This film is not a simple pet selling cuteness, nor is it a thrilling story of a cute pet savior, nor does it have too many pitiful and miserable life...
The film uses a third-perspective approach with pets as the point of view, unfolding the story between Enzo the Golden Retriever and his owner Danny in flashbacks. The overall tone is warm and sad, because we all know the ending is a heart-wrenching goodbye.
The film opens with Enzo listlessly lying on the floor of his home, the dim tones and the angle of the backlight seeming to suggest that this may be the end of his life. At this moment, the voice-over sounded Enzo's voice, and his rambled exhortations resembled an old man lying on a hospital bed leaving innocuous last words to his family. However, in the end, he was just a barking dog, and he couldn't speak. Go and reassure Danny not to worry. It looked back at its life and said that it would be reincarnated in the next life as the Mongolians said, and kept the memory of Danny with Danny for more than ten years in his soul.
I think for Enzo, the owner may be the existence that he can't rest assured at the end of his life. It has too much reluctance and worry in its heart, but it can no longer accompany its master.
Watching the full movie, I think whether it's Enzo or Danny, they may have always been by each other's side and guarding each other. Maybe Enzo will leave, but it will still be by the owner's side, no matter what form it exists. I believe in that beautiful legend, because he can make Enzo realize his wish, he can wait for his master with confidence, and one day, they will meet again in different forms.
Don't be afraid of the arrival of parting, please say goodbye with laughter and look forward to our next encounter, all the waiting will be worth it.
