Really enjoy your life

I have enjoyed watching Jet Li movies since I was young.
Whether it's the former Shaolin Temple, Fang Shiyu, Huang Feihong, Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng, or the current Hollywood blockbuster.
I haven't missed one. Some have even seen it N times.

Recently I watched his one, not his "Fearless", but "Danny the Wolf Dog".
I think "Danny the Wolf Dog" is his best appearance in so many Hollywood films.
It's no longer a pure martial arts action movie, but injects more humane elements and tests acting skills.

Danny, an orphan who can't remember his own mother, has a vague memory of the past, and was raised by the way of raising a wolf dog by the murdered mother's enemy.
As soon as he unfastened the collar on his neck, he was frantically beaten with tools.
He rarely speaks. Being locked in a cage, living an inhuman life.
He seems to have no thoughts. There are no requirements. I never asked my own past. Take everything silently.
Until I met the blind tuner Sam in the antique shop. Danny realized that there was still a place in his heart that was so delicate.
It's no longer the hitting tool that obeys one's orders and has no thoughts. No longer a trained wolf dog.
With Sam, he felt safe and warm. The animal nature gained through training began to slowly disappear.
In Sam's house, he learned how to drink soup and how to buy fruit in the supermarket.
In the beginning, as long as someone approached the position of his collar, he would block it with his hands in horror.
He was afraid that as soon as the collar was untied, those terrible images would appear again. He was even more afraid that he would beat people madly again.
It was Sam and Victoria who opened his heart. The collar was taken off, and Danny was finally able to get rid of the shadow of the collar.
When he promised to move with Sam, when he got his "salary" for the first time,
he began to know what happiness is. What is "home".
I thought that life could be lived as simply as that.

However, the good times did not last long.
The encounter on the street forced him to return to that animal world.
But he is no longer the Danny he used to be.
Even if he unlocked his collar now, he would no longer just be crazy about beating people regardless of the reason just because of the boss's "kill him".
Now he can bravely refuse-I don't want to hurt people any more. The
boss thinks that he is playing his temper and does everything possible to coax him.
However, the concept of home has taken root in Danny's heart. He longed to return to Sam and Victoria.
So he went back to Sam's house desperately.
Take the photo I got from the boss-his mother. And the piano.
He began to search for the truth. It was the Mozart Sonata No. 11 that his mother often played that evoked all his memories.
The terrible and cruel truth awakened him. He decided to take revenge.
But hatred will blind a person's heart. He will no longer look like himself.
If it weren't for Sam and Victoria's efforts to stop him, Danny might still be the same as before,
just a wolf dog who obeyed his orders, living in pain forever.

The ending of the story is what we most want to see.
Danny got his second life. With Sam and Victoria. Like a family. happily. happily.

"Danny the Wolf Dog" is really a movie worth watching.
When the truth becomes clear, the story gradually reaches its climax.
A person's past does not entirely represent pain.
Only by seeing your own past can you better understand what you want.
No longer blindly. Really enjoy your life.
