"Wolf Totem" belongs to the Drama genre, characterized by its focus on emotional and relational development, as well as its exploration of complex social and cultural themes. Typical elements in drama include character-driven storytelling, conflicts reflecting societal issues, and a serious tone that prompts reflection. What distinguishes "Wolf Totem" from many other dramas is its unique setting in the vast Inner Mongolian steppes during a transformative period in 1969 China, which blends human drama with the natural world. The story intertwines the tension between modern civilization and traditional nomadic life, using the symbolic presence of wolves to explore themes of survival, cultural identity, and the human relationship with nature. This rich cultural and environmental backdrop, combined with the protagonist's internal and external struggles, gives the film a profound depth and distinctiveness within the drama genre.
