If it's a movie adaptation, it's good

When I was in high school, I read the book of wolf totem, and I still admired the pictures of wolves in the book, such as driving the prey into the ice lake and the pursuit of freedom. The Mongolian sky burial reflects the relationship between man and nature. It is also very shocking. But Laxi Dorji jumped out and said that the Mongolians also hated wolves, and they also involved fascism. .
I think this film, as an adaptation, can restore the novel more comprehensively and express the author's point of view. But whether the views expressed in the original book are correct now appears to be up for debate. Perhaps the author was shocked by the wolf after entering the grassland, and personally turned the fear into worship, and integrated the collected stories to imagine the wolf totem culture. This may be the so-called farming people's deep fear of the grassland culture. . It is also possible that Laxi Dorji had already been influenced by the Han culture and abandoned his own grassland culture. This can be seen from his comparison of the wolf to fascism. All things are just for survival, and there is no distinction between good and evil. The evil incarnation plane has passed.
Overall, the movie captures the spirit of the original, but it's hard to figure out whether it's right or not.
