First of all, I think the plot is a bit boring, but this is not the point. . . Because I was not interested in the stories of primitive people at first, but after watching the trailer, I was a little curious about whether primitive people or modern people would win, so I watched this movie.
I think this movie is particularly anti-intellectual. The message it wants to convey is to use love to generate electricity. . .
The male protagonist and his friends have always lived by hunting rabbits. The special feature of the male protagonist is that he has lofty ideals and wants to hunt mammoths, but the village head always finds him impractical. At the end of the film, the male protagonist and his friends returned to the village and tried to hunt the mammoth, but they were frightened by the mammoth pretending to be a rabbit. This plot should be a deliberately designed humorous ending, but in my opinion it is quite ironic. Although the hero wants to hunt mammoths, he can still be scared by rabbits. In particular, the people of the Bronze Age have tamed mammoths and can make elephants work for humans. Although the male protagonist has the human ambitions of the Bronze Age, his vision is still limited to his primitive society.
The whole football match is also quite ironic. Winning this football game is a game and opportunity created by the male protagonist. However, he is the person most like a man of the Bronze Age. Primitives do not rely on their idiots to win, but on the ingenuity of the hero. And the coaches they train are also Bronze Age girls, rather than relying solely on themselves. Therefore, it was the ideology and technology of the Bronze Age that allowed them to win, not the primitive lifestyle, but the primitive people returned to the primitive lifestyle and turned the girl into a primitive. It's ridiculous. . .
The opposition between the primitive people and the people of the Bronze Age created by this story is the simplicity of the primitive people and the evil of the people of the Bronze Age. This is probably the use of a deep-rooted prejudice or opposition-people in cities are evil, people in rural areas are simple; people in developed areas are evil, and people in backward areas are kind. Although this is sometimes the case, such as in modern Europe and other colonized countries, it is not absolute. Especially primitive people themselves are not necessarily kind. For example, when the cartoons started, the ancestors of those primitive people played football, and some of their companions died, and they didn't care about it. This is probably to show the ignorance of the most primitive humans, but sometimes, what we think of as the kindness of backward people is just ignorance. Because they have never seen money, they will not do crazy plunder of money. They are not without evil, but not even good. They have no morals and no opportunity to do evil and do good. However, in the cartoon, many people from the Bronze Age are also very good people, such as the girl and the booing audience, such as the referee, who are enthusiastic and have a sense of justice, not worse than the primitive people. The Bronze Age was not wrong, and evil was not brought about by bronze. Evil is in people's hearts.
I studied history, but I never studied primitive society. . . The beginning of my study was the late Bronze Age. I know how big the gap is between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age, and how different the progress and development of society are. I think the Bronze Age and the era before it will only be even more different and different. The advancement of technology and the development of the times are always good. But what this cartoon conveys to people is exactly what it wants to express on its own wishful thinking. This kind of thing, in my opinion, is not even a fairy tale, it is just ignorant pretentiousness. Maybe my words are a bit serious, but I think there is really a problem with the spiritual core of this fairy tale, and I don't want this kind of values to be spread.
