A Parable of Wisdom

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2009)

In the film, the manifestation of the giant rectangular rock is always associated with the scene that moon and sun emerged in the same sky, according to Chinese astronomy, this means something extremely odd is about to occur, which is true to the film as well. In the first episode: the dawn of man, the ape-like ancient men approached the rectangular with great fear and curiosity, when they finally dare to touch the surface of the rock, the sight occurred and soon after which, one of them was inspired to make the first tool in human history from animal bones. Here wisdom was inspired and expressed in a violent and combative way,they were just means to kill others, tools to satisfy stomaches and ways to express anger. Wisdom was far from the thing that could bring them happiness, or had they aware of anything called happiness?
