a dog's purpose review
*SPOILERS*
The first time I watched this movie, I really did not expect it to be what it is.
​
There’s just something about dogs that makes everyone’s heart melt.
After all, they were made to be a companion for humans.
Synopsis
A dog’s purpose is exactly about what the title says.
This movie consists of different story lines based on one dog that reincarnates over and over again but in a different dog’s body each time.
I hope that made sense?
​
As he reincarnates, stays with different people, with a different name and body, he keeps wondering about what the purpose of his life could be.
​
In every lifetime he realised that the people he stayed with needed his companionship, and he felt the need to make them happy.
​
But he still couldn’t really figure out what his purpose was.
​
Is the purpose to eat? To sleep?
​
By the way, I have to emphasise on how emotional his deaths are.
​
They are very very sad; you must have tissues on you when you watch this.
​
His main storyline lies with a young boy called Ethan.
​
They have a very strong and beautiful bond.
​
In one of his later lifetimes, he even reunites with Ethan.
​
It's really a wonderful journey.
​
The movie has suspense, comedy, emotion, and some violence.
My Thoughts
I really liked the concept of this movie and how relatable it is even though it’s about a dog’s purpose.
​
There are a few things you can take away from this movie.
​
From my interpretation, you could learn to care for animals, you could believe in miracles, and most importantly you could learn that there may not be a purpose.
​
Maybe we should just enjoy our journey, live in the present, laugh, love, and take care of people.
Recommendation
I highly recommend watching this heartfelt movie.
It’s fun and meaningful.
​
You can watch it as a family as well.
