Good luck, little fella.

Novel adaptation. It tells the story of how an adult grizzly bear who was hunted down by a hunter turned his foe into a friend and formed a bond with a cub who lost his mother. Whether it is the sadness of losing a loved one, the warmth of helping each other, or the fantastic and exaggerated dream, the traces of anthropomorphism are obvious. After all, this is not "Animal World" for the purpose of telling knowledge. The director hopes to resonate with the audience by expressing the emotions of animals. Another theme of the film is the reconciliation between man and nature, which is also one of the important clues in the original novel. Grizzlies won respect by not choosing to take revenge when they had the opportunity. As the end credits say: the most exciting thing is not killing, but releasing.
Famous animal actor Bart (a Kodiak brown bear) plays the adult grizzly bear, while the cub is played by a cub named Douce. Again, this is not a documentary, so all plots are fake, or at least reconstructed. In fact, the crew even used some emotional means to prevent the big bear from eating the little bear. But the final cut was so good that it was almost fake, no wonder it was nominated for an Oscar.

    The director of this film tells the story of the bear completely according to human emotions. Although it is not a documentary in the true sense, such an unimaginable production is still amazing enough. Anthropomorphism is useful in all kinds of expressions. The best part of this story is that it really puts animals and people on an equal footing and observes it from a completely natural perspective. The last thing worth mentioning is the director's control of the sound, except for a few points in the whole film

    Natural selection for survival of the fittest is true, but also cruel and terrifying. Standing at the top of the food chain, whatever you say will have the superiority of the strong. Just to control our desires and let those beautiful creatures disappear a little slower because of us.
