the film really captured the beauty of life back then. yes life was tough, but there was something so romantic about them looking at the moon and the vast unexplored nature of the world and sense of wonder and awe. im kind of jealous of people who lived back then.

nah, i don't feel the need to be a squirrel looking for a nut all day while evading predators both animal and humanoid. Time for relaxing back then was minimal with the minimal lifespan and health issues. Bad tooth? No such thing as a no pain dentist. Parasites, worms in the intestines. Believe me, you would NOT want it.

It was nature in the raw. When I used to rough it many years back you could feel a sense of attachment with the Earth. That's what Annaud wanted in this movie, and I think he really captured that essence, as well as being able to get the audience to see themselves in the film.

I think they worried more about getting their next meal and survival than being in awe about the wonders of the unexplored world and universe.
Myself, I am very happy about taking the next meal completely for granted, as well as living in comfortable surroundings with a big screen TV and all other modern luxuries. Furthermore, I am quite happy about there being an infrastructure that allows for travel and further experiences. On top of that, I'm REALLY happy about health studios, doctors and dentists, as these will allow me to not only outlive three generations worth of cavemen, but (barring catastrophic accident or incurable disease) stay healthy enough to enjoy life to the fullest for all of that time.
Also, I am quite happy the world and our immediate part of space is explored, at least for the most part. There still remains so much unexplored out there to be in awe at that it boggles the mind.
I wouldn't even want to live 80 years ago, let lone 80,000.
