Product: La Guerre du feu (1982)
Rating: 5.0
ENTERTAINS JUST LIKE A GOOD STORY SHOULD
Okay, so "Guerre du feu, La" (it's original French title) inaccurate in its science. I don't really care and nor do most people. It's not a classroom documentary; it's interpretive fictional entertainment with loose basis founded on evolutionary fact and hypothesis, with a good dose of plain old entertaining story telling from the mind's imagination. Rae Dawn Chong sure was beautiful in her youth. I most enjoyed the sweeping scenery. The filmmakers manage to tell a compelling story without any understandable dialogue and just a sprinkling of a made up language. I gazed in wonder, I laughed, I jumped, I cheered, and I sympathized. I couldn't ask for more for my money in two hours. I'd love to see a modern remake with maybe some more factual details.
