The educated youth from Beijing played by Feng Shaofeng and Yang Ke played by Dou Xiao came to this vast land together. The brothers from the big city, when they first came here, were fascinated by the magnificent scenery and simple folk customs here. Attracting, and even more fascinated, is the awe of the herdsmen here for the mysterious prairie wolf, the various legends and customs of herdsmen heard from Abba, and witnessing the collective hunting of wolves. This educated youth is fascinated by the witty, brave, stoic, arrogant, and team-spirited animals in front of him. As a Han Chinese, he is wandering in a foreign country, among people with completely different living habits and even language. The feeling of loneliness and loneliness is here. Inevitably, the wolf howling from the night wind whistling from the grassland made him unable to help but have an idea that the herdsmen regarded as a great treason.
This is a film directed by French director Jean-Jacques Arnaud. The subtitles at the end seem to be based on real events. The film also showed a dark horse temperament in the 2015 Spring Festival of the Goat, which was filled with gunpowder smoke. He actually achieved very good box office results in a manner that was not very high-profile, and the French director with a rather unfamiliar name in front of him went to the Internet to find out after watching it. Before, he was shooting tigers and bears. He was an animal expert in the absolute sense, and he specialized in shooting such large beasts. It is not difficult to see in this film that he is very good at recording various symbolic meanings of animals with his camera. His iconic actions, group actions or solo attacks, in his shots, animals’ limbs and actions can express a lot of language, while humans exist as supporting roles, responsible for using narration or subtext to connect the connotation of animals with The soul expresses itself.
The male protagonist in this film began to meet the wolves in the grasslands, was shocked by the collective hunting of the wolves and was completely conquered, and then gradually became familiar with the ingenious maintenance passed down by the herdsmen from generation to generation and the relationship between the wolves. relationship, and how to rely on the wolves to maintain the ecological balance of the grasslands, while experiencing the shock brought by grassland life, I also appreciate the awe of wolves. However, in front of the ever-expanding crowds and machines, the self-regulation function of the grassland was trampled in the eyes, witnessing the slaughter of the wolf cubs, the heartache was endless, and then witnessed the reality of the wolf repeatedly in front of the human beings. For their pride and tenacity, they would rather choose to die by suicide than to be caught alive and thin. He witnessed with his own eyes the tragedy that the wolf pack was almost completely wiped out by humans, while the little wolf he raised grew up during this period. At this time, the little wolf almost became the only survivor of the coyote, along with his own gradual development of the wolf. It is understood that his feelings for the wolf gradually deepened, until it was finally inseparable.
In addition to describing the relationship between humans and wolves, the film also describes the destruction of nature by human activities, the destruction of the entire ecological balance, and the destruction of the living habits of the aborigines for thousands of years. , the environment will be completely defiled.
Most of the narration of the whole story is not bad, but at the end, there is a bit of drama that I can't figure out. This little wolf and bursts are about to have a domestic version of "Dancing With Wolves", but I don't know what happened at the end of Shengsheng, why it's gone, is it because of the director's understanding of wolves, because of the wolf's arrogant and disdainful nature of being pets, which is repeatedly emphasized in the film, the vast grassland is it The soul is tied, so he arranged for the little wolf to part with the burst of injuries. Then there was the marriage between Zhan Zhen and the Mongolian girl. It seemed to be a bit of a drama. I don't know why it suddenly happened......
Personally, I feel that Feng Shaofeng is still very suitable for playing a character with a slightly scholarly temperament like Zhanjin. The overly brave style such as "Overlord" is really not suitable for his temperament. In this film, his control of the character is still very good, but I don't know why this film was named as a literary film, and it also claimed to break the box office record of domestic literary films. Is this film talking about the educated youth, taking a picture of the beautiful grassland, and talking about the wolf of Niu X? Even a literary film? Or because of the "third child"? When it comes to "the third", Dou Xiao is a solid soy sauce this time. He didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end, and there seem to be less than 10 scenes in total, hey...... This supporting role is too much Match it up.
In general, the film is not bad, but the ending is too abrupt. It would be better if there are more strong materials.
