Ape Not Kill Ape (aka There’s Nothing Wiser Than Nature) — 2 Comments

  1. I was just going to see this movie last weekend, but I saw something else instead. Maybe I should see it tonight. The reason I didn’t go was that my wife and I had a marathon viewing of the original series. We wanted to see that before going to the latest one.

    There is a lot of killing going on, isn’t there? There’s always some war and people doing bad things to each other, but I see the world as getting progressively better. Each day brings progress. On a side note, Ape shall not kill Ape didn’t bring Apes peace in the original series. In the final movie one did kill another suggesting that the cycle of violence from man would continue. It’s a really downbeat original series. But who knows where this new series will take it.

    • You should go and watch it, especially if you are a fan of the original films (I am too) – I think it;s pretty interesting.

      Note: I didn’t say that no apes get killed by apes, just that this was their rule and it helped them survive and thrive. This doesn’t mean that they followed it 100% – now I’m giving the impression that they didn’t. Maybe they did. You’ll have to go and see the film to find out.

      The point is the principle. I didn’t want to go much further than that because there are some twists in the film which would warrant further expanation and my article wasn’t really about the film – just about the principle, well more specifically about the principle that we’re stronger together, we’re stronger (and achieve more in life and in business) when we help each other.

      In fact more than that, as you spotted, for once I wanted to go beyond ‘life and business’ and put in a little plea for some humanity (a little political, I know and I usually avoid that) – simply because I’m afraid I see a lot of hypocrisy and corruption and a big hole at the moment where humanity should be – notably from our so-called leaders.

      I’m glad you see the world as getting progressively better, and I really, really hope you’re right, but at the moment I’m struggling to agree with you on that point which really pains me to say as usually I am an optimist, but the troubles in the world at the moment have me at a loss – in Gaza, Syria, Ukraine – they don’t make any sense.

      In any case, I do hope you’re right. I really do.
