With the arrival of the end of the Quaternary Ice Age and the arrival of Homo sapiens with higher intelligence, as the heroine Eep said in the opening chapter, the end of their world has quietly come.
The animation exaggerates the stubbornness and short but strong physique of Neanderthals, and the clumsy but sweet group hunting activities. But these are no longer suitable for the new world, and the conventions they adhere to have been
smashed by the ruthless earth in the movement of the earth's crust .
In the movie, Dad Grug looked at his former cave affectionately, and this scene was so moving. They were ruthlessly mocked by reality. The principles of nature they love, love, and obey are nothing more than a joke.
After the ruthless God was tired of playing the frozen continent, he began to play new tricks, and it was here that they began to embark on a road of no return.
The encounter between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals in the film is a beautiful encounter. In real history, it may not be so wonderful. If Homo sapiens did not use his brain to use weapons or traps, he would probably be killed and eaten.
If he used it, our lovely heroine would have been killed and turned into dry food (yes, Neanderthals were in short supply and had no leftovers, but Homo sapiens weren't - they ate big bird's time, the movie also said).
Therefore, if you just imagine tomorrow, the one flying towards the sun as someone who is a paradise by the sea, the analysis and understanding of the film has not yet reached the entry level.
This tomorrow is the tomorrow after the Quaternary Ice Age. After the Quaternary Ice Age, mankind completely bid farewell to the primitive and officially entered the civilization period. No longer have to drink blood, no longer have to call themselves primitive. Humans eventually evolved themselves into beings similar to the Creator.
He creates, changes and seeks to dominate the world in which he lives, rather than being part of nature as a predator. This is the tomorrow that Homo sapiens pursue, and their tomorrow is actually ours today.
However, none of this has anything to do with Neanderthals. They belong to the past, they are representatives of old times, they are brothers of saber-toothed tigers and mammoths. As the brothers fell one by one, they eventually fell too (the beginning is actually a very dark humor about the extinction of their species).
The film is very tender. Unfortunately, the truth is cruel. Our ancestors were not a friendly species, but fortunately, after nearly 10,000 years of elimination and upgrading, we are. Even if only a tiny fraction of us have a tiny fraction of the genes of these dead heroes.
We can still remember them. To commemorate the days when our ancestors ate their hair and drank blood with them, and commemorated the days when saber-toothed tigers and mammoths were defeated with their bare hands.
Nature and history are cruel, sorry, tomorrow is ours and they are not.
