The first third of the film introduces the birth process of the two "wolf cubs" in a fairly compact picture. Although the style is fresh, but the content is too heavy. In Asian moral values, bestiality is a taboo that transcends morality. Although people's attitudes towards interbreeding have improved in contemporary society, it is still a bad taste that cannot be seen in the normal mainstream view.
At the beginning of "Son of the Wolf Rain and Snow", the character was set as a product that was not accepted in morality, and the entire film was covered with a haze of invisible form. Even if the audience can understand the intention of the character setting, it may not be Can look forward to the film from an optimistic point of view. As for Father Wolf, the one that appeared from him is doomed to a tragic ending, and it will also herald a tragic life for his children.
When the happiness of the wolf father was washed away by the river, the hard life of the mother and the child became more and more miserable. How the children will grow up in a healthy environment is the primary problem that mothers face. The society's vigilant and even disgusting attitude towards abnormal phenomena forces mothers to take their children to live in the mountains and forests, away from the hidden dangers brought by the city.
After entering the forest, how to avoid the eyes of others, let the two children grow up in a difficult environment, and how to improve the quality of life in the tight conditions have become another problem that mothers have to face. The director has a tolerant and kind heart, and let some unresponsive good-hearted people provide a lot of help to the mother, but the awareness of aliens in the mainstream concept still becomes a hidden hidden danger in the film's emotions, which brings the audience a sense of unease.
After the wolf cubs grow up, they gradually gain an understanding of the environment they are in, and they also have a certain understanding of the state they are in. The psychological change has become the third problem faced by mothers, and it is also the biggest problem that the film has always maintained to the end. of unease. My sister has been naughty and mischievous since she was a child, and she was not afraid of anything, but she made trouble after being smelled out by the new classmates.
The younger brother's disappointment in human society and yearning for the forest, he chose to live in this world as a beast, which made his mother and sister worried. In fact, it is also a kind of thinking of the director on the identity and status of human beings, with pessimistic thinking. Humans are destined not to be on a par with beasts, and human society and the animal world cannot coexist perfectly. In the final analysis, human beings occupy the initiative, and even a help to nature is a threat. The younger brother is more like a deformity born from this duality. Although the film does not trace his future life, the prospects are indeed not optimistic.
The life of the elder sister who chooses to be a human is also not much better. She hides her true face and hides at the slightest disturbance. If the person who finds the secret is not a lonely and pitiful person, who uses the same disease to understand her suffering, I am afraid that it will be buried in the Sooner or later the darkness in her heart would swallow her heart.
The work emphasizes warmth and humanity through details again and again. The tenacity of the mother and the friendliness of the neighbors seem to say that "Son of the Wolf Rain and Snow" is a warm and optimistic inspirational film, but no matter how you look at it, the hidden unease in the film Feelings can never be erased, or even ignored. Behind the seemingly perfect ending, there are many unfortunate possibilities hidden, which can be left to the audience's imagination, but it is debatable whether the director wants to express broad feelings or think about the dark side. Based on the influence of this affection, the brilliance of the movie will be slightly reduced.
