It’s a pity that I don’t like to watch the poetry-like journey of an ancient man with a wolf!

Reckless wasteland, one person, one wolf, trekking through mountains and rivers, looking for hometown,

The sky is full of stars as its company, the wind, frost, rain and snow move forward,

The human heart is good, the wild beast surrenders, through adversity, and eventually become masters and servants.

A single limerick can tell the whole story of "Alpha: The Return of the Wolf",

The director did use poetic lens language to show the audience a story of the acquaintance of ancient men and wolves.

A large number of time-lapse shooting and aerial shots are the same as BBC documentaries, which can be said to be beautiful.

It brings a different experience to viewers who are accustomed to watching blockbuster routines and whose story is paramount.

This is also the reason why this movie has been welcomed by many audiences.

But I don’t like it very much,

There are three reasons for dislike,

First: the unreality of beauty

Although there is nothing wrong with using poetic techniques to show ancient beauty, but this kind of beauty gives people the feeling that it is too superficial, and it has a feeling of overwriting. From the perspective of the whole movie, apart from the cold and the empty and desolate, I seem to be I didn’t realize how dangerous the ancient society was. It’s so difficult for a wolf to survive alone. Letting go of this, the beauty displayed is more gentle, like singing and dancing in a flourishing age, empty and boring, but I love the ruined walls under the setting sun more. The old man sitting alone. In simple words, we can only see the rainbow after wind and rain.

Second: The story is too thin

If this is a 45-minute U.S. drama, I think it’s not bad, but I spend an hour and a half alone to tell such a thin story. I believe many people who are as busy as me will feel that after watching the movie, It’s a little bit worthless, maybe some people don’t agree with the fast-paced movie now, but with such a social tempo, how do you let us adapt to slow and boring things?

Third: The blood bars of the protagonist and the wolf are too long, right?

It’s okay for the protagonist to fall off the cliff. It’s okay to fall into the water, it’s okay to fall into ice water, it’s okay to lie naked in the snow, and it’s okay to encounter a saber-toothed tiger (the wolf is only injured). The plot just arranges for him to cough up blood. I thought it must be a tragic ending, and the toilet paper was ready, but I went back to the tribe to sleep. It reminded me of the "Sword of the Immortal" many years ago. When the protagonist's blood bar ran out, I found an inn and fell asleep. Full.
