A wolf totem is not only a natural movie, not only a movie of human nature but also a movie with various connotations, revealing human nature and that era through the eyes of animals.
The wolf, an iconic animal of the grassland, an animal at the top of the grassland ecology, is so fragile under the dark side of human nature. I don't want to dwell on that era, but just explore what role humans play as a member of nature. Such helplessness, such self-blame.The tense chase plot, the relaxed plot, and especially the description of the wolf, do not have too much introduction, but it is full of the whole film.
As a difficult film adaptation, domestic directors did not dare to try it, and I would like to thank them for not trying. A foreign director who dared to abandon the juvenile faction spent many years studying the animal wolf, just to make a living wolf. The director mainly chose the contradiction between human and wolf predation, which can also highlight the characteristics of wolves as grassland animals. The novel describes a lot of the feelings between Chen Zhen and the wolf, which is difficult to show in the movie. At the end of the movie, It did not strictly follow the novel, but it may still take care of people's feelings and leave hope for everyone.
