Adapted from the New York Times best-selling three-year book (same name, see the end of the article for details). The author was inspired by a Mongolian documentary (a documentary about dogs, where the dog’s ancestors are mentioned in this film many times), Enzo’s name was changed on the suggestion of his wife (Enzo Ferrari).

The author has racing experience , won a regional championship, and the plot of the family change is based on another racing friend. The author ended his career on the field after a car crash in the rain.

The box office is not good (20 million dollars in budget, 30 million dollars in total box office), after all, it lacks the contribution of the mainland, and the entertainment is a bit lower; but there are many details in the film that are still very interesting, and there are also many laughs and tears. .

I have never seen such a split evaluation. It is estimated that the experts who have watched the film and commented on it first have negative reviews that have affected the target audience to a certain extent.

Short comment: a very stable drama (Drama), shot from the perspective of a dog. Kevin Costner's vicissitudes and deep emotional voice; just recently played Yellowstone, the slightly rickety figure in Yellowstone Park.

Start with flashbacks, starting from the dog’s old memories, it feels like this is not a purely commercial box office movie like "a dog’s mission";

Yakima, Seattle, and forests, this is Washington State

Amanda Seyfried hasn’t seen a movie starring her for a long time except for her mother Mia;

Dog's perspective: The first taste is the shampoo + pheromones. It may be that the hair trimming attracts the owner.

Although it is said in the film that it is not a dog lover, in real life, the heroine's dog is also a golden retriever. Eve (Amanda Seyfried) says that she's "not a dog person". In reality, Amanda is very much a dog-lover. She's had a beloved golden retriever named Finn for many years.

Dog feels fetal movement

Golden Retriever's dog head is always so cute; the big brother who celebrated his birthday together

The dog smells cancer, this is specially trained (in "A Dog's Mission 2" is the main plot-front paws crossed, to help two unguessed Asian male protagonists (Liu Xianhua) find out and heal it early). The teacher is self-explanatory but can't express it

Inferior enemy zebra, this is a whitewashed dog, love to tear toys only because of-low blood sugar, puff haha

The vibrato experience tells us that if it is Erha, it is estimated that there will be no such reaction

Vigil

Hey, your smell is the most unforgettable-they say that dogs can't see the color, and the male protagonist's pig's hoofs can't tell the difference between good and bad. I bought this hat for my girlfriend at the time.

Eat pepper and pull a bad smelly "stupid dog" on the carpet

The white face of the old golden hair not only knows the secret of his own metabolism, but also understands people's beliefs.

Tearing up the agreement caused my friends to sigh-I want to keep a dog too, but don't forget to go to the animal clinic and spend a thousand dollars, and I learned the deer when crossing the road-headlightssss

The following white lines are touching

The credits include: Based on the book by Garth Stein. The adaptation of the novel of the same name, followed by the background of the novel (from wiki entry):

The Art of Racing in the Rain is a 2008 novel by American author Garth Stein —told from a dog's point of view. The novel was a New York Times bestseller for 156 weeks.

Inspiration for the novel came after Stein watched the 1998 Mongolian documentary State of Dogs,[2][3] and then later in 2004 heard poet Billy Collins give a reading of the poem "The Revenant"[4] told from a dog's point of view.[3][5]

Stein had originally named the dog "Juan Pablo" after Colombian race car driver Juan Pablo Montoya, but changed his name at the suggestion of his wife, naming the dog instead after Enzo Ferrari, founder of the famous Italian automobile marque of the same name. [3][5]

The race car driving experience of the novel's character, Denny, is based on Stein's own experience in racing cars,[5] and on another race car driver who is a close friend of Stein's who was dealing with some family turbulence at the time.[ 3] Stein moved from New York City to Seattle in 2001 and became involved in "high performance driver education,"[5] received his racing license with the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA),[5] and won the points championship in the Northwest region Spec Miata class in 2003.[5] Stein left racing after crashing while racing in the rain.
