Loved it. But then again I love them all. Walking with dinosaurs. Walking with beasts. A beautiful combination of sound research, educated guesses and artistic license.

But they all raise new and puzzling questions.

In this case why did the T Rex SHAPE die out? The triceratops shape re evolved as the modern rhinoceros and ankylasorous as the modern tortoise. In the first age of mammals (walking with beasts) even the T Rex shape re evolved in the form of huge predatory birds.

But, after that, all of the top land predators went from hunting, almost exclusively, on two legs, to hunting only on four. The bear is the only modern carnivore that walks upright.

Really strange???

It just struck me where I'd seen this film before and it wasn't a film. It was a newspaper article and it involved interviews with abused prostitutes. The interviewer quoted a figure of 95% when she talked about the number who had been abused. But all of her data came from the shelter which was specifically set up, by the local church, to protect abused prostitutes. Non abused prostitutes avoided it.

The films shot only within the walls are not enough to be disturbing. They don't cross the barrier. Or, more accurately they cross it too suddenly. OUtside are husbands, and wives, who are more interested in sex than in violence. Outside, are battered husbands who can't and wont talk about it. Outside, in the hospitals are battered men. For every woman who is bashed by a man, for any reason, something like twenty men are also bashed by other men.

The film talks about these women discovering their self worth only in the refuges. It doesn't cover the reasons for the womens lack of self worth before that. Modern women do not live in fishbowls. They are out and about like everyone else. Why do they only discover self worth in these places.???

Too limited. The film also needs to be slotted into the whole picture of society in general.
