Unconditional love
I knew what was going to happen, and I tried my best to be emotionally prepare for this movie. In hindsight, I wish I brought some tissue instead of using my cardigan as a snort cloth. I blogged about the book “Marley & Me” about two years back, so you can imagine how excited i was when they announced the production of the movie.
If you love dogs, or had a dog that has past, this movie will definitely tug on your heart strings. Till today, I still miss Flicka very much.
Still on the movie, I heard a beautiful BEAUTIFUL rendition of a Kurt Cobain song “Lithium” redone by this guy called Bruce Lash. Had to get it. I’ve uploaded it onto my playlist on the right for you to listen to.
You heard it here first.
angela, you might want to watch 10 promises to my dog.

confirm that you will like the show a lot.
@sehsuan
Ok, will look for it at the video store
Don’t you ever have this fear of watching books you love turn into movies?
I know I do, almost always leave the cinema feeling somewhat dis-satisfied (is there such a word?)
I read and loved Marley & Me but worry that the movie will leave me short changed….
Will hence resolutely refuse to watch it. Until I do =P
Strange but some say than only GOD and DOG can give you unconditional love.
i can be your snort cloth anytime.
i read marley & me 3 times, and every single time, i cried like a baby. I caught it in the cinemas, and whaddayaknow… i cried like a baby. i’m sure flicka is somewhere in doggie heaven, thankful that he was and is loved by you and your family.
@ean
I worry about that sometimes too, but if you don’t watch it, you’ll never know. For me, when i read a book, i visualise everything in my head, and with the movie, i’d like to make a comparison and see if it’s similar.
@Bernice
I heard alot of sniffles in the cinema last night.
@Shawn
interesting….
@derrick
so you’ll lend me your shoulder to snort on!? HAhah wonderful.
At this point of time, i still refuse to watch it because i do not want to cry like a baby infront of my gf inside a cinema.
cry baby leh.. so you didn’t join bikeasia this time?..
Yeah, i caught it over the weekend & ended up crying too.. I know that feeling of how no matter how naughty my bunnies can get, i’d never give up hope on them.
On another note, i think the book’s better than the movie adaptation (which’s usually the case anyway), though i do love the movie! Try watching ‘Helen the Baby Fox’ too, it’ll break your heart into smithereens =x
Flicka’s happy & safe in doggy heaven now, don’t be sad *hug*
One of my dog got ran over by a car :~~~
Gah. I’m waiting for the DVD to come out before I watch it. I think I’d be bawling.
I really cannot imagine the day when I will be without Scout.
hi there! not sure if you remember but this is your old sec sch saxophone junior here, popped by through dl’s sister’s blog.
It’s been so long!
I watched the movie last night and needless to say, my friend and i ended up weeping and i was on the verge was wailing outloud! *red*
@Yoyong
was in a quad team. Shame about the rain.
i did
@Cass
THanks for the recommendation. I seriously think there’s nothing wrong with crying watching a movie. Just means you have a greater capacity to feel an emote. It’s horrible containing all those emotions…i’d rather let it out.
@Kuen
omg, that’s terrible
@Jo-Ann
i think you better be prepared… its a hard movie to watch. i think especially for you,.
I’m going to make a pass. I watched Eight below and literally sobbed on the plane and sad ending is not going to digest well for my soul since my dog passed away when I was still in Perth, sigh. Anyhow, on a separate note babe, may ia sk whihc camera are you using babe? I’m trying to decide between Canon powershot and Canon Ixus.. just don’t really know the difference and which is better~
hi angela, i know u r going thru a hard time right now, with the breakup n all. but can u pls shed some light on why u two broke up? i know its personnal, but the rest of the male population of singapore need to know what went wrong so that we won’t make the same mistake if one of us will ever be so lucky as to be your next man.
IMO the film was really insincere. Read the book. Skip the film.
@Derrick… Dude… its really none of our business
I saw this a while ago and thought about your post. you may have seen it before, but I love this story.
