About J. Lee Thompson: John Lee Thompson was an English film director, active in England and Hollywood.
Like some of my other movies, 'Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes' is also a very political film, and many critics still consider it even the best of all the Apes movies, because it conveys a series of political viewpoints.
I even agree with the new digital ways of filmmaking, where you don't even have physical film in the camera, but to be honest, I wouldn't want to use it.
'Battle For The Planet Of The Apes', was just a film for kids and didn't have any deep meaning.
