In terms of expression, different from "Little Q", the voice-over in this film is not a human who observes Xiao Q, but Enzo's own anthropomorphic psychology, which is more immersive. Not to mention that the film is directly narrated in the form of memories of the dying Zuo En. From a visual point of view, Xiao Q is looking at the life of a dog from the perspective of a human, the object of observation is a dog, and the highlight is the turbulence of the dog's life; while this film looks at a person from the perspective of a dog, the object of observation is a human, highlighting the Happiness and misfortune. Little Q is a Labrador, Hachiko is a Japanese Akita, and Enzo is a golden retriever. Plot: (1) Encounter: Clever Enzo is picked by race car driver Danny. (2) Happiness: Danny and Eve meet, they fall in love, get married, and have children. (3) Turning point: Eve died of illness, and Danny's happy home became a single-parent family. Afterwards, Danny was in trouble due to three consecutive blows of career setbacks, a woman suing, and Enzo's car accident. (4) RISE AGAIN: Danny wins his case and gets a job as a test car. In the end, Enzo finally realized his dream of racing with Danny.

The Art of Racing in the Rain quotes

  • Enzo: He picked me out of a pile of pups, a tangled mass of paws and tails. He'd stopped at the farm on his way home from the speedway at Yakima. Even back then, I knew I was different than other dogs. My soul just felt more human.

  • Denny: And what if I don't win?

    Don Kitch: There's no dishonor in losing the race, there's only dishonor in not racing because you're afraid to lose.
