First of all, this is an American film that is very different from the traditional meaning. Although the United States is a melting pot of cultures, the concept of "recarnation" is rarely seen in works. After all, it is not the mainstream culture of the United States. In the eyes of most Americans, when it comes to religious belief, Christianity and its branches are still the mainstream. I think the author wants to use the ideas of other religions to show everyone the possibility of different lives, because this is not only a dog looking for the purpose of his life, but also the mission of "a person" looking for a "person".
Bailey:
Bailey is the dog that the director has described for the longest time. Its owner, Ethan, found his hobby because of Bailey. Ethan found out that he had the talent to play rugby because he liked to play rugby-throwing games with Bailey. A scholarship to enter the university. Here we want to mention Ethan's father by the way, and he was chased away by Ethan after being a violent wine. Ethan's father is a representative of a kind of people. They have to do things they don't like in order to maintain their family's livelihood. He failed when trying to get a promotion, because his life and business did not go well, which led to drunkenness, and he was depressed from then on. When he saw that his son got a scholarship because of his good football, he didn't even encourage him, and he continued to get drunk. Because he envied Ethan, but his life has come to this point, and there is no way to save it. Back to Ethan, I got the scholarship smoothly, and chased the girl I liked. He seemed to be a winner in life, but he was jealous. He was fired by a cannon and caused a fire at home. He broke when he jumped down from the second floor. After losing his legs, he could no longer continue to play rugby. From then on, he ran his grandfather's farm and lived an ordinary life. Bailey also died because of Ethan's self-isolation and refused to eat.
Ellie:
Ellie is a police dog. His owner showed great power when he received the honor of solving crimes, but he always looked lazy when he returned home. The ghost knew how tired he was every time he solved the crime, and sometimes even risked his life. danger. The camera always repeatedly took a picture frame on the head of his bed, the photo was of a lady. Although the origin of this woman is not stated in the movie, it can be guessed that the woman should be the wife of the policeman, and she should be gone. Because every late at night, the policeman slept alone, and he sighed and irritated infinitely, until one day Ellie insisted on lying on the police bed, and got the police's permission to sleep on a bed. Ellie was shot and killed when he was tied up in the crime. (The scene of the dog jumping from the dam to save the girl is really moving.)
Tino: Tino with
short legs is really super cute, watching it, it really makes people want to buy a dog and raise it after watching the movie. Impulse. The relationship between Tino and the owner reflects the normal state of the next type of girl, studying alone, eating alone, watching movies alone, and doing everything alone. She also looks forward to seeing her prince charming. Because the boy chasing the girl also has a dog, so they have a common language. It can be seen from the movie that Tino’s owner’s family is wealthy. They don’t worry about eating and drinking. They have 3 children and 2 dogs. In the end, Tino and Tino's companions slowly died of old age. Tino himself said, "I had a good life".
Buddy:
Just after a lucky life, I will be reincarnated as a stray dog. The treatment contrast is too great. Buddy has never entered the owner's house, Buddy has grown up in the rain and wind. In the end Buddy was abandoned. It's also because the owner of Buddy is a wanderer himself, living in a dilapidated house and driving a dilapidated pickup.
In fact, it is easy to see that the author has used a dog's reincarnation very cleverly to show us the different lives of many people. Some seem to be going well after Ethan suffered misfortune, some Ethan’s mother later divorced because of his father’s drunkenness, some seemingly mighty police officers who were alone every day, some ordinary people who passed their lives smoothly and carefree, and Ethan 'S girlfriend, because of her boyfriend's misfortune, she closed herself off and went on a different path in life. After reading everyone's life, there are actually small flaws and small problems.
In the movie, Ethan is lucky, but because Buddy is Bailey who has been reborn for the third life, he can finally find his true love. But in real life, some people really miss it because they miss it. Imperfection is the normal state of life. .
I personally like two things about this movie the most, and taught me two things:
1. Although I have never raised a dog, my friends who have raised a dog will tell me that their dog is very good and loyal. Dogs may really be the most intimate animals in the world. Thanks to this movie for telling me once again that no matter how humans change, when a dog recognizes you, it will follow you one by one until its life ends;
2. Everyone’s life is different and their background is different. , Experiences are different, don’t have to envy other people’s lives, just like people drinking water, knowing one's warmth and coldness. Accept the imperfections of life and live in the present. The dog in the movie can still be reincarnated, and we only have this life. Whether you are a beggar, a policeman, or an ordinary person, a good life is king.
