It is true that the old man Jacques photographed animals was top-notch, but it was probably because he had photographed animals for so long that he had forgotten how to photograph people.
The main characters in the film are Feng Shaofeng, Feng Shaofeng's friend, Abba, the director, and Batu's wife.
Feng Shaofeng's friend is a very sad character, because if all his scenes are deleted, the whole story will hardly be affected. Does he exist only for that wild drama that didn't show any flesh?
A person like Abba, who has been in the grasslands for many years and has a firm belief, could have caused a conflict in the story. Unfortunately, he became a commentator. Feng Shaofeng asked a question and he answered a question. In the end, Feng Shaofeng understood it, and he took the lunch. It's a pity that such a good character is set up;
the role of the director is a bit inexplicable, sometimes bad and sometimes not bad, it is impossible to identify whether he is the real villain or not, he does not appear often, but when he appears, it will definitely promote the development of the story, so the narrative of the film It goes something like this: story begins, wolf hunts, commoners gather, director appears, story turns, wolf hunts, commoners gather, director appears, story turns, wolf hunts, commoners gather, director appears, story ends.
Batu's wife, um, looks good, 5.5 points.
Well, I'm going to start complaining about Feng Shaofeng. Speaking at the front, Feng Shaofeng's role is a full SB, and Feng Shaofeng's acting skills are also at SB level. When bitten by a wolf, he first yelled at me, I fuck you, and then suddenly laughed happily; then he firmly said that wolf teeth are poisonous and superstitious, and then asked where to get an injection in the next second; Batu's wife is kind Help him apply medicine, he took the opportunity to say a lot of I love you, don't you love me, you must love me, let's get married, how can you get engaged? Dad agrees, I don't care Pimple, if I were that woman, I would slap me when I went up, how could he not be so ashamed; Batu's wife let his wolf go, he rushed up and roared, and then the next second they were kissing, the world Said to hit the wheel. Isn't this an SB character? The wolf cub was thrown to death, he cried; the little wolf refused to go with the brigade, he cried; was bitten by the little wolf, he cried; Batu's ex-wife wanted to marry, he cried; looking for penicillin, he cried; the little wolf was Let go, he called... Isn't he tired? Anyway, I'm so tired, the characters are so ugly, the actors rely on roaring, and Feng Shaofeng can roar better than a wolf.
The part about people in the film is really weak, but the real protagonists are not them, but the Huskies, no, the Mongolian wolf! The wolves in the movie are all real wolves, not made by CGI special effects, nor are they pretending to be Huskies, so those wolves are all acting. The wolf-horse battle that took a month to shoot, the snow in the sky and the galloping horses and wolves, every frame is the wolf brother telling you that brother is handsome, and brother is cool. However, compared with CGI, this traditional shooting method still compromises the expression of the picture, because taming a beast does not mean that the beast can understand human language, and many other lenses suitable for large scenes use small scenes. Substitute, nothing more than because it really can't be photographed.
Jean Jarno is a very respectable director. There are really few directors who spend seven or eight years for a film, but maybe because of this, the directing skills are rusty. Human actors are not well-trained as I said before, and photography and editing are not well-trained either. I saw a bunch of pointless push shots, and all kinds of messy edits, and sometimes the wolf was running to the left, running and running to the right in the next shot, which made me uncomfortable. The length of the story is about half a year to a year, but the only way to know it is to judge the size of the wolf, so there is no fear that some viewers really think that the wolf is the incarnation of God, and it will grow up in a few days. The editor is a little confident. The theme of the movie is also not clear, I didn't understand it anyway.
Although I haven't read the original book, but I saw a little bit about the east and west in the movie. The narrative length of the original book is definitely not short. In fact, it is more suitable to be made into a TV series or a movie with more than three hours. Unfortunately, the market said no. .
At the end of the film, the camera shot up slowly, and the cloud was in the shape of a wolf. I finally understood that what I was watching for two hours was a high-end customized advertisement of Septwolves. Overall, this was not a good viewing experience.
