This is an analysis, commentary, and critique of the “Planet of the Apes” saga, with major focus on the 2011 film, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. The author examines the film from the perspective of an extended and continuing, overarching theme characterizing earlier films of the same: “Planet of the Apes” (1963), and “Planet of the Apes” (2001). The issue of freedom and anthropocentric values defining things human are examined in the face of what emerges as a merger or transformation of this “humanity” to, and with apes, and thus, the creation of what the author describes as “Apeity” in the film. The author examines what can be viewed as a bi-directional “violation” of both Humanity and “Apeity” and describes this “violation” in terms of its meaning to the concept of Humanity using various characters from these films and explores the “apish” and “human” values and behaviors inherent in concepts of culture – social psychological and sociological. The author evokes themes of anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism in exploration of values, freedom, identity, and conflicts as depicted in the ape saga. The author briefly examines the continuation of the social humanism and conflicts in the 2014 film “The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” into the third presentation, “War of the Planet of the Apes” (2017). These ideas are presented in relation to ideals of femininity and masculinity, individualism and collectivism relative to definition of Humanity. Finally, the author reconciles this treatment of the film with concurrent practices regarding human values and treatment of non-human creatures and the ideas of human fate and future.
