A dog's purpose? |
I saw an ad for this last week. I will definitely see this movie |
I was planning on seeing it with a big box of tissue but after all the controversy now I'm not sure. |
I think I will be reading the book instead. I was SO looking forward to seeing it..... it's a bit ruined for me now. Hopefully this will send a message to the industry. |
I still saw it!! It was a GREAT movie. Tearjerker! I cried like a baby. The controversy was insanely dumb and had ulterior motives by none other than PETA of course. :rolleyes: This article provides another perspective.

Oh no, it was that big a heart tugger? Was it the same for you watching my dog spot or Marley and Me? |

There was so much controversy with a clip that was released by TMZ on dog abuse that I decided I will not watch it. For those who haven't seen the clip, this article references it: The “animal abuse” in A Dog’s Purpose doesn’t look much like abuse Hot Air The makers of the movie obviously defends themselves. But regardless, I found that clip very hard to watch. :( Here are some Twitter feeds by some celebrities on the clip: Celebrities Calls to Boycott Universal Pictures' 'A Dog's Purpose' | PETA |
Can they find anywhere a dog was actually injured filming this? |
I have no idea. Ellen DeGeneres brought up the point where, it's kind of odd that they didn't leak this clip until the week before the movie release. There are arguments to both sides of the story... I won't ever know what goes on behind the scenes. I guess, I just don't want to watch it. It's like going to the circus believing that the animals aren't poked at with sticks. Have you watched that movie Water for Elephants? It got me so teary. |

Isn't PETA the organization that "rescues" dogs from people and then kills them? I have not seen the video but I have seen videos of horrific abuse, i.e., the dog festival in China and other things that I wish I could forget. I am in no way saying what happened is OK, but on the "abuse" scale, this will not make me lose sleep as other cases have. This whole thing seems to me to be motivated by something other than genuine concern for the welfare of the animals. If the person who shot the video was really concerned about the animal why did they wait 15 months to release it? I can tell you why. It is worth more money now. I am glad the video came out. Hopefully someone will be held accountable and any future abuse, small or large, will be stopped before it happens. But if this is the worst thing that happened in what was probably hundreds of hours of filming with animals, I will still go see this movie. JMO. |
I'm going to see it tomorrow |
