      film review

      During the winter vacation, I watched the movie "A Dog's Mission" which gave me a great feeling.

      The film, from Bailey's point of view, tells his (it) story. At the very beginning of the film, Bailey is the first point of view, telling about its birth, giving people a strong sense of substitution.

      The first life tells that Bailey was rescued by the little boy Ethan, so he named him Bailey. The movie uses the dog's perspective...

      Four lives and four generations

      The four lives and four lives of the dog in the film, a film critic likened it to youth, youth, middle age and old age. When I was young, I was like a glass of juice, my life was unscrupulous, I became a good buddy of the little master, and I experienced ups and downs in growing up, joys and sorrows; Find the sense of achievement and self-realization in the second due diligence; in middle age, like a cup of tea, life tends to be stable, learn to love, find people who love...

      a dog's mission

      The film is to use a dog with a memory that has been reincarnated several times to show the happy or unfortunate life of many dogs. From the perspective of the protagonist dog, some lines and plots are very funny and cute. There are many cute furries in the film, and the plot is also touching. Bailey Bailey Bailey... Ethan's actors are all so handsome, haha, Hannah is so good, I like her so much! With a crippled leg, his planned future and dreams shattered, Ethan gives up and...

      "A Dog's Mission"

      I have been thinking about it before, but after downloading it, I found that the picture quality is not very good, and I downloaded it again, but the result is still the same. . . . But I finally read it, which is very touching. Dogs only recognize one owner in their life. For them, that is their whole world, but for people, it is not necessarily. Bailey is just a dog. After several lifetimes, he still remembers the person who gave him warmth in the first place. He is obviously just a dog,...

      Looking at a dog's life from a human point of view is a bit deliberate. But I was still moved by the final ending - "I've always been by your side". There is another impression: my acting skills in North Korea's fresh meat are not as good as this...

      3.8 stars. 1. It’s hard to make a bad movie with a dog-themed movie. 2. If the tear-jerking power of "Faithful Dog Hachiko" is 90 points, this one is about 75 points. 3. The other two owners experienced among the dogs. I think they can be merged into one. It is enough to be reincarnated twice, otherwise it will inevitably distract the emotional investment of the audience. After all, the label of dogs is "loyalty". 4. The dogs selected by the director are all cute and foul. 5. A dog's mission:...

      Although at first glance the title "A Dog's Mission" does not make people feel that this is another commonplace between people and dogs, Lars Holstrom has given this work an unexpected novelty this time. On the one hand, the movie uses the perspective of a dog to make it fascinating, and on the other hand, the plot constructed from the reincarnation of life shows the dog's mission of love for people from generation to...

    Evaluation action

    "A dog's purpose" seems to be filmed for those who love dogs, but the problem is that the film does not have enough emotional points for these audiences. (Review of "The Atlantic")
    The film is an animal film that looks inspiring, but is actually quite empty. (Review of "Rolling Stone")
    The intention of the film is very simple, but it is not fatal. What is terrible is that it does not have a strong emotional impact   . (Review of...

    • Adult Ethan: I'm really stubborn.
