there are some seriously ignorant comments here. just enjoy this extraordinary beauty. if you can. if not, well, there's always jackie chan out there.
I'm in agreement with many of you who so eloquently described this experience of watching watching "Cave of Forgotten Dreams." The film definitely induces a haunting sense of individual participation in human history. I thought, "what are we leaving behind?" after the film I wanted to be more deeply andd actively aware of such things. Another thing I appreciated was the beautiful music in the film. In the special features there is a documentary about the music which you might also enjoy.
He tries to suggest these caves could be the birth of human culture. What a fucking stupid thing to say. They're probably just random caves, like hundreds or thousands of others that didn't happen to be preserved.
@DrunkenPoetic I don't think he's saying that this cave in particular is THE origin of human culture. It's more that this cave is the earliest know use of figures, symbols. So, it represents the birth of art, it is not the birth of art itself as some singular event. But it speaks of a first times when man wished to express something greater than himself. Personally, I found this film incredibly powerful.
I saw it and one thing remained in my mind: we are the ones stuck in history, they were not (paintings overlaping but drawn at so many years distance). Hmmm....what that says about our perception of this planet and ourselves and how we built the future?
This is an amazing documentary. The last 15 minutes of the film just mesmerized me...the postscript in particular, there's a sort of transcendence to it, a sense of finity and infinity. You get a feeling of looking at the mountain.
@mysterysurf The “dislikes” are those who walk among us suffering from cognitive dissonance by denying the quantifiable & tangible evidentiary reality that modern homo sapiens have roamed the earth for more than 75’000 years [as the fossil record points to] in favor of a non-evidentiary faith based superstitious myth that we’ve only roamed the earth for about 10’000 years [+/-].
La Grotte Chauvet in Ardèche, the oldest decorated cave of the world (- 35,000 old years), is not yet part of the UNESCO world heritage list. Really umbelievable!!!!

The "Caves of Forgotten Dreams" are said to be 32,000 years old.
Note that there are Australian Aboriginal rock paintings of a similar age, perhaps older. Search for "Australian aboriginal rock art".
