Eight Below

[mon]

This is one remarkable film, based on a true story. A story of 8 siberian huskies left chained outside a research station when the humans pull out in a hurry before a stormy cold Antartic winter. It's heart wrenching when the subtitles keep count of how long the dogs have been on their own: 50 days ... 133 days ... 155 days ...the dogs are respected for their basic animal natures and truly, selfless love for one another.

The movie's most compelling moment is when Maya, the team leader, sacrifices her food for another, as she knows her time was coming up, after being bitten by a sea leopard. When there are closeups of a dog's face, absorbed in thought, anxiety or yearning, we aren't asked to believe anything we don't already know or believe about dogs. They think, worry and yearn, and they love, too.

Everyone, it doesn't matter if you own a dog or not. Do go watch it. This movie is about stuffs..that we humans lack..most of the times.

8 below.....B

Yes , very touchy movie..especially the dogs affair..see different dog attitude..some will lost direction and give up to die..some will fight for live ...some will lead..some will sacrifice...some will show tremendous courage..some show brain..etc..All this shown by the huskies dogs when they owner have to abandon them..

Also the scenery in artic very interesting..The sea leopard is scary almost like monster jump out from "something"..haha..

The most interesting part is the doggies affair..
Supposed based on a true event about a dommed jap artic expedition..

Nice movie go see see..nice nice...doggie power!

I don't mind ya. Actually I do share a husky with my brother but she's in Melaka. Her name is Snowball ( name given by my nephew and niece ). Very strong and sturdy doggie, now about a year old. She looks a lot like Max in the movie. Devilish eyes, mostly black grey and whilte in color.
Yes, she hangs out in the living hall most of the times. Under the air-cond. :p She's a beauty but a big bully. She bullies my bro's lab.
