The plot is nothing to tell, it's too idealistic, it's a modern fairy tale, children + dog + comedy + love + heroism + media effect = America and crab society.
After ignoring the plot, the actor can basically ignore it (the heroine is still pretty), because the dogs are too eye-catching! I also admire this crew. Where can I find so many acting dogs, from small to large, of all kinds, each with its own personality! Needless to say, Friday, the protagonist, although a bit unsurprising, he is indeed smart and clever. The only drawback is that he is super edible. The best friend of the miniature Chihuahua dog is huge, but the combination of one big and one small is very warm. A timid dog with a romantic name named Romeo, finally found its Juliet at the Home of Stray Dogs. . . . . .
The most pleasant plot is the equipment that Bruce made for the dogs: running machine, urinal, toilet, automatic dining table, car experience simulation...The person who came up with it is really a genius, and the dog training person is even more genius. The dogs are trained to be good, they can go to the bathroom, sit at the table obediently and wait for a meal, and report to the table according to their names... This is also the reason why pet subjects are never tired of shooting, so cute, cute, and human. Animals can always touch the soft part of the human heart.
Also, don’t forget that dogs are artificially created. Whether they are working dogs or pet dogs, they don’t have the right to choose. Human beings create them and use them, but they often fail to show their due sense of responsibility. Repay their loyalty. At the end of the film, Bernie reads the names and stories of every stray dog recorded by the children: the dog who was amputated in a car accident and was abandoned by the owner; one of the stray twin dogs was stuck in the fence, and the other ignored it. Abandoned; and human beings as the owner ruthlessly abandoned the dog just because of the move.
The climax of the whole film is undoubtedly the scene of stray dogs running wild on the street. I am afraid that all the viewers are grateful that they are finally going to freedom, but a turn here is indeed a brilliant point. It seems that the children’s plan has fallen short. In fact, the drama was developed to its culmination. Bernie called out the name of the first dog. The dog appeared on the long ladder, and the crowd began to cheer in surprise. Then, one after another, each dog was With a name, every dog treats this place as a real home. They have been abandoned. They wandered in the city and worked hard to survive; perhaps this is also the reason why Andy brothers and sisters are determined to establish a home for stray dogs. They have lost a home, they are also looking for a home, they are also working hard like these stray dogs, not giving up on themselves and each other. Even the old hotel itself is abandoned. Only when it encounters these dogs and children, does it open its mind to accept them and protect them.
In the ending, the hotel broke into a real doggy home. It was incredibly advanced, but it didn’t matter. Everyone wanted a happy ending, didn’t they?
Perhaps this is just a modern fairy tale, but we really need the existence of fairy tales to leave a little warmth and hope in this world.
PS: It is also a movie related to pet dogs. In'Friends', Phoebe, who loves animals, actually played a less kind role (the temporary adopter of Andy sister and brother), which is a bit weird. Marley is the opposite of Rachel in me, haha.
