In the film we can appreciate what would be the simultaneous reincarnation of a little dog better known as Barrey which from a philosophical point of view wonders what is the reason for living, changing his answer for each life that passes depending on how it passes this same, a film that brings with it that emotional sensitivity that easily manages to transmit to the audience making it impossible for those sentimental people to leave without shedding a single tear to feel that characteristic empathy. In itself, almost all the owners in the multiple lives of the animal are going through complicated situations of loneliness in which it accompanies them until their last breath showing the fidelity that can radiate a pet to its owner. It shows us the main story of a boy who at his young age is allowed to adopt a puppy that turns out to do a lot of mischief thus seeing life in a very funny way but changing and doubting this response as it grows.
In my opinion this work is given to understand very well what it wants to convey and there are some parts that really leave you thinking emitting that insatiable doubt that can be caused, despite being a film that was released a long time ago I assure that it is worth taking that moment to remember that film that marked the childhood of many, including me. After all, it was a resounding success all over the world, being a public in 29 different countries at its launch and ending up translated into 20 languages including English, Spanish, French, among many more. A film released in 2012 and that today we should continue to remember as one of the many successes in the world of cinema and revealing that it was based on a novel released years ago that the author himself claims this, thus gaining popularity to the point of quickly selling over a million copies in the United States. For my part I would have liked it to last a little longer as they speed up the time repeatedly making it a little difficult to process all the information and because I would believe that this topic can give material for many future scenarios that would be great to get to see.
I would recommend watching it as a family or in any other environment because it is a film that tends to unite bonds and give a good life lesson to the little ones. Finally, the ending is simply sublime and teaches us a moral that is worth taking into account.
