I was eight when I saw "Escape" as it was released to theaters. I cried and was upset when Hasslein killed the baby. Very upsetting for an eight-year-old to see. This was the very first time in my life I saw a a baby (human or simian) shot dead. Not deserving of the G rating.
shareI was eleven and saw it on TV, so I wasn't too affected. It was a bummer seeing Cornelius and Zira killed though.

I was 9 when I first saw it when it first aired on TV. I found the ending to be offbeat and surprisingly tragic, but dramatically sound. (I was a precocious kid, I guess.)
shareI think this is the *ONLY* movie I've ever seen a baby shot dead. In the remake of Dawn of the Dead they kill an undead baby- but even that is off camera and you hear the shot. They actually show the bullets impacting the baby chimp wrapped in the blanket
i cant remember if we actually *see* the mutant baby shot in It's Alive (1974).
I was sad because their child was without parents and kept saying mom.
shareIt was not sad because apes are the villains in all these films
shareAre you fucking stupid or something?
I haven't seen this movie in years but from what I recall, the apes were the villains in every Apes movie
shareEach of the POTA movies has different scenarios, and all the movies are basically about humans and apes simply trying to survive and flourish. Sure, one group will be the villains and the other the ones we root for, but in the POTA movie series, it's not always the same. I suppose it's down to the viewer which side they will support per movie. It's really not a simple good vs evil thing, each side has their reasons for their actions.
That last statement is Millsey for: He's never seen the movie and he's just making up shit to stir the pot.
shareAt least Zira and Cornelius are not (and Lucius).
