Max

Empezamos semana nueva con una película que vi el pasado miércoles y que no estaba dentro de la lista. Se trata de Max. Una película sobre la lealtad y los animales, en especial un perro Max.

Max es un perro entrenado por el ejército para encontrar diferentes tipos de armas en la guerra con Oriente Medio. Durante una misión el equipo de rastreo es atacado y su adiestrador resulta muerto. El perro se vuelve indomable y agresivo tras esta experiencia y lo devuelven a los Estados Unidos. Justo antes de ser sacrificado lo llevan al entierro de su adiestrador donde conoce al hermano del mismo, la única persona a la que hora ha hecho caso en ese tiempo. Pese al repudio de su padre al enterarse de que por culpa de ese perro su hijo está muerte, el niño logrará que Max, el perro, vuelva ser leal y dócil e incluso salve a toda la familia de peligros que no se esperan.

Está bastante bien, y tiene ese punto dulce y entrañable de las películas en las que los protagonistas son los animales. Sin duda hay una escena que a cualquier amante de los animales le  parte el alma y es la del entierro. Una escena dura para los corazones sensibles. El contrapunto es el padre, que desde el minuto uno me parecía un capullo bastante idiota.

Le doy un 5,75.

Let’s start this week with a new movie. This one doesn’t come from my bucket list. It is a film about loyalty and animals, about Max, a dog.

Max is a dog trained by the army to find different kinds of weapons during the war against the East Orient. But when a group of soldiers were in a mission, they were attacked and its trainer was killed. After that, Max becomes angry and untamable so they decide to return it back to United States. Just before it was going to be sacrificed, some soldiers carry it to its trainer’s funeral when the brother of its trainer and Max meet. The dog seems to be the same again when it is next to him, so his family decides to keep it. However, the father was informed that his son is dead because of that dog, so he starts to want it out. What he doesn’t know is that he was cheated, and Max is going to save him and his family from many dangers and risks though.

The film is quite good, and it has a sweet touch. Some of these movies about animals have it. But there is one very very touching point, and it broke a piece of my heart, the funeral and when Max shows up. It is harsh. On the other hand, I don’t like the role of the father. From the very first moment you notice that he is a completely asshole.

My score is 5,75 for this movie.
