A bit disappointed

I just finished watching it. How should I put it? It's not what I imagined. After watching the clip and introduction, the plot I imagined is that after Buck was kidnapped, he ran into the forest alone, and then killed the Quartet. It was about the things between animals, but after reading it, I found that it was still about the things between Buck and people. I didn't move too much wildness, many turning points, every time I thought Buck would run. , it all followed a master again, which disappointed me. When Buck was a sled dog and fought with the lead dog, I thought it would blacken and stimulate the wildness in my heart. , I'm not saying that wildness is against humans, but the feeling of wildness in the movie is different from what I imagined. I feel that its prominent theme is not the call of wildness, but that dogs are good friends of animals. I feel sledding The description of the dog is better. Later, after Buck entered the forest, he found his wildness according to the movie. I still feel that it has not changed. At least the appearance has not changed. It is not as cold-blooded as I imagined. It still looked like a dog, a house dog, except bigger. I don't think the white wolf and the lead dog who just started sled dogs look murderous. And I feel that Buck is too protagonist halo, he is too good, every time I see him helping others with the white wolf, I always have a feeling of reading romance novels, Buck is the male protagonist, kind, Brave, will help others to gain opportunities or something. To me, it feels like Guo Jing's character design, except that it is smarter than Guo Jing (I don't know if I have read novels too much?), and there is a black wolf that appears. Does it represent Buck's wildness, calling it all the time? I think it should be, I think this black wolf is so handsome

Anyway, seeing the ending, sigh, the feeling of an ancient boy's novel is vivid on the paper, and Buck has become a leader. I feel that the description of Buck's wild transformation is not enough in the film, which is a bit disappointing to me?

After reading the comments, they said that the original work does not seem to be what the film describes. It seems to be similar to what I imagined. I am going to read it.

The Call of the Wild quotes

  • John Thornton: [narrates] There's a place in these mountains where a new breed of timber wolf roams, wiser than men or wolf, because of the dog that runs at the head of a pack. Now... they live without fear, raise their young and flourish.

  • [last lines]

    John Thornton: [narrates] Some say that's the legend. Not so. You see, I knew him once, when he was just a dog at a men side. And even all this land is his, every summer, when he comes down to the valley, he remembers kind hands and old masters... before he went to his own... became his own master... before he heard the call.
