Imagine your plane crashed in no man's land, this vast wasteland, how do you survive and be rescued? "The snow walker" starring Barry Pepper is such a tribute to life.

Charlie, a bohemian pilot who began to doubt his own life after experiencing the blood of war. In an accidental plane accident, he and his passenger, a sick Inuit girl, crashed into the vast arctic tundra. Two people with language barriers and different life backgrounds begin to seek survival in this lonely world.

Although some people laugh at the male protagonist's ability to survive in the wild, I think this is the real feeling of the film, after all, not all men are like Rambo. It was indescribably shocking to see the dilemmas facing Charlie. I had to imagine if I could survive in such a world. I admit that I watched this film so much that every cough of Kannalaq touched my nerves, and I prayed for her in my heart, looking forward to a miracle. But God never hears the prayers of the pagans, the scarlet blood spews out, my heart is broken...

The film is adapted from the short story "Walk well my brother" by Farley Mowat, the novel's The name should come from the phrase Kannalaq called "brother" to Charlie before his death-the kind of transformation between people from dependence to family affection shown in the desperate situation of life is very moving.

To be precise, this film is not sensational, and the director has edited many places that easily make the audience cry, so the whole film presents us with praise for strong life and harmonious coexistence between people in different backgrounds. perfect imagination.

The flaw is that the rescue outside the main line is cumbersome and makes the whole film confusing in understanding.

PS Friends who have seen "Green Mile/Green Miracle" should still remember two familiar actors: the leading actor Barry Pepper and the supporting role James Cromwell, who played the prisoner and the warden respectively in the "Green" film.

The Snow Walker quotes

  • Kanaalaq: Walk well, my brother.

  • Shepherd: Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air... Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or even eagle flew - And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
