The first scene aroused my great movie-watching interest, as if God was looking at the world from a depression angle lens, and there was only a small bicycle hurriedly passing by on a busy city overpass. The camera turned off, and the girl riding a bicycle crossed the empty bridge alone. She looked around as if looking for something. The wind passing by the deserted street and the sound of black shoes and white socks stepping on the chain of a bicycle, suddenly the background music switched to a majestic symphony, and a group of mad dogs running and roaring in the corner of the street, like a turbulent flood The girls swarmed. Stepping across the zebra crossing like piano keys, the music stopped abruptly.
In addition, there is the bloody cattle slaughter scene in the slaughterhouse. The girl plays the trumpet to coax Hagen to sleep. Wake up in the bathtub early in the morning, Hagen, who was abandoned on the road, wanders between the cities at a loss and is treated by tramps. Sold to dog dealers and fell into the hands of dogfighters for training and dogfighting. The little girl followed the boy who had a crush on entering the nightclub for a confused carnival. The escaped Hagen was caught in the stray dog camp and resisted and eventually tore the administrator’s throat to lead. The stray dogs rushed out of the camp, the student symphony orchestra performed indoors, and outside was the mad dog army ransacking the city, breaking through the human blockade, and taking revenge.
In the last scene of the slaughterhouse, the girl played a trumpet against the dog army led by Hagen. When the trumpet ended, the dog and the people were quiet. The girl fell on the ground and looked at the dog. The camera switched back to God’s perspective and overlooked this Everything, the morning air is full of tranquil smells and sweet birdsong.
The whole film is dressed in the coat of animals, mixed with the rebellion of the adolescent girl's rebellion against the divorced parents and the detached love. The father who has failed in life finally puts down his authority and returns to the lover of his daughter on an equal basis. The humanity of the ruthless tramp and dogfighter Treacherous, the horror of the dog tearing the administrator's throat, the horror of the blood-washed dog dealer, the grand epic of a group of dogs looting the city like war, and the allegorical nature of the quiet space after the confrontation.
However, many adulterations inevitably mess up the position. The relationship between the girl and Hagen is not deeply portrayed (the girl's acting skills are not very good), and the attitude towards the father after his abandonment of Hagen is dispensable, which leads to the lack of convincing and stupid dog hunting. Hagen’s sudden outburst of intelligence is not enough just to pave the way for the stray and dog fighting experience. The deliberate and excessive force of the human-dog battle, and the last scene where the father runs over and the girl side by side with the girl from the perspective of God, although it means more. It always feels ruined the picture.
There are also many advantages. The magnificent and warm symphony is top-notch, the shaking of handheld photography without losing the subtlety and beauty of perspective scheduling, the exquisite and beautiful details, and the coexistence of cruelty and grotesque plot advancement. The director criticized the unequal discrimination between races with a large number of elements, novel angles and an anti-human temperament. The dog in the film can be replaced with any race, especially the hostility between people, and the director focuses on the plot between parents and children.
For the dogs in the film, all humans are from the perspective of God, and for us watching the movie off-film, the audience is from the perspective of God. The unequal perspective itself is a discrimination perspective, although this perspective may never disappear, because anyone has the right to criticize, but as long as you don’t give up the tiny kind thoughts in your heart, it is like the trumpet in the hands of the little girl in the movie. Similarly, there will be fewer killings in this cruel world.
