--------------Synopsis-----------

The protagonist chose the hard mode when he was born and became a dog. He was adopted by Ethan and named Bailey.

One day Bailey messed up the house and ate the coins collected by Ethan's father Jim. Originally, he wanted to say: "Listen to my explanation, it's really the first mover of the furniture." Reluctantly, Ethan and Jim had a bad foreign language and didn't understand what he said.

I have to say that Jim was completely carved out of Moriarty.

On the night when Jim invited his boss to a dinner, Bailey cleverly and perfectly spoiled the dinner, causing Jim to lose the opportunity to get a promotion and raise his salary. Since then, Jim has become a drunk and domestic violent uncle. Driven out of the house, the perfect interpretation of the "Living Than a Dog" series.

One day Ethan took Bailey to the amusement park and met Hannah. As a single dog, Bailey assisted and made a good relationship.

Bailey's inner game: Although I am indeed a dog, can you feed me dog food as it should be?

Later, Ethan was admitted to the university with a full scholarship. In order to celebrate, his friend Todd personally lit the house of Ethan’s family. Ethan jumped from the second floor to escape and broke his leg. Overnight, I went from being an athlete to a lower body disability, and I can no longer be a lower body thinking animal. This sudden blow made Ethan unable to face all this, so he broke up with Hannah. Ethan, who returned to being single, couldn't help but begin to thank life. After all, he only broke his leg after jumping off the building. Fortunately, his hands can still be used normally.

Bailey was very happy seeing Ethan as a single dog like himself, and then he was so happy.

After being reborn, Bailey found that he had lost a bit of meat underneath and became a bitch. He was adopted by a policeman, who coincidentally was also a single dog. However, the fate of single dogs is always tragic. Pele was shot during a mission. Life is glorious, and death is great. As a tough guy, the policeman shed tears in despair. After all, he not only lost his lover, but also lost the dog this time. He was destined to be alone in the rhythm of his life.

In the second rebirth, Bailey was adopted by the black girl Maya. Perhaps because of the lack of flesh in the five elements, although his lower body is intact this time, his limbs are short. Later, he assisted Maya again and let Maya say goodbye to her single life. Seeing Maya and her husband lead a happy life, Bailey felt very happy again, and then he was so happy.

In the third rebirth, Bailey was unfortunately adopted by a pair of non-dog lovers, and was later abandoned, so he decided to find the first owner, Ethan. Later, I went to find Hannah, who was already old. Hannah happened to be widowed in old age. Ethan had not married for many years, so they happily formed a family.

Unexpectedly, this single dog helped others as a matchmaker many times, but could not solve his own single problem.

Although the story ended satisfactorily, Bailey was pitiful, and he never said goodbye to his single life four times, and was destined to be alone for four lifetimes. It seems that the mission of a dog is to help the owner get rid of the order, and then continue to be a single dog by himself and be fed dog food regularly and quantitatively every day.

--------------Film Critic---------------

Last month, TMZ website exposed the "Dog Abuse" video at the shooting scene of "The Mission of a Dog", which caused countless foreign netizens to score the film frantically. The IMDB score was once brushed to 1 point.

Recently, a third-party animal protection agency published an independent investigation report on this, confirming that the controversial video posted on the TMZ website "deliberately edited and distorted the facts that happened at the shooting site", and pointed out that the "Mission of a Dog" studio has adequately protected animals. , No animals were injured during the shooting.

However, even if it has been nearly a month since the injustice has been washed away, the score of this film on IMDB is not higher than 5 points, which is lower than the epic co-produced "The Great Wall" between China and the United States. As a man, I am silent when I see it. NS.

This incident also reflects that foreigners are not much smarter than us, and they are also vulnerable to media hype with ulterior motives. Of course, this is not to belittle foreigners, but to state a fact.

In fact, as early as 2014, Du Wenze was given a low score for "Human·Small Reunion" because of his ruthless words that "something prevents me from coming to the mainland". Of course, he said that this sentence is as strong as a mountain and cannot be disputed in a hundred mouths. I support boycotting Du Wenze's movies and not contributing to the box office, but I don't think it is necessary to give a low score if I haven't watched it. Although it is impossible to go to the movie theater to watch the movie he played, it is not too late to score a low score after watching the movie in its entirety after publishing resources on the Internet. (Manually funny)

Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Du Wenze, because he allowed me to see the unity of the Chinese people in my lifetime. The keyboard man (including myself) who can spit out a few words to each other no matter what, surprisingly reached an agreement to boycott Du Wenze’s movie, so that the box office of "Human·Small Reunion" was dismal. It is said that the film party lost 50 million. The equivalent of ten lottery tickets have been won in vain. Since then, no film company has dared to use Du Wenze easily, and inviting him to act in movies has become a show of wealth.

Also in 2014, many netizens gave Peng Haoxiang's "Hong Kong Independence" rumors a low score for "A Coquettish Woman's Best Life". Later, it turned out that he was framed by others, and he did not make any "Hong Kong Independence" remarks. .

Nevertheless, I boldly predict that after Peng Haoxiang's new film "Chun Jiao Save Zhi Ming" is released, there will be some crazy low scores.

Because of the problems of the crew, director, and actors, the act of making negative comments without seeing a movie is exactly what the media with ulterior motives and framed by ulterior motives expect to see. I think that in the future, we should remain sensible about similar public opinions, and don't express opinions lightly until we don't understand the truth of the matter.

Because of factors other than the movie, or rumors made out of nothing, it is a pity to miss a masterpiece.

Back to the movie. "Wolverine 3" and "Lego Batman" will be screened on March 3rd in Mainland China, which staged a good show of Wolverine vs. Batman, which not only opened the prelude to Marvel vs. DC, but also the reality version of "Deadly Magic" ". And I chose to watch "A Dog's Mission". After all, I am also a dog and single.

Originally, I had the mentality of watching a comedy, but I walked out of the theater crying.

The film has adopted the technique of "desire first, suppress". The first time was when Ethan decided to adopt Bailey, but was rejected by his father. Sen was sent to the pet adoption center; the third time was the distance between Ethan and Hannah when they reunited.

After the audience watched more happy endings, they gradually became harsh on the plot of the film and began to feel that the happy ending was not realistic. In this regard, many screenwriters will write a tragic ending, thereby earning the audience's tears, and at this time the audience finds that they still like the comedy ending. In order to "cope with" high-demand audiences, screenwriters have begun to adopt the technique of "desire first, suppress", so as to construct a dramatic and perfect ending on the premise of the comedy ending, so that the audience will not feel that the plot is too much while moving. simple.

I was more impressed by the fact that in "The Spring of the Cow Herding Class", the teacher originally planned to leave alone. After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally decided to take the children and leave, so the audience's tears couldn't stop in an instant. .

Especially for pets, cute things, and superheroes, the crew often uses this method of first "death" and then "resurrection", such as "Steel Giant", "Guardians of the Galaxy" and so on. Therefore, we always see the protagonist "dead" for a minute after the war, and then "resurrected" again. After all, the audience will be scolded if they are not resurrected. While the audience was stunned (not derogatory) and at the same time felt that the film was made well, the screenwriter used this method to perfectly solve the audience's resistance to the "silly white sweet" type of dog-blooded bridge.

If Bailey, who was reborn for the last time, finds Ethan and is naturally adopted by Ethan, it will make people feel that the plot is too simple. And if Ethan decides to adopt Bailey without thinking about it all night, the audience may wonder if he has forgotten his childhood playmate and easily re-acquires a pet.

This is a bit similar to what Garfield said: I would never ask Jon why he walked into the pet store that day.

In addition, after Bailey found Ethan, it was interesting to prove that he was Bailey.

"Nine Life" also has a similar plot. The male protagonist is unfortunately turned into a cat, and later proves that he is a human by trying to write with a pen and spell words with wool. This will undoubtedly give people a feeling of "opening up" or "not playing cards according to the routine".

In this film, although Bailey's narration is in English, he is completely unable to understand human behavior and language. This setting also excludes the possibility of him using words to prove that he is Bailey.

Pele chases his tail, finds the rugby they played together, uses the "movements" shown to catch the rugby, and responds to the nickname of "dog boss" to prove that he is Pele. This series of details let Ethan unfold his childhood memories, which is also a tear point in the film.

There is also a tear point in that Pele died heroically when he was led by the police to carry out the mission. This tough, iron-blooded man who has been on the battlefield shed tears, sublimating the original short and simple second story to a higher level.

My personal favorite is the story of the reunion of Ethan and his girlfriend Hannah. Although it had been expected that they might meet again, I never expected to meet in this way and instantly connect four unrelated stories together. Tells about an ending that tends to be perfect.

Due to the limitation of the subject matter, although the film is not as classic as "The Story of Hachiko", it may not be nominated for six Oscars like "War Horse". If Bailey did not find Ethan in the end, and did not prompt Hannah and Ethan to meet again, this film is at best a collection of four well-deserved short films. It is precisely because of this clever ending that makes this film an excellent work of animal and pet movies.

(It is worth mentioning that this film is directed by Lars Holstrom, director of "The Story of Hachiko".)

Ethan is happy, no matter how many times Bailey dies, rebirths, no matter how many owners change, he still remembers the time spent with Ethan.

Bailey is also happy, even though he is stray, injured, and old, there is also Ethan waiting for him to return home.

Ethan thought to himself: Wait, don't be afraid of the passing of time, don't be afraid of the long journey, as long as it is you in the end. The same is true for the dog, and the same for the lover.

In fact, are we not Ethan who is waiting for friendship and love? Finally, I want to say: Who, in fact, I have been waiting for you. If it's you in the end, it's okay to be late.

    I didn't bring a tissue and ended up crying like an idiot at the movie theater. I could only suck back my snot. After the show, I quickly covered my mouth and ran to the bathroom. . .
