My favorite 80s movie came out in 1983 and is called, "Quest for Fire". It came out the same year as "ET", and failed to get the recognition is should have due to the overwhelming attitude among people to believe in Intelligence from another solar system rather than look into what life may have been like for early humans on this planet.
Quest for Fire didn't use any language, yet the actors were able to communicate very affectively what they were feeling and experiancing. I was Wowed by this movie and how intense it was; the odyssy of early man to find the element which was life sustaining. Without fire, the very survival of a clan was in great jeapardy. This movie affectively depicted how difficult life was for early man and how those early men/women were really not much different than those today. While the needs were different, the basic need to survive is still as strong today as it was for those early people. We are just as willing today to take strong measures to ensure our own and our families survival as any man from our earliest days on this planet.
This movie was of great import in that it dealt with life and death issues and was able to protray all the emotions and experiances without a single spoken word. It amazed me that human emotion and experiances could so affectively be illustrated and depicted without a single spoken word. This was affirming in many ways that life is not so strictly subject to the spoken word to articulate emotions, but it is our body language which truly communicates that which one is experiancing.
Anyway, this movie was very enlightening for me and it marks the eighties in a major way. I remember this movie as though I viewed it yesterday, which is a mark of a well made experiance. It dealt with issues I believe are as important today as they were in those long ago days. It shows that we have not really changed as much as we had believed. It has a strong message if one wishes to see it and it can demonstrate the real core issue facing each generation: Survival, and what one is willing to do, how for one is willing to go, in order to ensure survival; what methods one can choose to act upon-good or ill.
Have a great day!
