Maybe the previous pet movies are too similar, and Marley & Me’s handling has been deliberately changed. In the previous pet movies, the focus was always on pets, and the owner around him completely became a supporting role or even a harlequin. After watching the movie, I remember it. , Only the dog, after all, a dog is a dog, and a man is a man.
Marley & Me dealt with it more cleverly, showing Marley as a member of the human family. Sometimes it is the center of the story, and sometimes it will accompany the human friends peacefully, along with the life changes and growth of human friends. , like a member of the family.
The plot of the story is also quite innovative, not because of the twists and turns of the novel, but because there are not so many traces of the "American Dream" and "personal struggle", and it is as plain as the audience's own life. Some are plain, but the source is surprising, some twists and turns, but very warm. Very kind and empathetic.
The pairing of Jennifer and owen is also very good, they feel a tacit understanding, they cherish and support each other, because they are changed from the book, the first point of view of the story is the male protagonist. He originally only wanted to be a reporter. He began to accept writing columns, and he gradually enjoyed it. Although his career ambitions were not dead, and although he would have some small quarrels with his wife, his responsibility for the family and his love for his wife never shouted in front of his wife. Yes, he is always very considerate and understanding, willing to give in silently, but all this is not in vain, and the family will give him full support and encourage him to boldly abandon his original career and pursue his ideals.
Owen's performance is one of the highlights in this film, it's natural, just like a friend around him. I like the way Owen always talks to himself. When he encounters happy things, he will chanting, and when he encounters unhappy things, he will chanting in a low voice. When walking the dog, he will also talk to the dog. If the character is Jim Carrey, it may be deliberately flat, or the producers put a lot of comedy elements in order to take care of Jim Carrey's audience.
I am amazed at Jennifer, I feel a lot more mature inside, but the appearance is really unchanged (for her, I re-watched "Friends" again, it is still funny to say), still the same girl next door feeling, seeing her, there is a feeling of wanting to be with her Hug and say "long time no see". It is not the kind of media that insists on positioning her as an abandoned woman and resentful woman, but with a seemingly weak appearance, she has a considerable sense of independence and independence, she faces the surroundings calmly and positively, and there is no pressure to get along with her. She can also receive timely attention, as well as interesting and content exchanges. At a stage that makes people envious, she feels that her ex-husband is really fascinated by something, so don't leave such a beautiful, reasonable and independent beauty. But she has to love like that~ Jennifer can't be like Nicole Kidman. After a divorce, she can use her ex-husband's investment and sympathy from the outside world to win an Oscar. She doesn't need to change her image deliberately. She will play a tough woman and pretend she is very good. Literature and art, but everyone who has watched "Friends" in the past or in the future will remember Jennifer as a friend around them.
Finally, let's talk about Marley's two Labrador dogs. When Marley was born, it was determined that they were not normal Labrador retrievers. I don't know how to do it. Labrador Retrievers are very clingy, and it is normal to have high energy, and I have never seen such high energy. When I attended the dog school, I saw a famous husky in the lineup. Is it more difficult to bring a Labrador than a husky?
