Today I want to share with you a real and touching movie journey that makes people think - "Dog God". Don't think this is just a healing movie about dogs, this is an in-depth exploration of life and self-redemption directed by the great director Luc Besson. Four years ago, the director was in turmoil, and now he is back with a new work, which has received rave reviews at home and mixed reviews abroad. It all started with the percentage of "Last Judgment" that we were trying to solve.
First, let's focus on the main character, Douglas. His eyes full of tenacity and persistence are the vitality that the director is used to showing. The film reveals the misery of his childhood, a poor child who was abused by his father and betrayed by his brother. Life pushes him into the abyss of pain, but the dog beside him becomes his strength and helps him escape from that nightmare.
This is not just a sad story, but also a deep reflection on the nature of life. Doug once said, "I can walk, but I can only die", this sentence is not simply pessimistic, but a brave questioning of the meaning of existence. Through a conversation with Evelyn, a psychiatrist and police officer, the director skillfully shows the various conflicts and desires in the protagonist's heart.
The depth of the film is not only reflected in the personal struggles of the protagonist, but also in showing the cruelty of reality. Harassment from insurance companies, threats from gang hooligans, these are all problems that we may face in reality, and Doug's battle to protect the peaceful life he has built is exactly what each of us may experience.
Doug's life is not lonely. Salma was a mentor in his life, and through theatrical performances, he was able to release his innermost emotions. Salma's character is not just a character, but also a guide to his spiritual world. The rendering of drama in the film allows the audience to see another possibility in life, a way to heal the heart through performance.
However, the misery and joy of life are like two sides of the same coin. Salma's departure became a test for Doug's soul, but drama remained a ray of light in his life. In an audition at a drag bar, his voice transcends the limitations of the physical body and becomes the liberation of the mind. This scene is not only a tribute to the power of art, but also a reaffirmation of vitality.
The dogs in the movie become the "saviors" of Doug's life. In the face of the invasion of the gangsters, they fought alongside Doug and showed amazing courage. Although the battle did not end perfectly, the movie expressed its perseverance and courage in life through this plot.
Eventually, Doug realizes that the dog, the drama, and Salma are just a ray of light in his life, and that true self-redemption must be done by himself. The film culminates with a scene where he escapes from detention with his dog-mate, and the moment he stands upright, he looks tough in the sun. However, he eventually collapsed and was surrounded by many dogs, which was the completion of his self-redemption and the interweaving of life and death.
Four years later, Luc Besson once again proved his unique style as a director with The Dog God. This is not just a movie, but a sincere and touching story. If you haven't seen this movie, then you're really missing out on a deep and broad insight into life. Luc Besson's "The Dog God" is a beam of light, waiting for you to discover and feel. Here, we come to an abrupt halt and look forward to your viewing experience!
