      Marley & Me--This Movie Brings Tears To My Eyes

      I'm a dog lover. I love how innocent and cute they are. I have also watched a lot of movies about dogs, and almost every one brings tears to my eyes. I thought it was a comedy, but after seeing it halfway through, I knew I was fooled. In fact, this film is especially suitable for couples to watch, and the discussion is actually a sense of family responsibility and dull family life. Marley is actually a very skinny dog, but he...

      Man's play and dog's play

      If the dog wasn't in the movie, or if the dog was a cat, it wouldn't get as many stars as I give it. Maybe it will become three or even two. It's the nostalgia for the dead Beanie that keeps me and Piggy from holding the same standards for movies with dogs as other movies.

      In fact, the movie tells a very simple story, and conveys a very popular truth, that is, our career will be dragged down by the trivial matters of the family, and this drag will bring you true happiness in the end....

      After watching "Marley & Me"

      A very nice warm and humorous movie. The first half is hilarious and entertaining, while the second half is very touching.
      I have never raised a dog, and I have a very bad impression of the noisy dogs in the community on weekdays... But I really like this "bad" dog in the movie. Haha, it's really fun~ Maybe one day, I need to experience the fun of raising a dog. At the same time, I also praise the dog's owner's family, giving people a warm and happy family feeling ~ life is beautiful and...

      Taken from the original

      A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbols mean nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class, but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his, it was really quite simple. And yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated , have always had trouble figuring out what really...

      Marley and I

      "A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give`em your heart and he`ll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel...extraordinary?”.

      This quote often brings tears to my eyes, and I love dogs so much because of this unique quality in them. After watching this movie for many years, I don't even know that this sentence is from this movie. I...

      A dog may not be as valuable as a villa, a famous car, or a famous brand of clothing. However, whether it is poor, rich, smart or clumsy, as long as you pay your sincerity, it will repay you with its sincerity. How many people can do it in the vast sea of...

      I managed to stop the tears... In addition to the movie moving, it was probably due to the pressure of the past two days. Marley's name comes from Bob Marley, which makes me think "I'm a legend" and coincidentally there's a dog in there too. Human beings are too rich and good at keeping things secret, so there is always a grudge between people. Dogs are different. As the male protagonist said at the end of the film, you treat him with your heart, and he treats you with your heart. Where can you...

    Unique starring combination

    In order to allow the actor to capture the feeling of desire that the movie wants to express well, Frank Cole chose Owen Wilson. The characters of Wilson familiar to the audience are basically spoof, vulgar, and funny clown characters (such as in "The Wedding Proud" and "The Bodyguard"). In this regard, Frankel said, "This film is a good development opportunity for Wilson. He is a very good actor, but no one really realizes this. You...

    Cute animal actors

    During the filming process, Marley needed 22 dogs to play from puppies to 14 years old. Most of Marley's role in the film is played by a young adult dog, and the role accounts for about two-thirds of the film. This dog is the Labrador retriever "Clyde." David Frankle joked that Clyde was "trained" to be noisy and troublesome. "The trainer can make it do the movements we need, but he has never taught it such as not to jump on people,...

    Positive

    "Marley and Me" is not artificial at all. Both Irving and Aniston deliberately shielded the bad ailments in previous comedy films-using kitsch and exaggerated expressions to tickle people. In this film, it looks very impressive. Yes, it is also very real. ( "Seattle Post" film critic Sean Alex Meck commented
    What’s surprising about Marley and Me is that the ending of this film is quite important, and the relationship between humans...

    Movie quotes

    • Debby: There were 11 thunderstorms while you were gone, 11, you were right, he doesn't like them and just so you know I am a dog person but that is not a dog, that is evil with a dog face that humps my leg and is peeing on your carpet.

    • Jennifer Grogan: Marley's not allowed to drink out of the toilet, you should just keep him out of the bathroom in general.

    • John Grogan: [to Marley] You remember how we were always saying what a pain you are... that you're the world's worst dog? Don't believe it. Don't believe it even for a minute. 'Cause you know we couldn't find a better dog. You know what made you such a... great dog is you loved us every day, no matter what. That's an amazing thing. You know how much we love you? We love you so much. I love you more than anything. I don't know exactly where we go from here... but I want you to remember you're a great dog, Marley. You're a great dog.
