A love-letter to magnificent wilderness and our best friends, striking just the right sentiment. The computer-enhancement brings to life all the nuanced emotion we like to imagine they'd express if they could. https://t.co/NyVQPln6FP— Phil Oliver (@OSOPHER) February 29, 2020
And do read the book.
“He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars.”
“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.
This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad in a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.”
― Jack London, The Call of the Wild

I wish we could have our "Summits of Life" recorded from an outside perspective so we can see a point of true happiness in our lives.
ReplyDeleteI totally i agree with you but as you already know nobody will wanna do that. And at the end of the day we wonder what is wrong with this life
ReplyDeleteI wish the dog was an actual dog in the movie, not CGI! I feel like it makes the movie ingenuine, I guess that's why it was a book, but nonetheless the message is still there. Good for Buck!
