Planet of the Apes Worldview
I want to start off by saying that "Planet of the Apes" is a SUPER RAD movie! I loved it. I love how it flipped everything, even the tiniest details like sayings. It potrays a secular humanist worldview because it relies heavily on the theory of evolution. It also seems to mack the idea of a higher power with laws in the form of "The Great Ape" and "Lawgiver". In the movei, the religous laws were really given to cover up the scientific truth. The movie also raises up the human fighting spirit and intelligence. Taylor is smart and can beat his surrounding. He can rise above. In the movie, human ruining the planet and society is the "sin" and the redemption is the adapting to the environment to avoid going exstinct.
