An enjoyable adventure
I saw this film in my Biology class since we were learning about organisms and how they interact with their environment. I’d have to say that this was a good movie and pretty enjoyable. Charles Martin Smith had a good performance and the script made him have good dialogue, along with him narrating almost most of the film too. I liked how the main character inhabited in all the places he encountered to and how he became friends with the Inuit. I thought those scenes were included nicely in the film. Overall, a good adventure that was interesting throughout the movie. I recommend it.Hedeen’s Outlook: 8/10 *** B
Strangely hypnotic in quality
This movie starts a bit slow and goofy. We follow a man named Tyler (Charles Martin Smith) as he prepares for his mission to study the wolves of Northern American wilderness and at first the movie doesn’t quite get the mood correctly. At times the awkwardness comes off very well and we’re genuinely sorry for this poor man, who clearly has no idea what he’s about to delve into. But then there are certain scenes where the illusion kind of breaks, like the scene where he starts to write his first report, in the middle of a frozen lake, during a howling windstorm. Captivating scene in its own way, but it still felt like the writer had momentarily dropped the ball, so to speak.Nevertheless, the movie quickly improves as Tyler proves to be made of tougher stuff than we initially assumed. And from thereon this is an amazing film. Hauntingly beautiful, insightful, profound, philosophical, at times educational, well-written and, above all else, soothingly hypnotic. The plot is in no hurry. The movie follows Tyler around and just sits right next to him as he studies the wolves, observing both him and the wildlife.
Granted, if that was the whole movie, it would probably be a bit on the boring side, but there’s a side plot about two Inuits, who Tyler befriends and from whom he learns more about the wilderness and the wolves.
Still, the greatest aspect of this movie, the one that truly works, is the technical side of things, especially the mood that is created through cinematography, music and careful narration by Smith. There’s dialogue between Tyler and the Inuits, but by far the greatest scenes in this movie are the silent ones, where the visuals and the music are allowed to fill your consciousness and transport you to an older era, where the laws of men have never existed. I swear that if nature ever had a soundtrack, it would prominently feature the score of this film.
And that’s my two cents. I highly recommend seeing this film, to everyone. It’s one part nature documentary, one part adventure film and one part spiritual quest. At first it’s very unassuming, but it has hidden power on its side and it needs to be experienced for one to understand its worth.
