Known as "Wolf Totem", which is known as the most difficult novel to adapt, the film has delivered a neat answer that can remove the dross. Humans’ awe of nature and reflection on the laws of environmental conservation are the simple and unpretentious melody. In the vast grassland that is stunning and beautiful, the rendering of the wolf is extremely charming, but the other side of the movie is the lack of plot structure. The emotion of the characters feels pale under the contrast of the wolf.



There is no denying that "Wolf Totem" is indeed a magnificent masterpiece in the history of Chinese film. The visual sense of the perfect fit between the natural supernatural craftsmanship and the special effects of the film industry, while admiring the beauty of nature, the world of man and wolf As if within reach, as the French director Jean Jacques Arnault who has directed the classic animal drama film "The Bear's Tale", he has truly turned wolves into a group of outstanding actors in the film. In the face of the war between the horses and the horses, which are being pressed for revenge by humans, and the rebellious and rebellious people who are finally killed and perished by humans, its multi-angle and three-dimensional presentation of wolves and wolves incisively and vividly makes the legend of the wolf and the wolf that can only retain words. , There is a near-real experience in the light and shadow filming room.



This is a more advanced film than the original. The movie version of "Wolf Totem" sets out the unrealistic fiction of the original and completely discards the absurd and ignorant fallacy. It is replaced by the words of the elder of Mongolian herder Bilig , Which tells the human beings’ awe and conservation of nature. The film focuses on the economic difficulties during the Cultural Revolution, and the radical revolutionary cadres who did not understand the importance of maintaining the conservation of nature’s unrestrained claim and destruction of the grasslands are inherent The destruction of the grassland ecosystem has just led to the wolves’ harassment and revenge on humans and animals. The conception of nature protection and sustainable development is the core argument that runs through the film adaptation, and the "wolf totem" is in the real Mongolian pastoral area. The fictional cultural phenomenon is only mentioned in the beginning of the film. The long-cherished wish of the harmonious coexistence of human, animal and nature is the positive energy that the film has placed on Huai Jinwuyu.

If it is said that even wolves in the movie show extremely superb acting skills, the lack of human drama undoubtedly reduces the emotional rendering of the movie to only appearances. The unpretentious evaluation of "Wolf Totem" is not an absolute praise. The construction and transition of emotions between characters Quite abruptly in the movie, Feng Shaofeng's educated youth Chen Zhen lacks foreplay to pave the way for his obsession with wolves, as if it is not the wolf that attracts him, but the seductive glamorous fox, which stems from the criticism that the original work has been deleted from the movie. , But failed to create a new self-justification that belongs to oneself. It is still only based on the original text, and the original depiction of the evil effects of destroying nature has also been omitted. Although the beautiful ending can give people a reverie, it is for a film that was originally intended to protect nature. , The retreat of the evil fruit undoubtedly makes it lack the depth of the last shovel.



"Wolf Totem" is unpretentious. Jean Jacques Arnold presented a lively environmental preaching in the most authentic form. The mysterious and colorful grassland and the thrilling battle between men and wolves are enough to be a flaw. The legend.
