1713 Words7 Pages

“Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport, or lust or greed.” Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the planet of the Apes, and War of the Planet of the Apes are movies that were filmed by Rupert Wyatt and Matt Reeves in the years between 2011-2017. These movies tell the story of a male chimpanzee named Caesar who finds himself protecting those who he cares about no matter what the cost is. This apes world revolves around intelligence, human beings and family that guides Caesar to becoming a fearless leader. We see Ceaser experiment this realm in the hopes of freeing the apes from oppression later on. In the trilogy there are many examples of religion and some of racism.

In this movie Ceaser takes on a role of being all knowing like Jesus was.For example, Jesus compromised his comfort zone to come down and save us due to unconditional love. In the movie Ceaser compromises to let the humans work on the project to restore power to the city as long as they give up all guns and stay in the part of the forest they are told. A biblical reference is John 3:16 stating how God comprised his son for the love he has for us. Bergant once stated, “God has been creating order out of chaos and continues to do so even to today.” This relates to the movie because as we see Caesar take the role of Jesus he helps the apes out of conflicts they get mixed up in. Looking further into how Koba plays the role of a Devil, one sees that he lied to the apes. For example he decided to tell the apes it was the humans who burned their home along with killing Koba. The reality was he actually planned all this in advance to convince the apes of the story. Another way he plays this role is by not letting anyone escape from the sanctuary. He wanted everyone trapped or killed. The Devil is the same way he wants everyone on earth to be trapped in his ways. He wants to gain every soul he can. Another bible verse is John 8:44 stating how the Devil is full of lies and evil schemes, which clearly shows how koba was …show more content…

The first one is on betrayal. We see a new ape come in who ceaser trust but later turns his back on him. In Matthew 26:15 we see the same thing happen, one of Jesus’ disciples will betray him. In the movie Winter betrays Caesar and his family hideout spot, for protection from the human beings.At this time the Colonel would do anything for information on Ceasers hidings. In the bible Judas betrays Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. The same thing happened with the chief priests and elders they would pay any amount for an insider to tell them where to find Jesus. In this part of the movie we see the ape Caesar reflect Jesus on how he was betrayed by a

To put it in other words, Lion is a journey that grabs you entirely; whether you want it or not, and you are involved in each and every scene.

    In “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar”, Caesar’s main flaw is his arrogance and ambition, which both led to his doom. His overconfidence and self-love blinded him of the sharp thorns growing from his sides which were masked with loyalty and care. Viciously assassinated by the closest people in his heart, Julius Caesar had been known for centuries as the blind conceited man. On the other hand, loyalty conflicted Brutus, who is argued to be the protagonist of the tragedy. Although he was loyal to Caesar, he was loyal to his nation too and thought that the death of Caesar would be for the best for the nation.
