Clan of the cave bear movie1/9/2024 ![]() In the book, she was only fourteen by the end of the novel and didn't reach her twenties until the last book. Age Lift: Ayla appears to be in her twenties, or possibly her late teens, during the second half of the movie (Daryl Hannah was about 25 during filming).Other than that though, Daryl Hannah's appearance is pretty accurate to how Ayla is described in her late teens and twenties. In the books, she's described as having light blonde hair as a little girl but it later darkens to a golden blonde color (sometimes compared to the color of ripe hay). Adaptation Dye-Job: Throughout the film Ayla is depicted with pale, almost white blonde hair.note In the book Ayla (who is around ten years old) is formally declared an adult after she survives the death curse and it's this that gives Broud the idea of sexually assaulting her, because Clan women are expected to submit to any man who shows interest and he can't think of other ways to hurt and humiliate her that won't get him in trouble in the film Ayla's already a young adult due to her receiving an Age Lift, so it's a bit of a moot point. In the film the whole horrible situation with Broud occurs before Ayla saves Brac and she's already pregnant at this time. In the book Broud starts sexually assaulting Ayla after she's publicly revealed to have been using a sling and temporarily cursed (which makes him come off as even more of an asshole considering she saved his son's life). Adaptation Distillation: Likely to make things simpler and shorten the run time, the circumstances surrounding Ayla saving Brac and being temporarily cursed with death for using a sling, Broud raping Ayla and Ayla's subsequent pregnancy occur in a different order, while keeping the main plot points intact.In the film he's instead attacked by a wolf (probably because tame wolves were easier to obtain for the filmmakers than tame hyenas). In the book Brac is attacked by a hyena, leading to Ayla developing an knee-jerk dislike of hyenas as she associates them with negative things. ![]() Ayla being banished from the Clan for one month for using a weapon still occurs, but it now happens during her pregnancy with Durc, instead of before.
