The Wild Wild's song "London" is an upbeat and dreamy tune that speaks of wanderlust and the yearning to escape the dreary weather and monotony of everyday life. The opening lyrics suggest that the singer is considering moving to London or perhaps even Spain, seeking adventure and exciting new experiences. The subsequent lyrics feature more exotic locales such as Portugal, Paris, Mexico, California, and Vienna. The repeated refrain, "I would go anywhere, with you," indicates that the singer is seeking a human connection, and is willing to explore the world with a loved one.

This is a very simple yet fascinating film. A dog, a big dog actually, is captured in California by some dog dealers, and he ends up first in a sleigh-pulling team. He becomes the leader of this team of dogs that pull a sleigh in Alaska to deliver mail in all seasons. But the postal service is terminated, at least with dogs, and the dog ends up on a team owned by some private individual who mistreats the dogs. This particular dog, Buck, is saved by some independent “resident” in the village or small town and they both decide to go on a wild chase for the end of the trail and the wildest adventure they can find.
The dog becomes the confidant and the friend of the man, and they find themselves in a totally isolated spot, living in a cabin abandoned by some gold prospector. The dog though finds a second friend, and it is a female timber wolf. The man is not jealous, far from it, and the end of the summer arrives, and the man has to go back down to his town. Unluckily the person who was mistreating the dog and whom the man saved the dog from, finally finds them and he wants to kill the man. The dog suddenly back from his wild love affair, attacks this person and actually throws him into the burning cabin whose fire was caused by the attack of the dog molester. And the roof caves in over the dog exploiter.
But the man had been shot before the return of the dog and the man dies there in this distant and isolated place. He will probably never be buried. The dog though goes back to his timber-wolf love affair and brings his humanized intellect to the new species that will arise from the mixing of the genes of the timber wolf and a sleigh-pulling dog.
Jack London was attracted by this call of the wild that works just the same for humans who try to find in this wilderness the new frontier they need in order to be human, meaning to transcend the limits of social urbanized life. The film shows it marvelously and we can wonder why humans cannot open their minds to this wilderness that is thriving in their minds, in their memories, and in their dreams that are all coming from what man evolved from 300,000 years ago. But there is a touch of nostalgia in this discourse. Has the evolution of man since this emergence from the wilderness 300,000 years ago been or become a perversion, a loss, or a transcendence? When we see how brutal humanity can become, we may regret what it might have been before the invention of agriculture, herding, and the property of the land, or the soil, that imposed a new working organization that meant the loss of the spiritual communion with nature and the wilderness.
Enjoy the trail to this wilderness and remember that if the population goes on growing the way it has been growing for several thousand years, the earth will have no wilderness anymore. But of course, our solace is that by then humanity will have managed to destroy the planet that will return then to a wasteland of fake wilderness but with no humans anymore to start a new cycle of destructive escape from the wild.

VERSION FRANÇAISE
Il s'agit d'un film très simple et pourtant fascinant. Un chien, un gros chien en fait, est capturé en Californie par des marchands de chiens, et il se retrouve d'abord dans une équipe de tireurs de traîneaux. Il devient le chef de cette équipe de chiens qui tire un traîneau en Alaska pour distribuer le courrier en toutes saisons. Mais le service postal est supprimé, du moins avec les chiens, et le chien se retrouve dans une équipe appartenant à un particulier qui LES maltraite. Ce chien particulier, Buck, est sauvé par un "habitant" indépendant du village ou de la petite ville et ils décident tous deux de se lancer dans une chasse effrénée pour atteindre le bout de la piste et vivre l'aventure la plus folle qu'ils puissent trouver.
Le chien devient le confident et l'ami de l'homme, et ils se retrouvent dans un endroit totalement isolé, vivant dans une cabane abandonnée par un chercheur d'or. Le chien trouve cependant un deuxième ami, une femelle loup des bois. L'homme n'est pas jaloux, loin de là, et la fin de l'été arrive, et l'homme doit retourner dans sa ville. Malheureusement, la personne qui maltraitait le chien et duquel l'homme a sauvé le chien, les retrouve et veut tuer l'homme. Le chien, soudainement revenu de son histoire d'amour sauvage, attaque cette personne et la jette dans la cabane en feu, dont l'incendie a été provoqué par l'attaque du maltraiteur de chiens. Et le toit s'effondre sur cet exploiteur de chiens.
Mais l'homme avait été blessé par balle avant le retour du chien et l'homme meurt là, dans cet endroit lointain et isolé. Il ne sera probablement jamais enterré. Le chien, lui, retourne à son histoire d'amour avec la louve des bois et apporte son intelligence humanisée à la nouvelle espèce qui naîtra du mélange des gènes de la louve des bois et d'un chien de traîneau.
Jack London a été attiré par cet appel du sauvage qui fonctionne de la même manière pour les humains qui tentent de trouver dans cette nature sauvage la nouvelle frontière dont ils ont besoin pour être humains, c'est-à-dire pour transcender les limites de la vie sociale urbanisée. Le film le montre merveilleusement et nous pouvons nous demander pourquoi les humains ne peuvent pas ouvrir leur esprit à cette nature sauvage qui prospère dans leurs désirs, dans leurs souvenirs et dans leurs rêves qui proviennent tous de ce que l'homme était avant qu’il évolue il y a 300 000 ans. Mais il y a une touche de nostalgie dans ce discours. L'évolution de l'homme depuis cette émergence hors de la nature sauvage il y a 300 000 ans a-t-elle été ou est-elle devenue une perversion, une perte ou une transcendance ? Quand on voit à quel point l'humanité peut devenir brutale, on peut regretter ce qu'elle aurait pu être avant l'invention de l'agriculture, de l'élevage et de la propriété de la terre, ou du sol, qui a imposé une nouvelle organisation du travail signifiant la perte de la communion spirituelle avec la nature et le monde sauvage.
Profitez du chemin qui mène à cette nature sauvage et n'oubliez pas que si la population continue de croître comme elle le fait depuis plusieurs milliers d'années, la terre n'aura plus de nature sauvage du tout. Mais bien sûr, notre consolation est que d'ici là l'humanité aura réussi à détruire la planète qui redeviendra alors une friche de fausse nature abandonnée à son sort mais sans plus d'humains qui pourraient recommencer un nouveau cycle de fuite destructrice hors et contre la nature.

Thank you Audiobook and narrator Michael Scott for splendid presentation of "Call of the Wild', which I read as a child in Polish as "Zew krwi" and it fired my imagination and desire for adventure. It still stirs up emotions because Jack London's writing is timelessly brilliant.
