 1) The film redefines the human relation with chimpanzees. In the eyes of chimpanzees, what makes humans inferior, except the stink. How do you see the “beauty” of chimpanzees? Why can the chimpanzee not see human beauty?  2) The film provides us a different perspective to look at ourselves through chimpanzees. In what way do you think humans superior to chimpanzees? Do they share different nature? Do human beings carry more diseases than animals?  3) Chimpanzees have their own “Bible” and religious codes. Though this story is imaginative, how does that redefine human religion(s)? What do you think about the statement: “Semos created us in his image”?  4) The gun is the key that Leo won over Thade and “the proof of power.” How does the film treat violence and technology? Symbolically, what does the war between humans and Chimpanzees mean?  5) The film ends with an “anti-climax.” What do you think about the ending in which chimpanzees dominate the earth, and the American founding father is Thade, a chimpanzee? What might happen to the planet of apes after Leo is gone and before he arrives on earth? (Use your imagination.)
