Rebellion against Racism and Discrimination in the Movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
ABSTRACT
Racism, discrimination and rebellion are three issues which still exist in the world we live these
days. Racism is a belief that some groups are superior and some groups are inferior. Discrimination is the
unequal or unfair and violence actions toward others, basically based on their race, color and belief.
Rebellion is an action or a movement against the pressures which comes from the outside. Those three
issues can be found in the movies Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. The
purposes of this study were to indentify and analyze the kinds of racism action from Humans which then
emerged the resistance or rebellion from the Apes, and how do the Apes rebel to the Humans. The
primary data of this study are collected from Mat Reeves’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) movies.
The theory of racism by Henry and Tator, discrimination theories by Theodorson and Theodorson
and Larry Willmore and theory of rebellion by Karl Max and D. E. H. Russel were used as the main
theories to find out and analyzed the kinds of racism that the Humans had done to the Apes and the way
the Apes do the rebellion action in the movies Rise of the Planet of the Apesand Dawn of the Planet of the
Apes movies.
The result of this study showed that the rebellion action from Apes toward Humans is appropriated
with the rebellion theories from Karl Max and D. E. H. Russel. The Apes did the rebellion actions toward
the Humans because of the unfair treatments, racism and discrimination treatments from the Humans.
Furthermore, the result of Ape’s rebellion towards Human in the movies is only the destruction.
Key words: Individual racism, interpersonal racism, systemic racism, institutional racism, discrimination,
