Planet of the Apes


If you have further comments about the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, which we watched in class the first week of April, post them here. If you were intrigued by the film, you might consider watching one of the 4 sequels, or the 2001 remake, and comment here.

While watching planet of the Apes the planet they were on seemed very familiar. At first I thought it was just because that is where they filmed it but as the movie progressed to the end I was in shock that they were on Earth 2000 years later. I also felt like the movie could have gone further when he saw the Statue of Liberty. I also noticed that the Apes spoke common English and that he could actually talk to them. Although this was a problem of film production in which the viewer would not be able to understand the movie if the apes spoke a different language.
