"Crazy Primitives" has a beautiful style and profound meaning. The film tells the story of the primitive man Gollum's family who experienced a prehistoric earthquake and was forced to come to the new world from the cave where they lived "for a lifetime". In addition to the fast-paced background of the film era and the prehistoric creatures such as crocodile dogs and parrot tigers carefully designed by Hollywood's top visual effects team, the film is impressive, as well as the perfect 3D technology.
Among the characters in the film, the conservative but kind and responsible father Guage and the brave, tenacious and curious eldest daughter Yi moved me the most.
In a sense, Xiao Yi's dissatisfaction with Guage can also be seen as the rebelliousness of the adolescent daughter to her father. The father tends to be conservative, and the daughter is infinitely curious, and conflicts are inevitable. Therefore, "Crazy Primitives" also has the structure of a family ethics drama. The foreign cover is like a son-in-law with a "prophet" atmosphere. He brings fire, light, and inspiration to this conservative "ignorant" family. Come the dawn of "civilization".
