After watching this movie, my first impression is that my own poor vocabulary can't express my inner love at all. Secondly, the point that may be repeatedly emphasized below: if you are not ready to raise pets, please don't take it lightly Make a decision to bring them home.
"I'm Waiting for You in the Rain" is a comedy film directed by Simon Curtis and starring Milo Ventimiglia and Kevin Costner, based on Garth Stein's novel of the same name. Read the book again.
The story begins with the memories of the aged dog Enzo. In the form of flashbacks, with Enzo as the first point of view, the whole narration tells his life, mainly around his owner Danny's life in ten years.
1. The greatest ability of dogs is to accompany them. They never show it off, they just do their jobs silently.
One sunny ordinary day, Danny, a racing driver driving through the country, chose him from a group of puppies and named him Enzo - the same name as the Ferrari founder. Danny is a racing driver, although he is still unknown. According to legend, his career dream was Ferrari, he met a woman he admired, got married, had a child, all the days of happiness and constant struggle, as well as the trough of life and death, and lawsuits, all of which, Enzo accompanied him. Dogs love him in a unique way.
Through the memories of a dog, the film looks at many turning points in a person's life. In fact, we are all ordinary people. We live a day that repeats day after day. Just narrating people's life in a straightforward manner will seem dull and dull, but from Enzo's perspective, whether it is joy or sadness, it seems like a unique filter has been added .
The rhythm of "I'm Waiting for You in the Rain" is very soothing, and the ups and downs of emotions are not deliberately created, but in a "moistening and silent" way, allowing fans to step in and feel the warm scenes. Stacking, not only cleverly writes the passage of time, but also makes people's mouths rise; those sadness are not overly exaggerated to sell miserable, but the cold picture already contains helplessness, enough to elicit tears.
Enzo is not just a pet at home in the film, he is respected like a family member, he and Danny run in the rain together, sit on the sofa and watch car races, they also have arguments, although Enzo can't speak , but with his only weapon - action, to protect Danny, the dog is now a spiritual partner and best friend to accompany you at every important moment in your life.
After the movie anthropomorphized the dog's thoughts, many interesting plots were produced, such as: Enzo ate the wrong Danny and had Eve in his life. The random interpretation is caused by excitement, such as: Enzo hopes that Eve's baby will look like himself, teasing that Danny will not choose colors, and Enzo, who is madly hungry, imagines toy zebras "killing" other toys. These are undoubtedly All of them play a key role in plump Enzo's character image, Enzo's personality is shaped, and the whole film has a soul.
2. People's life is full of ups and downs, how to face it when it's sunny and rainy, Enzo understands all this
There is a setting in the film, Enzo's life is to learn, he needs to be prepared, so when faced with the ups and downs of life, the film also gives a lot of truth from a unique "racing" perspective, which makes people wonder. I feel like a bowl of warm chicken soup. I try my best to understand these words, and I want to encourage or comfort myself in the future.
"The top drivers only focus on the present, not the past or the future."
I remember seeing a sentence, I don't know the source, that said: People who climb mountains will feel extremely tired if they keep their eyes on the top of the mountain, and they will easily fall over. On the other hand, people who focus on their feet will be more stable. Going to the top of the mountain. In fact, this is the same as the sentence in the film. In life, we always have many goals and grand dreams, but we are always eager to achieve, and we will feel anxious when we cannot get them. It is better to live in the present and complete every small piece in the huge model, so that the future castle will be more solid and reliable.
"A car that doesn't win at the first corner."
Turning opportunities and opportunities are always naughty, and they appear unexpectedly. Maybe you are ready, maybe not, but they can't control so much. When the opportunity comes, and seize it, and try to succeed? Too young, too naive. Life is a rally race, there are many corners to go, maybe this corner is beautiful and overtakes the car in front, maybe that one is not satisfactory and slightly behind, but you must know that the race is still going on, and you will always reach the finish line successfully.
"The transmission breaks, the clutch fails, the brake pads rot from the heat, bad drivers crash, average drivers give up, but great drivers get it right, great drivers persevere."
Difficulties appear almost everywhere. He may be like a rainy day that is more difficult for racing drivers. It is full of temporary accidents, or it may be a fatal change in the function of the car body. Great drivers will persevere and solve them easily. The people who will overcome the difficulties and move forward bravely, because the great drivers and the strong people will be ready to face the difficulties.
"It's not terrible to lose a battle, but it's shameful to refuse to fight for fear of losing."
In the movie "Partners in China", Cheng Dongqing also said the same thing, "Failure is not terrible, but fear of failure is really terrible." The easiest thing to do in this world is to give up, the hardest thing is to persevere. Some people may ask if you know that the result is a failure, why not give up at the beginning, the result is the same? In fact, it is different. The process of persevering, facing, and fighting is beyond the result, and has a more sublime The status and meaning of life, and the process of challenge is the joy of life.
Never judge based on appearance only, seeing is not necessarily believing.
There is such a plot in "I'm Waiting for You in the Rain", the heroine Eve returns home to recuperate, and Enzo goes to stand guard to guard her every night without sleep, but during the day, after the family wakes up, the tired Enzo Zuo started to make up for sleep. Eve's father saw Enzo who fell asleep every day and said "lazy dog". Fortunately, Enzo didn't care about such comments and accusations. He insisted on his own principles, so Fearless.
I think if a movie can make people immerse, it's good, it's a movie with a good artistic expression, but if it can make people feel at the same time, then it's a good movie, obscure and difficult to understand It is by no means synonymous with clever tactics, and easy to understand can be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
3. Movies about animals can always draw out the softness in my heart, and I hope the same can be true in reality
There are many movies about dogs, and many of them are still fresh in the audience's memory. "Ten Promises with Dogs" can be said to be a must-see for dog owners. However, compared to its warmth and silence, I like "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" more, which is the only movie about dogs that I cried several times after watching it.
Many friends around me, no matter how high the tears and the steel-hearted, have liberated the lacrimal glands for "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko". What we all remember vividly is that after the professor passed away, Hachiko survived the storm. He went to the station to pick him up on time, the professor's daughter took Hachiko to his new home, and Hachiko ran back to the station by himself. The daughter finally knew his intentions and let him go to complete his mission; many years later, the professor's wife returned to the school. Town, seeing Hachiko still guarding the station gate, he leaned on the neighbors to feed his mouth, and found an abandoned train track to sleep, the sadness of people may fade with time, but the dog's life will be entrusted to the owner, Never give up.
So, I'm going to repeat that: If you're not ready to have pets, don't make the decision to bring them home lightly. You may be playing it on a whim, but it's already a big deal for them. A lifetime commitment.
There is an old news that a dog in Ziyang, Sichuan chased the ambulance at night. Because the hostess had a brain hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital. There is always such warmth.
Regarding stray dogs, there is such a set of data: there are about 600 million dogs in the world, and stray dogs account for about one-third. In China, no less than 40 million dogs are strayed every year. How much of the digital system is abandoned by humans?
If you want to raise them, please treat them kindly. They regard their masters as family members and spend their whole lives with them. What they ask for is not to abandon them and treat them kindly.
4. Conclusion
Staying at home and cannot go out. If you live alone, you will feel less lonely if you have pets to accompany you. In fact, the meaning of pets to human beings has already surpassed the surface. When we are sad and sad, we will tell our pets at home. When making a decision, they would squat down and pat their heads and ask, "Is it good for me to choose this way?"
In "I'm Waiting for You in the Rain", Danny almost signed an agreement to give up custody, but Enzo stopped it decisively. This may be somewhat exaggerated, but in fact, it also followed Danny's heart, "The Stray Cat Bob" "Bob helped change the male protagonist's life, which was changed by real events, as well as the aforementioned "The Story of the Faithful Dog Hachiko", currently the statue of Hachiko is guarding Shibuya North Station. A story full of love, Whether it's in movies or in reality, it's always moving.
Enzo in the film spent his whole life learning to love and protect, and learned a lot of truths that human beings may not understand. In the end, he completed his mission and ended his long or short life. Satisfied, no regrets. That's fine too.
