after watching

How terrified I was that Togo would be about a real, almost impossible mission, yet another tragedy, and another human betrayal. Fortunately, this time we are talking about a dog named Togo, whose will to survive was so strong that even the biggest snowstorm of the 20th century could not stop it. In Nome, Alaska, on January 25, 1925, people almost fell into despair. The lethal diphtheria outbreak among children was met by a once-in-a-century snowstorm, all traffic was cut off, and the serum could not be delivered, and parents watched as their children were shrouded in the shadow of death. The only hope is the best local sled team - Sepera and his sled dogs, because he has the best lead dog, Togo. However, if you bring an experienced and trustworthy Togo, it is likely that this will be the last journey of Togo's life, who is no longer young. If you don't bring it, it is very likely that he will not be able to come back alive from the blizzard with other dogs. Although the choice is difficult, the result is certain. With the hope of the whole city, this sled team started a contest with nature and a race against fate in the extreme environment with a round trip of 1,000 kilometers, a temperature of minus 50 degrees, and a wind speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour. In the confrontation with the blizzard, on the long and dangerous road, in the roar of heaven and earth, bits and pieces of the past resurfaced in Cyphera's mind. Twelve years ago, the trustworthy leader dog Togo was the weakest cub in the litter. According to the principle of natural selection, it should have died early. Even if it barely survived, in Sepera's eyes, it is a physical Inferior products with insufficient intelligence and insufficient intelligence are not worthy to survive in the harsh environment of Agasgar. Its fate is to meet a "compassionate" bullet. But under the careful care of the hostess, he survived tenaciously and became the skiniest pup in the dog farm. If you give it away, it will come back; if it is locked in a circle, it will dig a hole to escape; even if it is locked in a tool room, it will find another way to get free. This born free and unruly soul is cunning and keen, runs like the wind, and has a natural leadership ability. When he was a puppy, he was able to subvert the hierarchy of the sled dog team, and can easily handle the most fierce dog in the dog team (by selling cute). You can also easily take revenge on Sepera, who has been ignoring it. In the world of ice and snow, a sled dog does not exist as a pet. If it can't pull the sled, it will become a burden, trouble, and failure - Cypera once believed so. However, when Togo became a "nightmare" he couldn't get rid of with his superior stubbornness, he could only surrender. I didn't expect that once Togo was given a chance, it really jumped from the tail of the sled team to the top of the team with its strength. Only then did he realize that he had overlooked Togo's talent. It was not an ordinary sled dog, but a natural leader. On the way to get the serum, the majestic view of Alaska unfolded before my eyes, long clouds flowed, distant mountains stood still, snow-capped, icy gorges murmured. Murder is hidden in the magnificence of nature. Willem Dafoe's Sepera drives the dog to run on the glacier. When facing danger, he shouts the lines from Shakespeare's famous play "Henry V". Led by Togo, the sled team climbed steep cliffs, ran over cracked glaciers, passed through dense forests that lost their vision, jumped on the edge of broken ice, and found their way forward in a storm that left mankind helpless. , relying on keen judgment and indomitable courage, running desperately, all the way forward, and giving everything just to live up to the master's entrustment. It persisted until it found the last inn before falling to the ground. The serum was delivered in time. In this race against the disease, a total of 20 sled teams participated in the serum relay. This relay was called the "Great Race of Mercy". It took only 5 days for the 25-day schedule. Halfway through the relay. Nineteen of the teams ran an average of 50 kilometers and one team ran 425 kilometers. The team went unnoticed because of the reporter's stupor, and elsewhere in the U.S. another dog, Barto (and indeed the last one to deliver the serum), was celebrated and his statue erected in New York's Central Park . But the people of Nome knew who they had to thank. Those who stay out of it just want to know who made it to the finish line, And those who are saved know because of who gets to the finish line. It was that furry dog ​​who couldn't be idle for a moment, was mischievous and mischievous, was the herding dog who led the team to defeat the best sled team at that time and won the championship in the sled race, and was the tenacious, loyal, and brave mind in the blizzard. The way dog ​​is the natural leader dog who has overcome the "mortal" fate several times by relying on his own will to survive and spend his old age in peace. It has become a legend, and its descendants are called the Siberian Siberian breed, which inherits its shining qualities and has an extraordinary emotional bond with humans, which has become the yearning of sleds all over the world. At the same time, it also spent its life teaching Seppela to respect and love working dogs as true companions. If you are fortunate enough to be with an "Erha", when it demolishes its home in the future, don't blame it for it, think that it has a strong self-awareness, and it should be running and whistling on the wilderness ice field. They are brave and full of strength. There is nowhere to vent the energy of the body, and it is strange not to tear down the house. They are fighters, elves, and more human companions than pets. "If you are lucky enough to have a good dog, it will never leave; it will accompany you all your life, listen to your heart, dedicate everything to it, from start to finish..."

    Fair and decent, but Jingmei dog is cute. It's just that the better the dog, the more it feels that humans are not worth it...

    First movie to watch in 2020. Originally still hesitating which movie to choose this year to watch on the first day of the new year? When I thought that my mother's lunar calendar birthday happened on New Year's Day, and my mother's zodiac happened to be a dog, this well-reviewed dog movie just came out at the end of 2019, so I decided to choose "Togo". —— This icy world seems to be enchanted by "Elsa". ——"Some dogs can't be kept." Togo, who is extremely energetic, can't help but remind me of Marley, the late-born descendant of "Marley and Me", and its loyalty to Sepala is closely related to the loyal dog Hachiko and Ling dog Lai. West and many other dogs are in the same line, and they have gradually become a witty leading dog during a naughty and interesting childhood. They have something in common with White Fang in "Golden Dog in the Snow"... After successfully bringing back the immune serum, At one time, I thought that films like "Guide Dog Q" and "Ten Promises between Dogs and Me" would show the process of Togo's aging (death), but as a result, Togo, who had a strong vitality, was "living and alive" again. "Farewell" is more of an understatement (although it brought me to tears a few times).
