I thought it was a documentary, but when I opened it, I found out that it was a warm family film. The tone of the whole film was very similar to "Fly With Me". On Sunday night, watching the film with Haibei, who was under one year old, was very warm.
On the South African savannah, animals die every day. The cheetahs at the top of the food chain are no exception. They were killed by higher-end lions, leaving behind ignorant little cheetahs waiting to be fed. Fortunately, the little cheetah met Sean and his father. Duma, who is cute and cute like a kitten, stayed at Sain's house and spent a happy childhood with him.
Happy time always flies, and the little cheetah grows up so fast that it is not suitable for feeding at home. When Dad proposed to send the little cheetah back to the grassland, he unfortunately took the lead. The original plan to say goodbye to Duma turned out to be a goodbye to his father. Father's departure made it difficult for mother to live on the farm, and mother took Shane to the city. The little boy and the little cheetah, who are out of tune with the city life, embarked on the road home together.
The story of the film takes place on the way home. One person and one leopard walked on the primitive grassland, and met the black Rip on the way. From the mutual distrust at the beginning to the final settlement between the two, Rip gave up the idea of ​​selling the cheetah and walked all the way south with Sain. In the end, it was not only Shane and Duma who walked home, but also Rip, who had been away from home for many years.
Such a section of the way home was both shocking and warm. On the way, he encountered crocodiles, lions, and hippos. Rip was even attacked by swarms of threshing mosquitoes, and his life was hanging by a thread. This is not only a way to go home, but also a way for Duma to find his own identity and Rip to return to his own identity.
to give is better than to receive. Sain is the biggest gainer of this trip: he came out of the haze of his father's unexpected death and untied his heart; bid farewell to Duma, who has been with him for a long time, and received Rui again. Pure friendship; and in the end, when he returns to the farm, instead of the empty big farm, he sees his mother dressed in denim, reaping the harvest like Dad used to do. Mom also returned to her old life.
A wave of life, the wind blows, the wind goes away, and life continues to return to peace.

Duma quotes

  • Xan: Love doesn't stop when time passes, or you live in different places, or sombody's gone.

    Xan: That's how it was with me and Duma.

  • [last lines]

    Xan: [voiceover narration] There are things you know without knowing. For Duma, it was his wildness. For Rip, his family. For me, it was my dad. Everything he was, everything he believed in is now part of me. I was taking Duma home, but he took me somewhere too. Finding Duma's true home brought me back to mine and showed me that love doesn't stop when time passes or you live in different places or somebody's gone. That's how it was with me and Duma.
