5 out of 5 stars Most excellent adaptation   December 22, 2005

Gold was found in Alaska, the rush to obtain it required a strong constitution and many dogs to do the work that horses usually did in the states. The environment bred harsh attitudes. Also in the testing of ones mettle one finds their true potential. pBuck (larger than most dogs) goes through many lives, trials, and tribulations finally realizing his potential. On the way he learns many concepts from surprise, to deceit, and cunning; he also learns loyalty, devotion, and love. As he is growing he feels the call of the wild. brYou do not have to have read the book to follow the story. However being film much is accelerated and leaves less time for character and drama buildup. A few characters are removed but the main characters do not have to be modified to fill in the gaps.pFor those that have read the book you will notice the narration is word for word extracted from the book. You may also recognize the narrator's voice as that of Richard Dreyfuss. The dialog was modified to cover much of the narration that was left out or the descriptions that were not portrayed.brA few stories were left out or modified for brevity. The main difference is a lot of the blood and guts were replaced with inferences and a story where he gets the stuffing beat out of him is replaced with a threat of being shot. My only disappointment was leaving out the part where Buck, as wild as he becomes, periodically visits the place of John Thornton's demise.
