How beautiful life is, just because I love you

I've always had a hard time watching a movie on the train with relish, let alone this kind of boring American life movie. I just found out that this is the only movie left on the iPad, so I watched it anyway, and the surprise is The two-hour drive was actually filled with this movie. At the end, I was afraid that my neighbors would misunderstand that I was crying because I had left my hometown, so I had to stop going home and continue watching. Of course, this is a good film that really touched me, not only the film itself, but more importantly, it tells the simplest truth of life, and sometimes I just don't want to admit it.


At the beginning of the film, it was composed of a small family. On the snowy wedding night, she said that she had completed two major steps in her life plan, meeting him and marrying him. What a romantic beginning, I think most people dream of such a life, which is probably why most fairy tales end like this. However, this is just the beginning.


The next step is to enter the topic of life, living together, looking for a job, short-term long-distance relationship, until I met Marley, which made life look different. Marley made all kinds of hilarious bridges, people love it and hate it. The male protagonist has a nearly five-minute confession. It is nothing more than who and what did he eat today, what misfortune did Marley get into, and what kind of work did he do? Almost all of them are trivial things in life. Is it a cassette, but in the end the picture freezes on his wife and Marley dancing under the warm yellow lights. The man is sitting in the car watching this scene. I think the home in front of him must be the warmest place in the world at this moment.


The train of life never stops, the first child is born, the second child is born, the wife has to quit her job to take care of the child, the man has to do a job he doesn't like in order to make a better life for his family, and move to a new home. Luxurious community, third child born. These life-recording fragments once again plunge us into a family that is too ordinary to be ordinary. I can understand my wife yelling at her husband hysterically, giving up her job, giving up her pride, giving up her once-impossible dream, just for the crying of her children, Marley's naughty, and a home where everything seems to be unsatisfactory. But after all, this is just a momentary anger, she loves such a home so much. The second time the man sat in the car and watched his wife dance with the baby in her arms, at this moment his role seemed to have more responsibility.


Everything went as usual, until Marley fell ill, the family faced separation for the first time, and the story was coming to an end here. I watched the most "bad" dog in the world hide in the forest silently, not wanting to make the owner sad. When the owner was looking for it in the heavy rain, he couldn't hold back and cried. At this time, Marley was already this The inaccessible part of the home, it existed so real, for example, the phone and the sofa cushion all have traces of it. Why can dogs accompany us for such a short time, because people have to learn the truth of loving people for a lifetime, they will be born in their lifetime. Marley has always accompanied this home with love. This home is full of the love of husband and wife, the love of parents and children, and the love of Marley. Even through such an unreal screen, I can still feel this incomparable Happiness.


This bland and a bit monotonous film just tells us one of the simplest truths in this way. This is life. It is really not as rich as you think. There is no such thing as a high-end, aristocratic life in British dramas. This is the life of most of us, but who can say that it is not happy?


Life is the opposite of passion, but I take it as a safe haven.
Life is inherently dull, and happiness is only about every little thing that is trivial in the eyes of outsiders.
Life is but a trifle, the happiness is that we can find every moment of each other's happiness in the trifle.
Life is actually beautiful because we love each other.

Marley & Me quotes

  • Debby: There were 11 thunderstorms while you were gone, 11, you were right, he doesn't like them and just so you know I am a dog person but that is not a dog, that is evil with a dog face that humps my leg and is peeing on your carpet.

  • Jennifer Grogan: Marley's not allowed to drink out of the toilet, you should just keep him out of the bathroom in general.
