Planet of the Apes (2001, Tim Burton)
31/03/2024
Planet of the Apes is a 2001 film directed by Tim Burton.
It is a remake of the 1968 film of the same name, based on the novel Planet of the Apes (La Planète des singes) di Pierre Boulle.
In the year 2029, the daring astrounat Leo Davidson works in the Oberon space base in close contact with primates trained to carry out space missions; His favorite is Pericles, a chimpanzee. Once inside, Leo loses all contact with the Oberon and ends up crash-landing in the swamp of the alien planet of Ashlar, in the year 5021.
Leo will soon discover that this planet is populated by talking, evolved anthropomorphic apes who treat humans like slaves. The astrounat, captured by the apes, is later bought by a human trader named Limbo, a greedy and inept orangutan.
Due to a series of circumstances Leo manges to escape from prison and frees other humans and slaves, including the gorilla ex-soldier Krull, whose military career was destroyed by the evil general Thade, a chimpanzee, who manages the hunt to humans since the death of his father Zaius and is assisted by the ferocious gorilla Colonel Attar. The destination of the escape is "Calima", a sacred place for the monkeys, the temple of their god Seamus: according to their religion, in that place the god gave rise to the life of the monkeys.
In the finale, Leo reaches Earth in what he believes is his time, crashing near Washington. Walking inside the Lincoln Memorial, Leo is horrified to discover that the giant statue of the president possesses the face of General Thade.
The film came to light after a very intense development hell: ideas for a remake of Planet of the Apes date back to the 1980s, when Adam Rifkin was brought to 20th Century Fox studios with the desire to make a new film about apes. His film was to be called Return to the Planet of the Apes and described apes in Greco-Roman customs and habits fighting against a society of intelligent humans, the lineage of the protagonists of the 1968 classic, inspired by films such as Spartacus.
Peter Jackson later wanted to adapt a similar project in which the ape society was modeled after Renaissance culture and Roddy McDowall, the actor who had played Cornelius and Caesar in the original films, was open to the idea of having a part in the role of a monkey with an appearance inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. Jackson, however, dedicated himself to the creation of heavenly Creatures and only decided to resume the project in 1998, only to abandon it again when McDowall's death took away his enthusiasm.

In order to put down a human uprising in the future, Skynet sent a robotic Terminator back to 1984 to kill the leader of the rebellion before he was even born by killing his mother. The humans however managed to send one of their own back in time to protect her. Though this protector died, he managed to sire said future rebel leader. ("The Terminator", flm)

Note: Also, the media companies that own most of this characters will figth to extend or hinder anyone who wants to use them, that is why it is important to support organizations that seek to shorten the time.

El Diario del Monstruo - fragm. 29
4/04/2024:
La felicidad del día anterior aún perdura, el amor sigue siendo una pieza vital… Pero el Monstruo avanza silencioso como infectando el ambiente, haciéndonos lentos e incapaces de avanzar con normalidad.
La existencia comienza a pesar, por el hartazgo y las condiciones extremas en las que el cuerpo que habito tiene que aprender a sobrevivir mientras mi mente divaga por escenarios aún…

Le nouvel empereur
Nous étions si fragiles…
En 2037, bien loin d’avoir restauré la paix sociale et la prospérité économique, Emmanuel Macron avait échoué dans tous les domaines. Aucun des objectifs affichés pendant la campagne électorale de 2032 n’avait été atteint. Son ambition européenne avait été un fiasco, la dette publique, que tous les gouvernements avaient utilisée depuis un demi-siècle pour justifier…
