After coming out of the theater today, my partner and I kept discussing until the end of the meal. In fact, there is really no need to make it into 3D. The beauty of the grassland itself is very shocking. If the camera level is high, the effect is definitely better than 3D. There are many places for people to think about, which just reflects the non-narrowness of Jean-Jacques Arnault’s works. This is where Chinese films should think. Why is the theme of our domestic films so easy to see through, there is no suspense, in fact, the theme is prominent, but also precisely It is the expression of the limited meaning of his works. This work shows the antagonism among the grasslands, herdsmen, wolves, and "perverted herdsmen". The living conditions of mutual dependence and awe. In the opposition, there are the herdsmen's "deprivation" journey of migrating with the grass for survival, and the herdsmen's sitting and enjoying. The cruelty of wolves and wolf cubs... But there is also their reverence for the sublime nature of the grasslands, and their reverence for the dignity of wolves. Abba Billig brought tears to my eyes several times. This is a rational, calm and warm prairie chief who can always give people guidance, strength and hope. I think he is the living Tengri.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. The presence of wolves is a double-edged sword. But, as Abba Billig said, the wolves will take their revenge like crazy. Because, humans took all the yellow sheep, ignoring the reproduction of the wolf clan. The scene of the wolves furiously retaliating against the siege of the horses was indeed extremely tragic. The desperate anger of the wolves rose from the whistling wind and snow. It was Tengger's anger, because the biological chain was broken. And wolves are also dignified, they would rather kill themselves than be skinned by humans, they would rather risk their lives to hunt than accept food in humiliation, that's why the little wolf bit Chen Zhen, why the little wolf at the end of the movie was not as I imagined Pounce on Chen Zhen, because it is a coyote, by nature. They are united, wise, patient and able to obey orders. Perhaps as the work itself says, there is a lack of wolf in the blood of Chinese famous people.
I don't want to say much about the Cultural Revolution, but the works of Hongguoguodi make us feel the cleverness of the "perverted herdsmen" and the ridiculousness of the superior orders.
The work has many places for us to think about, and Chen Zhen played by Feng Shaofeng has always made me feel helpless. However, everyone was finally convinced by nature. Faced with the prairie wolf that died of exhaustion, everyone acquiesced in its dignity—the willful chokehold of the Cultural Revolution, in fact, has been waiting in everyone's heart to be summoned to revive.
Darling, I will never give you to despair - the little wolf is alive and well in the mountains and Tengger.

    The advantage is stability, the disadvantage is flat, 3D is a group of mosquitoes
