I woke up this morning to the sad news of Charlton Heston’s passing. I thought about all the movies I’ve seen with him and picked out my absolute favorite. I remember when I first saw “The Planet of the Apes,” (1968) and the scene which impress me most. In the movie George Taylor the astronaut (Charlton Heston) lands on earth years into the future to find that man was the beast and apes were the rulers. And I remember how angry I felt that “man” was treated so harshly by the apes. And how proud I felt when George Taylor finally opens his mouth to Dr. Zira’s amazement and delight. The famous line which I never will forget… “Take your stinking paws off of me, you dam dirty ape!”
In Tribute to the legendary actor and true blue American Charlton Heston, below is the clip of the movie which made us think about the future of man and our planet in a big way. Rest in peace…
