little happiness

It's not such a serious topic, and it's not exactly a lighthearted comedy. Anyway, I have never cried so much while watching a comedy.

From a professional point of view, the film is not unique, and there is nothing special about an autobiographical film adapted from a best-selling novel, even if it is added with the cuteness of a dog.

However, this natural and bland style is unfortunately my point. I don’t deliberately design dramatic bridges. It’s just people and things we can meet in our lives. In beautiful scenery, charming protagonists, lovely In the first 30 minutes of Naughty Dog and the often funny clips of American comedies, I was so happy that the laughter was super low, and the quarrel in the middle clip was exactly the same as I have ever seen. . . I also envied the happy life of the hero and heroine. When I looked at it later, I kept thinking about what was going to happen next. Where would the dogs show their talents? When the neighbor was stabbed in the driveway, he even wondered if the gangster was "bited" by Marley the next day? Of course, this kind of dramatic plot will definitely not appear in our bland and fresh male protagonist's life. The difficulties he faces are at most his wife who is occasionally irritable because of raising children after childbirth, or the fading of enthusiasm for work after many years, or else Do you count the confusion about the orientation of your work? How bland this is in the movie, and later, Marley is ill, is it going to orgasm? The dog is strong against the disease, and everyone lives happily ever after? Please, that's a fairy tale. Marley had indeed survived the first serious illness, but soon became ill again, and the once energetic he lay lazily by the fireplace, under the big tree, only had the strength to turn his head. In the end, the owner decided to let Mary say goodbye to him before euthanizing him. It took a roll of paper to cry. Rationally speaking, it was a very natural plot. There was nothing deliberate to make you cry, but you couldn't cry. Crying until the end of the film may happen to be a favorite subject, and it will be particularly emotional.

But life is like this, it's plain and not dramatic, you will face many, many problems, and you will encounter many, many troubles, but to have a pat, have a lover, and have a family is happy enough, isn't it?

    2009.04.28 The protagonist's nose is so weird, he seems to have a walnut in his mouth when he speaks... Aniston is far less beautiful than Rachel's. But the little ones are really cute~

    It's very comfortable to watch, and I also appreciate the protagonist's attitude towards pets in the film: they don't exist only for our happiness, since we decide to raise them, we must accept their various deficiencies like family members, not because of ourselves Just give them up if you are inconvenient in life. But I still don't like Sister Jennifer with a square face.

Marley & Me quotes

  • John Grogan: A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him 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?

  • Arnie Klein: Tell your dog not to worry, sooner or later we all lose our balls.
