Fantastic!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
As a teen, I started watching this movie; until my mom walked into the living room during the rape scene. OFF went the VCR and TV - no rentals for me for awhile. As an adult, some years later, I finally found a copy and promptly bought it. I sat down and watched it several times, loving every moment of it. Then I loaned out my copy - and 'poof' it is gone!The movie itself is done rather well, which is to say Daryl Hannah is a great choice for Ayla, and we can all dislike Broud rather easily.Unfortunately, as an avid, repeat, reader of the entire Earth children series of books by Jean Auel; I have spent years (5 to 7 of them) waiting on the next book, and most of my life waiting for the subsequent books to be made into movies. though if more movies based on the book series are ever made - they need to be more in depth and atuned with the books and would do best, I think, as each book made into a trilogy.
Prehistoric tale set in Stone Age about cavemen plenty of drama , adventures , thrilling events and speaking a special language and particular primitive movements . At a time in prehistory when Neanderthals shared the Earth with early Homo Sapiens , a band of cave-dwellers travels through uncharted landscapes towards an unknown territory , searching for caves to shelter themselves . During their quest , they encounter and battle various animals as buffalo , lion , wolves and tribesmen in order to survive . Iza (Pamela Reed), Medicine woman of the "Clan of the Cave Bear" meets little Ayla from the "other"'s clan ; the little girl loses her parents , Ayla is taken in by after her own parents are disappeared , tradition would have the clan kill Ayla immediately , but the Medicine women insists on keeping her . Iza as a primitive gamine adopts blond and blue-eyed Ayla , the lost child of the "Others" . As it results out later , she's a bright girl , but has a hard time to keep her place in a clan with different habits . As the scrawny cavegirl named Ayla (a gorgeous primitive babe played by Daryl Hannah) matures into a young woman of spirit and courage , being helped by Creg (James Remar) , she must fight for survival against the jealous bigotry of Broud (Thomas G Waites) , who will one day be clan chief .This interesting film about primitive humans contains drama , emotions , fights and is pretty entertaining . Ponderous and sometimes slow-moving , the picture failed at box office , however , nowadays being better considered . Based on Jean M. Auel's popular novel with screenplay by prestigious John Sayles , there is minimal narration ; subtitles translate the Neanderthal gestures and primitive spoken language . A planned back-to-back sequel never made it into production . Emotive musical score by Alan Silvestri , though composed by synthesizer . Colorful and brilliant cinematography by Jan De Bont , subsequently become filmmaker . The motion picture was well realized by Michael Chapman . Chapman is deemed one of the best cameraman of cinema , he photographed a lot of successes such as ¨Evolution¨ , ¨Primal fear¨, ¨The fugitive¨, ¨Rising sun¨, ¨Ghostbusters II¨, ¨Shoot to kill¨ and masterpieces for Martin Scorsese as ¨Raging Bull¨, ¨Last Walz¨, Taxi driver¨ . He occasionally directed some films as ¨The viking sagas¨, ¨All the right moves¨ and this ¨The clan of bear cave¨.Other films dealing with cavemen are the following : ¨One million B.C. ¨(1940) by Hal Roach with Victor Mature and Carole Landis ; ¨One million years B.C.¨ by Don Chaffey with Rachel Welch and John Richardson ; ¨!0.000 B.C.¨ by Roland Emmerich with Steven Strait and Camilla Belle ; and the best is ¨Quest of fire¨ by Jean Jacques Annaud with Everett McGill and Ron Perlman .
Very Good --------- Inventive 'sign language' (although some viewers may consider this a 'very bad' aspect of the movie)Good ---- Music (but it is a little repetitive), Darryl (needed far more nudity)Bad --- Story pace, Voice over, Brow ridgesVery Bad -------- Teeth, No T-RexNot a bad film, quite enjoyable. Often more like watching a National Geographic doc about some lost tribe. Some intelligent use of sign language - very consistently used and plausible. Apparently, the woman who wrote the book sued the production company because the film bombed and slurred the good name of her novel. It was a cave-man adventure book, for heaven's sake, with hot sex scenes every other chapter. The sort of book you buy at an airport, read on a beach, then leave in a hotel room. If anything, we should be suing her.
I wish the powers that be would continue the series. The Clan Of The Cave Bears is A great movie,showing how women can be great leaders in life too! Yes the struggle can easily reflect the struggles a girl can go throughout life and will go through in the future. This movie shows when you(man or Woman) believe in yourself there is no obstacle that can restrain the will to fight to live. Beside I would love to see Miss Daryl Hannah star in another blockbuster not only is she hot she is wickedly talented! I don't want to forget the director and producer and all the other people who this movie. Because of every individual in even the smallest way added enough of themselves just so perfectly it has inspired me to stand up and tell someone,anyone this is a really fucken cool movie about people for people yeah its dated,but thats why we have Hollywood! please take me away for an hour or two today my work week was tough. Thank You. Michael
