provokes thinking

This movie is not out of the ordinary among animal movies. At first, I always thought that the dog was about to speak, but it didn't start to end. The protagonist of the whole movie is Buck, thinking of the loyal dog Hachiko, but the loyal dog Hachiko is even more tragic.

1. The union between souls

In the early days of the movie, I always regarded Buck as a "pet", but didn't see it as an independent individual. I thought that he was always with people. Did Buck think the same way? He met three "masters", the first one is the master, the second one I think is more of a friend relationship, they cooperate with each other and have a certain understanding, the third one I would like to call a confidant . When I saw the third one, I realized that it is narrow to think that only human beings can fit together, why should other life be regarded as the appendage of human beings, why should human beings be so arrogant. Is the soul in the world constantly circulating on various living bodies? That gives me some personal ideological evidence for my belief in "reincarnation".

The movie will be artistically treated and beautified, but I still envy the comfort and mutual understanding of Buck and the old man, and there is no bondage. When I watch a movie, I imagine if I can be like an old man, maybe meet a cat, maybe meet a dog (I like cats and dogs too), and be able to understand each other, but I’m not satisfied, I’m picky that they can’t speak , Is it because language is important to me, why do I think so, obviously language is insignificant a lot of times, in short, I am greedy.

2. Find yourself and your home

Buck experienced his own changes, and finally found himself and found his home, and there were gains and losses in the process.

3. The life of a soul

All kinds of animals are like humans, with different personalities and different lives. Humans are classified according to countries. Here I think of Magic Spirit 2. Everyone is a human being, and everyone is a life. We often sigh with emotion about the life of various human beings. I think through this time I began to face up to the life of each soul. Life is long and short, so whether it is serious or not is relative, it must be "heavy" for me.

4. All kinds of brain holes opened up. The dog was the reincarnation of the old man's son. The house used to be the old man's son. The dog and the old man finally found out that his son was not dead (later the old man revealed that his son died after a few days of fever, and realized that The old man is watching his son die)

    The first time I watched a dog playing politics in a movie, it was still a husky

    Village bully, postman, villain, ronin, lack of wolf nature, more than dog nature, more like "The Master's Call"? It's really hard to like this kind of CG animal carnival.

The Call of the Wild quotes

  • John Thornton: [narrates] There's a place in these mountains where a new breed of timber wolf roams, wiser than men or wolf, because of the dog that runs at the head of a pack. Now... they live without fear, raise their young and flourish.

  • [last lines]

    John Thornton: [narrates] Some say that's the legend. Not so. You see, I knew him once, when he was just a dog at a men side. And even all this land is his, every summer, when he comes down to the valley, he remembers kind hands and old masters... before he went to his own... became his own master... before he heard the call.
