Let Disney do "Antarctic Adventure", it is destined that this film will be very clean, it seems that the content for children will always have charitable love, I have to admit that such a film looks very relaxing, after watching it There will be no psychological burden after that, but after all, because of the producer, the original bloody story eventually turned into an understated romance.
The plot of the film comes from the true story of the Japanese Antarctic Expedition Mission in 1957, which was filmed as "Antarctic Story" in 1983, starring the tough guy Ken Takakura. However, that is not to create a more man and cooler Ken Takakura, but the spiritual repentance of human beings collectively paying tribute to those dozen sled dogs. More than 20 years have passed, and when the memory is covered with dust, an understated romance is left behind. I don't mean to say anything critical of Frank Marshall here, but to say it was an adventure would be a cover-up of the harsh polar conditions. The two-hour film was actually calm under the director's hands, and we all know the outcome of the film, so we really can't let go of this kind of treatment.
Judging from the two main lines of the film, one is the efforts of human beings to return to the Antarctic to rescue sled dogs, and the other is the process of sled dogs saving themselves in the polar environment. In fact, I really want to say how human beings contain passion and must return to the agreed place to rescue the sled dogs. In fact, there is nothing to say in this film, but under the emphasis and hint of the director, humans have surpassed the sled dogs. , became the protagonist of the film. With the help of the sled dogs, they were able to survive the ice cave and return to the camp from the blizzard, but in the end they abandoned the sled dogs and even tied them up to make it harder for them to survive. If someone said that this was an accident, I would agree. After all, no matter how much you love animals, humans who escape will always ensure their own safety first. For the convenience of management, tying sled dogs is the most labor-saving choice. Unexpectedly, the blizzard will get bigger and bigger in the end. In the case of neither money nor power, there is no way to go back to rescue the sled dogs. Humans are bound to make mistakes, but I always feel that I should not make mistakes and then whitewash the greatness of redemption. This is the debt that humans owe to sled dogs. When humans are in danger, no sled dog abandons humans. Spiritual leader Maya is in danger of falling into the biting ice water when she carefully climbs to the professor in the ice cave. , but she did not back down and completed the task beautifully. Old Jack's foot was injured and bleeding constantly while running, but he didn't drag his companions back because of his old age, and kept running hard all the time. There are countless details like this, and there is no way for people not to be moved by them, but on the other hand, what kind of sacrifices have they made in addition to being powerless? Maybe the sled dog's breeder said there is still a little confession in it: "You should go back, this is what they deserve!" Instead of emphasizing the reason, but using their own actions to repay the sled dog's loyalty, this is the only way It's what humans should do. But at the end of the movie, six of the eight sled dogs survived, and the protagonist actually said that there is no better ending than this. From the beginning to the end, we can hardly see the guilt of human beings for leaving the sled dog alone, and they are complacent and proud of returning to the Antarctic, believing that they saved the sled dog, but humans have become the greatest protagonist. This is really true Makes it a little ridiculous. This can't help but remind people of the movie "Saving Private Ryan". What is great salvation, what is selfless dedication, and what makes a hero? Comparing the two films, everyone will have a clear understanding in their hearts. 's answer. In this so-called "adventure", which is always full of laughter and laughter, the love of the protagonist has been achieved and he has been comforted.
Then we look at the performance of the sled dogs. In the process, three generations of sled dogs' leaders have alternated: from old Jack to Maya to Max. Old Jack did not break free from the belt buckle at the beginning. Some people said that he was too old to break free, but it was clear that the other sled dogs were freed with the help of their companions. As long as Old Jack had such a will, the same Maya's help is available. But we see Maya walking past him, reluctantly respecting his choice. This is Old Jack's way of expressing his loyalty and perseverance to human beings. He stayed at the agreed origin and waited for human rescue. When other sled dogs were running around, he always insisted on his own choice. Isn't this a kind of trustworthiness? Then Maya fulfilled her promise in another way. The task she accepted was to manage everyone and maintain a formation everywhere. Therefore, she leads everyone to hunt together and distribute the spoils fairly, so that most of her companions can survive in the harsh Antarctic environment. While Dewey was playing, Maya also guarded him until the last moment of Dewey's life when he fell off the ice and died. At that moment, Max also showed his leadership potential. Even if Maya had given up on Dewey, Max would continue to guard Dewey and be unwilling to give up. The final battle with the tiger seal fully demonstrated Max's wisdom and courage, whether it was competing with the tiger seal for food, or slightly provocatively tearing a large piece of meat from the whale carcass to provoke Tiger Seal, so as to draw him away so that his mates can feast, makes people think that he is really a good guy with courage and strategy. Of course, in this battle, Maya was accidentally injured. Without knowing when humans will come to the rescue, the calm Maya began to arrange her own funeral, and she decided to assign Max as her successor. There is a very sacred scene in the film. The sled dogs put their prey in front of the injured Maya. Maya stands up and puts the spoils at Max's feet. The young Max insists on returning the power, but Maya has her own The other sled dogs accepted their share and left, only Max still insisted on waiting by Maya's side. We saw injury and death in the film, but we saw that the sled dogs did not lose their minds like humans. They always adhere to their principles and live together in an orderly organization. In fact, life in Antarctica is far from being so poetic. Survival in real life is actually much harsher, which is why That's why in reality only two of those sled dogs survived. We are often heartbroken by such a reality, and we do not have the courage to accept it again, so instead of criticizing the commercialization of "Antarctic Adventure", it is better to reflect on our fragile heart.
Might as well look at this movie in this way, maybe "Antarctic Adventure" is a good wish after more than 20 years, we no longer need to use a naturalistic method to review the tragedy, but to use a kind of A beautiful dream means to undo an irreversible human error. But I always feel that no matter what, the protagonists of the movie should and can only be the heroic sled dogs, and we can't have a little abrupt and contemptuous thoughts except to pay tribute to them. Human beings are actually the biggest pests in the world, they have nothing to give but to take from everything.
