Everything in this movie seems to be pretty accurate. Wiped of technology societal roles take hold. The keeper of resources, the power, the bartering (which you know is exactly what would happen, ancient tribes still use this system), slave labor, etc.

Religion and faith even play into the movie which I'm sure would happen as well.

Thoughts?

Two men enter one man leaves.





I always try to say that when a couple of my co-workers are in a heated disagreement.

If civilization collapses, the world will become a lot smaller, and power will exist (as it always does) along the lines of who is able to defend their community.

So if civilization collapses we will be reduced to wearing leather chaps and football shoulder pads?

Sounds fair.

But where do the lines of being able to defend a community and resources collide?

This movie seems to mimic all kinds of tribe behavior. Resources (food, water, shelter, labor) and who controls it. I really think it is a fairly accurate depection of what could/would happen.

In the movie there are many tribal references in the opening scenes - tatooing, grooming, being accepted into the tribe, etc.

My own theory of the films is that the world had already bounced back and became a veritable utopia. It's just that nobody wanted to tell Australia.
