"10,000 BC" 2008 USA, by Roland Emmerish


"10,000 BC" is an amazing prehistoric epic by Roland Emmerish. This stunning film portrayed the prehistoric lifestyle by representing a few different tribes, their ancient beliefs and their prophecies. The film set in absolutely beautiful landscapes in various parts of the world. The story follow the journey of D'Leh, played by Steven Strait, a young mammoth hunter who follows his father's footsteps to secure his tribe and his lover Evolet, played by Camilla Belle. 

It is so fascinating for me to see this exceptional portray of the prehistoric era. I love pretty much everything about it. The story is a little cheesy, but it is how it needs to be so. I love the cinematography and the dialogue, more than anything else. The animation of those mammoths was so well done, their movement and the texture and everything. It makes me feel like getting a little 'Spear tooth' pet. (he he) I really don't have a bad thing to say about this film.  

Here is my favourite bits of the dialogue.

D'Leh
Why do they think I can free their people?


Tic-Tic
There's something you must know about your father.
When your mother died bringing you life, your father
took upon himself not only the weight of you, but
all of our people.

(Skiped a line from each character)

D'Leh
And why do you tell me this now?


Tic-Tic
A good man draws a circle around himself and
cares for those within. His woman, his children.
Other men draw a larger circle and bring within
their brothers and sisters. But some men have a
great destiny. They must draw around themselves
a circle that includes many, many more. Your
father was one of those men. You must decide to
yourself whether you are, as well.

It is such a beautiful film. And it truly is one of the best films I've even seen.
