I believe that people who don't like dogs will like this animal after watching this film, and people who like dogs will like it even more.

Among the many dog ​​breeds, the husky is a more likable breed. It looks like a wolf but is absolutely gentle. It is one of the most easy to get along with people. The husky is a type of sled dog. It was originally called the Siberian Husky, but it was called the Husky because of its barking. Among the sled dogs, there is another kind called the Alaskan Malamute, also known as the Eskimo Dog. The color is slightly yellow, and it is a little quieter with the Husky, and it is easier to get along with people. However, huskies are more commonly seen in China, and they have caused various jokes because they often commit 2 in front of their owners. Various clips have been filmed on major video websites. This may be the reason for the huskies' share. It's higher.

In "Antarctic Adventure", it is the story of 8 huskies and the love of Kismo dogs, making a touching story in the icy Antarctica. "Antarctic Adventure" is based on a real story that took place in Antarctica in 1957. The original story was found between the Japanese and the Kato dog, but because the Kato dog was only produced in Japan, in the American version of the story, the dog The class becomes a huskies plus love kismo dogs, and this change is more adorable and more pleasing because of the shape of the huskies. Just as "The Story of the Faithful Dog Hachiko" was adapted into the American version, this "Antarctic Adventure" is also adapted from "Antarctic Story", which has been so successful in Japan. Regarding the original work, I will write about it next, so I won’t go into it here.

Writing a film review and making spoilers is a very lazy behavior, and it is also an unresponsible performance for readers, because film reviews serve as a guide and guide readers to see what they are doing. However, because I don't really want to act as a strong guide, as a personal writing, I often don't pay special attention to the reader's feelings. Moreover, for "Nan Great Adventure", I think no matter how good the comment is, it would be better to tell the story in it. The touching part of the story is that it allows everyone to read the story most directly.

Watching a good movie requires time and the mood of the movie. On the occasion of winter, especially when the door is closed by heavy snow, it is very suitable to be quiet, pour a cup of hot tea, and watch this warm and touching story steadily.

In Antarctica, which is icy and snowy, an American scientific expedition team is conducting a scientific investigation. In places where snowmobiles can't reach, the most convenient driving tool is the sled dog. As a result, the scientific expedition team raised 8 sled dogs, including 6 huskies and 2 twin Ekiss dogs. While accompanying the expedition team through the lonely days and nights, they also undertake important consignment work. Under normal circumstances, each sled dog can drag objects equal to half of its own body weight on the snow. On the occasion of the arrival of winter in Antarctica, a geographer Davis wanted to take advantage of the last opportunity to find meteorites scattered on the ice sheet that humans had not set foot on, so together with the guide Jerry, took the sled dogs. The sled left the scientific research base and walked into the ice field.

The names of the 6 huskies are Maya (the leader), Max (independent and brave little guy), Xiao Budian (the only pure white puppy), Shadow, and Dewey (the love kiss dog, the name comes from the United States) President's name), Truman (Dewey's twin brother, whose name is also derived from the President of the United States), Buck, Jack (the oldest, playing poker with humans without authorization).

The sled dog is a social animal, and it will naturally divide the labor in the group. Some will automatically stand out and become the leader. The gray Maya is the leader of this squad. He always bears the brunt of the advancement, one step ahead of other dogs, and serves as a striker. Role, and Max is its deputy. Maya led the rest of the dogs to successfully complete the mission to find meteorites. Despite an accident on the road, the oldest Jack was injured on the soles of his feet and began to bleed, and the sled also rolled over the ice peak, causing Davis to fall. Coupled with freezing, the injuries were serious and urgent treatment was needed. Although Davis was injured, his responsibility with the dog was not great, and Maya took the rope to Davis and helped him to wrap it up, and then together with the other dogs to get Davis out of the ice hole. , And then sent Davis back to the base smoothly. At this time, the winter in Antarctica has arrived, and the latest climate change has made the weather near the base worse, and the air mass is approaching. Not only Davis, who is in urgent need of treatment, but also the entire base's personnel need to be evacuated. However, the helicopter responsible for the transportation has no space for 8 dogs after loading the base personnel.

The original plan was that after the helicopter transported the base personnel away, the base camp would send a second plane to take the dogs away. For this reason, Jerry also specially locked 8 dogs in the snow, fearing that they would come out. But the climate change in Antarctica is beyond human imagination. After their helicopter flew away, they couldn't send any more equipment to transport dogs. As a result, tragedy occurred, and humans could not return to the base all winter. The food for the dogs locked in the snow can only last for 15 days at most.

Jerry was very sad about his departure. At first, he tried every means to go back and bring the dogs back, but his personal strength was limited and all his efforts were in vain, which made him very discouraged. . This caused him to quit his job and teach children to row a boat in a swimming center.

On the continent of Antarctica, those 8 dogs who were completely abandoned. They became the real protagonists. After a series of hard work, 7 dogs finally got rid of the iron chains that bound them. Poor Jack was unable to complete this arduous challenge because of aging, and unfortunately became the first dog to die. Maya led the other dogs to make a living on the ice field. The story begins here, the most exciting and touching part.

Regarding huskies, we have always thought that they are very docile animals. This is not wrong, but not all right. Don't forget that its original bloodline has the ingredients of Siberian wolf, and the Husky's real name is Siberian Husky. Huskies are not aggressive to humans, but going back to the past, in their native areas, Arctic wolves and huskies live together except for humans, and social animals need leaders, so huskies do not attack other dogs under normal circumstances. Sex, but the nature of social animals will also make them have a certain degree of aggression towards dogs other than huskies, and huskies are generally the same as wolves when they bite-their mouths are powerful, and they only bite their throats. Therefore, when husky is alone, avoid aggressive dogs. It generally does not attack actively, which is the same as a wolf, but if it attacks, it is fatal.

Although such fatal moments are rare, this kind of nature is still reflected in "Antarctic Adventure". The dogs who have finally broken free, in order to survive, can only fight with nature and ask for food from nature. Seagulls flying in the sky and seals swimming in the water will be their targets. Moreover, the division of labor of social animals is also fully reflected here. In the first hunt, Max's recklessness led to a failure, which attracted Maya's reprimand.

Finally, the dogs learned to cooperate and learned to survive. The information of the natural landscape in the polar regions is ever-changing, and colorful aurora will appear in the sky. Under the condition of worry-free survival, the husky's playful nature will flourish. On the 50th day of their independent survival, the playful Dewey fell off the snow-capped mountain and fell to the ground because he tracked the aurora against the snow. The companions had to leave in order to survive, and even Truman chose to leave after wailing for a while. But it was Max who remained in the end, guarding Dewey, who was gradually freezing cold, and refused to leave. Finally, when he finally wanted to leave, he found Maya and the other dogs in the snow that had disappeared.

Max had to survive alone, and this independence lasted for 102 days. It survived because it found the carcass of a dead whale, even though a fierce seal lived inside the whale carcass. But Max still survived and learned a lot. On the 152nd day when the dogs survived independently, Max and Maya finally successfully reunited. Max also attracted the seals so that Maya could eat whale meat. But the cunning seal suddenly killed a carbine, and suddenly sprang out of the ice cave, and bit one of Maya's hind legs. It was Max again, leading the other dogs to attack the seal. Maya was rescued, but its leg injury was enough to make it fatal. In the ensuing hunting, Maya slowly wanted to give up survival and began to refuse to eat the food brought by her companions.

23 days after Maya was bitten, the film has the most touching scene. The other sled dogs brought back the prey-the bird. Max put the bird in front of Maya and let it choose first, and Maya took the bird back in front of Max, affirming its efforts and establishing its leadership position. This move will affect the future of the dogs regardless of whether humans appear or not. Survival is of great significance. They must have leaders and must be united to survive in this icy and snowy land.

At the same time, Jerry in the United States has never given up thinking about those dogs in Antarctica who are unpredictable. Finally, he moved Davis and returned to Antarctica with other friends. After the sled dogs survived independently for 175 days, they finally arrived late, and Max also led the rest of the sled dogs back to the base to meet the humans. When Jerry found out that Max and them were still alive, the excitement was enough to make people cry. Fortunately, Maya was not dead at this time, and it was Max who led Jerry to find it, and Maya, who was on the verge of breaking her breath, was finally rescued.

Eight dogs, after living independently for 175 days in the winter in Antarctica, succeeded in surviving six. This is a miracle of life. It is a miracle of life that makes people awe in life, and full of admiration for their courage and cooperation. Therefore, in this film, the real protagonist is not the human, but the dog himself. Poor Paul Walker finally walked out of police and crime films and acted in an inspirational film, but he changed from an absolute protagonist to a supporting role for animals.
