The protagonist of the story, Buck, is a dog with strong bones and a strong body. Originally living a pampered life in the judge's house, it was stolen by the gardener and sold to the cold Alaska to become a sled dog. Nonetheless, Buck's turbulent fate did not end there, and it went through several owners who treated Buck brutally and ruthlessly. Not only that, but Buck went through a huge challenge to keep his place among the dogs. This time, John became Buck's new owner. Fortunately, John was a kind man who not only treated Buck very gently, but also healed his scarred body. Over time, a solid friendship developed between the man and the dog. However, in an accident, John is killed by the Indians, and a furious Buck decides to avenge his master. Buck is played by actors and uses cg motion capture technology, so that Buck in the movie can do a lot of actions that dogs can't do. Returning to the plot itself, if you have read the original work, you will most likely be disappointed, because excessive sensationalism will not only make people feel greasy, but too much space to reflect Buck's "superpower" rather than quality is more difficult to really impress the audience. In short Not a successful adaptation. Compared with the loyal dog Hachiko, which was adapted from a true story, the biggest difference is that he lost the core of the story, which seemed deliberate and without warmth.
