Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) - De-Othering will Save Us - Desert of the Reel #104

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) should swap names with Rise. But this is seriously one of the best sequels of all time. This movie is the follow-up to Caesar and all the escaped apes, 10 years after the events of the first film. The apes are met with humans, and both groups are just trying to survive and do what is best for their groups. The result? ETHICAL PROBLEMS!Perfect for this podcast. Some of the questions we ask about this movie are: Is hate more powerful than love? What happens when hate enters a community of love? What happens when you do nothing? How do we avoid one person or one example to represent an entire group? We explore some it the ideas of rewiring our brain to "de-other," inaction vs action, weaponizing love, rewiring our brains, and what makes someone truly human?What are your thoughts on this movie? share us your review or anything else at all at [email protected]
