Beautifull film but dont watch when emotional unstable or when you cant stand animal death
I just can not understand why there are not even more films like this out there. this is a perfect example of real location filming and not just filmed on a animated background. this is why I love this film more then some of the others that are out there. I would if I could watch this film all the time because it is so great. Another good thing about the film is the perfect accompanying soundtrack that comes with it. there is not a better film out there than this. this film for me is perfect for all ages. the thing that is even better is the fact it is also based on a real life event. just like another film I like that is animated called balto.
I love this movie but I cry so much every time I see it. Because it's about huskies, and some of two of them die, and I have huskies, so it makes me very emotional. This movie is about having to leave huskies behind. Paul Walker's character, Jerry Shepard must leave his eight huskies in the Arctic, on their own. And they're chained up, and have to escape, and sadly, one of them, the oldest, Old Jack, didn't make it off the chain. *Insert tears here*, wait you don't have to, I'm already crying. Seriously. Just talking about it makes me want to cry so bad. Then we see the puppies go through many things, like other animals attacking them, them watching the Northern Lights, one of them falling down a big hill, him breaking his legs, and the other having to leave him there. And they didn't want to. They wanted to stay with him. *Insert next set of tears here*, once again, don't have to. When Jerry comes back with his crew to save the dogs, he finds Old Jack buried under the snow, and says "They didn't even make it off the leash", then he lifts the other chain links up, and realizes that the others did. Then he sees all of the dogs run over the hill, towards him, and says "five out of eight, not bad", but with sadness and tears, obviously. But then, one of the dogs won't get on the helicopter. Instead, the dog takes Jerry over the hill, to one of the dogs that had hurt, and couldn't move. He then took all of the dogs away on the helicopter, and the rest survived.I mainly got so upset about this movie, because I found out that it was based on a real story, which means, in some way, this really happened, and that is so depressing. All in all, six out of eight dogs surviving being alone and having to get food and shelter for themselves, when they've always gotten it from humans, is pretty good.Overall, I give this movie a 10 out of 10. But I do cry every time.
i'd like to give this movie with 10 star but there're the things that i can't do it. this movie tells about the love between the 8 dogs and their owner that you should feel in the way that he doesn't want to but i'm still thinking if i was him i won't do something like that with my dogs. someone should put them in the house and left them some feeds until they can come back to pick them up. why did he tied them outside? his owner didn't get hurt so hard he can do it. if they were mine, i will stay with them instead. i love the movies of the animal but i don't want to take the dramas, the reason i watch this movie is it's belong to walt Disney, i know that walt Disney's movies are not sad, but in this you lost 2 dogs so i wonder that is it really base on the true story? there're 6 dogs left in the end, Jerry knew that Old Jack died but the other he didn't even try to find out, just thought by himself that the other must died too. some in this movie doesn't make sense. that's why i can't give 1 more star.
