Some people say that this is a movie with an extremely simple plot.
But it was such a movie that made me cry several times.
The moments when the male lead grows up, the extremely hardships of man and wolf on the way home,
It reminds me a lot of the pains of growing up, the power of companionship, and the reluctance of parting.
As the son of the leader of the tribe, even when the natural life was harsh, the life of the male protagonist should be relatively generous.
Even a violent beating when you become a qualified hunter is just a small test that you must pass.
And the solemn coming-of-age ceremony is just a ceremony.
The real test, the real growth, is still on the real hunting ground behind, on the way home.
Never dared to kill, would not drill wood for fire, panic when hunting.
When he got it, he drilled wood for fire and roasted food, bandaged himself to heal his wounds, faced the hyena wolf pack bravely, and survived under the ice.
This great change only happened when there was no guardian from his father and he needed to face everything alone.
This is like a must for each of us to grow up.
If you don't leave the house, you can know nothing, be afraid of everything, and even a small bug can scream in fright.
Once you go out to work alone, do laundry, cook, go to the hospital, and even get up late at night to fix the water pipe.
In this way, inadvertently, I learned the same life skills that my parents could not teach me in the past.
And the courage to face setbacks in life alone.
You must be alone when you grow up, and trust must be sincere and company to happen naturally. This is this movie. In addition to the beautiful pictures and the shocking sound, it gives me a stirring of my heart, as well as looking back on the memories of my childhood and the unforgettable people and events on the way to my growth. And this is enough for a movie.
The story of the hero and the wolf also resonates.
Even though Alpha has been attacked, the male protagonist still cannot kill the wolf with a single blow when it is injured.
But to heal it, give it food, and give it freedom.
This is the precious trust that people can have.
Because of the hero's kindness, guarding in times of crisis, and patiently tame, they also have a trust that can share adversity.
Yes, it is domestication.
Just as the fox said to the little prince in St. Exubery’s "The Little Prince":
If you tame me, we will need each other.
When I was a child, I also domesticated a dog like this.
It is not a pet dog, but a native dog in the countryside. Raised it to sell money when it grows up.
But I don't understand yet, so I played with it happily and carefree for more than a year.
Finally, that fall, someone came to the house, negotiated the price with their parents, and wanted to take it away.
It was lying on the floor of my room, just looking at me like that, with watery eyes.
However, as a primary school student, I cannot influence the decisions of my parents.
After all, at that time, for remote farmers, it was the price of several tens of rice.
I hid behind the door and looked at it from a distance, and saw it struggling and yelling.
Maybe there have never been so many stories of sharing weal and woe between us like in the movie,
Some are just daily play and company. But trust and emotional dependence are the same.
Later, it was taken away, and what was left to me was to hide the guilt in my heart until now, and also to never raise a dog again. Because I didn't want the good trust and company, at a certain moment, it stopped abruptly so inadvertently.
You must be alone when you grow up, and trust must be sincere and company to happen naturally. This is this movie. In addition to the beautiful pictures and the shocking sound, it gives me a stirring of my heart, as well as looking back on the memories of my childhood and the unforgettable people and events on the way to my growth. And this is enough for a movie.
That day, I took my four-year-old son to see it together. Maybe he didn't understand most of them, but I hope that the growth story, trust and company, these beautiful things can moisturize things silently, and nourish him along the way.
