I was thinking Animal Rights with a smattering of Christian
Fundamentalist satire.

That's the context of the original Pierre Boulle novel.

No, but from the content (so to speak) of your posts, I've assumed that
"Agent Smith" is a pseudonym for 50,000 of them.

But the moral of the movie is that the apes were right -- Taylor's

Zaius's, but he rebelled against it after seeing ape society, only
to come around to it again at the end.
