Revolutionaries fall into two main types: the romantic and the quasi-religious zealot. Danton, as envisioned by Wajda and Writer Jean-Claude Carrière (Buñuel's sometime collaborator) and brilliantly portrayed by Gérard Depardieu, is the former. Lazy, sensual and, above all, egocentric, he believes that he need do nothing but raise his famed orator's voice in order to bring the people to the counterrevolutionary barricades. Convinced of his own star qualities, he neglects to look back to see if anyone is actually following him or, despite warnings, to take practical steps...

Annaud (who won a 1978 Oscar for Black and White in Color) and Screenwriter Gérard Brach have also overtaxed the audience's credulity by dropping virtually every advance of paleolithic civilization into the furry laps of the three Ulam. During their trek, they not only learn how to start a fire but increase their vocabulary, discover rudimentary artworks and make love in the missionary...
...fleeing their country to escape poverty, not repression, and are thus not eligible to be admitted as political refugees. Others believe that many of the refugees are indeed entitled to political asylum, and cite evidence of those returned being beaten and tortured in Haitian prisons. As Father Gérard Jean-Juste, a Haitian exile leader, puts it, "There's a song being sung in Haiti now: 'The teeth of the sharks are sweeter than Duvalier's hell...
