It’s another healing story between the master and human beings. It’s still filmed based on real people. It’s an absolute must-see movie. ❤

GIVE ME FIVE ๑*◡*๑

They all say that cats will choose their own owners, meow~

The protagonist James is unfortunate. His parents’ family marriage has changed, and his father remarried and formed a new family. He is indifferent to the drug addiction, and the stepmother’s family sees him as hiding from the plague. As Christmas approached, James was doing business on the street as usual. Occasionally, when his father went out shopping, he went straight to say hello to his father, but his father obviously didn't want to say anything to him. He thought he was here to beg for money, so he quickly took some change and gave it to him. James (though J refused, but accepted it) Unfortunately, the stepmother urged her father to get in the car quickly. She greeted J hurriedly in courtesy, but the words revealed coldness. James tried to bring up the topic of family reunion at Christmas. , I intended to spend at least one Christmas with my father, but the stepmother apparently felt that this was an extremely unreasonable request. Before my father could express his opinion, she bluntly refused and dragged J's father away by car...

At that moment, James felt that the whole world had abandoned him, leaving only his guitar and music.

Fortunately, James was also fortunate. The doctors who helped him get rid of drugs broke through numerous obstacles and helped him successfully apply for a house. Although it is not big, a fixed residence is really important to J! When he stepped into the house and turned on the existing hot water supply from the faucet, his heart was surging. He didn't know how to appreciate the female doctor, but he knew very well that the only way to succeed in getting rid of drug addiction The life of a normal person is the greatest gratitude to her. At that moment, James must have mixed feelings in his heart. Think about those days when he had no fixed home. After eating the last meal and not the next, he went to a store to buy a box lunch. 3 pounds could not be paid, and a few coins would be enough. That's it... But the clerk would rather throw the pre-installed meals in the sink to waste than sell them to James, and no one around the diners is willing to help him make up the change (only £3! These! Experience makes J feel the warmth and coldness of society).

By accident, he got a house with hot water. James didn’t know how long he hadn’t taken a hot bath. While enjoying a hot bath, there was a sound in the living room outside the house. J was surprised. It's a thief or a bad person, quickly wrapped in a bath towel, and kept chanting courage, "Who? I have a weapon, I'm going out, I really have a weapon..." In fact, he just held what he took off in his hand. Martin boots.

When I came to the living room to see, it turned out that the orange cat had been sneaking in from the window to steal corn flakes. No wonder there was the sound of Xisuo Soo. J picked it up and told him that corn flakes with milk is more delicious. He took out a small dish and poured it. Some milk, the orange cat is starving. James wants to send it away from the window and let it go out by himself, but the orange cat is obviously unwilling. J can’t let it stay overnight and take it the next day. Go out and ask in the community who lost a cat.

Huang Mao has an iron will, once he recognizes you, he will never leave...

Early the next morning, I helped the orange cat find the owner. I asked around the community to find no results. Some people were also fierce and not friendly. J also noticed some bad phenomena in the community: some people were selling drugs to the needy. People. J strives to keep her distance from these people. I didn't find the owner J and didn't plan to keep the cat. I was wandering and couldn't raise it, so I let it go in the grass and bid him farewell.

Within a few days, James unexpectedly found the orange cat "sit down" in the corner of the community grass. He walked in and saw that there was a blood hole on his body. It should have been a fight with other cats (estrus or turf?) Can't bear to let it go Regardless, J picked up the cat again and wanted to treat it. It happened that Betty, a girl next door, happened to be a volunteer at the veterinary workstation. James didn’t know anything about cats. From Betty, he learned some basic "raising". What to know for cats" Betty knows animals well, and tells J that he wants us to call him Bob, which is how Bob's name comes.

In order to see the doctor for Bob, the medical expenses were 22 pounds, J spent all his money (when he met his father on the road before, he got some pocket money, otherwise he couldn't even pay 22). During the period, he also delayed his drug treatment several times. Dissatisfied with the detox doctor, and worried about whether he can't stick to it (James needs to go to the pharmacy to get medicine regularly without interruption). He cured Bob and sterilized him by the way. James still did not decide to take him to stray with him. He separated from Bob during a bus ride, but he did not expect Bob to step on a few stone steps. , Got on the back steps of BUS, went all the way to the second floor (the double-decker bus in the UK) to find James and jumped on him. This plot is really warm.

Since I can’t get rid of it, I can only take it along with the street performers. The performers are all with Bob. The business has unexpectedly improved. Many passers-by think this turmeric cat is too cute, and they have invested money in J, hoping that the cat can live. Better, this made James unexpected. A street performer ran into an old woman. Because Bob was very similar to a cat she had raised before, she brought Bob a gift: a colorful scarf belt and a canned cat. At the same time, she shared her story with J. I really like it. The old woman's phrase "Huang Mao has an iron will" I don't know why it is so touching.

The blue snood given by the old woman

James and Bob, the street pair gradually came into people’s field of vision. Some newspaper reporters wrote palm-sized social news reports on their deeds, which made the J&B group even more popular, and they spread quickly on YouTube. After opening, James knew that since he had Bob, his life has really been different. He met Betty, a neighbor girl, and his love for each other gradually developed into a romantic relationship. Betty also has a sad past of her own. She lives in this place next to James. The room actually belonged to her brother. There were paintings of his brother everywhere. Her brother also died of drug overdose, which hit Betty a lot. After J knew about it, he did not tell her that he was a drug addict who was undergoing treatment. .

As James became famous, Buzz, a drug friend with him in the early days, intercepted J on the street and wanted to ask for some money for food. J knew that he might take the money and buy drugs again. The money was so that he didn’t want to give him anything. Money, but he couldn’t bear it because of his skinny appearance, so he gave a small amount of money and left quickly. J didn’t want to have any contact with people in this circle anymore, looking for the goodwill of the drug rehabilitation doctor, his girlfriend Betty, and his reintegration into his father’s family. Back to the family, and Bob... He must successfully detoxify and start a normal life. This belief became firmer when Buzz died of drug abuse one night.

Life is not always smooth sailing. During a street performance, a vicious dog peeed on a leather bag (the leather bag is placed in front to throw money for the guests) James had some conflicts with the dog owner, in order to protect Bob (the vicious dog) Calling constantly) J was afraid that Bob would be scared, so he tucked him in his jacket to protect him. The crowd was in a commotion. This incident directly led to James being banned from street art. Without a source of income, Bob went from three flavors of canned cats to buying only one flavor, but it didn’t take long for J to find a job distributing magazines for the publishing house. The rule is that each distributor is responsible for one. Areas can only be sold in areas under their own responsibility, and cannot be sold in areas of other people. It seems easy, and Bob is so popular, it should be no problem to sell with it.

The life of selling magazines is quite stable. I have a stable house and stable job. I feel that I can quickly get rid of my drug addiction and live a normal life. Every time I go to the pharmacy to receive detoxification drugs, I only drink 10ml... victory is in sight. But the good times didn't last long. In the process of selling magazines, J was mistaken by his companions for selling magazines on someone else's site due to misunderstanding, and complained to the company. J was directly punished and stopped working for 1 month! It’s like a bolt from the blue. I’ve been banned from selling street art before, and now I can’t sell magazines for another month. This month I’m destined to eat dirt... Bob meows hungry, James yells at him in a rage, but immediately regrets it. , Apologized to it again and hugged it...

In order to make ends meet, James took the risk to go to the street to do art a few times. He met his girlfriend Betty and advised him not to take the risk. It would be very troublesome to be investigated... During another street performance, Bob stayed on J’s shoulder and didn’t. Knowing where a few large dogs sprang out, they chased Bob all the way, J chased him all the way, but still didn't find it, Bob just disappeared at the end of the street.

J locked himself at home and cried bitterly... He didn't know what to do. He looked out the window and saw the suspicious people selling drugs again. He opened the door and went out as if they were walking... He wanted to go. Buy some drugs? Bob is not around, he seems to have lost his soul, "What do I need? How much?" ... "Uh, have you seen an orange cat?" James is still Hold on to the idea.

He can't just fall short.

I didn’t sleep all night, I didn’t know how I got up. I moved my steps hard and came to the living room. My eyes seemed to feel an orange object on the window sill and sofa. I looked intently. It was Bob who came back, sobbing with joy. ω 罒

One month passed quickly, and the job of selling magazines resumed. This time J will be very careful not to make any mistakes in his work and keep his job. Detoxification has also come to an end. Drugs can be discontinued. You need to overcome a period of uncomfortable time. If you survive it, you will win!

Love and trust across species

James finally used his own will (should be after slowly gaining attention, J felt the kindness and love of the people around him, and his own will was also strengthened) not to break the pot, successfully embarked on a new life, and survived that For a few nights, the ray of morning light shone on him, everything is a new beginning, and he can finally say goodbye to his previous self. To regain the family affection, the publishing house contacted the publication of the book after learning of his legendary deeds.

Write at the end

James is flattered by Bob's insufficiency. He originally felt that he had no friends and was abandoned by his family in society. He felt dependent on Bob. Once people have care and dependence, they will have demands on themselves. This may be Come from love or the power of responsibility. After watching the film, I kept thinking, how did Bob redeem this young man? Bob is really rich spiritual cat, in fact, more of a James himself redeemed himself.

James’s astray is mainly due to his family’s self-destruction after the breakdown of his family (parents divorced). In fact, he is a very caring child. This is why the drug addiction doctor desperately wants to save him. When the doctor said he wanted to hear him sing. At that time, he was obviously taken aback. J felt that no one likes him. Who would like his music? Children who lack love are prone to fall into inferiority complex, the infinite loop of inferiority complex. But the female doctor knew very well that he was a simple, simple and kind-hearted child, and it was worth her to fight for a house for this.

J’s soul is kind, and under the financial situation that he is also "the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is difficult to protect himself". He spent all his money to save an unknown cat. There is a mouse hole in the house with a "neighbor." "Mouse, always sneaking out to drink Bob's milk, James finds that Bob is going to catch the mouse, and his paw goes into the mouse hole and digs out. J will block the mouse hole with a book and tell Bob , Can't catch neighbors. Haha, it's really cute here. James really has a heart of gold, as innocent as a child.

This story can also be seen as a realistic version of "Cat's Repayment"
