Life In Crimson

Just watched the movie Dog with Channing Tatum and ended up in tears. It’s a surprisingly emotional movie about a veteran man and a veteran dog “Lulu”, both traumatized and broken in different ways from their years of service in the Army Rangers. He is tasked with taking her to the funeral of her former handler, another ranger who ended up killing himself by driving his car into a tree. Somewhat predictably they begin to bond and heal together. What’s unexpected is how sincere and real it gets, and how it sneaks up on you. This happens mostly by watching the beautiful dog, her behavior, reactions, expressive face and her slowly learning to trust Tatum. It’s touted as a comedy, but at the very least it’s a dramedy with a great depth of genuine sentiment and respect for veterans, especially men and women who served and paid a steep price, both mentally and physically. It’s very much worth the watch, but be prepared to be affected.

Alright I’m going lose most of my “followers” but I’m blocking all of these blank accounts. Bye bye bots.
