The movie was a political satire when it was first made........

Here I will cheat and give a clue from a write up on the movie from a critic

The ending was even toned down from its original bloody mess, but we still get a bit of a chill when Caesar announces "the birth of the Planet of the Apes!"

Have a nice day. LOL

Dude, you ruined it.

I wasn't even talking its relation to the Civil Rights Movement, unless you call what is happening now a civil rights movement, which I don't.

I'm talking about the lines, the dialogue, some of the stuff said by the characters. The Apes being used by humans "to do jobs humans don't want" and the apes pretending not to understand what is being said, pretending they don't know whats going on while communicating in secret about the revolution.

I'm telling you all, you'll swear it was George Bush or Bill O Reilly speaking when you hear some of the lines used.

I think I'll make a dr9inking game out of this.

I was thinking of the illegal alien situation myself but Redleg has a good angle. Is it beastilality to be sexually attracted to Ceasars wife or is that just the alcohol?
