The Planet of the Apes reboots are what all reboots should aspire to be. It was probably a hard sell to create completely new characters for this one, but Caesar is honestly one of the only truly iconic characters that has been created post 2010.
Not reboots but prequel
Here's hopin' Kingdom continues the tradition
Caesar is a fantastic character and we also have to hand it to the character of Koba. Won't spoil people who haven't watched Dawn but if you know, you know.
@@peteshively5552Not a prequel because it doesn't align with the original story's lore
Caesar was a character in the original series too!
The scene with the police dog has even deeper meaning. You see Caesar briefly touch the collar on his neck after recognizing the same thing around the dog's neck. This is a subtle but huge moment for Caesar's character development. His response isn't just annoyance/threat, it's an outburst at realizing the humans see him as a pet/beast to be tamed regardless how much Caesar views humans as his family. He's essentially looking in a grotesque mirror and is angry at what he sees. It's the first instance where Caesar comprehends the divide between how he wants to be treated, and how humans will be willing to treat him.
Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw it first
I wonder if things would have been different if they had just gotten him one of those child “leashes” that resembles a backpack. He would have been smart enough to know that it’s still a leash, but at least it would have been less…dehumanizing, I guess.
Yeah,... BUT WHAT ABOUT BOOMER!!!!
I was surprised that wasn't mentioned in the video. In the car scene after this I believe Caesar asks if he's a pet, which is a clear connection he made after recognizing that both he and the dog have collars & leashes.
It's even deeper than that. It is the first time Caesar wonders what he is. He isn't human. So he asks if he's a pet. Is he like a dog? And he gets told no. It brings him some relief, but then he wonders what he is. When he meets other apes, he realizes he isn't an ape either. He's alone.
Then he finds Maurice. An ape who's extremely intelligent. More so than any ape alive today. The bridge to ape and whatever Caesar is. Caesar wants to find his kind and feel like an equal. Then he gets the idea of making every ape just like him
That first, *"NO!"* will forever be in my head, rent free.
Always sends shivers down my spine
I so distinctly remember that moment. I forgot I was watching a movie for a second and felt something like actual awe and fear that an ape was speaking.
@dubblebubbletoilandtrouble6646 The slight roar/distortion of the human voice is the detail that just *sent* it home for me. Abstract Vocal language is a distinctly human, and to hear it from an ape? It was truly a paradigm shifting moment.
*Buck face*
@@damianallen4964 Yeah, just human enough to be uncannily similar, but with enough "Ape" in the undertones to remind you that Ceasar is NOT a human in the slightest.
The window symbol making it's way into all three films and Kingdom is phenomenal.
It was in War? I must have missed it.
I'm looking forward to seeing what role that symbol will play, if apes will respect what that symbol represents or use it for their own personal gain for power.
Caesar saying "NO" was such a wild moment to experience in theaters. PIn-drop silence except for actual gasps from some of the audience in the showing I was at. Perfect line choice, too. Caesar's first word is a response rather than an imitation, means he understands what is being said in addition to being able to form words. And it's a 'simple' sound that we can hear his vocal cords and diaphragm try to force out. Immediately clear that this is an important moment in the course of world events that'll reverberate down for generations as part of his myth.
Yes -- This! All my thoughts exactly.
“On a historic day, there came Caesar. He did not grunt. He articulated. He spoke a word spoken to him countless times by humans. He said…No.”
It was Aldo, not Caesar. But yeah, that’s where the writers got the idea of Caesar’s first word.
@@josephrusso4828 i know, but it applies well to this Caesar too. Otherwise I would’ve done it word for word
@@josephrusso4828they retroactively made it Caesar instead of Aldo
Fun Fact: Caesar's speaking voice was produced by sound designer Chuck Michael, who mixed the sounds of fully grown male chimps' vocalizations recorded at Chimp Haven with Andy Serkis's voice.
The most upsetting thing to me is with all the LOTR movies and PotA movies, Andy..... some how hasn't won an Oscar yet. The man DESERVES ones for these performances and he should be THE first to ever win with motion capture.
I second, third, forth, fifth, sixth and seventh that.....
Andy Serkis is always a win....
❤
As far as I'm concerned, he already have at least one: Best Collaborative Performance for Return of the King.
@@atharvadeshpande3090I 8th 9th and 10th as well
This is the type of comment I was looking for!! Andy is such an underrated but talented actor in absolutely everything he's in. Not to say all of the movies he's in are great, but his performance is always on point. He was by far the most interesting character in Black Panther.
Andy's performance is good, but it wouldn't be what it is without an army of animators behind the scenes.
Ceaser's "No!" in this film, to me, is among the greatest moments in modern cinema. That word, that delivery, and everything leading up to it created a moment of perfection that is really the defining moment of the entire series--not even to mention the greater context it has within the entirety of the Planet of the Apes films. Moments like that make me feel lucky that I'm able to bare witness to them. This is what film is all about.
Yes, all my sentiments exactly!
And spare a moment for the cinematography, too- the draw in and pan up following Caesar who stands tall and, literally in that moment, lifts himself out of Apehood and into Sapience? Visual backing of a singular moment that cannot be understated. even more so than "Caesar is home" this moment is what the movie, and the series, is all about.
@@Fallenfaefolk hear, hear!
What I love about the "No" scene is a line in one of the original sequels, when Cornelius is telling the history of apes, he mentions that moment with almost mythical veneration. "He said.... No"
One thing I like about this reboot trilogy is it gives a fairly good reason why humans would end up losing control of the earth to Apes. I mean a virus that affects pretty much everyone would decimate (with that same virus/drug giving the apes a leg up). I would say that would definitely change the odds
I mean.. duh? Lol
The Simian Flu killed 99% of all humans after Rise. Only 1% was left. Still around 3 million people left alive in America and 80 million world wide. However, Humans still could defeat Caesar and all the apes after which since it's very clear that most apes don't speak. It takes a great deal of effort. Of which most apes just refuse to do which would be their downfall
@@snakevenom4954 I still think the trilogy justified how earth became the “planet of the apes” better then the original trilogy where it was mostly off screen explained as “unity” (albeit I realized humans in that trilogy breed the apes to be basically everywhere aka “humans created the weapons that destroyed them”)
@@snakevenom4954
The disease had a 1 in 500 survival rate, killing 99.8% of humanity, leaving an absolute maximum of 14 million humans that survived the initial outbreak. Most of those survivors either died out, hid underground, or succumbed to the evolved flu. The simian ability to speak is irrelevant. The intelligence of all apes was significantly increased, kickstarting their evolution and giving them an edge on the human race.
I’m curious how there’s still humans alive for the new one
Fun fact! The police officer in "Rise" is played by the same actor as Red Donkey from "War".
Which officer?
The one in the helicopter, trying to kill Ceaser but Buck risked his life to save him
Poetic, killed by a gorilla, die as a gorilla
I still remember watching this in theaters and when Caesar stands and says "No!", _EVERYONE_ in the theater was dead silent. Up until then, I think we'd all kind of forgotten what this movie really was but when Caesar speaks, man and ape listen! Such a chilling moment, one of my best movie watching memories ever!
Geniunely one of the best trilogies ever, imo. Rise is excellent, Dawn is a masterpiece and one of the best sequels ever made, and War is incredible too. They mean so much to me, and they're the reason I'm gonna rush to theaters to see any Matt Reeves film (or show) forever
That's why it's so hard to pick a favorite for me. It's all one great story. I hope Kingdom can keep that momentum going.
I hope people don't judge it to harshly just because it has different writers/actors. Granted two of the writers helped on the reboot trilogy so I have decent faith. I think allowing it to be its own new trilogy instead of trying to reach the same highs are the previous one might help it.@@justinpullen1097
What I love about the "NO!" scene is that it catches you by surprise the first time you see it. Even fans of the original series probably didn't expect any apes to talk in this one. You're chuckling or eye rolling at the callback line then it's "Holy crap he talked!"
That final Koba interaction and how Dawn goes is even more painful with the context of the Firestorm book. By the end of that we've seen all of Koba's past and what he's suffered through and he becomes fanatically devoted to Caesar, even when he doubts him he acts for his leader. Come Dawn and that sentiment is what leads him to find out things he really shouldn't have.
Also, I really hope you watch Dawn with the sign language subtitles on first time, since you mentioned having watched the this one without for a while, otherwise you are missing about half of the dialogue.
At 4:50, im surprised he didn't give a win for the Lord of the Ring reference. Ceasar bites off the same finger as Gollum bites off Frodo in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
No fingers are safe around Andy Serkis!
9:19 This was the only time in a movie theatre where everyone was completely silent. Entire roudy audience that laughed & made too much noise at certain scenes was shut up. All cause no one expected the ape to talk.
Caesar is easily one of my favorite fictional characters, and I think seeing him in these movies cemented Andy Serkis as one of my favorite actors.
The yelling of that first nnnooooo is one of my favourite moments in all film, that deathly silence that follows is such an epic moment
"He spoke a word spoken to him time without number, He, Said, No!"-Cornelius 1968
I really loved that moment between Will and Caesar and like you said he's not the Ape Bro he remembers and I love that Will was one of the only people to really see Caesar and treat him as another being with intelligence.
I remember when I saw this movie in the theater. You can always hear people, shifting in their seats, moving their legs, eating popcorn etc but when Cesar spoke for the first time, it went all quiet and everyone just held their breaths. It was awesome.
9:19 one of my most favourite in cinema experiences. You could hear a pin drop after Caesar first shouted no. Still gives me chills.
I was just watching Escape from the Planet of the Apes clips about the Ape that said "No" when this came out. Excellent timing
Caesar's first word is without question the best scene in the movie, and maybe even the whole series. So much emotion and FEELING packed into a single word. No, he won't take his paw off him. No, he won't let himself or his fellows be abused like _animals_ anymore. No, he _refuses_ to go back to living under humanity, knowing he'd never be accepted no matter how much he tries. No, he won't stay in the place that beats him down and derides him for trying to protect his family.
And _NO,_ he _will not stop_ until he can be sure he and his people have a place in the world that isn't under the foot of the human race. That single, first word is Caesar's utter release of EVERYTHING he's had building up in him for his entire life. Every frustration, every anger at how the humans treat him and each other that he couldn't describe in sign, finally vocalized in one great NO. God, I fucking love this movie. Andy Serkis needs some kind of award for this.
Yes to all of this!
The writers said that the entire movie was built around that one moment - everything that came before led up to it, and everything that came after showed the ripple effect and consequences of this one word spoken by this one animal, whose impact would be felt for centuries afterwards.
I love how Ceaser has been learning to walk upright for so long he basically has a power stance on top of the trolley/cable car.
YES I LOVE THIS TRILOGY
Caesar's first word was one of the greatest theater moments ever, for me. Time just completely stood still for a moment, and the silence felt far longer than it was. I didn't have an experience that equaled or topped that moment until Sam said "On your left" back to Steve in Avengers Endgame. But that line had almost a decade of build up to it, while this one stood on just its own one movie (for me, as I hadn't seen any of the originals, though I know the general story). Also, that had the benefit of Chris Evans' body language and Sam Wilson's charismatic voice, and further years of movie development. Here... I hate to say it, but I feel like people underrate voice and motion capture actors (Andy Serkis), and actors who started young (Tom Felton). Serkis' incredible performance really was something special.
Genuinely one of my favorite trilogies ever. Each movie is great, and the next one builds from the previous one. Also, Caesar is one of the best heroes ever put to screen. Noble and complex
Monarch! Let’s gooo! I was hoping for more monsters in that series, but I think it’s still pretty good in setting up the lore and still a fun watch
One of the most underrated trilogies of all time.
This trilogy (soon to be joined by a fourth) are perfect examples that I use to justify my advocacy for remakes and reboots in general. Absolutely fantastic from beginning to end, with great characters, action, story, and evolution from instalment to instalment.
Very solid argument for one of the best trilogies ever.
The NOOOOOOOO Moment is what got me in The Planet of The Apes Trilogy 🤩
Can't wait for you to make your "Everything great about Godzila X Kong: The new empire" video!
4:52 one of the things I love about Caesar lossing it was because his animal instincts kicked in. Pointing is a sign of a challenge to apes.
Crazy how the apes look so realistic, especially in the beginning.
I've been waiting sooooo long for this movie, finally!!!
This movie was such a brilliant twist on the franchise: how the first movies showed us apes evolving from man, but Rise showing us apes evolving BECAUSE of man. It's such a solid start to the reboot and I love it!
The "Apepocalypse" pun at 13:20 got a belly laugh. Well played sir.
15:58 I know what next week's EGA video(s) are going to be & I'm looking forward to it. Here's a list of suggestions to consider for future EGA videos:
-The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
-Star Wars: Clone Wars (2008 Film)
-Crazy, Rich Asians (2018)
-Batman vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019)
-James & the Giant Peach (1996)
-Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
-Matilda (1996)
-A Bug's Life (1998)
-Paulie (1998)
-Pokémon the First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back (1998)
This movie was truly ahead of its time. The shot of Ceasar on the railcar with all his Lieutenants/friends is as iconic as they come. Yeah there are callbacks but this movie is far more concerned with moving forward which I love
I really love these new films, and that's coming as someone who was (and is) a big fan of the OG ones. Really looking forward to Kingdom!
i’ve never been this early but i’m SAT for the planet of the apes franchise
This series of films are way better than this franchise deserves.
Looking forward to the new one ^_^
Honestly, Rise is the only film in this entire series that the average person can watch with zero context or explanation.
The rest of the Ape movies are either sequels to another film, or are just so weird and detached from reality that the average person can’t get into it.
Even then, you have people who like Rise, those who hate it, and those who think it’s just ok.
Andy Serkis acting was truly great in this whole trilogy as much as was in Lord of the Ring series. Motion captured or not he can be explained nothing more than but ‘Outstanding’!!
Yes one of the Best Trilogy’s! Let’s do this!!!
Thanks! I still have those suggestions for the coming months or whenever you can:
1. Request #30 for Jurassic Park 2 (1997) and 3 (2001).
2. Request #19 for Shrek (2001)
3. Request #20 for Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
I also understand how you might be busy with these Planet of the Apes films, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and possibly Oppenheimer. But still take your time. Love you, CinemaWins!!!
He already said he'd do Jurassic Park 2 & 3
@@Nemisionn That was last year when he did Dominion.
@@patrickspencer6550 yep
Serkis just doesn't miss, from Gollum to Lumpy to Kong to Ceasar to Kino Loy the man knows how to deliver a performance.
i love the camera work so much in the NOOOO scene. The camera moves to a lower angle to show the shift in power. So good
You have no idea how long I've waited for you to cover this awesome trilogy! Can't wait for the next two!!!
Genuinely one of the rare perfect sagas right up there with the LOTR trilogy.
I really hope you do them all because they’re so good and pretty underrated for some reason… I mean, I get it… apes.. whatever. But they found a way to make ape movies genuinely touching, interesting, fun and seriously well made! I know why people might overlook them, but it sucks that they do because movies of this quality are getting more and more rare. Something high budget, amazing effects, great story and acting while being consistent in quality for all of them… that’s a damn small group!
I’d say there are only a handful of trilogies or series that can make those claims.
PotApes, LotRings, and maybe the Dark Knight Trilogy, but that’s it. Raimi Spider-Man is close, but three holds it back, and that’s the thing… there just aren’t many trilogies or more that are consistently great and high quality all the way through with no major weak link..
All the side character apes are what makes these movies so amazing for me. I’m just as invested in them as I am with Caesar. Watching them die (usually thought sacrifice) hits so hard
ooooh you're doing monarch legacy of monsters!!! can't wait for that!
Not sure if ive said this enough, but thank you Lee, for all your positivity and love for movies. The internet is a goddamn cruel and brutal place, but your positivity makes it brighter. (sorry for the sappyness).
Cant WAIT for Dawn and War
Do you think you could do "John Carter" and Disney's "Lone Ranger"? Both movies are actually very good with awesome effects and good stories, but were murdered by Disney failing to promote them well. I'd love to see your opinion!!
Also, JP3 when?
Ah yes, John Carter! I'd love an "Everything Great About John Carter" video.🙂👍🏻
Wasn't Toby Kebbell, Kong, in Skull Island? That's why his human character was killed off cause he couldn't pull double duty with the mocap? Also Toby Kebbell plays Koba in Dawn and War
You are correct!
@@madisonwhovian943
I believe terry notary also played an uncredited role. Kebbel did the facial expressions and notary did the body movements.
This trilogy is a masterpice and Rise was a amazing first chapter to the saga of Caesar.
God, this movie and its following sequels kick SO MUCH ASS!
This one is easily one of my favorite films, period.
That NO has to be my favorite line of all time and i have watched close to 1000 movies now. its so simple and it makes me get the shivers on steroids every time. there are contenders but come on. the inciting word for a revolution and then later used n defense of both sides is just too good.
maby i have something for NO's as kratos uses it and goes to the same outcome. but his no has 6 games worth of build up to a calm and collected rational and coherent conversation with a man who wants him and his family nothing good. THE growth is what makes his no stand out but ceesar takes the cake with his voice acting, god i love randy
Life it never dies, Caesar is my favorite guy
I remember seeing this movie in theaters as a 14 year old. I couldn’t sleep that night. I don’t know if I was scared, or just had a lot to process, or what.
But the trilogy is flawless. One of the best ever. But I feel like it’s also underrated. You don’t hear about it as much as like LOTR or Star Wars or Pirates of the Caribbean. But it’s amazing. Everything is so well done.
I'm honestly so glad that this channel exists❤ Cause not only do we get to appreciate things just because is way nicer to do so, we ALSO get reminded of the existence of such great movies! This was a childhood favorite of mine, get me the feels every time I watch aaand I wanna watch it again like RIGHT NOW!!! Thank u for the video ❤
God I love it when Caesar says "NO!!!" it's the best.
I think Caesar tells the orangutans to go under the bridge bc unlike other apes they use below branch locomotion (swinging through trees rather than climbing them) so they’re the ones that actually able to move under the bridge.
apparently the iconic window drawing scene wasn't in the original script, it was added after someone else came on board, and now it's THE iconic symbol for the franchise
I can't wait for your coverage on the rest of these movies, especially with the new one announced
I recently watched all the ape movies and thats hiw I found out there's a new one coming out. I'm so excited that you're watching them too
Ive been waiting for you to cover this trilogy FOREVER!! Thank you for finally doing it ^^
Yessss, you finally made this video, I was waiting for this for so long
EVERY TIME I WATCH A MOVIE, YOU SOMEHOW MAKE A REVIEW ABOUT IT A DAY AFTER; STOP STALKING ME
Ive been waiting for this one for like 5 years. THANK YOU LEE.
Finallyyyyyyyy!!!! I've been waiting for this for ages...also it should just be one frame saying "everything" lol
the Mocap on Hatsune Miku is really impressive, especially when she's interacting with Caesar.
I'm afraid I've missed the joke, would you be so kind as to explain it to me?
Kong from Skull Island was played by Toby Kebbell, who plays Koba in Dawn. Terry Notary is a movement specialist, who plays both Rocket and Bright Eyes, but not Kong.
Both kebbel and notary played kong. As far as I know, one man did the facial expressions and the other did the body movements.
@@josephrusso4828 Huh. I just looked it up, and it seems like you're right. Although Kebbell still did lots of the motion work for Kong too
Great video, my brother and I recently watched this one and we loved it, We’re excited to watch the rest of the series to prepare for the upcoming one 😁
This is my favorite film series ever so happy you're finally doing it
Can’t wait for the rest of the series!! ❤
love it! hope you make videos about the whole series!
The OG never interested me, but this trilogy, and the upcoming beginning of a new era, WOW I LOVE IT
Yeah, this is the only Apes film that the average person can watch and understand, without any explanation.
The other movies are either sequels without context, or, as is the case with the original story, so bizarre and detached from reality that the average person just isn’t interested.
I have also apparently never seen this with subtitles, because the fact that he's yelling English on the Golden Gate Bridge was news to me. Such a cool touch.
10:15 that shot isnt brought up enough. so simple yet soo good
7:23 Stargate Atlantis fans were not surprised in the least at this point when it turns out that the end of the world started with Rodney McKay.
Thank you for your positivity and sharing your love of movies! 🐵
i JUST finished this movie lol. great timing.
4:52 Surprised you didn't make a Gollum reference there!
I am SO excited for Kingdom!
10:39 my thoughts immediately went to one of Caesars coldest quotes "i came, i saw, i conquered"
Ever since i watched the trailer for the new one, my feed is full of POTA related stuff i love it
I am so glad you are getting into the reboot of this trilogy, knowing back when this first came out of how sceptical people were and blew away expectations.
While trying to come up with a cold-open, I realized maybe this would just catch your attention. The past tense of my words streaming in your mind as an unknown voice whilst my past, is right now your future, at this point, and then your present as you read this.
Enough fooling around. Your work is fantastic! I enjoy and admire how you constantly bring your own views and personal life EXP into your videos. Mad love…Keep it going…GG!!
*But, why no 80’s movies? As far as I can tell, we’re roughly the same age, late ‘83 here. I know you have to build a content library that is relative to a majority, but I had to ask. You speak to OUR generation and motive so fluid and efficiently. Cheers to maybe some nostalgia creeping into your vids…but I understand if they don’t.*
The Thing (1982) or Predator would be, IMO, incredible additions to your vault.
Most of all, thank you for sacrificing your time to bring us your insight.
His dad being able to play the piano again might also be a nod the Simpsons musical number of Planet Of The Apes:
Troy: Can I play the piano anymore?
Dr. Zaius: Of course you can.
Troy: Well, I couldn't before!
DR ZAIUS DR ZAIUS
OOH DR ZAIUS
“I hate every ape I see! From chimpan-A to chimpanzee! No, you’ll never make a monkey out of me!”
Exited for next week because it gives me a reason to watch that show lol
Ohhh how i have waited for this
About time you do this trilogy, love it
This is my favorite of all of the PLANET OF THE APES movies! 🦧 All hail writers Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Pierre Boulle... and director Rupert Wyatt. 🦍
Appreciate you Lee!🙌🏼
I’m really hoping to see you do Transformers: Rise of the Beasts next, I saw a lot of awesome little details while watching the movie and I wouldn’t be surprised if you noticed more details than I did!
Loved the original movies...never forgot the end of Planet with the Statue reveal. Watched it many times since, still get goosebumps. These remakes...love them too
