Well you do learn something new every day! I just found out that Planet of the Apes was originally planned to be filmed in England!

Hell a guy in England in 2007 is virtually unintelligible to me. When are you limeys going to drop the pretentious accent and learn to speak proper english like us Americans;-)

On one hand you could say the Apes have an arrested culture that hasn't evolved much over 2,000 years, including their language. On the other hand it does make sense that dialects would have developed over that time.

If I recall correctly, they did want to have the Apes speaking a different langauge at first but Heston argued against it.

Speaking for the moderators we apologize for letting this thread go on as long as it has. Our goal is not to censor people so sometimes we mis-judge when something has crossed the line. We're sorry.

I think the Ape culture, or at least that small part of it we get to
see in the first two movies, is one that is very resistant to change.
I suspect that for generations the ruling orangutans have made
scientific progress very difficult for fear of where such progress
leads. I suspect they know what is possible but a proggression from
horse power to steam to electricity etc destroyed the world once
before (presumably) and they'd want to remove the temptation so it
can't happen again.

Such a philosophy of religiously keeping things the way they are
(innocent?) may have extended into the classrooms - I can see little
chimp students having the palms of thier hands rapped with a ruler
because they've just invented a new word ("Pericles! You shame the
language of our fathers!)

Of course, that the language originates from humans makes it all
deliciously ironic.

It was a crap film but 'The Village' featured a deliberate attempt to
isolate a community from progress. Maybe the Ape City in the movies
tried something similar?

When you get Ursus using words like 'ineluctable' the yes, maybe the
Apes took a special pride in preserving the language, especially as
it could be viewed as the key to their liberty, through its use in
the rebellion, and also as Casar's gift to his people.Another
cultural point is clothing--I can see that the colour schemes were
slave uniform echoes, but how did the Apes come up with their
particular designs? Had somebody seen and described the clothing of
Zira and Cornelius? Had Armando given young Caesar a Cornelius style
romper suit? John, Scrolls.

Good for you Tim! Have a great time. I'm very jealous. Remember Las Vegas is the future site of Central City so be sure to bury something that will be useful to Burke & Virdon in 1,000 years. Also, never hit on a dealer 16.
