By the end of the movie you realize, ‘Oh, the most human character, the character I most related to, is an ape!’
All I knew is that I wanted to take us on a journey that was more in Caesar’s perspective than anything we’d ever done.
Which is a crazy thing, and why that’s a groundbreaking movie.
Because for me, the big thing about Rise was that you went in thinking it was going to be one thing and surprised with the movie that it’s actually Caesar’s story.
