I feel that this movie had showed us very vivid examples of two themes, loyalty and perseverance.
Loyalty was portrayed in the movie not only when the dogs were very loyal to Jerry and brought him back to base after the expedition even without Jerry's supervision and guidance as the dogs knew that their master was in danger and they ran as hard as they could back to the base to ensure Jerry and Dr McLaren's safety. The dogs also always hoped that Jerry would return and would not give up on them and when Jerry returned, they were quick on their noses and pick up Jerry's scent. Even after months of separation, the dogs were very loyal to be still able to find their daddy.
Perseverance was also a theme in the movie. During the months of separation, Jerry seized and tackled every opportunity to return back to the base, even though he knew that nobody would travel back to the Poles during the winter season and the chances were very slim. However, Jerry was adamant and tried all his means to gather support from others for a trip back to save his dogs.
The dogs also persevered during the months when they were on their own. They fought for their survival and devised many means get food for survival. They kept together as a team and worked hand in hand to catch birds for food and also fed on a whale. They braved difficult situations together such as being confronted by a tiger seal.
In conclusion, I feel that this movie is verytouching as it shows brotherhood and perseverance and I urge everyone to watch this excellent movie.
