Caesar – Human (Planet of the Apes)

This video features the films Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes set to the song Human by Christina Perri.

The video illustrates the main character, Caesar’s close connection to the human world, and particularly to his father figure, Will. The video demonstrates the internal conflict within Caesar, as he is torn apart between being an ape and feeling like a human.

The video also illustrates how Caesar is “human” in the sense that he is imperfect. Caesar is sometimes unable to resist his own angry impulses, and additionally is incapable of preventing violent conflict between apes and humans.
