I ve studied philosophy and I grew up and love dogs, but this film is neither intellectual nor deep in it's metaphorical message. This is ´Lady and the Tramp´ crossed with ´Planet of the Apes´ and a stupid mainstream revenge movie, flat and dull (even if you see it as a non-realistic, metaphorical film). Sorry, this one is a beguiler. It pretends to be clever and intellectual but it is just flat and stupid Kitsch.
