Maybe the situation is worse than you think

Don't think this is a child-themed movie. Most of the plot makes you smile, and you think you have seen the beauty. It is true that you have experienced pure joy, but "maybe the situation is worse than you think", because the unavoidable pains in the growth process will suddenly appear in life and make people caught off guard. As we age, we seem to understand something, but we still can’t understand how we understand it. We say we don’t understand life.

"Perhaps the situation is worse than you think" is the first sentence of the little boy Ingmar's monologue in the film. He didn't expect the space dog Lijia to be sent into space but starved to death. A wonderful magic. Travelling unexpectedly became a tragedy in the child's heart. The immature soul began to realize that fate was uncertain, so he learned to face his mother's disease firmly.

He also has a beloved puppy. He regards the dog as important as his mother, but he must bear the bitter fate of the death of both his mother and the dog. He could understand that the space dog was killed by the scientist who did the experiment, but what about the death of his mother and his beloved puppy? Because I don’t understand, I don’t believe it. But innocence can't stop the cruel fate, the situation is worse than he thought.

The cruel truth should not appear in front of children. Every time the mother coughs up blood, she drives Ingmar away. As her condition gets worse and the child is left unattended, she sends Ingmar to the small town. Uncle's house. In a peaceful and warm town, everyone is happy and healthy. Here are two worlds with my mother, one is depressed and painful, and the other is sunny. Ingmar is here to enjoy the fun of growing up, just as God always loves miserable people.

Any pain is an experience of life, and it will eventually become a deep memory as it grows.

    Tell a very miserable and sad story with a very warm structure! The growing up story of a little boy who compares himself as an abandoned dog. All the moving parts are not at all pretentious, stop at the end.

My Life as a Dog quotes

  • Ingemar: In fact, I've been kinda lucky. I mean, compared to others. You have to compare, so you can get a little distance from things. Like Laika. She really must have seen things in perspective. It's important to keep a certain distance. I think about that guy who tried to set a world record for jumping over buses with a motorcycle. He lined up 31 buses. If he'd left it at 30, maybe he would have survived.
