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. There are many movies on this theme, and there are countless Hollywood movies alone, so if you shoot honestly, you will definitely lose the crowd, so you pull a dog in, the movie becomes more lively and interesting, and at least it can attract some love. Dog people enrich the box office.

However, the dog has little to do with the theme of the film, and the two lines of the relationship between man and dog and the contradiction between family and career have not really merged. For example, when Jennifer quit her job to take care of her children at home, Marley caused her a lot of trouble, but the real problem is not here, but the incompatibility and discomfort of an intellectual woman who has become a housewife who is plagued by housework. willingly. Due to the inability to merge the two lines, the dog's play and the human's play always seem to be inseparable, almost becoming two movies.
