In an era obsessed with releasing films based on classical literature, the question arises – why hasn’t a movie been made yet based on Jack London’s book “Call of the Wild”? After all, it is one of the few stories that will touch the soul of readers of any age. And the day “D” has come. The 20th Century Fox television studio has released a film based on the author’s story.
This is not just a film inspired by the novel. It is a true masterpiece for adventure lovers. Just look at the cast. Harrison Ford, Karen Gillan, Kara Gee, Dan Stevens, and Bradley Whitford immerse viewers in the era of the “Gold Rush” of the late 19th century.
Call of the Wild: A Love Story
For those unfamiliar with the source (Jack London’s book), the story may seem incomplete. Trying to “peek” during the screening, the film studio missed hundreds of interesting moments revealing the personality of the main character – a dog named Buck. But these are minor details. The plot remains interesting for any generation.
A dog named Buck is a sled dog who, by chance, ends up on an ordinary Californian ranch. His love for his family and strange eagerness for freedom disturb the young dog. On one hand – peace and comfort at home. On the other hand – a strange desire to break free.
And fate is kind to the main character of the story – Buck. The dog ends up in Alaska. In harsh winter conditions, Buck demonstrates his character and insatiable desire to survive in any environment. The title of the novel “Call of the Wild” perfectly fits the situations faced by Buck and his faithful companion.
Definitely, the film should be watched by adults, teenagers, and children alike. In terms of the film story, it flows in one breath. And interestingly, viewers are more concerned about the fate of an ordinary dog than humans. Everything is understood through comparison. Enjoy your viewing.
