For 3 days I had no name until my mother was watching this movie and she looked down and realised that Ayla was a fitting name for me. I'm so glad she choose that name for me, and for my 18th birthday she gave me the complete book series.
I read these books when I was 16, and decided that that's what I'd name my daughter. And I did! best name EVER!!! And I will be giving her the book series when she turns 16.
Wow, that's crazy. I just had a baby and left the hospital without a name. At 5 days old I named her Ayla, and knew nothing about the series. My mom flipped out loving the name and telling me to read the series. I'm glad you like your name I hope my baby does too.
Ayla mancari I was reading the series when I became pregnant with my first child- once it was confirmed she was a girl I named her Ayla. (She’s 8 now) 💜💜
Everybody has to become Ayla in life by departing familiarity and seeking out your own "people' and finding your own spirit.We all must do as Creb says and " Walk with the Cave Bear".
Brun actually says that by pretending to rub his nose as she walks away and creb has just died in the cave collapse I see the movie is nothing like the actual book
This is one film I would love to see remade using the technology we have now... I get why the author was stung, but this film did have some good moments like this one, and the right director could being Clan of the Cave bear back to lifer again.
@@T2MARA totally agree. I can imagine how awesome the movie could be made today... and how much it would mean to little girls growing up now... or old girls like me.
This deviated a lot from the book but still such a beautiful scene. People of the clan would never interact with someone who has been placed under a death curse
My name is Ayla, my mum had been reading the books when pregnant with me and had quite literally gotten into a fist fight with her cousin who was also pregnant and reading the books for the name lol.
What a great film remember seeing when I was young, now bought it on dvd cheap,nice atmospheric soundtrack from Alan Silvestri, I don't know why but this track of hes makes me cry.
In the novel, not even Uba has courage to talk to Ayla as she's now "dead" and ghost/spirit to them. Creb is the only one (aside little Durc) who acknowledges her existence after the banishment, although after signing with her briefly, he too puts on the "empty gaze" and ignores her. EDIT: Or was it Brun, the old leader? Creb has already died from old age by that time, yes... Only Durc cries after her because he doesn't understand what is going on... and then Uba drags him away from Ayla so she (who they see now as a vengeful spirit) won't drag him with her to "Land of the dead"... This is so different from the novel.
It was Brun. Creb had died minutes before, from having his skull crushed during the earthquake when the roof of the cave caved in. Iza was already dead from old age. Brun signals after her "Walk with Ursus."
Everytime i think about these stories i feel profoundly insignificant. For the last 75.000 years or more likely much longer can you imagine the amount of great ppl that have lived there life and passed from the annals of time amazing stories of triumph and despair the rise and fall of communitys and society's never to be remembered as though they had never existed some stories that might be so amazing that it would not believed today but then i think how we are carried here on the backs of our ancestors we are still apart of those untold and forgotten deeds so in many ways their story goes on... what a great set of books great work but wish she would've given us just one more i would like to have met aylas great grandchildren lol...maybe a few more lol..sometimes greed isnt a horrible thing.😊☺ i suspect im not the only one to ask the boon
When reading this series about 30 years ago, I had similar thoughts that there must have been many extraordinary people during the past several tens of thousands of years whose lives didn't make it into recorded history.
What are the other books you’re referring to here? I find myself routinely irritated that there aren’t more books and movies set in prehistory. I’d be curious to read something else.
@@stuminnis4050 My goodness, do you mean you haven’t read William Sarabande’s prehistory books? Well I would suggest the first four books starting off with Beyond The Sea of Ice. There are four of them and they are just as good as Auel’s classics. Author: William Sarabande; Title: Beyond The Sea of Ice. Just as good if not better than Clan books IMO. Let me know if you agree or not.
I was going to name my baby girl Ayla after seeing this movie...but sadly I was unable to have children. my niece loves me so much and knew what the name meant to me that if the little one she is pregnant with is a girl she is going to name her Ayla.
What did you think of it? Personally I thought The Land of Painted Caves was the worst out of the whole series. There was a rumour that Jean M Auel did not write it at all due to dementia and that her family had hired a ghostwriter to finish the series, so badly was it written.
I absolutely love the book! I like the second book as well and I haven't had the chance to read the third. But I hope that one day Clan of The Cave Bear gets remade or turned into a series on HBO. With todays graphics it would be great! If the first book did good it would be even better to turn the second book into a series.
I absolutely love this scene, I could never understand why it got such a bad rep, I mean there were parts of the book that I personally would never want to see
Yeah I know what you mean. What's one the best things I like about this movie is the music. I even like the way they changed the ending. Instead of Ayla being banished from the Clan ordered by that piece of shit Broud, (which is in the book) Ayla fights against him and wins the fight before Broud's father kicks his son out of the Clan.
I really liked this scene as well. My favorite scene was when Ayla returns to the cave for the first time with Durc after being banished temporarily; and Creb speaks up for her to join his hearth.
@@virnan there is a sixth one. I didn't like it that much. Which is your favorite? Mine is the second. I'm sorry, I don't know the og titles, I didn't read them in english
And they prounce the exotic name Ayla almost as the polish name Ela (really short for Elzbeta, Elisabeth). Anyway, NOW I know how it shall be pronounced. :)
Just finished reading the book - it's been 20 years since I read it the first time. Watching this clip is enough to convince me I don't want to watch the rest of the film.
Great book series! I´ve read them several times, especially first 3. They should make a new version of the movie, and book 2 and 3. at least! I think with technology today it would be possible to make Neanderthal- people look realistic, and scenes like mammoth hunt and such. I don´t quite remember the movie, but they rarely do justice for the original book and one´s imagination.
I’ve always thought this would make an amazing series too. With how many people love the books and today’s technology it’s totally possible and would be awesome. I’ve been seeing rumours pop up here and there in some comments saying Netflix’s may have actually been considering doing this, let’s hope because it would be wicked. I only wish I had read these books before I had my daughter so I could have named her Ayla. I actually came across the series completely by accident when I happened to see a copy of Valley of the Horses while looking for a new book to read. I’ve always been a huge fan of horses so the title caught my attention, I read this book first and loved it so I started researching and that’s when I found out about the whole series, then of course I read them all only to have to wait for the last book to be released lol.
If those movies do not justice to the whole picture, why for crying out loud, another remake? Another f in directors recut version of a book the cast and crew did not read comprehend nor understand.
I loved the first 3 the most also. The Mammoth Hunters made me want to live with them with the huge tusks at the entrance, each hearth with it's own venting system, the parties and steam baths. I would have wanted to learn healing arts from Ayla and learn to carve ivory. And all the amber they wore! Jean Aeul made this world enchanting.

Jean Auel was so disgusted by this movie and those who made it she swore never to allow it to be remade. There was an attempt to make a mini series with Ron Howard at the helm but studios saw no profit in it and the attempt died. There is however another author who took up the reins and wrote a book about Durc. I am Durc by Dee Jones.
Yes, Cro-Magnon were more than likely dark skinned. That and her head would have been larger. Quest was a better movie. However, that movie had its inaccuracies too.
The movie was good considering the time. I won't lie, though, I think Mel Gibson could do a good job for a remake since he did such an awesome job with Apocalytpto. And since Hollywood is on a remake binge, they could at least do the whole series.
Maybe spielberg, iñarritu or nolan because they like to rely more on practical effects and they´re better directors imo, instead of a cgi fest like 10000 BC
I really liked 10,000 BC personally, but I can see why the Cavebear series could look better with the least amount of CGI possible. Spielberg is all right, and I don't know the other directors you refer to, but I used Apocalypto as a reference because I loved the authenticity of it and thought that was what a series like this would need.
I've never watched the whole movie, but think it could be done better today, or do the third book, "The Mammoth Hunters" . Would not need so many subtitles .
I v seen this athasund times when I was achiled ,today as a grown man i need to leave 3 kids behind me du to my unexpected devors . Now i know how it feels...
Read all but the last, haven't seen the movie though, in my opinion they were ok but valley of horses was epic, I thought she was credited with a few to many innovations at the detriment of realism. It was frustrating the amount of messed up thing's that happened because Ayla and Jondalar wouldn't just say how they felt about each other, in stark contrast to the last opinion I gave - I suppose that was realism in spades. It was annoying the amount of reiterating throughout the books, I realize it was for those who picked up the series partway through, but for those of us who read them in sequence - I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt like they read the earlier books over and over again.
I didn't mind the reiterating throughout the books as much as I did the paragraphs on paragraphs of archeological descriptions that kind of dragged the story. Even though I enjoyed the stories overall, I have to admit that I skimmed through some pages that really didn't really keep with the flow of the narrative.
@@Jon_from_LI gosh, I'd actually forgotten about those until you mentioned it, that's right - about the mother statues, and migration across the Bering sea ....actually that's about all I can remember, you'll have to forgive me, it was about 2010 when I read them, I had to Google Ayla's love interest to find Jondalar's name, which was kept coming back to me as Joel lol. I agree though, I would have rather been fed that in a preface all at once, rather than how it was injected here and there, breaking up the flow of the story. The set I read belonged to my mum but she didn't have the sixth one, would you recommend it?....
Imala sam sve knjige od početka do "doline povratka,nju nisam imala,prije rata,u ratu smo morali upotrijebiti svu našu biblioteku Jer nismo imali struju,i to mi je bilo teško izložiti sve knjige da napravimo uštipke,poslije rata polako popunjavam biblioteku,i veoma me raduju nove knjige o Ejlinim i Džondalarovim pustolovinama.😢😅😊Riki.
I want to write the whole situation but I"ll just summarize. I tried to show this to my niece. Niece pitches a giant fit. Grandmother and I watch it. I then show grandmother Shanidar I and IV. She cries. I cry. Grandmother agrees niece needs to watch this movie. Someday.
She will keep walking until she finds her Valley. She will then find Whinney, Racer and Baby which subsequently will attack Thonolan, only to be rescued by Ayla. While nursing Thonolan and being hospitable to Jondalar she will discover Pleasures and her journey begins.
I'm sorry to tell you this is it. The movie was not well received, so no more were made. I always wanted to see the Mammoth Hunters come to life. It would most likely need to be a mini series. I hated the movie the first time. Now, decades later I'm more forgiving.
I don't know of any other books about prehistoric times, but if you like stories of survival, Island of the Blue Dolphins is short but good. The Gone series by Michael Grant is about kids under 14 having to survive on their own. It's set in modern day though. If it's Ayla's character you liked the most, the Graceling series by Kristin Cashore has similarly strong female leads who go against convention (set in a fictional world). None of those have graphic sex scenes though. 😂 Oh, and if you liked the feeling of an ancient and sometimes brutal culture, Lisa See's books set in ancient China are amazing: 'Peony in Love' and 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.' 😊
"The People of the..." series by this married couple. People of the Fox, People of the Wolf, People of the Owl, People of the Masks, People of the Lightning, etc. Each book follows a different tribe, clan, or nation from prehistoric North America. There's also Ivory & Bone by Julie Eshbaugh. The duology is for teens so there's no sex but it's in the same time period. There's also The Ivory Carver Trilogy, about the Aleut nation set waaay back. And then there's She Who Remembers by Linda Lay Shuler, which is a little more recent but still back before Columbus, I think. And this one is actually fantasy, but The Woman Who Loved Reindeer by Meredith Ann Pierce, which is an old novella from the 70s or 80s set in prehistoric times but with magic.
There is a series of 6 books by Jean Auel. Valley of the Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, all the way to the Painted Caves. Ayla does not live with the clan in the rest of the books, but they do come up here and there.
Bruce David ……. I met Ms. Hannah in person ! A real knockout ! Funny thing was, I never mentioned that I knew who she was or asked for an autograph; but somehow, she knew I KNEW . I like her politics, too. And now, she's married to Neil Young !
What great books that will never get the attention they deserve. I always look like a crazy person when I argue her in the baddest chick discussion. Sarah Conner Ripley Katniss they all just say who is that.
On some levels I could see why this book would appeal as a film (which I haven't seen); but there are a couple of important aspects that wouldn't translate to film. Firstly, Neanderthals cannot be accurately depicted by human actors as the former had no foreheads, and no amount of makeup or costuming could disguise these. Secondly, an audience would not tolerate the repeated rape of an 11 year-old girl by a 16 year-old young man (which does happen in the book). Even with today's CGI technology which could tackle the first problem, the script would have to be re-written to get around the second - which would defeat the story as there would have to be an alternate explanation for how Ayla became pregnant. Films by the subsequent books might translate well to film as all the characters are human, but a) without the stage having been set by the first book, subsequent films wouldn't make much sense (unless perhaps flashbacks were inserted), and b) the other books still contain a lot of VERY graphic sex scenes (which I could have done without), which would again have to be "implied" or otherwise written around to avoid NC-17 or X ratings.
For 3 days I had no name until my mother was watching this movie and she looked down and realised that Ayla was a fitting name for me. I'm so glad she choose that name for me, and for my 18th birthday she gave me the complete book series.

I would love to see a remake of the movie and maybe other movies based on the series!😊
Kinda like Enders game the movie. Good but also not 😫
Yes, an HBO series but they would have to pick unknown actors/actresses because I couldn't see it working otherwise.

It's hard to cram a book in a movie, that have to adapt it. They are rarely close to the books
Yeah but Durc was only 3 years old, he didn't understand
My name is Ayla, my mum had been reading the books when pregnant with me and had quite literally gotten into a fist fight with her cousin who was also pregnant and reading the books for the name lol.

Brun is the one who gives her the slight nod when she implores him to watch over Durc and keep him safe from Broud.

@@Jon_from_LI gosh, I'd actually forgotten about those until you mentioned it, that's right - about the mother statues, and migration across the Bering sea ....actually that's about all I can remember, you'll have to forgive me, it was about 2010 when I read them, I had to Google Ayla's love interest to find Jondalar's name, which was kept coming back to me as Joel lol.
I agree though, I would have rather been fed that in a preface all at once, rather than how it was injected here and there, breaking up the flow of the story.
The set I read belonged to my mum but she didn't have the sixth one, would you recommend it?....
Agree with you on how Ayla discovers so many things.
Imala sam sve knjige od početka do "doline povratka,nju nisam imala,prije rata,u ratu smo morali upotrijebiti svu našu biblioteku
Jer nismo imali struju,i to mi je bilo teško izložiti sve knjige da napravimo uštipke,poslije rata polako popunjavam biblioteku,i veoma me raduju nove knjige o Ejlinim i Džondalarovim pustolovinama.😢😅😊Riki.
Donde puedo ver esta película conpleta😢😢 gracias
How did I get here? Still this is pretty cool. And my names Ayla!
HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY NAME!?!?
Jokes. The name Ayla is quite rare. Anyone with the name is unique. (and supposedly as strong as an oak tree.)
Very great movie. Powerful
Imagine if Amazon remade this. If so, Ayla would be East Indian transgender while Creb would be a woman.
That sounds lovely, dear
I want to write the whole situation but I"ll just summarize. I tried to show this to my niece. Niece pitches a giant fit. Grandmother and I watch it. I then show grandmother Shanidar I and IV. She cries. I cry. Grandmother agrees niece needs to watch this movie. Someday.
I love this movie .
By the way, we are still very much like them. Maybe that is why we keep surviving even our own failings too.
i love this film
Well, my grand daughter is named this
I love the book and read all three books
loved the book
still reading tho
She will keep walking until she finds her Valley. She will then find Whinney, Racer and Baby which subsequently will attack Thonolan, only to be rescued by Ayla. While nursing Thonolan and being hospitable to Jondalar she will discover Pleasures and her journey begins.
I wouldn’t want to leave durk if he were mine but I would do it to protect him
You know read this book in 2002 I can't remember much but it goes in series very interesting book derived from cro magnon findings
very deep . also shows nit all people's created equal , she was if the others. more intelligent ,
It's a movie!?! I've been loving the books and there's a movie of it!?! Tell me there are movies for the rest of the books too?
Wild Daz there is not
I'm sorry to tell you this is it. The movie was not well received, so no more were made. I always wanted to see the Mammoth Hunters come to life. It would most likely need to be a mini series.
I hated the movie the first time. Now, decades later I'm more forgiving.
En dónde puedo encontrar la película completa del clan del oso cavernario, por su atención gracias espero respuesta
Un triste final recordado falta un remake de este éxito cinematográfico
Mi nombre es Ayla mi papá me lo puso PQ cuando estaba en Etiopía vio la película y dijo que cuando tuviera una niña la llamaría así ❤
I absolutely hate the movie compared to the book but this ending did great justice
I thought the intricacies of the clan were completely lost. Such beautiful people and ig didn't come through in the movie.
I love this book. It just captured my imagination and curiosity. Any books similiar to this?
I don't know of any other books about prehistoric times, but if you like stories of survival, Island of the Blue Dolphins is short but good. The Gone series by Michael Grant is about kids under 14 having to survive on their own. It's set in modern day though. If it's Ayla's character you liked the most, the Graceling series by Kristin Cashore has similarly strong female leads who go against convention (set in a fictional world). None of those have graphic sex scenes though. 😂 Oh, and if you liked the feeling of an ancient and sometimes brutal culture, Lisa See's books set in ancient China are amazing: 'Peony in Love' and 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.' 😊
Check out _Shaman_ by Kim Stanley Robinson. Set around same time as these.
"The People of the..." series by this married couple. People of the Fox, People of the Wolf, People of the Owl, People of the Masks, People of the Lightning, etc. Each book follows a different tribe, clan, or nation from prehistoric North America.
There's also Ivory & Bone by Julie Eshbaugh. The duology is for teens so there's no sex but it's in the same time period.
There's also The Ivory Carver Trilogy, about the Aleut nation set waaay back.
And then there's She Who Remembers by Linda Lay Shuler, which is a little more recent but still back before Columbus, I think.
And this one is actually fantasy, but The Woman Who Loved Reindeer by Meredith Ann Pierce, which is an old novella from the 70s or 80s set in prehistoric times but with magic.
There is a series of 6 books by Jean Auel. Valley of the Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, all the way to the Painted Caves. Ayla does not live with the clan in the rest of the books, but they do come up here and there.
She's definitely a 10
still today
smart,FUNNY and a GREAT ACTRESS
Bruce David ……. I met Ms. Hannah in person ! A real knockout ! Funny thing was, I never mentioned that I knew who she was or asked for an autograph; but somehow, she knew I KNEW . I like her politics, too. And now, she's married to Neil Young !
What great books that will never get the attention they deserve. I always look like a crazy person when I argue her in the baddest chick discussion. Sarah Conner Ripley Katniss they all just say who is that.
An SJW'S say there haven't been any Female lead hero movies. Well here is ANOTHER to add to the list of Hundreds.
Screw the haters I love this movie.
Como puedo verla toda
Leggete tutti i libri ,sono pazzeschi❤
er zijn nog 5 boekken tijd voor meer films
does anyone know the name of the river valley in which this scene was filmed ??? Thanx in advance
It's good. I like it.
I have all 6 books and have read them 5 times. The books are way better than the video
There is a prehistoric blond woman in the game Chrono Trigger. I’m guessing this may be the inspiration for her. Funny enough her name is also Ayla
And what's the character's name?
@@Jon_from_LI oh it’s Ayla as well, guess I should’ve mentioned that lol
On some levels I could see why this book would appeal as a film (which I haven't seen); but there are a couple of important aspects that wouldn't translate to film. Firstly, Neanderthals cannot be accurately depicted by human actors as the former had no foreheads, and no amount of makeup or costuming could disguise these. Secondly, an audience would not tolerate the repeated rape of an 11 year-old girl by a 16 year-old young man (which does happen in the book). Even with today's CGI technology which could tackle the first problem, the script would have to be re-written to get around the second - which would defeat the story as there would have to be an alternate explanation for how Ayla became pregnant.
Films by the subsequent books might translate well to film as all the characters are human, but a) without the stage having been set by the first book, subsequent films wouldn't make much sense (unless perhaps flashbacks were inserted), and b) the other books still contain a lot of VERY graphic sex scenes (which I could have done without), which would again have to be "implied" or otherwise written around to avoid NC-17 or X ratings.
They could just allude to it. They have done movies where little kids are molested before without showing it on-screen.
Allusions are great. You don't have to show the graphic content.
He moved her moist petals aside... not very graphic :)
Ponganla completa, por favorrrrrrr y en español.
Sounded like she said 'Uber' in her dialogue.....that's pretty forward thinking for that time period!
hm.. when she left durc forever creb died before too? like iza..
The female shapeshifter from DS9?
Nothing like the book
DARRYL HANNAH!!!
I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid.
Or rather: I remember seeing the rape scene when I was a kid.
Why did she leave her family???
Esse filme é muito bom 😑 Excelente.
Está mil veces mejor el libro, cambia mucho la película!
Did they make movies of all of the books?
No, only the first one.
Is that narrator Salome Jens? Sounds like her.
