The setting of this movie is relatively new. A widowed middle-aged man buys a zoo, walks out of the shadows and embraces a new life in the process of getting along with animals. First of all, the development of feelings between animals and people is a highlight, and secondly, the reconciliation between the protagonist and his son should also be very moving. However, the film was too understated, and these plot lines that should have become the light of humanity were not properly told, and finally became a cliché story of a group of people saving a zoo. The love between the hero and heroine develops too hastily, with little foreshadowing and reluctance. The emotional line between the son and the heroine and niece is even more superfluous and unnecessary for the plot. But Damon, who is used to seeing tough guys, still feels good to see such a role again. He also played a man's struggle and pain after suffering the most painful event in his life. And the goddess Scarlett, it's a bit of a waste to put it in this movie.
The movie is so clean and beautiful. You can also get some good feelings outside the plot.
