I have endured the stories of young people who are alive in the wild with their intelligence and courage and the companion of sincere dogs for generations. This is why it is not surprising that the most recent of this type alphaIt has a new wave of popularity on Netflix. What is surprising is that the story of survival for a boy and his successor, unlike the films of the prehistoric cave man, as it is not only good, but there is a real scientific theory behind the plot.

Boy and his dog

alpha Twist Big Twist on this classic type that has its own sub-class on Netflix is ​​its preparation, 20,000 years in the past, with a hunting ceremony competing for the wild and unforgettable wild animals, when the son of the sheikh, Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Busty alive, the boy fights a group of wolves, leaving one of them with a healthy person and decides to name alpha. Together, the boy and his wolf are the battle of wolf, black, ritual weather, extreme cold, and repeatedly, save each other’s life.

Going to pre -date may be a touch of Yukon’s standard preparation for these stories, but this is not the only thing alpha Dare to do differently from other films NetflixThere is no English, or for this issue, that is, another language that we know today. The entire film speaks in the prehistoric tribe language with translations on the screen, and the result is that it greatly attracts you in the harsh world to keep the most suitable. It is a bold decision that pays off, but thanks to the simple and well -short plot and tremendous acting, it can work without translations.

Alpha uses a real science to bring history to life

Strange enough, alpha It is a original film, not for Netflix or anything like that, but for dogs. The techniques used by Keda and the way he hunts with his new wild companion combines multiple archaeologists around dog domestication. It turns out that those memes that you may have seen about the wolf are wondering what is the worst thing that can happen about the approaching of the camp’s fire to the human being is about to reality.

Pay lipstick to archaeology and biology alpha before 10,000 BCBut Kodi Smit-McPhee’s ability to pull emotional scenes against CGI only makes it the best prehistoric movie in decades, and easily the best on Netflix today .. Critics gave the movie a new rating of 87 percent on 87 percent Spoiled tomatoesAlthough the masses were ranked 71 percent, which is not bad for what could have been a complete volatility. Instead, the film achieved a small success, as it achieved 98.2 million dollars at the box office, almost doubling its budget, and remains a Running Hit for seven years and count.

alpha It is also a great movie with vast shots of the vast wilderness and the amazing use of shade and light to make the fire feel like the only safe place in the world. This feeling was in the European version Morgan Freeman Dulcet tones as the narrator, and although it was left outside the version that flows on Netflix today, this is the time that the movie is better without the participation of Freeman. If you have to read Hachit At school, I saw Fang whiteand Iron willand Eight belowOr any of the survival films based on other dogs, you owe yourself to broadcast the movie Kodi Smit-McPhee, which is still alive in history.
