    Oh my god, only after watching the movie did I realize that the textbook I learned when I was in elementary school, drilling wood to make fire is a battle of fire. The ancient part of the history textbooks for primary and secondary school students in France that I just read is also taken from...

    Under the limitation of language, the director still subtly compresses the history of human evolution and awakening. The sprout of love and the relationship between man and nature are all very ingeniously designed, and at the same time, they also show a peculiar sense of...

    Extremely rare work, (perhaps just the type I rarely see). The primitive tribes fought for the fire of the heavenly generals, but there were already mud civilizations that took control of their lives. Although this tribe was not physically fit, it made good use of the environment and traps. There is some truth to the idea that self-deficiency is a driving force of human...

    The exploration of various tribes in the parallel world in the primitive age, the evolutionary history of a higher civilization. Let Arnold and the lion baron Pullman's famous work, Oscar Best Makeup No Dialogue, inherit the beginning of 2001. Tame the animals, the surprise of getting to know the fire by drilling wood for the first time, the intuitive display of the original ecological mating to the change of the posture of the foreign female, from the savage and subtle to the slight emotion,...

    Jean-Jacques Arnault shoots primitive people as animals he understands. He is spiritual but not barbaric. The shots are all traces of his mastery in animal movies. This compressed version of the early human civilization history allows viewers to see a lot of human progress. It may be amusing because it never realizes that humans may have been so stupid. Even if it is seen as a continuation of the opening chapter of "2001: A Space Odyssey", it is completely different from...

    Rather than saying that this film reflects the difficult survival and progress of human beings in primitive society, it is better to say that this is a plot structure following Kubrick's "A Space Odyssey" where primitive people use bones to make tools (weapons). In primitive society, people have slowly learned to drill wood for fire and use wooden sticks to make sharp arrows (bows and arrows). This is indeed a great masterpiece in the history of human civilization. The primitive man still...

  • [first lines]

    Title Card: 80,000 years ago, man's survival in a vast uncharted land depended on the possession of fire. / For those early humans, fire was an object of great mystery, since no one had mastered its creation. Fire had to be stolen from nature, it had to be kept alive - sheltered from wind and rain, guarded from rival tribes. / Fire was a symbol of power and a means of survival. The tribe who possessed fire, possessed life.
