The movie "A Dog's Way Home", I just watched the trailer before and felt very moved. I couldn't resist this kind of movie that was unrequited by a dog. I just watched Bella jump on Lucas. The picture of excitement, warmth and affection has already been warmed up.
The whole movie, with Bella going home as the main line, with its amazing perseverance and determination, lasted more than 700 days, from New Mexico to Denver, a 400-mile journey, encountered the danger of almost death on the way, over the grassland and snow. , it has encountered avalanches, crashes and besieged by wolves, and it has also been accompanied by warm animals and people, but it cannot be annihilated in any case, its desire to go home.
In the film, the story is told from the dog's first point of view, and a narration-style narration is used to personify Bella, so that people can understand Bella's psychological activities and emotional changes throughout the trek.
Bella's obsession with going home reminds me of the movie "The Story of Hachiko, the loyal dog". One is that she lost her way and went through untold hardships. No matter how much time it takes, she must return to her master. The master lost his way and spent his whole life waiting for his return day after day.
Both films are showing the dog's loyalty to the owner, but the difference is that Bella's journey home, in addition to her loyalty to the owner, also covers a lot of emotions that are in common with humans.
Some people say that a dog's IQ is equivalent to that of a 3-year-old child. Its emotions are as innocent and easy to build as a child, but it is more persistent and affectionate than anyone else.
Dogs' emotions are focused, like Bella to Lucas, loyal dog Hachiko to master Parker, once you are identified as the owner, you are the only one, its whole world is yours, even if there are many kind people I like it, treat it well, and want to accompany it all the time, but in its heart, the status of the master is irreplaceable forever.
So, even on the way home, Bella has had many "temporary masters", but those are like rest stops on the journey to her. This is also the same as people. In the world, we are in many We have stayed in places and have been attached to them, but we can't really forget them. What we always dream about is the place where we grew up, and that is our home in the true sense.
The film gave people a lot of surprises.
The first is scenery.
The audience follows Bella, along the Rocky Mountains, across wilderness, forests, rivers, snow and towns, both beautiful and adventurous, both novel and unknown, allowing us to briefly escape from the city in the process of watching the movie The reinforced concrete shackles, to imagine running around in nature.
The second is warmth.
The whole way home, Bella encountered all kinds of hardships, but also encountered a lot of warmth and company.
The cougar "big cat" is dependent on each other, and because he understands it, he is compassionate. He witnessed the "big cat"'s mother being killed by the hunter, and remembered his childhood experience, so he decided to accompany the "big cat", take care of it, and protect it .
When he was about to die, he was a scavenger who wanted to lock Bella by his side. In his lonely and miserable life, Bella was his spiritual support and the life-saving straw in his last life. Although he was selfish, he had been using Bella all the time. But I have nothing but sympathy for him.
Everyone is born alone, how much do we need to have a presence like Bella, only companionship without abandonment, only deep love without harm.
The third is attachment to love.
The road ahead is difficult and there is little hope. Bella has had many opportunities to stop, but because of the fetters of the "invisible rope - love", she still chooses to return to her place of belonging no matter what.
I once read a sentence: as long as a person knows what he really wants and finds the most suitable life for himself, all the temptation and excitement of the outside world will become irrelevant to him.
Bella is like this, it has a clear direction and goal to go home and return to Lucas, so all the external difficulties and temptations are not enough to shake his determination.
At the end of the movie, Bella limped in front of the veteran. Lucas saw his dog who had lost more than two years. The picture of the dog and the person hugging passionately was the climax of his emotions, and he felt the softest and most vulnerable in his heart. The place where I was hit all of a sudden, I remembered watching "Super Marines" before, and it was the same feeling when Dabai and Ahong hugged.
In fact, people like dogs, not for a pet, but for love. The relationship between people is complex and changeable. Everyone has loneliness, trauma and despair. Warm existence, once you establish a connection with you, in the rest of your life, the snow, the plain, the poverty, and the glory are all you.
The reason why the director added a human narration to Bella is to give the audience a deeper sense of substitution. That road is not just a dog's way home, but also a way for everyone to learn how to love and accompany them.
The human world is too impetuous, with too many temptations and uncertainties. In Bella, we see everyone's desire for "belonging" and attachment to home, as opposed to its loyalty, persistence, bravery, and selflessness. Also see human selfishness, cowardice, greed and helplessness.
I hope that everyone who has watched this movie can see the meaning of love and companionship from the movie and from Bella.
I also wish everyone to be warm and loved all their lives.
