Review of the film "Alpha"

in #movies6 years ago (edited)

Alpha is an American film directed by Albert Hughes, a man who, along with his brother, shot the film The Book of Eli and The City of Vice. The story revolves around the son of the tribal leader, who for the first time in his life goes hunting. During the hunt buffalo or some other ancient animal throws the guy off the cliff. Everyone believes that he died, but the boy survived, having got rid of a fright and a broken leg. Returning home to the guy is attacked by a pack of wolves. The main character miraculously fights and, climbing a tree manages to injure one of the wolves. In the end, the guy is sorry to kill the wolf and he decides to save him.

Let's start straight away - finally! Finally something good at the cinema !!! After the "statham", "mother of the mission," "judgment nights," "thrown the spies" and "axels," finally a good movie! I honestly did not have any hopes for this picture, but I'm very glad that the film was able to surprise me. This story is about a boy who, due to circumstances, has to become an adult and the first friendship between a man and a wolf. The plot is simple, but the film is exciting and touching. In some places it is very romantic, but it goes to tape only as a plus. I experienced the whole movie for both the wolf and the guy.

Mental cinema. Inspired by how the protagonist overcomes himself, coping with the difficulties. And in general the film is like a breath of fresh air. Recently, a lot of similar paintings, here, so to speak, a new location - a distant past. Long time not listen to the visual point of view.

It's incredible! So many beautiful frames, landscapes, so many colors, shades ... I was delighted with what a beautiful picture in the movie. In terms of visuals, this is probably the best film this year at the moment. Thanks to the unique shooting and musical component, the film has an excellent atmosphere. I was able to immerse myself in the movie.

Excellent relationship between man and wolf is revealed. Immediately in the head climbing comparisons between Axel and Alpha. As smoothly and competently, the friendship between the protagonist and Alpha was gradually tied up and how ineptly and freshly, suddenly the friendship between Axel and Miles began. And the situation is identical: both wounded the animal, both looked after. And the difference between filing and disclosure is colossal.

Summarize. Alpha is a good film with a very cool visual, a simple and touching story. The film can be viewed by the whole family. Western critics and viewers very well met the film - 86% of positive reviews, I am in agreement with this opinion. Alpha though a simple, but very competently built story. My rating of the film is 8 out of 10. I recommend to view.

Thank you for attention!
