[QUOTE="slackjawedyokel, post: 7937271, member: 34254"] You could make a similar film called Dog. Just imagine- the establishing scene a bunch of warm milky puppies all happy curled up with their mum or frolicking about with their siblings. Then inevitably one sad day a pup is wrenched away from its mum and siblings (closeups of their big sad eyes, closeup of folding money changing hands) and is taken off to a completely confusing place that even smells all wrong. The next half hour act covers the next few days and particularly the nights, as our young hero cries and whimpers for his lost family and is forced to conform to the life of his new ‘family’. In the following half hour act there are moments of joy (frolicking in the park, the remains of Sunday lunch), but the focus is on fear and boredom. Our hero waits and waits and waits (big eyes, sad face) for its owner to come home from work. He lies, terrified on the floor of the vet’s waiting room because he knows ‘something nasty’ is about to happen to him. The last act is the real tearjerker. The ‘family’ has bought insurance, so when our hero starts to feel poorly he’s subjected to many, varying, bewildering and painful sessions at the vets, before his pain is finally at an end. Of course, the impact of such a film would be lessened in anyone that had actually had a pet dog in their life, but I bet it would convert a few impressionable teenagers into thinking dog ownership was a relentlessly cruel pastime.
