I read a book before, which talks about business thinking, and uses the seven characteristics of wolf to explain it, including organization, cooperation, obedience, and overall outlook, as well as the qualities of perseverance, courage, arrogance, but patience and detours. The characteristics of wolves described in this film are precisely these aspects. When I first appeared on the stage, the beauty of the wolf conquered me. The dynamic pictures on the big screen more comprehensively and profoundly demonstrated the nobility, arrogance, and independence of the wolf. I once saw a tiger that was stocked on the mountain in a safari park. It was elegant and atmospheric. Calm and steady, he does have the demeanor of a king, while the wolf has an aristocratic temperament. Standing on a rock, his head is slightly raised, his clean white fur spreads out in the wind of the grassland, his green eyes are majestic and narrow, and he sees everything silently. In the film, many medium shots are used to show this scene, and the wolf's eyes are depicted in large close-ups many times, which makes this feeling even stronger. The wolf is as quiet as a virgin, knows restraint and patience, moves like a rabbit, hits the target directly, moves quietly and powerfully, concisely and accurately. Obedient to the leadership, the organization is rigorous, and when hunting, it spreads out in a trumpet shape, in order to block the retreat of the prey and drive them to the predicament, or after the trumpet shape disperses, it is broken into pieces. In the film, the wolves hunt and confront wolves many times with aerial footage to clearly demonstrate the process of trumpet-like dispersion. For a few seconds, it seems that this superb tactic is deliberately highlighted. Many of the tactics of later generations are all about learning animals. Don't sigh the magic of the creator to create such exquisite tactics, but this is just the instinct of animals. At the beginning, the young educated youth felt that people had a primitive awe for this beast, which is the respect that our ancestors had in their hearts after feeling the magnificence of nature. At that time, the number of human beings was still small and the power was still weak. At the beginning of civilization, they were wiser, and they understood the true beauty and simplicity of life, which is not like the chaos of human beings today.
In terms of human presentation, the film does not focus on indifference and ignorance, but balances it with the simple and early realization of the protagonist, the young educated youth. From the first time he saw the wolf and was conquered by the beauty of the wolf, every event, every decision and action, has a contrast. The first time I saw a wolf being conquered and even fascinated by the beauty of the wolf, it formed a strong contrast with other non-Mongolian people around. They could only see the glittering gold from the wolf. Such a preliminary understanding of the simplicity of life has become profound and ignorant. Indifference is out of place. Every time after that, the young educated youth digs out the wolf cubs and the wolf cubs are thrown to death. The wolf cubs and the wolf cubs are used as bait. Stay away from the crowd's fear of wolves. Not to mention the spectacle of the wolves showing their collective hunting for the first time, but the fruitful harvest was snatched away by opportunistic humans, which attracted the wolves to besiege the horses, causing heavy losses to the production team, but the director only cared about his own achievements and achievements. official title.
We cannot blindly vilify human beings as ignorant, greedy, indifferent, and arrogant, nor can we blindly glorify human beings as simple, kind, and intelligent. Just as the wolf pack has all the advantages and charms mentioned above, its brutality and ruthlessness are also exposed in the movie. That's exactly what this film shows us as completeness, and it's complex because of completeness, and it's real because of complexity. It can only be said that humans and wolves, any species, must obey the rules. Humans must abide by the laws of nature and leave enough food for wolves, so that they can reproduce without retaliation, and wolves should not step into the territory of humans, otherwise they will face the destruction of the group. However, the human species lacks natural enemies, and the number is increasing. It is becoming more and more difficult to do not step into the territory. And once they gain power, they often get carried away. For example, human beings have long forgotten who they are.
In the last scene, the last remaining wolf and the young educated youth looked at each other, with both the majesty of the wolf and the humanity in their eyes. It was undoubtedly a wolf cub raised by the young educated youth. No other prairie wolves had such complex eyes. The little wolf cub has now grown into a beautiful big wolf with white fur. It looked at the little educated youth for a few times, then turned and left, never looking back. If it were me, it would be the same. Love and hate the human world, love it because it is where I was born and raised, hate because it has made me a slave, imprisoned me, and teased me. How can I go back? I just hope that in the future, the water will not break the river, and we will never see each other again.
Although there is still a lot of support for the party in the lines and words of the movie, it is worth mentioning that there is a scene that depicts the director's execution of the superior's order, which makes people pay attention. It seems to be deliberately showing the political atmosphere of that era. In the current domestic film environment, it is not easy. The whole movie is quite simple, focusing on comprehensive and in-depth display of wolf nature, and it also has a ladder in the sublimation of emotion, advancing layer by layer, and finally reaching a climax. Visually, the aerial shots and details of the grassland scenery and wolves hunting are also quite exciting. Watching this movie, my confidence in Chinese movies is a little stronger. No matter how bad the environment is, there are always people who do things seriously.
