Customer Reviews of The Clan of the Cave Bear
I Liked It I just finished reading the reviews of Clan of the Cave Bear, and for the life of me, I can't understand why everyone despises this movie. I liked it. I happened to catch it a few years ago on some cable channel, and it fascinated me enough to go out to try and find the book upon which it was based. Imagine my delight to see that Ms. Auel had written even MORE books about Ayla! I now own all 5 books (and what a great day it was when The Shelters of Stone was finally released!) and the movie. I can't wait till the final book she is working on is finished. If it had not been for the movie, though, I would never have known of Ms. Auel's wonderful books, and it saddens me that she reportedly did not like the movie at all. Granted, they did not have all the special effects when this was made that they have now, but overall, I believe it was a sincere effort.
As an Auel Fan, and a very picky person, I love this movie.
I read the whole series long before I saw the movie, and as a person who frequently reads before she sees any movie editions, I can be disappointed at times, and not for nitpicking reasons.
However, this time I was not only plesantly surprised, I was blessed with this movie. I happen to think that many film adaptations of books are not very well done because of how much has to be cut out, rewritten, etc, for the sake of a movie.
This one, however, was wonderful. Yes, some things were changed, but the book managed to keep Auel's talents alive within the film. I loved the genuine-feeling prehistoric atmosphere the movie portrayed, and the sign language mixed with the type of verbal words that would be typical of the Clan as described by Auel--it's excellent. There was not even a large need for subtitles, the body language says it all. Unlike Splash, Daryl Hannah did a superb job with this movie. I would reccomend it to anyone unless they feel like doing the old nitpick. If you do, this movie's not for you.
This is a better movie than the video sales represent

The setting is prehistoric, and the theme revolves around the clash between Neanderthals and pre-human Cro-Magnons, who supposedly existed side-by-side for some time, the one destined for extinction and the other for our ancestry.
The film has drawn so much attention among my friends and family that I thought for awhile that it was destined to be a "cult" film.
Daryl Hannah plays a Cro-Magnon girl who is abandoned in infancy and raised by Neanderthals, who are jealous of her blond good looks and intelligence, which they don't understand.
I would suggest that you watch this one first without the kids, as some parts are pretty explicit, but the language is clean--except that they have their own, of course: as in, "ug! uga boo uga boo boo ugga"--but it is a thought provoking film, nevertheless.
