After reading The Call of the Wild by Jack London, my boys and I hosted a Call of the Wild party for family and a friend. The boys presented information about the book and time period, we ate typical miner fare and we watched the 2020 movie.
We liked the book better but enjoyed the movie too.
The main plot was intact but Buck's adventures with John Thornton were altered signficiantly, especially how Thornton dies. Thornton also encounters Buck several different times throughout the movie before officially "owning" him. In the book Thornton meets him for the first time when Hal, Charles and Mercedes are forcing him and the dog team to cross soft ice. Mercedes is portrayed as kinder than she was in the book. Policital correctness was incorporated in several spots.
Buck and the other dogs are C.G.I It is noticeable.
Rated: PG (violence, peril, drinking)
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
