To be honest, I did have high expectations at the beginning, but after watching it, I felt a bit disappointed. The director is the same as the one who directed "Hachi: A Dog's Tale," and is known as the best director for dog movies, but honestly, I didn't find it very sentimental. I can't quite understand those comments from people who said they cried their eyes out in the cinema. Maybe my friend and I have a higher and more unique threshold for tears.
To put it simply:
1.The plot was a bit awkward, and there was a lot of forced sentimentality. The dog lived through four lives, and each life didn't have much connection, and the emotional storylines were hastily resolved without fully reaching the audience's emotions. It was touching to see the dog go from the first owner to eventually returning to the first owner, but it felt a bit shallow. I didn't really feel any particularly tear-jerking moments.
2.The movie wanted to convey living in the present, kindness, or love. However, as a dog movie, it focused too much on the human perspective. Although there were many heartwarming details in the film, they didn't string together to make the whole movie as tearful as expected.
