The ordinary life of a dog

At first, I thought there was some twists and turns. The whole thing was talking about ordinary life, ordinary because of daily trivial matters; but not ordinary because Marley has become a member of the family, he has been integrated into their lives, The family's life becomes warmer because of Marley's presence.

Raising a dog can bring joy to life, dispatch loneliness, and see the world from a different perspective; as said in the movie, a dog does not need famous cars, luxury houses, and famous clothing, as long as you truly love him, he will also truly love you.

But the saddest thing is that dogs often die before their owners. At this time, family members have to experience the pain of leaving a loved one. At the end of the movie, the mother asked each of the three children to write down what they said to Marley and bury them with him. The younger daughter drew a picture, the younger son wrote a letter, and the mother asked the older son what he wanted to say to Marley. Said, the eldest son only said: he knows.

Although the film is bland, people are still moved by the pure and unutilitarian feelings between people and dogs.

    After reading the original book, I was terrified of watching these types of animal tearjerkers, but I still cried.

    Not impressed by reading. I still don't feel like watching the movie. Am I really a pet insulator?
