Chapter 82 a rose for a puppy

Shooting tear-jerking movies with dogs as the protagonists has always been the strength of the Japanese: "Guide Dog Little Q", "The Story of Eight Thousand Kings", "The Miracle Story of Shiba Inu", "Ten Promises Between Me and Dogs"... If there is not a tear-jerking "dog movie" every year, the annual summary of Japanese filmmakers is missing a piece.Now we also have a "dog movie", which is the documentary "Love Walks with Dogs" filmed by Hong Kong film director Angela Chen. The theme of the documentary "Walk with Dogs" is love and loss. Director Chen Anqi filmed it because of loss. The little yellow dog that accompanied her for 16 years finally aged until she died. Apart from constantly recording it, she Leaving more images related to it, there is no other way to control this situation and reverse the expected loss.In the image left by it in the last year before it died, it was old and blind, and it would hit the wall when walking.Losing, when you just got it, when you still have it, it has already been latent, and it is already doomed.

From this, Chen Anqi began to think, what is life, what is death, what is loss, and what reflections of life are there on a puppy?How should we deal with love and loss?So she cooperated with the great director Yan Hao (maybe you still remember his director, "Rolling Red Dust"), interviewed 86 people who have a relationship with dogs, including Huang Guanzhong, photographed their stories with dogs, and selected Ten clips make up "Walk with Dogs". "Walking with Dogs" completely breaks the necessarily dull impression of documentaries, with fresh and pleasant stories, it urges people to watch and watch again and again.And these stories are all about love and loss.What impressed me the most was the story of Christine who pushed the dog out for a walk in a stroller. She was someone else's old mistress. He had cancer. Neither his wife nor his other mistress wanted to take care of him, but they had already prepared After breaking up with him, she stewed bird's nest for him every day, and finally healed him, "even his wife changed her opinion of me" - what she was afraid of was losing, even if it was someone she was planning to leave a long time ago.There is also that poor woman, May, who works hard to feed the 100 stray dogs and 70 cats she has taken in. She often fantasizes that if she wins the lottery, she will immediately buy a large piece of land for them to run. The husband was angry with her and swore that he would never help her. However, at the end of the film, he still went up the mountain to help her clean the kennel, but he still said, "If I meet you in the next life, I will definitely turn around and leave." ".People who have entangled with dogs all have sharp mouths and bean curd hearts.And the woman who held the funeral for the dog, the homeless man who led a dog, the foreign woman who reunited with the puppy... time and time again, it brought tears to my eyes. "Love Walks with Dogs" is a rose for a loyal puppy who will always leave us first.

But it is not a simple tear-jerking movie. It intends to explore deeper themes of life. It uses the eyes of a puppy to see our own reflection, and to examine the epitome of life from the stories of dogs and people. Therefore, it There is another story line, that is, Chen Anqi and her younger brother forgive their father.She hated him for leaving her mother behind and never heard from her again, and hated him for letting her mother, who was already an orphan, experience the feeling of being abandoned for the second time. She and her younger brother decided to forgive her father. She guessed that he had to do something back then and was very embarrassed, so she decided to let the thorns in her heart melt away, because even those animals always love unconditionally, they always forgive and always trust .But there is a greater necessity in life that is above all else, birth, old age, sickness and death, tossing and wandering, every moment is lost, and after every turning around, there is something irreversible, even if you forgive immediately, lest it is too late, if you love like a fire, I'm afraid it's too late.So, love, forgive, and be quick.

The words of Sally, the woman who reunited with the lost dog, are her experience and ours: "What I have learned is that when you love, you feel fear, and the fear of losing what you love is the only thing you can do, Just love more, and if you are afraid of losing what you love, love more." Love, cherish, forgive, and, fast.Because there is always "lost" watching from the sidelines.
