A Dog Named Gucci (2015) Reviews
A stellar and inspirational film. Highly recommended.
A Dog Named Gucci was a STELLAR film. Contrary to what one may imagine it to be, it was not a movie just flooding you with sob stories of animal abuse, leaving you feeling angry and hopeless. This film did a fantastic job offering solutions, and depicting actions that have been taken by individual average citizens to make crucial improvements in animal cruelty legislation (or lack there of). This film reminds viewers why they should not ignore animal cruelty cases and feel hopeless, that they are not powerless, that they can make an imperative difference in the lives of suffering animals if they pay attention and do something. The film illustrates several things that people can choose to do, that are virtually effortless, and have proved to be the catalyst in creating laws to protect animals from suffering, torture, neglect and abuse nationwide. I hope people give this film a shot! It is ultimately very positive and inspiring!
Beautiful Testament to Man's Best Friend
"A Dog Named Gucci" left many in tears with its poignant story. But to the filmmaker's credit, it was far from manipulating. Director Gorman Bechard was also one that was more interested in an awareness campaign rather than taking the easy route of inflammatory cinema. The "Gucci Bill" changed the laws in Alabama turning animal cruelty into a felony, and starting a wondrous domino effect throughout the nation. Gucci was a ten week old puppy that was hung by its neck, beaten repeatedly and then set afire. Somehow this pup survived, and his savior and new owner, Doug James, fought not only for his life, but for all other animals in his state. Where many could have focused on the cruelty and the perpetrator, Bechard chooses to highlight the fight against such viciousness, the happiness and companionship that blossoms, and the bureaucratic struggles to achieve what is right. It's a wonderful and beautiful testament to Gucci, his owner, and all other animals and the people that care for them. If all that was not enough, Bechard encourages us to stay through the entire credits delivering absorbing anecdotes, information on how to combat animal cruelty, and an absolutely compassionate song that makes one want to go out and purchase it immediately. This review is taken in part from my article, "Highlights from the 15th Annual Phoenix Film Festival" at The Movie Guys.
Inspiration and motivation driven
I was at A Dog Named Gucci in Youngstown, Ohio tonight..I am a administrator for Nitro's Ohio Army. As I was driving to see this movie tonight all emotions I had felt fighting for the passage of Nitro's Law came rushing into my head. The wound was open again. The hurt the pain the tears the hate I was remembering. Calling-emailing-writing legislators. The nights that some of us stayed up and posted on every newspaper every News Channel that possibly by chance animal lovers would read about Nitro's story and why Ohio needed better laws in Ohio. I ate, drank and breathed Nitro's Bill. After watching your movie I felt the fight again coming on. A stronger will to fight for better laws for animals. The movie reminded me why I had started and that I would never stop. My belly was filled with butterflies and I knew what I was doing was right and to keep fighting! Thank You for such a wonderful movie..It was full of inspiration and sent out the message of motivation. Don't ever stop reminding people what is happening in the real world!
A film that proves that one person can make a difference
Not just the story of a dog named Gucci, but the story of individuals who refused to stand by when animal abuse occurred, refused to accept that the animal abuse laws were non-existent or merely useless, and decided to make a difference. People were crying in the theater at points but,ultimately, this is an inspiring story about Gucci the Rock Star and the positive changes individuals can make when they put their minds to it and refuse to accept the status quo. Every state in this country now has felony animal cruelty laws but they can all stand to be improved and strengthened. Hopefully, A Dog Named Gucci will inspire people to approach their legislators and demand even stronger laws to protect companion and other animals in this country. World Premiere, 2/14/2015, Missoula, Montana.
A Very Powerful, Inspiring and Emotional Movie
I got involved in fighting for more protections for our companion animals after learning about the story of Ohio's Nitro approximately 6 years ago... I truly felt the pain and frustration as each story was chronicled, especially that of Doug James in his 6 year ordeal in trying to get Gucci's Law passed, as it took Liz and Nitro's Ohio Army 5 years to get the language of Nitro's Law made of part of the Ohio Revised Code... A Dog Named Gucci was very well done, not showing a bunch of gruesome, horrific images, but only enough to show how each dog was affected by the abuse they endured... The film takes you through a myriad of emotions, an 84 minute roller coaster ride from laughing and smiling to tears streaming down your face from both feeling the pain that has been inflicted upon the dogs and their owners / rescuers to tears of triumphant joy... A Dog Named Gucci clearly sends a message that we all have the ability to Speak Up. Step Up. Do Something. whether that be as simple as sharing a Facebook page or writing, calling, emailing or visiting your legislators... This film renewed my energy and let me know that what I have been doing and continue to so is worthwhile and there is still very much to do to change laws in an attempt to deter the atrocities committed against our furry family members... The FBI gets that animal abuse leads to further human aggression, why can't our legislators understand this. Why is it so difficult, in the State of Ohio to get any bill animal related passed? Regardless of the frustrations and anger I feel towards this legislative body, I will continue to fight for our companion animals and do my part to try to make this world a better place... Thank you Gorman for visiting this topic, which is so near and dear to my heart and is my passion. After speaking with you in person, I know it is your passion as well...
