Planet of the Apes

How does Planet of the Apes deal with the clash between science and religion? Planet of the Apes has a lot to do with science how they get there is science also the time and place is science. There using science almost the whole movie by using future, past and present. When they arrive at the Apes planet the day is shown two thousand years in the future.

            There are many statements and examples of science in this movie. For example there are scientists that study on man and when they arrive at this planet everything is backwards the Apes are in control of man. Also when finding plant life on this universe they use science to know that there is other life on this planet. Towards the end of the movie he realizes he is still in New York because the statue of liberty is rusted and halfway buried in sand.

            The Apes use religion way different than ours in this film. For example when Taylor writes something in the sand trying to show that he is able to talk and write Cornelius knows and messes up the sand so nobody knows about him. Apes religion is hiding a lot from the public so nobody knows more like a need to know basis. Also they execute and put man in jail for being a part of that species or not knowing about their god or religion.

                There is a lot of danger that arises because of no separation of government and religion. For example when Taylor finally breaks free out of jail he is running around beating Apes trying to get away. They throw a net on Taylor capturing him when they caught him he finally has the power to talk saying “Get your hands of me you dirty Ape.”

                Like I explained there is many ways they deal with the clash between science and religion on this planet. When they arrive on the planet the rest of the movie is based on religion just because humans were the animals while Apes were the humans

                     This movie is based on a hero named Judah Ben Hur he might not have superpowers or be able to fly. He was a hero just for being a Gentleman and having alot of respect for other people. Judah was known to care for other people before himself also one of the first to earn Christ's respect. Judah never hurt anyone in this epic story he used his words to do his work I personally think he is to kind and caring to ever hurt anybody.


                     Judah had an ability to survive three years on a boat while the rest of slaves only lasted 4-6 months i personally believe he has a little immortal in him during this point of the movie. This whole movie he has only one quest he tries to accomplish witch is trying to find his mother and sister. His mother and sister were talken to jail by the emperor of Rome. Judah is oftened tested by the emperor of Rome when he goes downstairs while Judah is rowing the boat the emperor makes them row faster and faster just to see if Judah can hang on and last.


                     Ofcourse he did not accomplish all this he received help from the Arab's they let Judah use there horses in the Chariot race's which Judah is undefeated. Judah went and did things that Jew's would never go do tons of unordinary things he did. There is one low point of this movie Judah was forced to walk many miles without water when suddenly he fainted and gave up. Until Jesus Christ showed up and gave him water which gave Judah enough power to live and walk the rest of the way.

                     There is not necessarily an ressurection in this movie but there is a mirracle. Judah went into slavery for a total of four years and came back more powerfull than Mesalla ever was.

                     The conclusion in this movie was a very happy ending getting his family back. Also has a new wife Ester now all of them are able to rest in peace for there whole life.
