesar is the truly bridge between the two and both humans and apes see that he's changed things forever. He's not a human, he's not just an ape,he's something new entirely.
"Nearly bites this guys finger off"
*shows ceaser biting his finger off*
Andy Serkis sure loves those finger biting scenes
@@eliforeal5261 I hear fingers are quite nice this time of year
Lmao
@@scottwilliams645 they are quite ripe this season
@@scottwilliams645 delicious
I like the way you emphasised the fact that Caesar was an ape for a long time, before revealing that it is actually about being human. You captured the essence of the experience of watching the film very well.
I think his shame at what he was, comes directly from the fact he wasn't what he thought he was. A perfect reflection of the human condition. What we accept unquestioning, as human nature, is nothing more than learned behaviour.
This video essay is a piece of art in of itself. Perfectly crafted and the way that you explain every point is clear and concise. Thank you for this, it’s so inspiring and fulfilling to see great quality content like this, on UA-cam these days. I hope one day that I will be able to create an analysis of a film that I love with as much care and detail as you have.
He freed Koba. He trusted Koba. A trust he learned, all to late, was misplaced.
Koba was tactically more advanced then Ceaser. Koba simply had a different upbringing ripe with torture /experimentation. Remember Koba was the First ape to get the AZr drug and was already highly intelligent before ceaser
@@crabtrap
That's all true. And it all lead to Koba deposing Ceasar and plunging Apes once more into war with Humanity
@@hunterv9983 i have had this debate before: war was coming regaurdless, Koba knew this and decided to preemptivly strike while the humans were disorganized and weak. Even ceaser knew war was inevitable
that part showed ceasar that they were more humanlike than he thought, that they're becoming equal even in the bad parts
@@333dae i would agree with that too.
Did anyone else find themselves in a strange yet amazing place during Rise: shouting an excited “Yes” when Ceasar finally roars “No” for the first time?
Xd
Theater i was at was groaning at what the caretaker said but then when Caesar shouted no it got so quiet in the theater you could hear a pin dropping
Tbh I wanted the guy to pull a side arm and put that chatty ape to sleep 🙂
After the Covid-19 lockdown I think we all now know just how Caesar felt when his window was taken away.
Not even close
Caesar is more like Moses in this movie trilogy.
Yes and in the next one George Washington
@@l1m0b0at3 right, because george washington was oppressed...
@@trevorward6040 I meant he turned into a george Washington type not that he was literally george Washington in monke form lol

Preach!
"An ape just spoke, something that is to be religated only to humans."
Parrots: Am i a joke to you?
edit: everyone its a joke, calm down about parrots just mimicing speech
Nice joke made me laugh but I think he means that Caeser knew what he was saying he knew that he was retaliating where as a parrot only repeats what I has been told without knowing the meaning behind it.
Also husky’s weirdly enough 😅
@@zantinottbrock6427 actually, they can know the meaning behind what they're saying, and some do
@@indeed260 I believe rather than “understanding” the words via meanings birds understand responses via repeated sounds. So if they repeat something like a name they don’t know that it’s a name, but they know it elicits a specific response from others (their caretakers). The fact that they can’t create a new sentence from random words is proof that the words have no meanings, but they know to repeat a phrase if they want something.
Caesar on the other hand creates sentences from new and random words. That is proven by the fact that he and many apes can use sign language which birds cannot. Thus when Caesar speaks it is proof that he is not just copying, he is using language. He understands that “no” has a meaning and that is why he says it.
@@spartan1010101 In July 2005, Pepperberg reported that Alex understood the concept of zero.[21] If asked the difference between two objects, he also answered that; but if there was no difference between the objects, he said "none", which meant that he understood the concept of nothing or zero.[22] In July 2006, Pepperberg discovered that Alex's perception of optical illusions was similar to human perception.[23]
Oh my god. Caesar is Markus from Detroit: Become Human. How have I not thought of that until right now.
Other way around

@@adventurouseddie9369 Bro what
I knew it was ahead of its time when I first watched it because I was so blown away with how they told the story. I was left speechless at the end, and all I felt was wanting more. I'm grateful they gave us a trilogy. Without Andy, it wouldn't have been as successful as it has been. I'm ready for more though, and I pray they do give us more stories.
Fantastic and awesome video bud. Great job.
I can't believe I almost fell for the claim that Andy Serkis played Theodore.

@@StoryStreet love seeing UA-camrs supporting other UA-camrs ❤️ great video man, can't wait for part 2!!!
These films have always been an inspiration to me. My mom showed me the original film when I was young, and when the new one started coming out it really hit me at the right time when I started writing.
Keep up the great work!
Iv been trying to name my kid after caesar but are lass wouldn't have it
I could not more seriously agree with this comment.
You’re addicted to talking about movies like me😂
His metamorphosis from clinging to the window via memory and his drawing to accepting his identity and revolutionizing the freedom for not only himself but for his kind is such an important detail to acknowledge. A triumph of growth and a triumph of breaking free from the metaphorical and physical chains of oppression. What an amazing film analysis. Great job man.
This comment just made me realize the drawing he made on the wall was a drawing of the window 😢😭 Thank you!
I thought I was the only one who loved the series.
Same
not the only one bro. The series is a gold fr
i still remember when i was in the theater at 11 the silence and shock in the air when he said no that shit still shakes me
Truuuue
this is when the ape start thinking he's not ape but as much human as himans speak their language then he will claim their language and claim being that he's israelite after he was ape this is when he write the word Jacobs
Same bro! That was insane, that was the “I am your father” mic drop for me in terms of modern films because I was 11 at the time
I love that the crescendo before it comes out is so thunderous and like "EVERYONE STFU LET THE MAN SPEAK"
And it worked
If these Movies are Deep Explorations of what Humans are,
then HunterxHunter is God-Level-Uber-Hyper-Deep.
This trilogy is one of the greatest ever.
Fax. An underrated one too I might add.
Binged the whole trilogy in one sitting and i gotta say Caesar is probably one of my favourite movie protagonists ever
His arc was a treat to witness
Caesar's first word: 'No!"
Caesar's first sentence: "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
Why this first sentence ? 😅
Funny how a movie that this time tells the story from the apes' perspective is the one with most human skill, heart and thought.
Finally.....someone finally GETS IT!!! That the reboot Planet of the Apes trilogy is one of the greatest most well written trilogies of our time! That Andy Serkis is one of the most under appreciated actors of all time! That these movies mean SO MUCH! Someone FINALLY put it into words.

Flawless. These videos are absolutely flawless. I shed tears at moments. What an unexpected pleasure.
I am now subscribed, and a greatful fan.
Thank you.
Christ did I take this movie, this whole trilogy, for granted. It's brilliant and I look forward to part 2.
I don't think "Caesar" didn't want to be an ape. I think he didn't realize he was an "ape" until he was betrayed from his own perspective. When in captivity he realized he wasn't the exception he thought he was.
Similar to black ppl who think they’re above racism, that it doesn’t affect them. Until that day, it sucker punches them in the face.
@@AmazingJayB51 oh shit that's me
@@AmazingJayB51 similar to any poc
@@AmazingJayB51”Ceaser didn’t know he was an ape…”
“Similar to black people..”
I still remember when Caesar says no it sends shivers thru me and everyone in the theatre either gasped or did a nervous little chuckle because we allowed ourselves to believe it was a real ape . That’s solid fucking filmmaking right there .
The same thing happened to the audience I saw it with. Dead silence, except for one or two excited chuckles. I'll never forget it. The moment was finally (out-)matched by the scene where Red Donkey finally saves Caesar at the end of War. That made everyone break down in floods of tears.
@@oscarhjelmgren6751 Yea it’s one of those moments that isn’t talked about enough in tentpole film history . These should be help up with the dark knight trilogy and the marvel films as some of the best blockbuster movies of its generation .
Andy Serkis's acting I this triology broke the barrier between a performance by an actor in live and performance by an actor in motion capture. Truly revolutionary. It's a crime that his performance for War wasn't considered even for a nomination at the Oscars.
HONESTLY when ceaser said his first word, that "NO!" was probably one of the most powerful one liners Ive ever seen in a movie... IT SENDS CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE EVERYTIME I SEE IT
That's why there should be another Oscars category : Motion Capture Performance.
andy serkis would gettem all doe
considering the small amount of films released each year with mo-cap performances, it wouldnt be a good idea :/
A broader category would be a good compromise though.
A lot of video games would get nominated then, I don’t think many movies with motion capture are filmed a year
Why should that be a separate category?
My man doesn’t even mention the bone chilling ending, with the world map as the disease spreads?!
It was subtle yet so heavy in setting up sequels. It was amazing
the planet of the apes franchise knows how to make scary endings.
because it's not just the protagonist or a family it's the whole world that is doomed.
I mean we are living through it by now
I was hoping that scene would have been brought up. Maybe he will put it at the beginning of his Dawn recap as that’s how everything starts.
Return to monke
God I forgot about the first movie. Not the plot or the characters but the way it made me feel. The feeling of betrayal and confusion that Caesar felt. There’s only a few movies that ever made me feel that as a kid, this and AI weirdly. It’s like the feeling of getting dropped off at school for the first time. There’s all these people you don’t know, you’re alone, afraid, worried no one’s ever coming back for you. Such a strange feeling.
There are few movies I fall in love with after the initial watch and Rise is one of them. The emotions you feel for an animal are a testament to the great story.
"NOOOOO!" Never had a single word from a movie moved me to the point of catharsis like that. I remember my skin crawling, my eyes widening and my fists clenching as though I was Caesar! As a sci-fi junkie I think that scene is the single best 5 seconds in the history of sci-fi cinema.
G Lucas: “Hold my nonsense-beer 🍺....
“I’ll Add unnecessary “noooooo’s” EVERYWHERE: try me!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely one of my favourites
I agree totally.
Agreed. I thought I’d get the same sentiment the first time Godzilla let out his cry in this most recent reboot. Maybe the volume was too low in the theater, but it seemed so subdued. But even so, nothing has touched this moment that Serkis gave to us with Caesar... the closest was Zachary Quinto reaching down to scream “KHAAAAAN” when Kirk was trapped and died.
I would say this is tied with darth Vader telling Luke he’s his father. It’s more iconic, and it’s after a fight that the hero gets beat and bested by this threatening villain that nobody knew who he was under that mask. Both are beautiful scenes.
Andy Serkis is a once a generation actor.
I love this message.
srly he deserves more love, great actor.
This analysis plus this movie made me tear up here in happiness. When I was a kid I saw Planet of the Apes and found it so damn goofy. My kid brain didn't comprehend it I just found it funny like haha walking monke.
When I saw Rise and all three movies when I was older, damn, it broke me. It was a masterpiece of a movie.
The whole window drawing thing is so simple yet so beautifully set up and written
"Draw the audience in with the promise of apes"
Best line in the whole video
gimme monke
Everybody wants monke
MONKE
Man, this was fantastic. Snappy pacing, strong insights into the production and themes of the movie, great underplayed narration infused with just enough emotion. Can't wait to see the next two parts of this!
Is this the pancakes guy?
So true
What a coincidence! I just found you a few days ago replaying through Dying Light. Love your vids man
plot twist there was never mort parts
Its been 6 months Dont think part 2 is coming
That “NO” gives me chills every single time, even when I know it’s coming. Can’t express how much I love this trilogy, but having watched all 3 of your videos on them, you’ve said it all.
Incredible video essay. I've always felt these films were so freaking underappreciated because so few people gave them a chance due to the "stigma," if you will, of the previous Planet of the Apes films. Really loved seeing all the reasons I love this trilogy spelled out for me.
As someone who used to be part of a cult, and thus opressed, I almost cried when you started talking about the window metaphor. The happiest day of my life was when I demanded for more than I was given, and left the cult forever. It's been 3 years since.
Dang that’s heavy mate. Glad you made the choice.
@@matthewchapman6305 Thanks!
Glad you made that choice hope you doing better in life now 🙏 👍 🙂 😊
@@davidpoa7775 Actually I am, thanks to the help and support of friends who left the same cult months to weeks before I did. One of them is now my wife, and we've just had our 2nd anniversary last month.
@@Alejandroigarabide so happy for you that took a lot of strength
I can’t recall the last time an analysis of a film so expressed the feeling of the film and exposed nuances I never noticed that the insight moved me to tears but this did. Thank you for posting this. I can’t wait to see your analysis of Dawn and War.
As a gay man I agree!!
@@Coffeeisnecessarynowpepper why’s that important? lol

Rewatched the movie and then watched this
Man the Cesar trilogy is a masterpiece
These movies raised me and gave me my love of special effects and the end of war had me crying my eyes out because of this emotional attachment I had to Caesar
Me just finding this channel and seeing that the follow up isn't out yet: "You're gonna make me subscribe, aren't you?"
Same
Same, but isn't it worth it to subscribe for such quality content?
This is UA-cam, you're not allowed to make me feel and question myself or life or what being alive is. I got on UA-cam because I had 5 mins to kill waiting for a doctors appointment, now I'm sitting in my car still in the parking lot after the appointment because I couldn't wait till I got home to finish hearing what you had to say. You spoke, I listened.... And I'm better for it. Thank you.
😂 I love these type of vids it's ashamed that this youtuber isn't bigger
Who would have thought a movie about apes taking over the earth could be so good?
I just watched the Trilogy for the first time in my life. Woah... I. Am. Astonished. I watched them without subtitles but the actors had such amazing performances that it wasn't needed to understand them; even the side characters were phenomenal. Some of the greatest written films I've seen both objectively, and subjectively, of all time. I began learning sign language because of this film trilogy and plan on getting Caesar on my left leg.
"he should have been grateful for the window"
thank you for this critical piece looking looking into a worthy cinematic trilogy
lol
The way you read your scripts adds so much to what you wrote. When you slow down the tempo of your speech when arriving at the point of a theme really hits it out of the park. I’ve been recommending your channel to my friends, and I hope your channel gets the attention it deserves.
That scene where he draws the window on the wall has got to be the most heartbreaking scene ever, made me tear up a little even watching it in this
Easily one of the best Trilogies ever made. Simply amazing.
I am forever crushed that this series never got any real Oscar nods, this trilogy made Planet Of the Apes into an arthouse blockbuster series and I am forever looking for the day this series gets the credit it deserves
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS IT'S SO BEAUTIFULY CRAFTED.
Caesar is one of the most human character
8 Months Later, and Still Patiently Awaiting Part 2 . . .
I need to learn to watch movies like this guy does.
you need to learn how movies are made then, you cant analyse it well if you dont know what the process is.
like a pretentious douche?
Just know that James Franco was the reason humans almost went extinct
Maybe at first but he spent a good part of the movie trying to stop/slow down development of the chemical, it was the business dude that made the new version that was contagious and bad for humans.
Give him a break. He had to take down Kim Jong Un too
@@dagetheevil1 he also died defending Spider-Man. It ain’t easy being James Franco lmao.
you wrote, scripted and edited this perfectly
Slow clapping...... 👏.
This was a PERFECT in-depth review of this movie. Hats of to you sir!
Damn, it’s crazy cuz I feel like most people can actually relate to Caesar. The feeling of isolation, an outcast, betrayed by the people you trusted, thus shaping you into a leader of your own domain. Acquiring the ability to defend yourself mentally and physically. Then when the people that left you return, you realize you never needed them in the 1st place. Though you are grateful, you no longer crave their company as you did before because now you found a new home, a new people. Before you were alone and weak. Now you’re with your people, stronger than ever before.
It's been 4 months, and I'm still hoping for part 2 to be up sometime soon 😓
Me too 🥺😭
It’s out now!
Andy has such animated facials. He portrays emotions like a god
"even though deep down you know thats not actually an ape" ...... I DIDNT UNTIL NOW
OUTSTANDING video essay. 👏 👏 👏
Now onto episode 2…
Caesar would give Godzilla a run for his money if he was King Kong's size
Big monke vs big lizard
@@duatia5315 big smart monke
So kong ?
@Lul Marr very high intelligence
Godzilla: i'm a god, now bow
King Caesar: *inhales* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bro you're too small to be creating videos of this quality, you should have as much or even more subscribers as people like the closer look, and Elvis the alien, your quality is definitely on par
Agreed completely
@@NoahMoorman Well ur wrong.
@@NoahMoorman I cant change ur opinion so, this argument wont go anywhere. I think its nearly a masterpiece.
This channel is stupidly underrated.
Man Rise broke my freaking heart. Felt so bad for Caesar. That's the mark of a great flick.
I always knew this movie was deeper than I could explain, this video sums it up perfectly
When Ceasar said "Sorry pizza toots" I felt that.
Not a week has gone by w/o me checking if part 2 is uploaded
It's my sixth time rewatching all three essays, it has become my comfort content... thank you 🥺
