This is easily one of the most entertaining movies of the past three decades. Who doesn't just love James Franco to death? If you hate this film, then you don't understand it, plain and simple. The ape isn't supposed to be realistic - he represents an extension of Harry, a living representation of his own Ego. It's brilliance in living breathing motion picture. Holy Christ, all of my friends love this movie to death. I am thinking about being the Ape for Halloween. That'll show 'em. Seriously though, this movie is at least memorable - the Dostoevsky quote interludes are brilliant and the accompanying orchestral soundtrack accents the film's best moments. I wrote a novel after watching The Ape. Actually, I wrote three novels and a play. Allow the words in this movie to seep deep into your consciousness and ask yourself the big questions: for example, does art imitate life or does life imitate art? How thin is the line between ourselves and our alter ego? How close are we to the end of civilization? Will Apes one day take over?
