10.-The films

As I have not seen any film in class, I put a summary of the last film I have seen: 10000

The film follows D'Leh, a young mammoth hunter of the Yagahl Tribe who is the son of a hunter that abandoned the village. It was also at that time that D'Leh witnessed the mysterious arrival of Evolet, a young girl with who prompts a prophecy from the wise old woman of the tribe, Old Mother of "four legged demons"(horses) coming to their land during the last Mammoth hunt to occur years later. D'Leh falls in love with Evolet and promises that she will always be in his heart.
Several years later, the Yagahl tribe is expecting the arrival of a mammoth herd to help them survive the winter. According to TicTic, D'Leh's trainer and a friend of D'Leh's father, whoever kills the lead male of the herd, will inherit the legendary White Spear of the North, and Evolet as well. When the mammoth herd arrives, the hunters try to capture the biggest one, but it manages to escape. D'Leh is the only one that follows him and the mammoth ends up dead when it accidentally falls on top of D'Leh's spear. Since nobody sees this, other than TicTic, D'Leh is assumed to be the leader and the winner of Evolet's love. However, TicTic is reluctant to recognize D'Leh. Being honest with what happened, D'Leh returns the White Spear.
At night, a group of raiders come in and kidnap several of Yagahl, including Evolet. The warlord leader takes a liking towards her. His main henchman, One Eye, believes that the girl is a witch who has seduced his master (his later actions hint that he might possibly be attracted to the girl as well). D'Leh decides to rescue Evolet and the rest of the Yagahl. Tic'Tic, Ka'Ren, and young Baku, whose mother was killed by One-Eye during the attack, join him. During their travels to save their people, with Ka'Ren and Baku captured by the raiders, D'Leh falls into a trap-hole where he finds a trapped Spear-Tooth. Despite being scared, D'Leh saves the cat by letting it free. D'Leh and Tic'Tic keep on walking through the desert finding the village of the Naku tribe. Just when the Naku are about to attack them, the Spear-Tooth appears, and D'Leh reluctantly confronts it. Recognizing D'Leh as the one who saved it earlier, the feline spares him and protects him and Tic'Tic from the tribe. The tribe acknowledges D'Leh as the fulfiller of the prophecy: a man who speaks to the Spear-Tooth would become savoir. D'Leh also learns the truth behind his father from Nakudu, leader of the Naku who learned the Yagahl's words from his father.
Other tribes of the area, on being convinced that the prophecy had been fulfilled, join them. D'Leh learns that Evolet and the others are being taken to the "Mountain of the gods" where they would be forced to build altars and pyramids for a mysterious god-like figure. Determined to rescue Evolet and the rest of his tribesmen (and all the other slaves), D'Leh and his friends organize an attack. D'Leh kills the tyrant god, leaving all spectators awestruck. Evolet frees herself by stabbing the warlord with an arrow. The dying warlord, out of spite, shoots an arrow at Evolet from behind killing her. However, she comes back to life to fulfill the prophecy of Old Mother, who revives her with her last breath. Nakudu, fulfilling the wishes of D'Leh's father, gives him seeds to grow and eat from. D'Leh and the rest of the Yagahl bid farewell to the Naku and return to their village. The film ends as D'Leh and Evolet observe the growth of the seedlings.
