The major themes
of the film include the struggle for survival on the primitive,
fog enshrouded, tropical Skull Island between the ardent and energetic
filmmakers, the voodoo natives, and the forces of nature (the unique
Beast creature); unrequited love; and the repression of violent sexual
desires. However, the giant ape must also struggle against the forces
of urban civilization when it is exploited for profit and returned for
display in New York City during a time of economic oppression." King Kong's movie site |

This version of Planet of
the Apes is neither a remake of the 1968 original nor a sequel to
the first five films and subsequent television show (all inspired by
Pierre Boulle's 1963 novel). Mark Wahlberg plays Leo Davidson, an Air
Force astronaut whose ship crash-lands on a planet ruled by simians and
worked by human slaves. Helena Bonham Carter plays a sympathetic ape
who eventually joins Wahlberg's posse — which includes Estella Warren —
as they try to escape from the apes, led by an evil general (Tim Roth)
and his first-in-command (Michael Clarke Duncan). Look for Charlton
Heston, the star of the original, in a humorous supporting role. planet of the apes, movie review (2001) |

Congo had many different
gorillas, yet there was one, named Amy, that was featured as the main
gorilla. She learns sign language and when zoo keepers attempt to
bring her back into the wild, she is found with a loss of
identity. The other apes do not use sign language, the other
gorillas are living to survive. Congo dvd cover |
