      A Street Cat Named Bob--Luck May Be Because He Is Kind

      Not just the cat, but the protagonist himself. What moved me the most was James' kindness. Sheltering the "neighbor" mice, worrying about taking care of cats, gentle care of cats, and just the right amount of humor. Survival engraved on the wrist is also James' strength. Many people die, but there are those who, like James, have no hope but are determined to live.

      A story about companionship and healing

      Like the bland narrative and the ubiquitous warmth of the movie, Bob has brought new hope to James. He used to feed the whole family without being hungry, but now he wants to fill not only his own stomach, but also this little guy. Bob gave James the motivation and energy to live, and with this little guy accompanying, Bob's dull life was revived. Very healing and heartwarming movie, I recommend everyone to watch it. It is especially suitable for mourning or rainy weather to make a cup of...

      Stray cat Bob: not only the body but also the soul with nowhere to rest

      Came to suck the cat, but was moved in a mess in the end. In contrast, I personally think that the tone and rhythm in the early stage of the film tend to be dull and depressing. At the beginning of the contact, it is extremely possible to "dissuade". James has a dull street singing life, and he has nowhere to go even if it rains. Avoid, his biological father refused to recognize him, and he was also addicted to drugs. In the present, this is not just a "problem boy", everyone can't help but...

      James met more than just a cat

      This is not just a story of a stray and a stray cat, it is a tender sky where many lucky encounters happen unexpectedly.

      James' doctor appreciates his talent and recognizes his perseverance; Betty, the girl James met, helped him take care of the cat and gave him pure and sincere affection; James met the old lady who gave the cat scarf and the man who treated others A gentle magazine manager, although they did not have a great impact on his life, they were...

      May you always be warm and kind, and be embraced tenderly by this world

      After reading it, I am quite surprised that cats can bring such great power to people. Between cats and dogs, I prefer the latter, because in my impression cats have always been animals that are very cold and difficult to have feelings for people, but dogs are different, they will love their owners very much, love Meaning can be felt. When I saw the male protagonist feeding Bob the medicine for the wound, I was really afraid that it would scratch him. If so, then it would be another story......

    Behind the scenes gags

    The director once selected ten cat actors, but when James, the original creator of the novel and the protagonist of the story, brought Bob to the class, Bob's charm conquered the director and took the role of the "male" protagonist   .
    Bob plays himself in the film, but there are many male protagonists in the film who have just met it. At this stage, Bob can’t "go back in time" to reproduce the appearance of the male protagonist just...

    Evaluation action

    In the film, a cat changes the life of a marginalized person and possesses inspiring positive energy. The film is not only the focus of the topic of cat slaves, even viewers who have never raised a cat will be moved by the warm plot in the film to tears in their eyes. In particular, the director's use of Bob's subjective perspective as the shooting scene this time is also fresh, and it is a healing and heart-warming movie   . (Zhongshi...
