On January 26, 2024, the movie "Vicky's Secret" was exclusively broadcast on "Huanxi Premiere", a streaming media platform owned by Huanxi Media.
Wolfs are beautiful and powerful beings to many people. They are cunning, shrewd and elusive. Films such as "Girl and the Wolf", "Living with Wolves" and "White Teeth" depict the beautiful friendship between humans and wolves.
A man encountered a small furry animal in the mountains. He mistakenly thought it was a lost puppy and took it home. Unexpectedly, the animal grew longer and weirder. Only then did the father realize that he had given it to him. My three-year-old daughter received a real wolf as a gift.
This story takes place in real life. This wolf named "Secret" did not harm the little master. On the contrary, because he grew up next to humans, he was considerate and brought a lot of joy to the little master.
Denis Amber, the director of "Paris", heard this story by chance. He had always wanted to make a movie far away from the madding crowd, and was immediately attracted by the story of this man and the wolf. He found a producer, and they hit it off immediately, creating a simple and touching children's movie. It's the masterpiece "Vicky's Secret" that Huanxi premieres exclusively online today.
At the beginning of the millennium, "Wolf Totem" became popular all over the country and is still being reprinted to this day. The strategy and wisdom displayed by the steppe wolf are amazing. Denis Amber believes that the first people on earth hunted with wolves. In the Stone Age, people tamed wolves and made wolves a good assistant for hunting.
The memory of walking with wolves is deeply engraved in everyone’s genes. The mystery of wolves deeply attracts everyone.
Father and daughter live in seclusion in a beautiful mountainous area, and an "unexpected gift" breaks their peaceful life
The French Cantal Mountains are the largest volcanic area in Europe and the birthplace of delicious Cantal cheese. The rolling mountains and green grass here, The numerous river valleys make it the best place for hiking.
After the death of his wife, doctor Stefan took his daughter Victoria to settle in the old house in Cantal. After losing her mother, Victoria resented her father and was unwilling to speak anymore, closing herself in a small world.
A peaceful life is undoubtedly what the father and daughter need most at the moment, but the complex terrain here also gives them a headache. One day, the father and daughter got lost and met a kind hunter by chance.
Victoria was wandering around the cottage when a young "puppy" caught her eye. When Victoria asked its name, the hunter blurted out: Secret. Just like that, "Secret" became its name.
Victoria put the "secret" in her backpack and kept it in her room. But soon, Stefan discovered this little guy peeing everywhere. With the "secret", Victoria became cheerful and lively. Her father was happy to see his daughter happy and kept her.
Stefan always thought that the secret was a shepherd dog. It was not until the genetic test results came out that he was surprised to learn that the "secret" that accompanied his daughter day and night was actually a pure-blooded wolf!
In the Kantal Mountains, sheep are an important source of income for local people, and calls for hunting wolves have been repeatedly banned in the local area. After learning about the existence of the "secret", the animal protection agency and the villagers made it clear that the "secret" cannot stay here even if it does not hurt anyone.
Victoria remembered her father saying that she would "never give up on her family", and she vowed not to leave the "secret" behind, but how much could an eight-year-old girl do? In the process of maintaining the "secret", Victoria made the final choice for this friendship...
From encounter to separation, "Vicky's Secret" tells a pure and beautiful fairy tale of a human-wolf that takes place in the earthly world. It's like a good pot of soup, with simple ingredients and delicious flavor. In real life, Victoria and Coyote are still clinging to each other closely after many years, but in the movie, Victoria and Coyote are with each other day and night, inseparable. This is far from the dangers of wolves in people's minds.
However, as an animal protection movie suitable for children, blindly exaggerating the harmlessness of wolves is not the core of the film's expression. Wolves are undoubtedly carnivorous beasts, and it obviously takes time for a child to accept the fact that the weak can eat the strong.
"Vicki's Secret" is considerate of children and handles this point more gently. In the early stage, the little wolf was responsible for being cute and showing off. In the later stage, the wolf's nature gradually emerged. As the little master slowly accepted it, he finally understood that the wolf cannot be raised. The whole process of moisturizing is silent and will not cause any abrupt appearance.
In addition, the movie also does a relatively good job in popularizing animal protection science. It not only brings out the contradictory relationship between wild animals and human activities, but also mentions the current personal and property compensation mechanism and the necessity of building animal reserves. Coupled with the beautiful mountainous scenery of France, both adults and children can gain knowledge and healing from this movie.
Respecting animals is also respecting human beings.
Director Denis Amber set two points at the beginning of the project: First, the entire film will be shot with real wolves, without the need for 3D special effects, to ensure that the relationship between animals and people is real. . Second, the actor and the wolf must gradually become familiar with each other, and they must be patient and wait for the emotion to occur.
A total of seven real wolves were used in the film "Vicki's Secret", and the "eighth wolf" in the film is the young actress Shanna Kyle. In order to build a bond with the cub, the little girl visits the trainer every week to see the cub. They worked well together in the movie, and outside of the movie, the memory of the wolf also shocked the creators.
A year later, this wolf cub still remembers Shanna Kyle. When it saw her, it happily ran over and lay down next to her in a submissive posture. Denis Amber showed this scene to his son, and he really thought the wolf in the scene was a docile dog.
"Vicky's Secret" was filmed across summer and winter. In addition to the true relationship between man and wolf, the people in this film also showed extraordinary humanity. After the father in the movie discovered the "secret" identity, his first reaction was to isolate rather than kill. In addition, he tried his best to delay the handover for his daughter. He can truly be called a respectful, careful and responsible person for his daughter. 's father.
In the movie, except for the villagers who have an antagonistic relationship with wolves, most people are patient and friendly towards animals. Especially the hunter who is a friend of the forest. He clearly pointed out that it is not the animals that are dangerous, but people. At a time when news about cat and dog abuse is endless, these people set a good example for us on how to treat animals.
In reality, many people raise wild animals for curiosity. However, no matter how beautiful the relationship is, it is not a kind of protection for wild animals. Respecting nature and returning to nature is the best gift for them.
At the end of the movie, the audience will see a set of magical photos. The real-life girl Victoria, who "secretly" met a wolf cub at the age of three, is still with her best friend when she grows up.
"Vicky's Secret" is a story about friendship. Even if a pair of friends are geographically separated, their relationship will not fade due to separation. As the well-known "Pearl Bird" writes: "Trust often creates a beautiful state."
