--Spoiler Alert--
When I watched it, I felt that it was a warm movie worthy of recommendation, and I didn't have the desire to write about it after watching it. Now, there is Vince.
First of all, I quote the most impressive sentence in the movie "A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give him." is the perfect satire of human material feelings. Can humans do it without needing these? In this materialistic society, not needing is impossible; just be content with what you have when keep improving, then maybe you will be happy and relieved on the way of chasing.
Then into the movie. Looking at the movie name, the protagonist seems to be Marley, a Labrador retriever that we misinterpreted as "grain of rice". When he was a child, he spoiled it with his cute appearance. When he grew up, he became the world's worst dog, and was even called a monster. . The movie has aired its entire life, but the real protagonist is Grogon, a man who changes and grows in the face of the formation and development of his family.
At the beginning of the movie, the heroine talked about her list, falling in love, getting married, and going to a warm place. After marriage, the two went to California, which is famous for its sunshine. It is conceivable that the next step in the heroine's list is to have a baby. But the female protagonist with the list did not ask for the next step in any way, but the male protagonist was worried. Marley entered the family unexpectedly, just like an unexpected baby. The novice dad didn't think too much about letting Marley stay alone in the garage during thunderstorms, and since then he has left the psychological shadow of fear of lightning; the novice parents just let him grow up stubbornly, thinking that it will be fine when he grows up, but later To go to the training school, but was expelled on the first day. Nonetheless, they continued to accept the mischievous family member and not abandon it. At this time, the male protagonist is ready to meet new members, another challenge arises, and the dream is still family.
The male protagonist wanted to be a reporter, but he became a columnist. Although he is a very popular columnist, he is still very envious of his friends who go deep into the tiger's den as a reporter. It can be seen how excited and excited he was when his friend invited him to cooperate; however, the heroine was successfully pregnant at this time. Faced with this choice, the male protagonist resolutely gave up his thoughts. Perhaps it was the process of raising Marley that made the male protagonist feel that he could turn his dream into his current family, rather than having to decide between the two. During pregnancy, the male boss taught him how to soothe the pregnant woman's mood, and he actually did it. Although he was disturbed by Marley, it was still a comforting detail. Pregnancy is not a personal thing.
As the female protagonist gave birth to a second child and a third child, the male protagonist's mood changed while sitting in the car watching the scene at home. The heroine, whose article once occupied the entire page of the newspaper, gave up her job in order to take care of her family. However, the process of raising children is very hard, as well as the mischievous Marley and the husband who does not help with the housework, the heroine's temper has changed. It has been heard that the hostess is the decisive factor in the family atmosphere. The female protagonist in a bad mood naturally made the family and the male protagonist uncomfortable, and even wanted to "abandon" Marley. The days when Marley disappeared showed them that the problem wasn't with the dog;
Next, the female protagonist supports the male protagonist in pursuing his former reporter dream. Marley is entering old age. The male protagonist, who is already a reporter, asked the editor to open a column for him at this time. Why can't work (reporter) and life (a column that records bits and pieces) coexist? In the face of life and death, this section is very melancholy, but "thank you for coming, thank you for your company".
