The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Based on the novel with the same name by American author Jack London, the film follows the book's eponymous character, a wild wolf-dog hybrid. The story begins with our star Jack (played by Ethan Hawke) who is searching for his deceased father's claim in the 1890's. Most of the film involves Jack and his new partner Alex (played by Klaus Maria Brandauer) overcoming various challenges and hostility from both animals and people until they do eventually make it to his father's claim and the journey was well worth it. The acting is very solid from everyone all involved and even though at times it can be quite violent (for the animals at least) you can't help but be astounded by the production values and amount of time they must have spent training these animals up to produce such realistic fight scenes.Finally, this is definitely an enjoyable film to watch for both children and adults with some of the most beautiful scenic photography I have ever seen!

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.

When I saw this movie, I thought that this would definitely not be as good as the novel by Jack London. The book White Fang was amazing, and a fantastic book. Well, this was not as good as the book, and it was not close to it at all. Still, this was a great movie, but like I said in my summary, I like Iron Will just a bit better.The acting was very well-done to tell you the truth. You could actually believe the actors. The direction was also very good. Some scenes could be beautiful, some scenes could be gritty. Unfortunately, like all of these family movies, some scenes could be cheesy, and there was a handful of scenes that were cheesy. Still, with all of these pros and just a couple cons, this is a fantastic movie that the whole family can enjoy.7/10 Recommended Films: Iron Will.

WHITE FANG, in my opinion, is a very touching movie that's well-acted about a special friendship for all ages that will warm your heart. When White Fang became orphaned, I felt like crying. However, I really loved the relationship between Jack (Ethan Hawke) and White Fang. If I could have, I would have loved to have been friends with the animal. In addition, I liked the other animals, too. The score was good, the costumes were perfectly designed, everyone was cast perfectly, and the direction was flawless. In conclusion, I highly recommend this very touching movie that's well-acted about a special friendship for all ages to anyone who hasn't seen it. You're in for a real treat and a good time, so go to the video store, rent it or buy it, kick back with someone close to you, and watch it. I guarantee you you'll thoroughly enjoy it.
