Red Dog: True Blue

16DEC2019 {1/10 stars F} Recommend? No, this movie is a poor tribute to the memory of Red Dog.

The sequel to red dog. This ones about a dog.

I enjoyed this from start to finish. Following Jason Isaacs as he flashes back to the late 1960's when he was a young boy and was sent to live with his grandfather (Bryan Brown) -who I always like- at a remote western Australia cattle station.

I feel bad having to give only a five rating as the lead character was a young person who acted his heart out and did so well but the movie doesn't deserve a higher ranking. I would have enjoyed it ever so much more if it didn't have the feel of movie-making by numbers: we must have some homosexual characters, we must knock Christians (this time mission nuns), we must have mystical Aboriginals etc...

A charming friendship story, a love story, good acting, supernatural events, humor and magic and few sadness and the perfect end. A film for entire family, inspired by an Australian legend.

A father takes his two young sons to see Red Dog. After the movie he describes to his oldest son how Red Dog is based on the story of a dog he had as a boy - Blue.

Good family movie and sad at the end....................

I adored the original Red Dog. It was Aussie, spirited, funny, genuine, human and just a great movie.

The scene cuts in this were really strange, one of the first things I noticed. They just didn't seem to flow and made the movie feel choppy?
