shocking allows one to identify

this orbidden !one as a reflecti

of the result of nuclear

annihilation from the (old )ar" '

the (old )ar the procession of th

atomic bomb created fear and

or 4ust woman rights" #his is sho

in the scene when #aylor states h

&r" Stewart% being the only femal

astronaut% was basically only a

breeder" “She was our most precio

cargo.” says #aylor showing this

ob4ectification towards woman and

even more so when #aylor states%

“Stewart was to be our new 7ve%

with our hot and eager help"” #hi

implies that she was only going t

be useful to the three astronauts

as if she were some type of se6

ob4ect causing an e6ploitation

towards woman" Also the placement

of $ova being this beautiful% cle

being amongst the rest of the

humans in which they are mute sho

how she is seen as powerless" 8ei

controlled by #aylor% and her not

being able to talk and e6press

herself fluently allows #aylor to

be seen as dominating and taking

the rights of this woman away" #ocontinue% civil rights are

considered to be a class of right

that protect individual/s freedom

and ensures one/s ability to

participate in civil life within

society without discrimination" #

entrapment of humans in cages bei

treated unfairly and as animals i

this film shows how humans don/t

human differentiates them from

being accepted into their culture

image

Sound: #his film ”Planet of the

Apes” is more than “the shoes on

the other foot” kind of story" #h

film portrays the racism and

stereotypical social values withi

society" #hroughout this film we

notice orangutans on top% the

chimps in between% and the gorill

lower than the chimps and of cour

the humans beneath them all" #his

shows the racism within their own

community e6isting as a castsystem" Although it is somewhat a

shoe on the other foot as humans

are on the bottom" Since oranguta

are more political and religious

and are considered the defenders

the faith they are on top and the

chimpan-ees being scientific are

beneath% then the gorillas being

huge as placed as soldiers or in

other words in their military% that last humans being depicted as

uncultured are at the bottom of t

system" $ot only is there racism

stereotypical values in their own

community but also when #aylor is

at the hearing they ask to tell t

Articles of aith but #aylor does

not know them hence them stating

that since he is human he does no

e6plores the race issues gravely"
