In love letters. 'i miss you' is used more often than 'i love you'...

Today we went to watch 10 000 BC. Initially i discounted the movie and had in mind that it would be a hunt here hunt there caveman movie, but it wasn't. I think it brought out some of the myths and legends that live on till today which we never really bother to find out.
I'll just recall some snippets that are worth mentioning.

It was a time travel back to past where human beings solely relied on hunting for food and survival. How tribes were like and the different cultures and traditions, which i suppose are our religions today. All the cavemen regarded an Egyptian king as the mountain of gods. Basically being a god, he was higher than everyone else. At the end of the movie where a normal caveman ended his reign by throwing a spear proved that gods did not exist and all men were equal with no one being superior or having magical powers.

It also showed how travelers in the past relied on the north star to travel at night because one of the tribe leaders said it was a no man's feat to be able to cross the sea of sand a.k.a desert. The main starring actor, don't know his name >.<,realised that a star in the sky is always constant and doesn't move. Because of the fact that everywhere in the desert looks the same, no one managed to get out alive, spending half the time walking around in circles and the scarcity of food and water made it worse.

Besides that, the first ships that were being made were called 'birds'. I think that part was hilarious. And, when people used horses to travel, other cavemen that relied on foot all the time thought they had wings to fly because of their accelerated speed to travel from a place to another.

The most amazing of all was the building of the pyramid in Eygpt. It was a spectacular sight. I wonder how the director managed to piece the whole thing up with at least millions of people working on the the structure of the pyramid. Simply a wow factor for the entire movie.

The part where human beings are actually connected spiritually is also showed as well. When the group of hunters left the tribe to free their men, the lady head chief of the tribe blessed them by spitting saliva on them. And throughout, she watched over their journey, feeling every single emotion and seeing what they see. Her body even mimicked the functions of their bodies. It reminds me of some stories i've read where siblings(twins especially)/parent-child share this kinda telepathy to feel how the other party feel.

Looking at how people led their lives in the past and comparing to the present, we're actually very much complicated creatures now. It's really amazing how the world has developed, and continues to thrive.

Those interested in the history of the start of civilization, this is definitely a good movie to catch.
