Gad’s initial feral form being a brief one, the longest stretch of the film revolves around his life as Bailey, under the care of eight year old Ethan (Bryce Gheisar) who, along with his Mum (Juliet Rylance – stepdaughter of Sir Mark), rescues the pup from an overheating car. Josh Gad voices an internal narration for Hallström’s canine protagonist through its gender-fluid, Saṃsāra existence, opening the film with those age old questions: ‘What is the meaning of life?’, ‘Are we here for a reason?’ and ‘Is there a point to any of this?’ The last question is far too easy bait here. Also tackled here are: the Cuban Missile Crises, domestic abuse, depression and animal neglect not forgetting, of course, the philosophical question of ‘being’ that drives the plot. This may look like cute, canine fun for all the family, but don’t be fooled – that’s what it wants you to think – the reality is a bleak, so-called adventure in which the film’s ‘Marley’ is euthanised within the first five minutes, before being promptly reborn as a Golden Retriever called Bailey, whose later death leads to a further two incarnations. So what good did it do? false accusations by PETA and other people about cruelty actually caused a lot more.If you’re among the masses who remain totally convinced that 20th Century Fox missed a trick by not recruiting Werner Herzog to direct Marley and Me back in 2008, Lasse Hallström’s latest, A Dog’s Purpose (aka Nietzsche and Me), is probably the closest thing you’re ever likely to get to consolation.
A DOGS PURPOSE REVIEW MOVIE
If this movie wasn't boycotted, I honestly feel like it could have been a very beneficial movie to help gets more animals adopted from shelters and as such I feel that false accusations actually cause more harm for dogs then it helped and I mean this literally, as many people who may have been inspired to adopt a Dog because of this movie wont and thus cause those pups that could have been adopted by them and on the last stage will be put down. The movie builds a human's love for their dog, and it really portrays how a dog is truly a man's best friend. I have had 4 dogs in my life, and I have always been interested small animal welfare and at one point even was preparing to try and become a small animal Veterinarian so I have heard about and seen many cases of animal abuse and a dog getting wet is not a form of abuse. However, PETA and many other news organization's dont want to report this because it doesn't make news only drama does. There even a trained diver under the dog at all times. There were multiple people in the water if something happened. After the trainer tried to calm him by allowing him test out the water and the dog still was spooked, they stopped attempting the scene from that side and waited for a while. He was trained to jump in on the opposite side of the pool to what was shown in the video.
When in fact Hercules was chosen to do this scene because of his affinity to water. The controversial videos show that "Hercules", the dog in the scene that particular scene went viral, was apparently being forced into the water. It is an absolute shame that this movie has be swept under the rug by many people because they believe everything they read on the internet and dont think/research things for themselves.
A Dog's Purpose does a superb job at building up heartfelt emotion in a short amount of time in many ways just like Marley and Me did. This movie visually shows many different ways that dogs are treated good/happy and unfortunately bad/sad. A Dog's Purpose is an outstanding movie about a dog's love for their Dogs Best Friend/Human. One of the most heartfelt movies I've ever seen Let me start by warning you this movie will probably make you cry if you ever owned a dog. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
