Watch "Togo" at the moment of the epidemic.
This drama is adapted from real events. In 1925, a small town in Noam, Alaska, USA, suffered an outbreak of diphtheria. The closest city to Nome, where the life-saving diphtheria serum is stored, is 955 miles away. The road was blocked by heavy snow, and the diphtheria serum could only be delivered by train 674 miles from the town of Nome. Togo and its dog buddies stepped forward, and the sled team completed the delivery. "Togo" was named after Japanese Admiral Higashihachiheihachiro, and when the serum traveled through central and northern Alaska to Nome in 1925, it traveled 264 miles (an average of 31 miles for the other 19 teams).
Diphtheria, diphtheria (diphtheria) is an acute respiratory infection caused by diphtheria bacillus . It is characterized by fever, suffocation, hoarseness, canine barking cough, and white pseudomembranes in the pharynx, tonsils and surrounding tissues. In severe cases, symptoms of systemic poisoning are obvious, and myocarditis and peripheral nerve palsy may be complicated. I think this can be understood as an intractable disease like smallpox in modern times, and it can also be compared with the new coronavirus we are currently in contact with. It is the kind of disease that will die if it is not treated in time.
The story takes place in Nome, Alaska, close to the Arctic Circle. Several children have died under the influence of diphtheria. Everyone discussed to get the serum. At the beginning of the film, it was explained from Togo's violation of his own habits for twelve years that the upcoming snowstorm is a once-in-a-hundred-year natural disaster, paving the way for the subsequent plot of transportation serum. The male protagonist Sepala was ordered to transport serum under the influence of diphtheria infection. Although I was aware of the difficulty of the matter and refused, I kept panting in my heart and decided to go after watching the sick child. In fact, I think the male protagonist here is more worried about Togo because Togo is already 12 years old. The road is long and difficult .
After going on the road, there are many scenes of Togo’s childhood and growing up in the story, which also prevents the film from worrying about it all the time. I think this is very good. If you have been worried about depression, it is actually very uncomfortable. The first paragraph in the middle is that Togo was very weak after he was born. The heroine did not give up on him. The hero's idea is to compete with natural choices and survive the fittest. It is like a strict father who is not optimistic about his children. Repeatedly echoed the love and dissatisfaction of the heroine to Togo. The second part is giving away. After the survival crisis, Togo has become a troublesome puppy. Here, Erha’s nature is fully expressed, but it also shows that he is smart and was sent away twice. All finally came back as hoped, and finally was selected by the male lead for the sled team, from the last to the head dog, and won the sled race championship.
Over the snowy mountains in the first level, I got a recognition here. I started to think that I was just running on the snow, but it was not. The road in the middle was very difficult and dangerous. The first danger came, and it was a big downhill when it crossed the snow-capped mountains. Although Togo stopped in time and did not fall, the other dogs were already stuck on the edge of the cliff. In the end, Togo was crying for help from the hero. He led the dog team to climb again and passed the first level. , At this time Togo had injured his left front leg, and the distance was still far away.
The second level is also a classic one, which is to cross the glacier. In order to save time, the solution here is not only the time to get the serum but also the time of Togo, because the protagonist deeply knows that Togo’s time is running out, and if Without Togo, then the male protagonist is about to die on the road. In the process of crossing the ice river, as the dog team passed by, the river did not have frozen solid ice and cracked. Fortunately, Togo sprinted all the way. risk. This will also play a role in the difficulty of returning later.
I passed several inns on the way, basically describing the people's recognition of Togo and their worries about Togo's age.
All the way forward, I met the team that escorted the serum, and the hero returned after receiving the serum. It is also the most thrilling scene of the whole film. After crossing the strait, the strait has already been split once, so the difficulty is even more difficult. Race against time all the way, seeing the shore but because the river melts too far to get to the shore, the man finally The owner threw Togo on the shore, leaning on Togo himself and pulled it on the shore, and finally pulled the entire ice cube and the dog team on the ice and the male lead ashore. It can be said that this is an impossible task, and I look distressed. This is also the highest point of the whole play, and the whole heart will be caught.
Afterwards, spent the night at the station and continued on the road. The male lead wanted Togo to sit on the sled, but Togo ran down again and again. In the end, Togo took the lead on the road and continued to climb the snow-capped mountains. After the snow mountain came down, people’s sight was blocked due to the wind and snow, so they had to hand over the task of recognizing the road to Togo. The scene of worry also came. With the wind and snow and the journey, the male protagonist gradually passed out, and when he woke up I found that the dog team stopped and all the dogs were lying down. The male owner was scared. He was afraid that the most worried thing would happen. He ran to Togo. Togo was also exhausted and couldn't get up. Fortunately, Togo led the way. The next step is not far from the station, and with the assistance of the station, this difficulty has also been passed.
Finally, when the other escorts arrived, the serum was sent back, and the honor went to others. But there is nothing more important than Togo's life at this time. Just when we all thought Togo would not be able to hold on this time, Togo recovered again.
But Togo’s injured leg and his age can’t make the male lead take it to work anymore. It’s very touching here. It’s like an old man who has no choice but to stay at home and watch his relatives go away, but Togo still He rushed out and caught up with the male lead with its three legs. In the end, it was the time to come. Togo left in one year and four months.
The whole article is a testament to Togo Erha’s ability to be a dog. Personally, from the male protagonist’s view of Togo, it reflects the importance of positive parental guidance and education for many children during their early childhood. The first time I write a film review is not good, lightly spray, I hope to provide more valuable comments.
