Same but different

Watching too many romance movies may be numb. No matter how many pet movies watch, it seems that it is difficult to be immune to the ending of tearing. Pet movies, no matter how you make them, you will never escape the constant heavy ending.

The plot of the movie is more clichéd, typical American happy popcorn, the first half strives to create a happy and happy atmosphere, the second half opens the protagonist's hell mode, and then the protagonist overcomes many difficulties and finally comes to a happy ending.

However, the interesting part of this movie is that the narration in the heart of the dog appears many times throughout the play: "The Mongolians believe that the dog will be reincarnated as a human after the dog's birth." Although it is clear that this narration must be a foreshadowing by the director for the ending, and he also knows that the ending of this film will inevitably be different from other dog movies, but the plot that paved the way for the whole film will eventually follow the one named Enzo. When the little boy arrived, I was really caught off guard.

This is a cookie-cutter and distinctive dog movie, for the dubbing of Kevin Costner, for the unexpected but surprising ending, for the end of the immortal melody of Have You Ever Seen the Rain, this movie Don't miss it.

    Many life philosophical racing metaphors are not mentioned, and the last sentence of life is a moment of crying when there are gains and losses. I cried badly. I couldn't help crying, it was like a child's cry. Just like raising golden retrievers, I just want to hug our mango baby tightly, and even want to buy a sports car and take mango for a ride right away.

The Art of Racing in the Rain quotes

  • Denny: The car goes where the eyes go.

  • Enzo: Sometimes my life seems like it has been so long and so short at the same time. I feel as if I've lived for an eternity.

    Denny: [enters the house] Yo, Enz?

    Enzo: And yet it's as if no time has passed at all.

    Denny: [notices Enzo lying on the floor] Enzo?

    Enzo: I hear the worry in his voice.

    Denny: What happened pal? Oh, Enz.

    Enzo: I can smell the day on him. Motor oil and gasoline and roast chicken.

    Denny: Can you get up, bud?

    Enzo: I saw a documentary about Mongolia on TV once.

    Denny: [steps over Enzo and bends to rub hin] Oh... Okay.

    Enzo: In Mongolia, when a dog dies, he is buried high in the hills, so people cannot walk on his grave.

    Denny: [Rubbing him] I'm here buddy, I'm right here.

    Enzo: His master whispers into the dog's ears his wishes that in his next life the dog will return as a man. Not all dogs return as men they say. Only those who are ready.

    Denny: Let's get you up

    [picks Enzo up]

    Enzo: I am ready. I know death is not the end. Eve told me so. And I believe her. When I return to this world, I will practically be an adult the moment I am plucked from the womb with all the preparation I have done.

    Denny: [lays down on the sofa with Enzo] there he is.

    Enzo: I will walk among my fellow men, lick my lips with my small dexterous tongue and shake hands with a firm grasp.

    Denny: [rubbing his head] There's my Enzo.

    Enzo: And I will teach people all that I know. All that I have learned.

    Denny: [puts on tv] you okay now?

    Enzo: I'm fine Denny. I am.

    Denny: You've always been with me. You've always been my Enzo. First time I saw you, I knew we were supposed to be together. I love you boy.
