“Itu0026#39;s especially interesting that u0026quot;Planet of the Apesu0026quot; was released a few months before u0026quot;2001: A Space Odysseyu0026quot;, as they both look at the same question: what will become of humanity (and how did we originate)? Obviously, the really famous line is Charlton Hestonu0026#39;s snap at his captors, and the really famous scene is the end – which I wonu0026#39;t tell here for fear of spoiling the whole movie. And what an impressive movie it is! Unfortunately, I canu0026#39;t say the same for Tim Burtonu0026#39;s remake. u0026quot;POTAu0026quot; should never have been remade. So, for a cinematic treat, stick to this one and avoid the remake.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne more thing is that some people have pointed out that the portrayals of the simians were kinda racist. The blond, cultured orangutans are the nobles; the dark-haired, mildly nervous chimpanzees are the scientists; and the dark-skinned, incompetent gorillas are the police. Oh well. Itu0026#39;s still a good movie.”
