Suddenly more than an hour came out, just in time to open the movie. One is the love of Jack London, the other is the love of Harrison Ford, which makes me look forward to this film a lot. Although the online ratings for the film are very low, I still think it is very good. Lower the expectations for the restoration of the original work, and regard this film as a phone call for the whole family to watch the movie together. This is also a very suitable family movie.
The original novel "The Call of the Wild" had a great influence on me. It can be said that it was the first foreign literature I read. After reading this book and Fang Long's "Bible Story", the whole worldview was subverted. How old can't accept such a huge difference, so I deeply care about the stories told in this book, the world described, and the restoration of human nature. During the epidemic, I also bought Jack London's original book to read. The description of Buck's fate in the book is heart-wrenching. The dog's life is actually the cruel reality of Alaska's gold rush. In his short life, most of the hurried passers-by bring harm, and the rare few times the warmth is constantly being blown away. The artificial interruption finally brought Buck back to the wild and back to his home.
In the original novel, there is a lot of cruelty and bloody descriptions. I originally thought that the film would be the same, but I didn't expect it to be a family film suitable for all ages and warm feelings. And the second reason that attracted me to watch this film - Harrison Ford, 78 years old, is still active on the screen. From "Star Wars", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Ender's Game", it is the representative of the old American hard-line image: integrity, wisdom, and a unique understanding of life. Now it's a joy to see him again in this film.
But for the above two points, this movie is worth watching. The premise is to lower the expectations for the restoration of the original work. After all, in today's society, too realistic movies are not pleasing.
The large amount of CG technology in the film is also breathtaking. I have always felt that the current film has surpassed the imagination of the audience. The realistic animal images and movements, and the beautiful summer scenery of Alaska are all displayed on the screen little by little, which is greatly satisfied. The desire to travel the world without leaving home. In the late summer night, lying on the sofa watching the scenery in the film, I feel that this is the real summer.
Life is too short to watch this lighthearted movie occasionally.
