Cheers to the dogs

Although there is a bit of gender dislocation now (see Supergirl and Good Boy) and people's aesthetics have changed, the 3B (Beauty, Beast, Baby) principle is still in force, so Eight Below ("Antarctic Adventure") can provoke It's no surprise that the audience likes it.

Eight Below is translated into "minus 8 degrees" in many places, but it is very strange that the temperature of the South Pole is almost minus 25 degrees, so I guess it may be the meaning of eight dogs in the South Pole. The movie seems to say that the South Pole is under the earth.

The story is divided into two lines, one is the ideological struggle of people, and the other is the independent survival of dogs. Jerry Shepard is a staff member at the NSF (US Antarctic Research Station), and he is responsible for guiding the scientific expeditions. Davis McClaren is a scientist who came to Antarctica to look for meteorites. During the search for meteorites, they encountered a blizzard, and a dog rescued them. However, when they were evacuating, they could not take the dog with them due to the space problem of the plane. When they were able to return to pick up the dog, Jerry and the others evacuated the inspection site, but due to the worsening weather, they could no longer go back to pick up the dog.

So, after waiting for a long time, the dogs broke free from the chains (except poor old Jack), they began to survive independently, preying on seabirds by themselves and competing with leopards and sea lions for food, they spent half a year in the ice and snow. It took a lot of time; on the other hand, Jerry gave up on himself and gave up looking for the snow dog when he failed to seek help. He also began to believe that the group of dogs had died in the bad weather. Until he visited the snow dog trainer, a few words from the old man made him fight again, even if it was a corpse, he would find it back. And Davis began to feel guilty because of a painting of his son (Dogs saved my daddy), so several people finally got together again. When they picked up the 6 surviving dogs, many people's eyes were wet.

Those cute, brave, loyal, united, intelligent and wise snow dogs plus a sentence inspired by a true story before the film made the audience's impression of the film immediately increased a lot. Except for the scary part of the leopard and sea lion, this film is very suitable for filming. From the perspective of children, if there is an animal OSCAR Best Show Award, then the winner must be this group of great protagonists - 8 snow dogs.

The movie is about the survival of a dog, and the activities of a human being intertwined. Every time I see the survival of a dog, I pray that the group of people will not be filmed again. It is enough to have this group of protagonists. Humans seem a little hypocritical, and these dogs are the real greatness. I prefer this film to be a documentary, only the dogs are in action.

The scenery of the ice and snow is very beautiful, especially when the dog is watching the Southern Lights, he really has the urge to set off to the South Pole immediately, but the sound effect feels average, and the effect of the ice crack is 108,000 miles away from the beginning of "The Day After Tomorrow". .

This film is perfect for the whole family to enjoy, let's start learning from dogs!

    I have absolutely no resistance to this kind of warm drama

    There is too little interaction between humans and dogs, although there is still some indirect interaction.
