An extraordinary dog, this is probably the best interpretation of Buck. And because he came from a novel and was adapted into a movie, the plot in it was somewhat dramatic in my eyes. In addition, after reading the film reviews before, I learned that the motion capture of this dog still comes from real actors, but the effect presented is a little blunt. The above two points make the whole movie look less natural. When I watched it, I couldn't help but think of "Antarctic Adventure". It always felt similar, but it seemed to stop.
In terms of the plot, the small climax from time to time connects the whole movie. The spoiled Buck starts out as a farce, and then his fortunes take a turn for the worse. Fortunately, living a life with a mission is much better than being bought by gold diggers as a coolie. The only person who did his best to Buck was the white-haired old man, one person and one dog, who accompanied him to explore the world outside the map. This is fate. In nature, I was looking for a small wooden house, which is not big enough for one person and one dog to survive. Make a charcoal fire, spread the bedding, and spend the day and night. But in such a large environment, Buck began to be released, and he found more interesting things in the world. Playing with each other and chasing each other with his fellows is a lot of fun. But he couldn't let go of his feelings for his benefactor, so he had the last climax. The ending is good, and the message is that a dog has found his true owner, which is himself.
After reading it, I have a little urge to read the original novel, maybe I can arrange it later.
