I didn't read the novel when I watched the movie, and it didn't feel like the plot was particularly monotonous in many reviews. I feel that the filming is actually quite good, and the intention is very clear.
The movie uses a relatively exaggerated method to make a relatively sharp contrast to several life experiences of the dog Buck. Every time the image of the tall wolf dog in Buck's eyes appeared, he knew that he had found his true nature more and more, and it was also the call of the so-called wildness.
Throughout the shooting process, several images were used particularly beautifully, including the chased rabbit, the imaginary wolf dog, the harmonica, and photos. Let everyone compare Buck's inner and outer performance changes at different stages, and at the same time bring in different emotions, including between Buck and different masters, as well as Buck's feelings about himself.
The storyline is very coherent throughout, and in the end, the theme is slowly sublimated to find your true heart and be your truest self. This point is even more heartbreaking when Buck says goodbye to his master at the end. In the choice of accompanying the last master and hunting with his own group in the valley, Buck finally chose the jungle and continued to be his true self.
All in all, I think this is a very warm movie worth watching. The most touching thing is the delicate changes in Buck's inner emotions and eyes, which will also lead to more in-depth thinking about choices and lifestyles.
