Beautiful snow-capped mountain scenery, an eagle soaring in the sky, innocent and cute little boy and beautiful and agile white dog, this is the picture presented to us in the movie "Spirit Dog Shirley". Such a beautiful picture, it is shrouded in the shadow of war, cruel war has changed people's way of life, but it can not change the warmth and kindness hidden behind it, just like the beauty of nature, it can not be blocked.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by the famous French director, writer and explorer Nicolas Vannier, "Shirley the Greyhound". The book tells the story of a small town at the foot of the Alps during World War II, when a young boy Sebastian domesticated the greyhound Shirley, and the french doctor Guillaume and the German officer Braunet joined forces to win the stowaways a chance to survive. The storyline in the text is ups and downs, fascinating, and the language is vivid and vivid, and the intriguing is evocative.
A "wild dog", fearful of shotguns, carefully guarded against human roundups.
A "soldier" who is cruel and rude, and will never lay down his arms even if he is hated by everyone.

A poor village doctor who heals people's pain and at the same time wants to save people's hearts.
When the "wild dogs" meet the boys, when the soldiers meet the doctors, when everything is overturned, there is such a force, not far away, but always protecting each other.
1, animals and people, no one is born fierce.
Sebastian, an eight-year-old boy, did not go to school, and he followed his grandfather Caesar and the mountains all day long, and he was in the company of nature. Grandpa Caesar hated war in his heart, because war, even if there is culture, one day with a gun in his hand in the mud, uncultured or knowledgeable, all fell because of war. Grandpa warned Sebastian that a "beast" had appeared on the mountain, with its hideous face and a large mouth of blood, that it was crazy, that it was cruel, and that it was desperate to harm people and livestock. Grandpa Caesar went to great lengths to catch the Beast, and he set a trap for the Beast to appear. The boy Sebastian was a kind child, and he longed for the other side of the mountain, the Americas in Grandpa's mouth, where there was his mother. His impression of his mother was wonderful, and how he longed for her return. The boy and the "beast" met in the mountains, but the "beast" did not hurt the child, the boy looked forward to meeting the "beast" again, and after patiently placing food and searching again and again, the boy finally came into contact with the "beast". It is actually a big dog, because the dog owner's cruel abuse of it has led to its distrust of the gun-wielding humans. The boy and the big dog gradually established trust, and after some river washing, the big dog revealed its true face, it was no longer a black dirty "wild dog", but a snow white big dog. The boy named it "Shirley." "Shirley" rescues Caesar's wolf-besieged sheep, pulls back the wounded Dr. Guillaume in a sleigh, and leads the stowaways to successfully escape the Germans.
Animals, like people, are not born fierce.
2) Behind the war, peace-loving people can build friendships across nationalities
Dr. Guillaume was a French country doctor who treated and saved people, but he was also an "underground man" who silently sent Jews out of the country. In order for the dear girl Angelina not to be implicated, he did not tell the secret of his heart. Lieutenant Braunet, a German officer who hated war, reprimanded his men harshly for failing to arrest stowaways, but in fact had been working with Dr. Guillaume to provide Information on German patrols so that they could send stowaways out of the country. If it weren't for the doctor's injury, Angelina traveled for the doctor, and Lieutenant Braunet would never have told the secret. He was also in love with this girl, and he was doing everything in his power to help her. This sharp reversal of the plot has turned people from disgust to admiration, and they are also touched by this friendship across nationalities.
Everyone is doing their best to live for each other, and the world is never just about themselves. This warmth and kindness hidden behind the war moved us, and "Shirley the GreyHound" is very worth reading.
