Living creatures don’t live forever, but ideas can. They can change, change or be misunderstood along the way, but ideas remain long after the people who had them are gone. That’s a central theme in the new film. kingdom of the planet of the apes, especially when it comes to the franchise’s most important character, Caesar.
Why are astronauts’ suits white?
Kingdom of the ape planets is primarily set hundreds of years after the events of the previous apes movie, War for the Planet of the Apes. In that , the first intelligent and leading ape Caesar dies after helping his tribe escape to a new home. The apes as they are would not exist without Caesar, but in Kingdom,most don’t even know who Caesar was. It was this idea that ideas and beliefs are transmitted through generations that was crucial for the film’s director.
“That was an interesting idea because of the time jump.” Kingdom Director Wes Ball told io9. “In our own human history, we have lost a lot of knowledge. We make these great discoveries,” and then we lose it and someone rediscovers it. I love the idea that there was a dark age after Caesar died and many things were lost. And how it can be divided. There’s even a deleted scene somewhere that had to be cut to save time, unfortunately, but we talked a little bit about that, the separation that happened.”
The division that Ball speaks of is embodied in two characters in the film. There’s Raka, an orangutan who tries to keep Caesar’s original and intended Word alive. Then there’s Proxima Caesar, a cruel ruler who weaponizes Caesar’s ideas for her own benefit. They both preach Caesar’s word and legacy, but one does it as he intended and the other does not. So, between both of them, it is the main character, Noa.
“Noa, this fresh, blank page that begins this adventure of self-discovery and discovery of the world around you, you will be influenced by these two ideas,” Ball said. “This is going to shape him in the future. becoming is due to the father figures that come and go in his life in this film, including his interactions with the humans themselves. “It just seemed like the right idea to play with ideas and the concept of truth and how fragile it is.”
Which side will Noah fall on? And how will that affect what happens in the future? You’ll find out this week, when kingdom of the planet of the apes is released in theaters.
