Those who are lost are lost, and those who meet will meet again.

From the perspective of Labrador Enzo, the whole film narrates the daily life of Danny, the racing driver, racing, love, marriage, having a daughter, his wife's death due to illness, fighting for custody, and a new starting point for his career... ·No matter how the story develops, Enzo's inner world is strong and stable, which makes the whole film look like there is not much rhythm of climaxes, and it is more tender. If the dog has a soul (of course it does), this is probably the case.

Compared with other movies of the same type, Enzo is obviously more self-aware. Its racing soul, it firmly believes that it will be reincarnated as a human being, and is ready, "Mongolians believe that dogs will be reincarnated as human beings after they are born." Therefore, it and Danny's company have a sense of destiny other than good friends. Their first encounter was when Danny was attracted by Enzo's bark when he picked a dog. Danny thought he chose Enzo, but in fact It was Enzo who chose Danny. Two hearts with racing spirits are attracted to each other, and even after reincarnation, Enzo still chooses Danny, his fate is really wonderful.

For Danny, Enzo is a good friend who accompanies each other, and a family member who always inspires and guides him to see what he longs for in his heart. The first time Enzo followed Danny to the racetrack, he was shocked by the exciting scene, and also moved by Danny's love and dedication to his dreams. They are just in the moment." This open-minded life spirit also encouraged Enzo, so when he faced death, he did not panic and waited peacefully for the next fate.

"Danny has said that the best drivers only focus on how they move in the present, they never lament the past, and they never expect too much from the future."
"I always hear an old saying from Danny: No one can win the race in the first corner, but a lot of people lose there."
"Your heart determines what you see."
"It's not shameful to lose, it's shameful not to play because you're afraid of losing."

Those who meet meet meet again, and so do Enzo and Danny.
