15: Is Humanity Making Progress? (PLANET OF THE APES)

Nature
Written By Derrick Hatch

Are humans evolving into greatness? Or do the limitations of our nature impede progress? We begin our discussion on the PLANET OF THE APES films, starting with the 1968 original. We reflect on what this story means for us in these uncertain times we live in, and how to navigate the paradox that is humankind. 

  • Introduction (0:00)

  • Why We Chose PLANET OF THE APES (1:17)

  • An Extended Twilight Zone Episode (2:39)

  • A Mirror of Our Humanity (7:32)

  • Can Human Nature Change? (23:50)

  • Conclusion (37:59)

Stay up to date with our movie club, and see which films we'll cover in the future.
