QUEST FOR FIRE

Quest for Fire
This story happens 80,000 years ago when our ancestors first discovered the power of
fire, but did not know how to master it.
One day, a peaceful tribe is attacked by apes and wolves. Many die in the fighting and
the tribe is forced to leave their territory. They move to a small island, and on their
way, they lose their treasure—fire. Fire to them is like the door to a house.
Without the door, the house will not collapse. But when a robber comes, the house has no
protection. Without fire, men can live, but they lose their most powerful weapon when
they are attacked. Thus, the tribe is in a great danger. An attack of wolves or other
beasts can easily kill them. Because they don't know how to make fire, they send out
three members of the tribe to look for fire. 
On their way, they save a girl but she runs away later. Then the three men are captured
by another more advanced tribe (everyone in the area seems to be evolving at a different
rate). In the tribe, they meet the girl who they saved earlier and one of them fell in
love with the girl. They also learn how to make fire on their own. The three men and the
girl flee one day and return to the small island where their tribe is. The people of
their tribe are very excited about their return and they are even more exciting when they
learn that they can make fire by themselves. From now on, human's life is no more depends
on God's favor. They can manage their own life.
In spite of causing me nearly to vomit, this movie has some good aspects. It uses
excellent sound effects and perfect makeup technique to make this movie very realistic.
There is no dialogue throughout the whole movie, but the body language and gestures of
men well explain the story. This movie makes you think a lot about our ancestors, where
we came from and how we would survive in a world where the secret of how to make fire is
as momentous as we would regard the moon landing today . . . This movie also makes me
feel grateful that I do not live 80,000 years ago. Their life is brutal and savage. They
have no houses, no cars and they have to fight with animals face to face. Compared to
them, we are living in a paradise right now.
