re: the dog


Weird question for those who've seen it.

Does the dog die/get seriously injured?
I've a hard time handling that and would like to know before I go to the cinema.
Lately most films I've seen with dogs in them had this play out.

Nope. He commits a heinous crime himself, though (you'll see).

He gets put in THE SHED. Hard to watch. Fortunately it was only implied.

2016 was a bad year for dogs in cinema.

The dog is a total *beep* I wouldn't mind it if they ended up killing it and the wife cooked it.

A dog like that will get dog-jacked, my G.

Gives me something to look forward to.

If only he had known why the *beep* gonna do by the end of the week, he probably would have thrown it in front of the car. 
Hate on it!

Thanks for posting the question. I really like to know up front if there is any animal violence, won't go. Still not sure if this movie passes the test.

reply

No there's not, thankfully. I was worried too art one point.

I know, you feel like a total tool for having to ask what appears to be such a stupid question, but I have had to ask/research the same thing in the past few years, as it seems to be normal now to have any pet in any movie die graphically and horrifically.

Revenge is a dish that best goes stale.

The dog's name is Marvin. Marvin is one of the most delightful characters in the film and steals numerous scenes! In fact, you know how they say that owner's begin to resemble their dogs and vice versa. I saw a parallel between Paterson and his dog. They were both not terribly attractive and posessed low energy. They were also great listeners and observers of human behavior. Paterson would quietly observe passenger conversations on his bus, while at home it was Marvin who was always listening to the conversation between Paterson and his girl friend.

Only on imdb...😂

Yup would be kind of pointless asking in a forum about African cast-iron cookware.
And yes we all die, but dogs dying are infinitely more sad since they're simply a better kind of people.

reply

No, they are not. You can see the movie and find out.

The dog had a nice life I thought.

I liked the scene where he went and tipped (slightly) the mailbox, seemingly on purpose. LOL.

When Paterson came home each day he'd straighten the mailbox, a temporary fix.
