As too many on the planet only "follow a feign" or some kind of pattern of behaviours that gives no real meaning to what is a human indeed humane existence, this movie tells much more than many would like to have told, in fact. So, for those that have the best human qualities, it is a continual struggle for survival and domination over the planet, given the numbers that are fundamentally opposed to seeing life forms exist based on merit in what is the allocation of resources, relatively speaking. The statement made by the leader of the apes who seems in the  process of taking over the planet in the 1972 installment of the movie  series (English edition version) is that even if man does become  somehow under the rule of apes, that the spirit of what is man should  never be oppressed even if it were so in respect of who rules on the  earth. The control by ape-like oppressors is about to end ... I know. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it is interesting that  Charlton Heston should be described as "an ugly human" by the  female ape he gave a kiss on the cheek to. "To each his own" I guess These important satirical movies perhaps suggest back then that in the  future humans may seem stupid to those that may inhabit or dominate  the earth instead that lack human minds and may as is the case in  these movies be apes of some kind instead. Is there such a mindset  forming on the earth right now? I hope not but history suggests we  beware as the best functioning humans seem rarely to be given credit  anymore for objectively functioning better in regards to such human  faculties as having capacity for genuine empathy where merited and related emotive and cognitive capacities to go along with it I  would say.
