The English name of this film is "Dogman", because the protagonist Marcello (Marcello Fonte) is a veterinarian, and the pet shop he runs is called "Dogman", which can be understood as "dog man". Or "a humble man like a dog". In the eyes of Simon and his neighbors, Marcello has always been a humble and good person, no, he should be humble. In order to satisfy his daughter's diving hobby, Marcello did not hesitate to make money by selling drugs and stealing; in order to maintain his "friendship" with Simon, or to say that he was afraid of Simon, he was willing to go to jail for him, which is really despicable in his bones; but when he kills Simon is dead, and eager to show this feat to the neighbors, in hopes of winning back the goodwill of the neighbors. But at the end of the film, no one paid any attention to Marcello at all. There was only a dog by his side. The ending was also the one with the most explosive acting skills. There was no line, only Marcello's expression close-up, from close-up to long-range, the protagonist The emotions from excitement to loss, emptiness, confusion and finally understanding are all written on the face. This is really not something that ordinary actors can hold. The Cannes Best Actor deserves his name!
