In Reply to: A new appreciation for "Quest for Fire" posted by Bambi B on January 18, 2003 at 11:01:21:
I saw it twice long time ago..Like every Annaud film it is a failure,
an almost " could have been ".For this one I can not remember any details, too long ago.....
Follow Ups:
patrick,Interesting comment, as I think Annaud's "The Name of the Rose" and later "Seven Years in Tibet" were atmospheric but missed opportunities, but "Quest for Fire" does evoke use that prehistoric atmosphere in a way that has never been done before or since and not in a forced or contrived way.
Not even "1,000,000 Years B.C." with Raquel Welch, "Cave Girl," or the Ape bone throwing scenes in "2001" measures up!
This must have required astounding time to research and prepare.
And very memorable visually. When watching again, many scenes- being treed by lions, the quicksand, and others- were so familiar 20 years later.
Cheers,Bambi B
Yes, that is true...But that doesn´t either make an good film...
Look at " The Name..." it could have became such a good film !
The idea of a Sherlock in middle age was fascinating...and Sean could had have the role of his life time with James...But no ! Annaud make a film for the time frame of three years...Stupid !
