Wordiezett So much average
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
GUENOT PHILIPPE Yes folks, Don't confound this feature speaking about wild dogs with Sam Fuller's WHITE DOG and speaking about the nearly same scheme. Both are masterpieces anyway.
Leofwine_draca Striking modern viewers with a forceful impact, WHITE GOD is a film that dog lovers should fear: it presents a taut and realistic tale of canine oppression and brutality that builds to some satisfying moments, but nonetheless presents near-endless animal cruelty along the way. As a dog lover myself I found it a tough watch, the kind of film that wears its heart on its sleeve for the most part. This overlong Hungarian allegorical tale offers a cautionary fable about the necessity of treating animals well and the consequences that can occur when they're treated badly. The scenes featuring the little girl are repetitive and endless and unnecessary, but the scenes with the dogs are spot on, harking back to classic stories like THE PLAGUE DOGS and WHITE DOG. What's most remarkable is that they were shot via live action with some wonderfully convincing performances from the dogs themselves.
patoclsdnn I was scared of this film, mostly because I love dogs and I sympathize with them too much. Having that said, I really liked this film, because it shows a more human side to them, without dwelling into parody (like making them "talk" of performing antics just to entertain us), even though I think the depiction of the life stray dogs have is more tragic than what the film suggests, I am grateful the film didn't resort to the horrors of it.The parallelism with The Birds is very accurate in my opinion, the "invasion" and the effect it has on it's habitants is similar to what I can recall in TB. The acting was on point, specially the canines, even if at some points you could undoubtedly tell some of them were told to play dead, which kind off lessened the film but made them look extra cute...I wholeheartedly hope people, after watching this film, question themselves and discuss among them how are we treating dogs, and how we envision them within our family circle, are they just part of our furniture? Are they members of our family? I think they're the later and we should act accordingly.
socrates99 I heard Terri Gross of Fresh Air talk about this film with the dog trainer and though I didn't hear the whole interview, I was expecting something amazing as she was gushing over it. Instead it's only mildly entertaining.The lead, a young girl, maybe 13, is clearly not a professional but holds the screen well enough. The story is she is forced to spend a summer with her divorced father and is unable to have her dog Hagen with her. Her dog is abandoned in the city by her father and falls in with people who fight dogs. He gets away but goes on a vendetta to kill humans with a dog pack he leads.Honestly, I found the little bits about Hungary more interesting than the dog scenes and I love dogs. I would have failed miserably to stage some of the action scenes but they're still not that impressive. I can only guess that Ms Gross is afraid of dogs.
