As known as the "Wolf Totem", known as the most difficult novel to adapt, the film has delivered a neat answer that can remove the dross. Humans’ awe of nature and reflection on the laws of environmental conservation are the simple and unpretentious melody. In the vast grasslands that are stunning and beautiful, the rendering of wolves is extremely charming, but the other side of the movie is the lack of plot structure, and the emotions of the characters are paler under the contrast of wolves.

Generally speaking, the story is complete, but the emotional processing of the characters is not delicate enough. The emotional connection between man and wolf is too weak, a bit less complicated, subtle and tragic. Instead, there is an illusion that the hero's wishful thinking is good for the little wolf. All in all, the plot is scattered, the theme is unclear, and the taste is dull.
