Interesting idea, but I almost think that cave art and fire are opposites from movies as we know them. That sort of dramatic, dimly lit experience, in a cave, elicits a response from a seer, drawing on their own idea of what's in the image. Nothing is very specific and none of it moves or speaks. It's a lot like a Rorschach ink blot, where there is no explicit content, only what the person who sees it supplies.
On the other hand, movie makers spend millions of dollars on images, music and sounds that tell you exactly not just what to see, but what to hear and how to feel too. If the image isn't dramatic enough by itself, the musical soundtrack steps in to inform you about the emotional content of the scene. You know that the perpetrator drove a '58 Lincoln and that the victim wore a red dress. There's very little psychological projection in the movie, a lot in the cave drama while there's a lot of specific information in the movie and only suggestions in the cave drama.
