Frank Grillo was just mentioned on this board and I thought of this movie.
This film is an allegory imo. Forget that it an inaccurate portrayal of wolf behavior, etc.
Draw your own conclusions.
Not for everyone. I liked this film.
What is the allegory?
shareSymbolic allegory imo.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/allegory
"Personification allegory is a type of allegory in which a fictional character represents a concept or a type. The character Everyman in the medieval play of that name and the Lover in The Romance of the Rose are figures of personification allegory. Symbolic allegory is one in which a character or material thing is not merely a transparent vehicle for an idea, but also has a recognizable identity or a narrative autonomy apart from the message it conveys. The poet Virgil in Dante's Inferno, a historical figure representing human reason within the poem, is an example of a symbolic allegorical figure."
The depiction of wolves is not realistic. The wolves are allegorical. Open to interpretation.
Thanks for the response.
