Description:

In 1973, in the epic of life on the planet apes had come to an end . Five years, the idea of ​​Pierre Boulle inspired filmmakers to create great movies – a very different , very different from the original novel and the movie , but still very interesting and topical .

The last film put J. Lee Thompson (Death Wish 4: The Crackdown), director of the 4th episode stories about the ” Conquest of the Planet of the Apes “, so all the advantages and disadvantages of directing Thompson to fully crossed and a fifth of that , on the one hand it is very good because it looks a lot integral to the previous one, corresponds exactly to the stylistic and ideological decisions , and worthy of an epic ends , but on the other hand, each new ” planet of the Apes ” was not like the previous , was carrying some kind of innovation is consistent with a variety of topics , Thompson has created a direct sequel to his film, practically touching the first three parts.

The drawbacks of the movie is not much, and they are all the same : complete rubbish to the chronology that jumps in time , without regard for age of heroes and basic historical sequence . All completely entangled with humans and apes , and there are a number of “why” it is a particular kind, to which the film does not give an answer . After the ” Conquest of Planet of the Apes ,” according to the story, takes place not so much time , but the world is out of himself, according to the director , solid ruins, people almost gone , like the cities and technology and other things , radiation destroyed almost everything, and a couple of kilometers from the city of radioactive developing a new ” civilization of the Apes” , leading people in half with a sort of subsistence farming . The second drawback is also characteristic of the director’s handwriting : an attempt of a philosophical drama to make something very dynamic, similar to the military action . Relying on a small budget , a small number of actors and modest artistic media , Thompson attempts to portray the ” Battle for the Planet of the Apes” , but the expected effect does not occur. The conflict looks ridiculously local , more like a street fight .

But , aside from these two drawbacks , it remains a lot of advantages that make a good picture . At this time, the ideological basis for the film served as the age-old struggle of democratic and authoritarian military forces. In general, managed to accurately show how and why the military junta ( here represented stupid and evil gorillas , all decisive force ) can seize power in the country . Democracy, say the authors of the film – is extremely weak and unstable, that today seems democracy is shaky and short-lived. Podhlestni it, or it will turn into anarchy , or will be any general who finds ” red “, that is, some of the main external enemy against which temporarily unite the people .
