Saddest Film Ever!

5 stars

21 Jan 2019

A Dog's Purpose is a film about a dog who was previously named Bailey (or Baily Baily Baily Baily Baily Baily) and in the film, we see all of this special dog's life, even his depressing and miserable deaths, and in most lives owners were kind and loved him to the maximum whereas other owners in other lives didn't care for him that much.

What I love about this movie is that we don't only see the humans talking or thinking but most of the movie is based on Baily's thoughts and opinions and that makes it a lot more fun because dogs don't really understand much of the human world and I love that this film has shown that a lot throughout the movie. Even though this movie is immensely sad I still love it because the dogs that were in the film were extremely cute and I always love to watch movies that contain dogs in them, even if it is animated! This movie definitely deserves a 5-star rating as a sad movie because they really know how to grab your attention and make you feel things that the characters feel so it is obviously good at being sad! I would recommend this to anyone who loves dogs or to anyone who wants to see people express a dogs feelings!
