Perfect cast and a good story

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Its not a difficult film to follow. The USA state of Alaska is in Canada. To be specific: USA West Coast-Northernmost state, Washington, borders with Canada British Columbia. Directly above the state of British Columbia, Canada, is Yukon state, Canada. West of Yukon state, Canada, borders once more with USA, state of Alaska of USA. Which is where one of two wolf stories, this one, White Fang, begins. THE OTHER WOLF STORY IS BUCK, aka: CALL OF THE WILD. Its an American story: HOWEVER: the word "Yukon" used by the characters in the film is instead a state in Canada. YOU NEED TO SHOW YOUR PASSPORT TO CROSS FROM ALASKA TO YUKON. Another point is: (Using a map) You will notice that Jack London's story is superstitious: THE OWNER OF THE WOLF ALWAYS IS IN PERIL AT- WHAT PLACE IS NEVER CALLED BY NAME(name of city) "somewhere in the Yukon wilderness". Look at the map of Canada again: "Wilderness" is state EAST OF YUKON STATE what state extends NORTHWARD UNTIL THE NORTH POLE AREA. Once you realize this: You will know that the suspense/superstition is nothing more than walking in the Kalahari desert without using a tour agency. The Canada Government did not built roads nor cities in THAT PARTICULAR STATE OF Canada. HELL! IF THIS WAS WHAT THE USA GOVERNMENT DID WITH California WHAT THE Canada GOVERNMENT DID WITH N- STATE OF Canada THEN THE WOLF OWNER WOULD BE IN THAT SORT OF PERIL IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES CITY!!!

An emotional person often dreams about/craves for a life that's allows him to stay with his dear ones forever, without being forced to move on. The movie fulfills this desire.A glimpse of the harsh Nature, surreal panoramas of mountains, rivers etc., the abhorrent human tendencies and innocence and love struggling to survive their unending ordeals are captivating. The boat trips by Alex and Jack, their visit to the Indian village which is calm and content, eating and sleeping under the open sky, the wood house by the river. The dog fighting not only devastates but also infuriates, the misanthropist was rising ! The way Beauty Smith vexes and starves White Fang leaves heartbroken.Bart, The Bear and Jed have played their roles impeccably. Yes, there are several moments that are unconvincing e.g: The bear retreats when a wolfdog gets enraged.The fatherly Alex and the teenager, dreamer and emotionally impulsive Jack touch your hearts. The eventual maturing of Jack is depicted lovably in the movie - steadily befriending White Fang, driving him away for his own good. Alex who is initially uncomfortable with Jack but later own takes a liking for the boy - he gradually opens up and stays with Jack to assist him realize the dream of the gold mine. Jack, as an emotionally attached and honest person, enlists Alex as a partner in the mine, while reading this, a slight smile and good feel reflects on his face. When at the eleventh hour, Jack decides to stay back, Alex smiles lightly, acknowledging in a fatherly way, the feelings of a young boy. I often hate unrealistic endings, even if happy, however, there are times when you wish to shun the logic and pray for a happy end.The background score suits the moods of the movie, the cinematography is memorable.To summarize, it's an emotional journey, emotions that neither understand nor care about the rational or the practical world.

White Fang is loosely based on stories written by famous author, Jack London. The movie is a family-friendly adventure with themes on friendship. Friendships between humans and animals are always a sweet story to tell, which makes this film even more valuable. The film itself is pretty realistic in portraying this relationship. The film does show animal cruelty at times, so I was rooting against the sadistic abusers in the movie the entire time. This film is about a teen named Jack Conroy who travels up to the Yukon Territory in Alaska in search for gold. Along his travels, he meet this half dog/half wolf and becomes fascinated with it. The half-breed on the other hand, has been abused most of his life after hunters killed his mother. He has been forced to fight in dog-fighting matches and is trained to be a cold-blooded killer. But this unlikely friendship between boy and dog is a key to survival for them both. The film is reasonably acted. Ethan Hawke does a really good job, in one of his younger roles as Jack Conroy. This isn't his best role, but it's an effective one. Also, the Alaskan malamute, Jed deserves props as well because he does darn well as the half-breed. Overall, White Fang is a fun family movie about friendship. The movie is suitable for children, although there may be a few scary scenes (one involving an open coffin). I really enjoyed watching the film and particularly the scenes that showed the friendship between human and dog. A very realistic portrayal, I might add. My Grade: A-

The film deals about a very young man (Ethan Hawke) going to Klondike , Alaska territory , where there's a mine which inherited from his deceased father . There he meets prospectors (Klaus Maria Brandauer and Seymour Cassel) and they go on looking for gold . The protagonist befriends a mixed dog-wolf called ¨White Fang¨ for its white and sharp tooth when he is saved during the attack of a bear . After that , he rescues to White Fang from hands a villainous (James Remar) who utilized it for illegal dogs fighting . The picture is based on autobiographic life of Jack London , as in his real life was a gold seeker or prospector . Furthermore , there remains the essential elements as the young-dog friendship , the gold rush , spectacular outdoors and snowy locations and several moving scenes . Authentic film stars are the animals , there appear the followings : dogs, wolves , bear and specially ¨White Fang¨ incarnated by a magnificent animal , middle wolf and dog . As says the warning in the beginning of the movie , the animals aren't mistreated but they're well cared by an exceptional trainers group . The best part of film are the spectacular snowy outdoors , the marvelous landscapes are stunningly photographed by Tom Pierce Roberts . The film is wonderfully set in Klondike -Yukon territory- on the end XIX century and was filmed in sensational scenarios and gorgeous landscapes . The movie is a feast for the eyes and ears that captures the adventure feeling as few others have ever done . Ethan Hawke as a young adventurer is nice , he's a newcomer and would have much success later on , converting himself in a world star . Evocative and atmospheric musical score by Basil Poledouris (author of Conan soundtrack) . The film was one of the various adaptations about Jack London novel , though differs partially from the book (other pictures were directed by David Butler , Lucio Fulci and Italian exploitation) . The movie got an official sequel : ¨White Fang II, myth of the white wolf¨ , though differs significantly from the book , being directed by Ken Olin , starred Scott Bairstow , Alfred Molina and Geoffrey Lewis . The motion picture was rightly directed by Randal Kleiser (Grease) . The flick will appeal to animals enthusiast and adventure cinema fans. Rating : Good and entertaining , it maintains the charm and magic of the classic novel but still makes for decent kiddies amusement .
