When I was reading the book, I was still very engaged and shocked. I had a very concrete description in my mind, what a person looks like, what a wolf looks like, etc... The movie may be because of the difficulty of shooting animals, it does not make the difference between man and wolf. That persistent tacit understanding fully manifested. The character performances are a little shallow, especially the lines of the two male protagonists make me more out of the show. Feng Shaofeng must have worked very hard. Seeing his deep wrinkles is not a complete makeup skill. Generally speaking, I am very tolerant, because I know how hard it is to shoot such a scene.
In addition, because of the skill of the photographer and director, the picture is very good, the grassland scenery is breathtaking, and the night scene is especially charming. If there is a regret, it is that the artistic conception of the book cannot be reached no matter what, perhaps it is a limitation of some aspect of film art.
