The recent series of comments on Wolf Totem is really disgusting. The blatant Han chauvinism and racist attacks are chilling. Not to mention the original novel, many people dare to take it out of context without even watching the movie. How can a film that conveys ecological reflection in a semi-documentary form arouse people's reflection if it is not radical? The original work itself does not carry any harmful ideology, it is just a restoration of the simple and simple ecological concept of the Mongolian nation, and an accusation and reflection on the wrong and confrontational ecological policy of the 1960s and 1970s. And for some who think they represent the civilized world, this has been rendered alive as social Darwinism against humanity. A movie can stimulate the sensitive self-esteem of the emperors and Han people so much that the right-wing trend in China can be imagined. If even a slightly dissenting film cannot be tolerated, then the tolerance of this society is indeed worrying. The general population would rather believe in prejudice than verify the veracity of information on their own. However, the current speed of information dissemination on the Internet has made authenticity uncontrollable. We live in an age where we believe everything and believe nothing. There is no need to talk about the flaws of the film itself. Personally, I think this is a relatively poor film by Jean-Jacques, and the French director still cannot fully restore the core of the original work. And if the majority audience, who lacks understanding of minorities, is misguided by some and focuses their attention in the wrong direction, it is not just the sadness of the film.
