In the movie about animals, there is an institution that is the opposite of evil, which is the animal control shelter. From "Miss and the Mobster" to "The Movie Garfield", this institution has always been the place where animals fear the most in movies. It is a prison and has lost freedom and love. In reality, the same is true for general public animal shelters. From Chinese-style no food, regular humane or inhumane eradication, to foreign metal-rich modern-style shelters, where animals are not adopted, the end is also humane eradication. . This is indeed the place where any life is most afraid of entering.
In the countryside and rural areas, almost any animal is free. At least old-fashioned farms are like the farms of lambs. They are also relatively free. The story starts from the old photos. The farmer loves his animals, but as time goes by, managing the farm and the many things he must do every day makes the farmer forget his inner love, acting in a mechanized style and wearing glasses. But they turned a blind eye to everything. The lambs began to resist, planning a "vacation." Perhaps animals represent the innocent and primitive side of our hearts. It retains the beauty of the original intention and emerges when it is numb. The beautiful, lively and interesting side of the farm began to show, but the lambs started to make trouble.
Puppy does not change the enthusiasm even if it is ignored, but it retains adult-like rationality. From the small details, we can see the puppies' responsibility to themselves, protect the flock and follow the owner, and protect the lamb away when the pup mistakenly believes that the farmer is unsympathetic.
Being tortured by life and being numb and amnesia is actually no different. It has changed into a mechanical life that continues to be numb.
The animal catchers in the shelter, hate these animals in their hearts, and even don't want them to be adopted, laughing at the poor and bad stray dogs to satisfy their empty heart.
The animals in the shelter have a posture of having to be armed in prison, but when someone comes, the heart that wants to have a home, someone to accompany someone with love, is the same as the dog to be adopted in the real world. Exactly the same.
That ugly stray dog has the characteristics of a typical urban stray dog, with a small body and messy hair, but a stubborn survival. Living in the city, begging for rations in the trash can, knowing my own situation in my heart, seeing the lamb gathering with his family, desperately wanting to walk back to the gloomy urban forest. But in the end the ugly dog also found his home.
The reason why people like animals may be their simplicity, not for profit and other complicated factors, but for simply living for simple needs. Food and love, as long as these simple things, they will live as if they are satisfied. And people have so many self-inflicted troubles, which cause us to become dull in order to avoid and forget our original intentions. We see in animals the state we want and carefree, but we can't let go of our desires and get lost. In the urban forest, there are bustling traffic, but groups of vagrants who have lost their way. Busy and confused, I don't know what I want.
The love of the animals for the farmer saved him and made him return to the caring person before. As for the wandering people, there may be love to save them or not.
