Critics once pointed out that Mel Gibson’s films always repeat the same theme, that is, half-naked men are ravaged. Such as: "Brave Heart" China Raisin, "The Passion of the Jesus" in "Jesus", "Revelation" in the tiger's claw. In my opinion, Roland Emmerich’s movies also mostly repeat a theme, namely: "Idiot Good Luck" Warriors vs. "Unlucky Low Energy" villains.
The tribe members were taken away, and the warriors embarked on the journey. The story is a bit old-fashioned, but not necessarily not exciting enough. But in "10000B.C.", the warrior did not show the wisdom he deserved during his great journey. All he has is good luck. Just like the saber-toothed tiger he saved, and the enemy's omission of slave care. And the enemy’s low energy seems to be part of his good fortune. The so-called "god" came out in a mosquito net to die, and the slave traders were also vulnerable. If they were so easily defeated, why did the slave traders go to the tribe? Why don't you fight them?
Structuralists believe that all stories have 6 deep core units, such as the initiator and receiver of the event, the princess or treasure, the guide or gift, the villain and the assistant, and so on. The famous "Research on Russian Folk Fairy Tales" summarizes 33 core units in Russian fairy tales, such as: warriors are punished or a ban is issued. "10000B.C." is no exception. First, the appearance of the prophecy acted as the initiator, and then the father’s departure caused the warrior to be punished. Eve Le was naturally the princess, and the guide was the elder of the tribe. The saber-toothed tiger incident was a gift in the story, giving the protagonist a sacred identity. The villain is naturally the slave trader, and the assistant has a big vote. In the end, the brave challenged the dentate alone, which echoed his cowardice in capturing the dentate at the beginning. So does it mean that there are no good stories in the world? Obviously not. To paraphrase the words of a gourmet in "Rattoula": surprise me. Yes, what everyone is waiting for is surprise. Obviously, there is nothing surprise in "10000B.c.". The plot is too old-fashioned and popular has become the biggest drawback of the whole movie.
Roland Emmerich is a director who is good at making blockbuster films, such as "Independence Day", "Godzilla", "The Day After Tomorrow" and so on. The German director once publicly expressed his love for New York, and this love transferred to the movie, that is, he repeatedly destroyed the city he loves in the above-mentioned movies, aliens, opposite sex, dramatic climate change, and so on. I don’t know if this story happened in New York 10,000 years ago.
