      Director said

      "War of Fire" is an important film made in 1987 by France (in cooperation with Canada).

      Judging from the narrative content, this seems to be an ordinary prehistoric thriller. The film depicts the living habits of apes from the perspective of the history of human development, and highlights the importance of fire for their survival from the very beginning. The film also shows the characteristics of their lives concretely and vividly: their way of walking like animals, the habit of...

      Body position determines the height of civilization

      Body position determines the level of civilization.
      When the male Neanderthal was captured by the Homo sapiens tribe, the elders of Homo sapiens made him a "stallion" in order to obtain better genes (see his teeth and sexual organs). When preparing, the sequence of the two postures adopted by Homo sapiens women shows that they are a civilization that is one level higher than the other. From the need of mere reproduction of the race to the need of adding feelings, love should be born at...

      Life is so happy

      There is no dialogue. To be precise, we do not understand the dialogue, the voice from ancient times, the savage and fragile that cannot be avoided.
          Fortunately! Born in the age of civilization, fortunately not having to pay the price of life for the simplest survival. When life is so low that only survival is left, all problems will no longer be problems. When fire is more expensive than life, the four o'clock will still rotate, there is no difference between smallness and greatness....

      Wilderness

      Among the many civilized nations on a certain planet, Nyan State has acquired a major cutting-edge technology product, which is regarded as a national treasure. With this as a driving support, the country's economy is prosperous, the society is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. A nearby barbaric country coveted this cutting-edge technology and brazenly launched a fascist lightning war.

      The savage and cruel wars have broken the lives of life, and the core...

      Endless

      There is no strange piece of dialogue.
         No matter in terms of acting, costumes, or colors, it can't be seen that it is an old film shot in 1981.
         "Tinder" lets us understand that language is not the only way for humans to communicate. In many cases, the most sincere human emotions are not conveyed by language. A look or a shout is worth a thousand words, because the transmission of emotion can overcome the barriers of language and cultural differences, and it is even more...

      Title Card: 80,000 years ago, man's survival in a vast uncharted land depended on the possession of fire. / For those early humans, fire was an object of great mystery, since no one had mastered its creation. Fire had to be stolen from nature, it had to be kept alive - sheltered from wind and rain, guarded from rival tribes. / Fire was a symbol of power and a means of survival. The tribe who possessed fire, possessed life.
