Togo
Man. Haven't watched anything that hit me that hard in a while. Not exactly a tear-jerker, just... gave me chills. Realized I’m heading back to school in less than a week, though. That part actually got to me.
It’s a beautiful movie. Just focuses on that bond between a dog and his person. That kind of loyalty is hard to put into words... often stronger than what you see between two people. You've got Togo, the owner, and the team racing through hell to get serum to save kids. They ran harder and through worse conditions than anyone, but they didn't even make the headlines because they weren't the ones who delivered the final shipment. Only the team that finished the job got the glory, even though there were 20 teams involved in the operation. Says a lot about the media back then, and honestly, not much has changed today. The scenery was gorgeous, too.
There’s plenty of stuff that feels totally unrealistic and dumb, which annoyed me more than usual. Especially since it's based on a true story. The ending is relatively happy, but those last 10 minutes... you'll be sitting there with goosebumps. The best part is definitely the actual photo of the owner and the dog from 1925. It's worth the watch. Most of the silly inaccuracies won't even matter once the core story takes over.
Dog and man. Beyond words.
