When "A Dog's Way Home" was promoted, it was called a companion piece to "The Mission of a Dog". Mr. Hairtail thought it was the work of the same director or starring role, but he did not expect it to be the same novel by W. Bruce Cameron. Adaptation of different plots.
Two years ago, a man watched "The Mission of a Dog" in a movie theater and cried, so he was deeply impressed. Moreover, the director Lesse Holstein was also a dog lover, and he filmed the dog trilogy, and the other two The parts are "The Years of Dog Face" and "The Story of Hachiko, a Faithful Dog".
Both "A Dog's Mission" and "A Dog's Way Home" both talk about how a dog returns to its owner, but the narrative angle is different, resulting in different story lines and expressions. The former came back to the owner after four stages of reincarnation, focusing on time, while the latter came back through 400 miles of climbing and wading, focusing on distance.
In contrast, I prefer "A Dog's Mission". Because that movie is not only a few reincarnations of the dog, but also constitutes the owner's life. The time span is so large that this love appears to be even thicker. I believe many people will also be moved by the leaping action of the dog at the end of the film.
And "A Dog's Way Home" is only an important stage in life, more like the salvation of a trip, a bit of a feeling of "running away for half a life, and returning home is still a teenager", coupled with the legal prohibition greatly weakened the owner Love with dogs.
Both films use some seemingly unrealistic means to complete the dog's loyal love to the owner. On the surface, "A Dog's Way Home" is closer to reality. We have reason to believe that the dog will return after losing it. And "The Mission of a Dog" is a cruel death, through reincarnation, of course people who believe in Buddhism naturally believe this to be true.
But in the end, I believe more in the authenticity of the story of "A Dog’s Mission", and the animals in it are also real. It makes me believe in love and cherish the present even more, even if you are no longer in this world, but still with me In the world, forever.
And "A Dog's Way Home" chose to use special effects to complete. For example, the big cat (puma) in the film was made with extremely detailed special effects. Although the special effects are perfect, they have deceived many people, but the audience's mind There will always be an idea: Is this true? Cougars and dogs? ?
Of course, it is not possible normally. Regardless of whether it is true or false, this interrupts the audience’s emotional point of expecting the dog to go home, and thus falls into the idea of "It’s actually good to be with a cougar", unlike "One "Dog's Mission" uses death to bid farewell to the audience's tears.
In addition, the dubbing of "A Dog's Way Home" was not satisfactory, and the voice did not match the image of the dog, which caused many viewers to complain and it was a little acting.
Therefore, after watching "A Dog's Way Home", I didn't feel particularly sad. The protagonists in the film didn't seem to be so happy as expected, but they returned to the legal dog-raising regulations. In contrast, the two dog films are judged on top of each other. Which one do you prefer?
