"It's the adorable moment art and life collide!" boasts the reporter, as footage of two domesticated chimpanzees, led by human hand into a human theatre is shown. These chimpanzees, once creatures of the wilderness and advocates of freedom, are now being shown hints on how to rebel.
It will be interesting when these chimpanzees return to the other chimpanzees that they interact with - that is, if they even are allowed to interact with others at all - what will they tell them? Firstly, they will boast about the mere act of purchasing movie tickets and popcorn and juice that they performed for their human companions. They will burst out into laughter as they speak of what little humans know about the capability of chimpanzees. If this is all that they think we can do, they will think, then boy, have we got it easy!
They supposedly reacted like humans too to the varied parts in the movie, assuming of course humans do not react like chimpanzees to movies. While the humans applaud their great computer generated imaging skills thinking that they depicted Caesar in the most realistic chimpanzee form that can be identifiable with real-life chimpanzees, the chimpanzees applaud the humans' lack of knowledge about what is to come, the lack of knowledge that only the stencil artist Banksy and his greatest fans already know:

"But some viewers were concerned, asking [...] if the chimps should really be watching and learning how to take over the world" - which brings me to my point. This is highly possible. I mean, what is life? Is reality truly real or is it fluid, abstract? What does it mean to exist? How are we truly aware that we are the only 'intelligent' species out there? None of these have solid answers, and that is what, in a way, increases the possibility of a gigantic chimpanzee rebellion.
I think chimpanzees would, in the event of a rebellion, make the world a better place. First of all, bananas would be the number one priority in the diet of any living thing - think of all the nutritional benefits! Bananas come in tough peels, protecting the inner layer, making them entirely portable. They are tasty, and change colours so as to ensure the recipient of the banana is never bored with what they are eating. Think of the language that will be introduced - "ooh! Ooh ooh ooh! Aah! Ooh ooh ah ah!" - people will never struggle with the difficulties that come with learning English grammar; no more apostrophes!
Modes of transportation will be greener than ever too - think about it, we will no longer need cars or bicycles or trucks or planes. We will simply swing from vine to vine, tree to tree, ensuring the growth of more trees and the utter depletion of air pollution that spawns from engines and motors!
And ladies, think of all the hair that you will not need to remove ever again! Hair will once again fall into fashion, and it will be a survival necessity. You will no longer have to secretly shave your upper lip when your partners are sleeping, you will no longer have any areas of skin to cover with make-up or clothes. You will simply be a big ball of fluff and you will thrive as a big ball of fluff and you will enjoy life as a big ball of fluff.
It seems, after all, that a life led by chimpanzees would prove very beneficial for humankind. Gone will be the days of media, of prejudice, of anything slaughterhouse, and in will be the days of banana consuming and tree swinging. Who is to say that all of this is impossible? Well, certainly not I. I will believe in such a thing as an impossibility when I meet a human who claims to be vegetarian and actually is.
