The theme is family affection, the form is cute pets and funny, a warm and funny movie. Sacrificing family because of work, seeing the importance of family love because of a cat's bystander status. Because of the cuteness of the cat itself, the combination of plot and special effects is so cute. Routine or cliché but this does not affect the maturity and success of this film.
Family and workplace are the two lines of the story, and the two lines develop in parallel. Family is the theme, and workplace content is just to serve the theme. More than 90% of the content is family content, the plot of the workplace is simplified, but there is no omission of things that need to be expressed, the urgency of the business crisis, and the inner changes of the characters (father and son) are just right.
Tom loves his family, but his career is too heavy. This is obvious, but the picture David drew to Tom Brand when he was a child became the name of the company; he held a special meeting for his daughter's birthday gift, you must know that Brand is a man who cherishes his time and devotes himself to his career (in the When the daughter explicitly asked for a cat as her birthday present, it is not absurd to have a special meeting to choose a birthday present for her daughter, because Brand has an almost obsessive-compulsive hatred for cats, but he still resisted buying it for his daughter. a cat) as a birthday present.
When Brand first became a cat, who saw his family cry for himself, but he didn't realize his mistake at the time. What he wanted was to become a man to continue his career and even save his company, and he didn't realize it. Until I became too workaholic and neglected my family, until the owner of the pet store appeared and told me to coerce and tempt me to do it well (only by trying to be a good cat can you help your family and you can become a human, you have to show it) He began to try to change himself, and he really realized his mistake when he found out that his daughter comforted her mother, but secretly watched the only video of dancing with her father. He realized that he had sacrificed his family for his career, and he started As a cat, make up for the family as much as possible and regain the family. In order for his son to overcome his fear of skydiving, he chose the former between his son and himself ("I would rather be the best cat if this is the price of becoming a human"). When you think about it, this movie is really sweet. A person who sacrificed his family because of his work finally realized the transformation process of what really matters. There is more than one dimension in life. It can be height, depth, and width, but if it lacks temperature, it is too imperfect.
To be honest, when I was watching this movie, I suddenly thought of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption". Of course, it only focuses on the word redemption, because "The Shawshank Redemption" has a strong sense of redemption, and this movie also has a strong sense of redemption. It also brought me this feeling, and I unconsciously thought of "The Shawshank Redemption". Why do you say that? Think about the first time Brand entered that pet store, Brand drove in, the different cats and Brand looked at each other eerily, and suddenly the cat jumped into his car, and the pet store The image, action and language characteristics of the boss. Doesn't the atmosphere feel very similar to the atmosphere in "Harry Potter"? And the pet store owner said: "You don't choose the cat, the cat chooses you (non-emphasis), and it likes anxious souls (souls!)" The pet store owner is like a god sent to save people's souls angel. Back in the pet shop after Brand became a cat were the cats who said to him: Look, he's back (not the exact words, but that's probably what it means), can I imagine that these cats are tools for redemption or even these Inside the cat is a soul waiting to be rescued. This may be my brain opening, personal opinion. There is also a plot, the villain who has the evil and the evil in the end also turned into a cat. The key point is that the pet store owner reminded him and persuaded him to rein in his horse, but he didn't listen, haha, no way, since he refused to rein in his horse , then let me save you, so another "Brand" was born, and the pet store owner's advice hey appeared when Brand bought a cat and left the pet store, and when Brand heard the phone ringing to answer During the call, the owner of the pet store reminded him not to go. Brand asked why. At this time, the owner of the pet store was a little hesitant. Obviously, he knew what was going to happen, but he couldn't say it, so he said that you are going to be late. . In fact, this reminder from the boss can be regarded as a last chance for him, because Brand has paid so much to give his daughter a perfect birthday. It's a pity that he ended up going, and the pet store owner decided to get started after he left. Based on the above points, I think this sense of redemption really exists.
The cast is strong, needless to say.
Suitable for a wide range of people, all ages. There is a theme, a cute point, a funny point, there is always a suitable one for you. Different people have different feelings when they watch it. Just imagine such a father in reality, or a family with this problem watching this movie is a huge shock. Of course, the probability is low. This movie is very heartwarming and suitable for family members to watch together. I am a person who likes small animals. I watched this movie because of the recommendation of a cute senior, a senior who likes cats. In her statement, I felt that this movie completely made her cute (melting ization). This movie is an unparalleled enjoyment for those who love small animals, especially cats.
The subtitles team is very good, that line of words - who is the sky bypassing, that scene itself is already funny like that, and as a result, the subtitles team came up with a subtitle that fits perfectly, and I was laughing like crazy. Haha, this joke is already beyond the existence.
A very personal opinion, don't mind it: this movie is a bit short, although there isn't much plot, I still think it's too rushed, it should be very enjoyable to watch this one, but for some reason I have a kind of too narrow long alley feeling, I don't know why.
