Use a sentence "Youth Edition Revenant" to get the audience's clicks, this film hurts the audience deeply~
Because after watching the film, you will feel that it is not as thrilling and exciting as the real "The Revenant", surviving in danger, but with a simple and extremely simple plot to spell it perfectly, "Alpha: The Wolf's Homecoming" is its final name.
I believe that viewers who have watched "The Revenant" will still remember the photo below. The protagonist, Glass, survived the great pain of his dead son and finally got his revenge. In the film, when he carried his dead son on his back, he tried his best and roared hysterically, walking home step by step, with the remaining hunter-like will to support him.
In the above scene, Xiao Ai captured a similar scene in "Alpha: The Wolf's Homecoming", that is, the protagonist Koda came into the wind and snow with the Alpha who depended on him, the same full of hope, the same hunter's will.
Because of the difference between adults and teenagers, we see that "Alpha: The Return of the Wolf" is not so mature, but the whole film reveals a hint of youthfulness and modernity.
But this is the life of a teenager, a leader of a new era, that needs to evolve, isn't it?
What kind of story is "Alpha: Homecoming with the Wolf"?
The story begins with the protagonist Keda's birthday ceremony. It is strange to say that this tribe's adult ceremony is a strange one. After all, every adult teenager has sharpened a qualified bone knife. If he passes the test, this person must be beaten to complete it. The whole ceremony, the reason is as follows:
It's a very strange kind of attention, which reminds Xiao Ai that joining the beggar gang needs to go through the "saliva gift", but this is in line with the traditional customs of wild hunters.
In the wilderness era, everything seems very primitive, including drilling wood to make fire, stone tools, hunting and survival, and the most important thing for them is the blessing of the adult ceremony - God will protect them!
The coming-of-age ceremony is particularly important to other tribes, and Koda is worthy of being the protagonist. From his father's halo to his special preference throughout the journey, people can see that he grew up under the care of him, and as his mother said, You can lead others with kindness.
So much so that he followed the tribe to hunt, did not dare to kill the bound wild boar, and was afraid of crossing the forest, which made Koda's cowardice and kindness on the road, which made people feel uninteresting.
Until the tribe was in a large-scale hunting, Koda was knocked off the cliff by the bison because he couldn't dodge in time, and fell unconscious on the cliff. No matter how the father on the cliff shouted, the only response to him was the bleak mountain wind, and he also left behind a screen full of people. Sadness and regret.
This may be their destiny. As a hunter, you will experience far more suffering than this. If you can't overcome it, your life will end when you return home.
Of course, as the protagonist, Korda will not die easily, but after being in a coma for two days and two nights, he was woken up by a vulture. When he woke up, he called his father for the first time but did not respond. He dragged his injured leg and fell into a thrilling fall again. The cliff, which coincided with the rising water, saved his life.
It can only be said that he was so lucky that the water retreated and left you alive. After waking up, Keda also fixed his own bones, climbed the cliff and saw his stone grave, crying and screaming!
Maybe it was the stubbornness in his bones or the fulfillment of the words of another tribal leader. Koda decided to go home by himself, and the subsequent ending also proved to us that the leader's father did open a small stove for you, the stone pagoda road sign during the day and the Big Dipper at night. I drew it for you.
On the way back, Koda can really say that he has experienced ninety-eighty-one hardships, and just used "I want to make you proud" to convince himself that he was not abandoned.
One's way home, drinking muddy water
One's way home, eating live insects
A person's way home, sleeping with a dead wood fork
Later, with Alpha, adhering to his immortal benevolence, he returned to help the wolf who tried to eat him. Treating Alpha's wounds, feeding water, and feeding rabbit meat makes him appear strong. This is to forget his vicious rabbit-killing stone!
Xiao Ai thought that Koda should comfort herself like this: Although the knife was stabbed by herself, it was too defensive, which is understandable!
When the second protagonist of this film appeared, Korda's life became greasy!
Hunting together, swimming together, sleeping together, even Alpha's family came to look for it, but it couldn't be worth the months of love between Koda and it!
Here, I really want to complain about Kodak~ I was very determined in front of Alpha's two drives, but this time I met Alpha on the way, like a life-saving straw, and the fact is that He accidentally fell into the ice cave, and Alpha rescued him at a critical moment, so the wolf started a new way back.
Thinking that Koda is coming home soon~ So the screenwriter arranged the ultimate copy of Koda and Alpha, first going through a baptism of wind and snow, then facing the pursuit of hounds, and then fighting the leopard for life and death, the last wolf One person returned to the tribe with a battered body and found his parents.
In order to celebrate this happy ending, this film specially left a surprise. It turned out that the Alpha brought back by Koda was a first female wolf, and gave birth to a group of cubs, so there was such a spectacular scene.
And such a warm scene below, did Alpha surrender to the black wolf in order to save Koda and leave with the wolves?
With such doubts, Xiao Ai once again examines the other side of this film - the magnificent visual beauty.
Koda was knocked off a cliff by a bison, Alpha's strenuous leap, and the hordes of beasts were interspersed in the simple and meaningful plot, which instantly raised the grade of the whole film, allowing the interpretation of just one and a half hours , which is very enjoyable both visually and audibly.
The combination of alpine wilderness looks poignant but magnificent.
The snow is falling all over the sky, looking cold but full of challenges.
On a starry night, it looks directionless but there are many guiding stars.
There is too much natural beauty in this film to check and enjoy! If you have to say all this double-sided beauty, it is the beauty of the plot other than the visual beauty. Compared with those films that are linked together, this film uses a minimalist plot to narrate the story, but it does not seem cumbersome. Greasy, not saving any magazine freshness, and this is what a teenage reveler should have - unswervingly moving towards a goal.
