Ecological crisis is a cultural crisis, if we want to solve the problems of ecological crisis, not only do we should rely on the way of economic, legal and technical, but also we should rethink the relationship between human and nature. Leopold’s land ethics thoughts make the rethink and determine their ethical relations, the thing is that the human and nature are the main body, and acknowledge that the human is in the dominant position of ecosystem, admits that the dominant position of nature in ecological system, the integrity, stability, and beauty of life community is moral dimensions from the relationship between human and nature, thus,he proposes a new ecological concept, ecological holism.Ecological disaster film contains the filmmakers deep ecological consciousness and ecological ethical care, leads the audience ecological aesthetic consciousness awakening and rethink the relationship between human and nature. This article selects the ecological disaster in 2014 "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" as sample, the Land ethics thought as the theoretical basis, in text analysis, combined the literature analysis and comparative study of the "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" in the resolution of anthropocentrism,so,we think that the expression off the film is a symbolic representation for the Land ethics, in the ecological symbols, apes are full of the call of the community of life, natural wilderness as habitat and belonging to realized "the value of wilderness", audio and visual symbols, analyzed the panoramic camera and close-up treasure all the individual life and the fear of the high frequency words, dialogue "trust" of apes and human pursuit of equality and harmonious coexistence, and scars and cage under the complex ecological metaphor. With the help of the above analysis, the film contains the Land ethics thought of deep mining, the value for ecological implication and further extended to the ecological disaster in terms of narrative strategies on how to make the spread of ecological consciousness to explore, the aid is that guide the audience pay attention to the whole interests of the ecological and reconstruct the harmony relationship between human and natural.The establishment of the new film discourse system can not be built in overnight, how to communicate through ecological disaster movies make the Land ethics get the biggest artistic expression and appeal, still need to filmmakers constantly explore. But we can foresee that the ecological disaster has broad space of development, the Land ethics in ecological disaster movies will get more vivid and comprehensive.
