I'm gonna be right on that blu ray, that's all that matters...I loved it:

 

-the moving (helicopter?) shot of the landscape at the beginning. I like stuff like that. Prometheus' beginning?

-the buffalo herd

-the relationship between the boy and wolf

- the wolf willing to give her life to save the boy, in a ferocious fight with a big cat. The boy intervenes, firing an arrow at the fight. The cave is dark, so you're not sure which one took the arrow. The cat was killed, and you're thinking the wolf us okay, but it collapses badly wounded from the fight 

-the surprise a the end. Then you remembered that the wolf left him for a day and came back 🙂.

 

Awesome movie, cant wait to see it again, in the right format IMAX.

good numbers so far, should hold up well despite direct competition.

Enjoyed this. Even with the screensavery look there's still a better sense of old-fashioned big-screen grandeur here than in almost anything else I've seen this year.

Good documentary style movie about taming a wild animal.  It doesn't raise issues about our domesticated animal problem, but the story brings to light the position we are in as a tribe against the animals.  B- (8.2/10)

Haiku is a style of poetry which originates from Japan. A poem in this style utilizes a specific syllable structure using three lines:

 

Five Syllables

Seven Syllables

Five Syllables

 

Here is an example of a Haiku:

 

Love is not a game.

There is neither cards nor dice;

only hearts in play.
