The end of Gut-Punche

Spoilers of a good boy in the future.

Good It is a new concept in this haunted type-it is fully listened from the dog’s point of view, and it has got an amazingly moving development in its tail, sorry, a story. Participated in writing and directed by Bin Leonberg, who is also the owner of the star Pro Indi in real life, and he tells the story of Todd (Shin Jensen), a man who suffers from a serious illness that has not been named, takes his dog to live with him in the home of his late grandfather in the country. But there are strange things going on this old farm, and you only liked the best friend warnings.

When Good Boy was first shown in SXSW earlier this year, it was a surprise to the festival, as one of the critics went to Dub Indy, Retriever Duck Duck Nova Scotia, as “one of the most emotional actors of his generation.” These praise have been armed equally and expected to Lyonberg. He says: “Consider, and I can’t say this enough,” Indy has no idea that he is in a movie. In the movie it seems to have passed through the crossbar, but in reality he wanders in the mud that spends time in his life. “

For the first time, Leonberg struck the idea of ​​filming a horror movie from a dog perspective after watching evil spiritAnd play with the idea of ​​animals that pick up mysterious powers in front of humans. He participated in his writing with Alex Cannon and participated in his production by Lionberg’s wife, Carrie Fischer, the film was filmed over and around the New Jersey farm. Fisher and Lionberg moved to the house during that time, as Indy was tending to his era in Hollywov by demanding a King’s size in the guest room between taking. “We were essential that he was mainly trailer,” says Fisher. (During our Zoom interview, Indy sits on a comfortable giant bed between the spouses.)

in GoodIndoye investigates strange noise and ghost appearances in the distant country house. His eyes follow things that may be or not across the room and tend his head in the voices of the strange, as he tries to understand what led to the death of the grandfather of Todd (Larry Viceden) – was it a supernatural force for a dark nature? – And what happened to the dog of the beloved man, who has not been unprecedented since then.

Fisher and Lionberg convinced Indy’s performance themselves. “It is clear that Indy has no official training,” says Fischer. “It is just our dog! So we were thinking every day, How will we do X, Y or Z?“

“If you make a ridiculous sound outside the camera,” Leonberg explains, “He will interact with the tilt of the head, and if you remove what we already say to him and add an audio design for the propaganda, it seems as if it was a groundboard that has been spent, and there was a ghost calling for that-it seems that there is something calling for the cell-there is something that calls for the cell-working for some of the pivotal scenes. The 19 -inch camera is set from the ground, with most high human faces above, partially withheld.

Register in 73 minutes, Good It never goes beyond her welcome, and it seems that the tours of their climax when it seems that a black ghost character was chasing Indi in a wonderful way, withdrawing Todd to hell. We know that it has ended to want more worse, when it appears, defeated, covered in the Ghul’s Ghul, face to face with Indi. Leonberg shines when I ask him exactly what this dark external is. “I am very happy because you asked, because this is very exciting for me!” He says. “I actually play you like in this scene. So I, the head, to the soles of the feet in liquefied clay. It is a landscape product called soil liquid, which is a really rich black fertilizer and mixed dirt together. Carrie then had to destroy me with a spoon and had to get its strength for 30 minutes.” And it is remembered that Indy does not face a problem in launching 20 to capture this scene; He was happy to stand in clay.

Andi fights to the end of his owner, but shortly before the transfer of Todd to the underworld, I announce the tears of Indy: “You are a good dog, but you cannot save me.” This plateau line reveals the true nature of this film-it does not relate to the ghoul that chases a house and demands its latest victim, but exploring what you understand about animals about death and how it can interact when their beloved owner dies from a terminal illness.

“The big picture is that all ghost stories are essentially about the idea of ​​deaths. I thought, Many of us learn about death and death through our pets, because they do not live as long as we have, but how will it be if the shoe is on the other foot, if the animal will test the ghost of death? It comes to innocence of our total animals, and how the love we feel for our pets are very uncomplicated. “

After the death of Todd, the last scene of the movie, Indi, appears, besieged, in a cellar, apparently, he was appointed to the same fate of Dogo the old grandfather in front of him. Fortunately, Todd’s sister, Vera (Ariel Friedman), discovers and release free, inspired by the last moments of Texas massacre in the sawLeonberg says. “Part of writing a haunted home story is somewhat similar to a journey of two surfaces where we are always looking for another intimidation, and another way for the audience to take their breath, so it is exciting until the last minute.

It is assumed that the audience has been riot other than that. “Yes, we were also aware of that!” He says. Thirsty lovers from DOSTHDOGDIE The site can rest easily.

Stardom has become easy since then-it has already been recognized several times on the street since the movie appeared, and he had a few wonderful scratches from his fiery fans-but he is already thinking of retirement. (“A dietary advertisement for dogs may be in Super Bowl, or something like that,” Leonberg Half-Jokes.) But this may not be the end of the Indy story. “I am very enthusiastic about perspective and how it can reach the story of the stories,” says Leonberg. “I definitely have ideas for Good boy 2. I have a lot to say and more, definitely. “It will be a welcome return besides the bark.
