I watched this movie as an archaeology graduate student. The reason is simple: the producers of channel 4 TIME TEAM strongly recommend this movie, and the engineers of visual lab in kcl strongly recommend this movie, even the archaeology of our college Scientists are always mentioning this film, wondering what kind of film it is that fascinates these people so much.


What I want to say is simple, life is just a dream.

Leaving aside the delicate technology of 3D, when the prehistoric murals are displayed in front of your eyes, apart from beauty, they are shocked. It is to marvel at the greatness of human creativity.

Then you will think about where we came from and where we are going. The so-called eternity in the world is nothing but the still picture on the cave, and we who created eternity have long since turned into nothingness.

ps, this film can be referenced from the following perspectives, the precedent of visual anthropology, the combination of archeology and media.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams quotes

  • Werner Herzog: The artist painted this bison with eight legs, suggesting movement - almost a form of proto-cinema.

  • Nicholas Conard: I think what's extremely important is that we realize that archeology today is not a heroic adventure with spades and picks, but high tech scientific work that's done with incredible detail.
