大家在哪找到的，網(wǎng)上好像是沒有。有知情者聯(lián)系我。

男人無老婆，養(yǎng)只狗也能行。片子講述一只狗和主人的伴侶生涯。這只狗最后先走一步，卻讓主人寫了一本書來紀(jì)念，兩個家伙都能由此名垂青史，也不辜負(fù)十幾年的同甘共苦。本以為這樣的作品應(yīng)該煽情至觀眾黯然淚下，結(jié)果卻是一個冷靜得讓人到處找癢癢撓兒的結(jié)局。這樣的手筆確實挺英國的。

片子里面有很多很露骨的狗的性生活，畫得不失幽默，但是這部分內(nèi)容有點拖沓，看著看著不知道自己到底是在看人狗伙伴關(guān)系，還是在看動物色情片。給狗找對象成了電影的主要部分，伴隨的是主人啰嗦怪癖的性格。那個絮叨勁兒確實讓人想起常在英國公園里轉(zhuǎn)悠，穿著皺了吧唧的西裝，在寒風(fēng)里用手絹嗚嗚地擤鼻涕的英國老大爺。

片子從頭到尾有旁白講述，動畫仿佛是插圖。說是傳統(tǒng)風(fēng)格，卻也有形式上的突破?？傮w感覺，動畫設(shè)計有很多有意思的細(xì)節(jié)。畫面中有很多英國元素，紅公共汽車、黑色出租車、泰晤士河，還有那個有名的Batersea電廠....一看就是要給美國人看的片子。不過，居然出現(xiàn)明顯的史實錯誤：那種后開口的紅色公共汽車（Routemaster)是在1956年才開始在倫敦使用的。在此之前雖然也有Routemaster，但是應(yīng)該是有門，或者是前面開口的。而不是電影里面后面開口的這種。而這部片子的原作在1956年就完成了。片子一開始有作者采訪丘吉爾的鏡頭，說明應(yīng)該是戰(zhàn)爭時期就有了這個狗。原作一直寫到狗去世，所以狗在紅汽車誕生之前就去世了。電影所涉及的年份根本不應(yīng)該有紅公共汽車。

嘿嘿

It was Roger Ebert's highly favorable review led me to this little animation dog film, adapted by Paul Fierlinger and Sandra Fierlinger from J.R.Ackerley's 1956 memoir with the same title, voice over by Christopher Plummer, Lynn Redgrave and Isabella Rossellini. Released June 10, 2009.

It's a story about companionship between an old lonely man with his unruly female German shepherd dog whom he had rescued in her 18th month in 1947. The story is told in such a minute way involving every detail of the canine bodily function: almost one third of the length was on urinating and defecating, remaining two third was mating detail -- for someone never have kept a pet before these too intimate informaton made me more than a little uncomfortable, ha, my bad. However the film is thoroughly enjoyable, the painting are beautiful and simple done by paperless system but retains a strong hand-drawn flavour, the odd and dry humour permeated through the film prevented it being ever oversentimental, and what counts the most, it touches that string deep in our hearts that in this overcrowded and lonely world, all we need is love, wherever we can find it.

Quotes:

Unable to love each other, the English turn naturally to dogs.

It seems to me, both touching and strange, that she should find the world so wonderful.

Whatever blunders I may have commited in my management of my animal's life, she lived on to the great age of sixteen and half. I was a bit drained in spirit when Tulip came into my hands, and the fifteen years she lived with me turned into the happiest of my life. She entered my life when I was quite over 50, and she entirely transformed it. She offered me what I have never found in my life with humans, constant single-hearted incorruptable uncritical devotion, which it is in the nature of dogs to offer. She placed herself entirely under my control. Looking at her sometimes in her later years, I used to think that the ideal friend whom I no longer wanted, perhaps never wanted, would have the mind of my Tulip. Always at one's service through the devotion of a faithful and uncritical beast, are not all human contacts based upon one person's wish to claim the affairs of another? Everyone it seemes wishs everyone else different from what they are.

What strained and anxious lives dogs must lead, so emotionally involved in the world of human, whose affections they strive endlessly to secure, whose authority they are expected unquestioningly to obey, and whose mind they can never do more than imperfectly reach and comprehend. Stupidly loved, stupidly hated, acquired without thought, reared and rules wihtout understanding, passed on or 'put to sleep' without care, did they, I wondered, these descendants of the creatures who, thousands of years ago in the primeval forests, laid siege to the heart of man, took him under their protection, tried to tame him, and failed...did they suffer from headaches?

明明是美國制造，卻制造得一派英倫風(fēng)情，手繪彩的風(fēng)格簡單隨意，倒是襯出這部片子的樸素動人來。

我們習(xí)慣了日本人的細(xì)膩，卻忘了其實英國人也很擅長寫“小事”，當(dāng)年一部《導(dǎo)盲犬小Q》賺進(jìn)無數(shù)淚水，這部改編自英國小說的老人與狗卻是一派千帆閱盡后的風(fēng)輕云淡，自嘲，嘲人，最后是一點點的溫暖，是老年人的知足常樂。

開頭一句已經(jīng)道盡人世：英國人不會愛人，所以都愛養(yǎng)狗。是典型的英國式自嘲。

一個年過五十的鰥夫，收養(yǎng)了一只不宜馴養(yǎng)的小狗Tulip，自由散漫的老人對狗沒有約束力，Tulip便個性無比，尷尬無奈不足為道。在數(shù)次受到獸醫(yī)的嘲諷后，他終于遇到了一位有經(jīng)驗的獸醫(yī)女士，也是第一次，因為Tulip的胡鬧打罵了她。老太太說，把狗給我。他交出繩索，老太太牽著它進(jìn)了診室。一會兒，她出來，他奇異于狗異乎尋常的安靜。她說：沒關(guān)系，你的狗性格很好，她是這樣的愛你，所以在你在的時候，總是很強烈地想守衛(wèi)你，僅此而已。

還是女性了解女性啊。

終身未婚的老人，和Tulip的關(guān)系，其實有點像情人，又有點像父女。因為像情人所以對她寵溺放縱，因為像父女又希望女兒盡快找到婆家，包辦婚姻忙不亦樂乎，在無數(shù)次配種失敗后，卻 突然發(fā)現(xiàn)女兒已經(jīng)有了對象……

又是一部旁白主導(dǎo)的片子，又或者說它原本就是文學(xué)改編，只是用畫面把著作的美展示出來而已。旁白的配音很好，講故事就是這樣，不是詩歌朗誦慷慨激昂的，像一位老人在緩慢述說著自己的故事。畫風(fēng)是簡陋的，線條潦草，色彩簡單，確也是沒有必要精細(xì)。

最值得一提的是配樂，簡簡單單的鋼琴如影隨形，人生之路走到暮年本就蕭索寡淡，這片做得克制，做得散漫，配合內(nèi)容剛剛好。
