CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Taylor (Charlton Heston) tries to speak in front of Zira (Kim Hunter) and Dr. Zaius (Maurice Evans).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Originally intended as a project for Blake Edwards, the film version of Pierre Boule's semisatiric sci-fi novel came to the screen in 1968 under the directorial guidance of Franklin J. Schaffner. Charlton Heston is George Taylor, one of several astronauts on a long, long space mission whose spaceship crash-lands on a remote planet, seemingly devoid of intelligent life. Soon the astronaut learns that this planet is ruled by a race of talking, thinking, reasoning apes who hold court over a complex, multilayered civilization. In this topsy-turvy society, the human beings are grunting, inarticulate primates, penned-up like animals. When ape leader Dr. Zaius (Maurice Evans) discovers that the captive Taylor has the power of speech, he reacts in horror and insists that the astronaut be killed. But sympathetic ape scientists Cornelius (Roddy McDowell) and Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter) risk their lives to protect Taylor -- and to discover the secret of their planet's history that Dr. Zaius and his minions guard so jealously. In the end, it is Taylor who stumbles on the truth about the Planet of the Apes: "Damn you! Damn you! Goddamn you all to hell!" Scripted by Rod Serling and Michael Wilson (a former blacklistee who previously adapted another Pierre Boule novel, Bridge on the River Kwai), Planet of the Apes has gone on to be an all-time sci-fi (and/or camp) classic. It won a special Academy Award for John Chambers's convincing (and, from all accounts, excruciatingly uncomfortable) simian makeup. It spawned four successful sequels, as well as two TV series, one live-action and one animated.

I wonder if the apes have nursery rhymes like "Five little humans jumping on the bed" or games like "Barrel of Humans." Do they use human wrenches to tighten or loosen pipes?

[alanchamberlain]

Dr Zira had an amazing actress. Her voice was so good, and she was a great character.

[matthewjackson]

"Alright, but you're so damned ugly." classic line😂

When I was a kid I loved this movie so much I recorded it on audio cassette, which was the only way a regular person could record something on TV at that time. I would just lay there on the floor next to the boombox, listening to the sounds, music and dialogue of Planet of the Apes, the recording filling up my young mind with all the scenes of the film.

Imagine how much it would suck for him if they spoke japanese or something instead of english.

[coleturner]

When he's gesturing for the notepad and pencil, why not point and then make a writing motion, and maybe point to himself, rather than gesture her to come closer then grab her? Why did he think that would show he was intelligent and not a savage?

[dabunnyrabbit]

One of the best movies ever made.
It shows so much about us.

“He did not grunt. He articulated. He spoke a word which had been spoken to him time without number by humans. He said ‘No’.

[urdnotstark]

Honestly, besides the occasional non-matching of the lip movement, the make does hold up very well.

[matthalbmaier]

I love the movie but man it was depressing

[johno]

During breaks in filming, the ape makeup couldn't be removed. It is interesting to note that the chimps naturally hung out with other chimps during breaks, the gorillas naturally hung out with other gorillas, and the orangutans naturally hung out with other orangutans.

[Royed]

You would think he would just POINT to the paper and pen instead of grasping at it. Especially if they're talking about how these humans are animalistic.
Probably the dumbest astronaut on that mission.

1:25 you can see the apes preforming a lobotomy on a human in the background.

[coachrd]

Just watched Kingdom. Imagine this story with today's acting and visual.

[shannonm]

I like what he said when how got his voice back.

I saw the reboot series before watching the original (despite hearing about THIS movie my whole life), and finally watching this recently, I cannot help but notice countless similarities between the original film and the three films of the reboot series. Not only does the name "Bright Eyes, " given to Taylor, is the same name as Caesar's mother in "Rise, " but this human zoo does remind me strongly of the primate shelter in "Rise, " complete with the sadistic guard. Not to mention how the apes were crucified in dawn in "War" in their 'X' shapes looks almost the same as the 'scare-human' structures seen earlier in this film.

Obviously, the writers and directors behind the reboot series truly loved this classic.

[Logan-pywe]

One of the best sci fi movies of all time

[meropale]

I didn't learn until today that it's Kim Hunter who also played Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire. I remember when I was a kid thinking the Planet of the Apes movies looked really cheesy. Then I watched the first one and was blown away. I consider that it has my favorite twist ending.

[SquidkidMega]

the Gorilla sounds like a new york cab driver from the 70s

[theshockerpit]

Just imagine someone who knows sign language just starts making signs to the apes
