Featured reviews
We all want to be loved and want to stay together with our loved ones. We can strain our every nerve to secure our dear ones. But everyone's life is not a fairy tale. Sometimes the 'ONE' whom we believe and love most can turn traitor or betray us and rides roughshod over our feelings. The shattered, broken soul then hunts for peace and support and when two distress soul comes together, they pull well with one another and becomes perfect. We can taste the whole essence in the award-winning film "The Salty Sea Dog".
The story begins with a perfect blush and a beautiful smile on the face of the leading lady when she discovers her pregnancy. She wants to let her husband know about this special news in a romantic way. But the Creator wrote something different for her. All her merriment nipped in the bud after her sudden miscarriage. The poor lady was quite at sea and her pain doubled after realizing her partner's betrayal. Being extremely downhearted she flies in the face of the deep sea. She was about to die until a dog saved her life. This new life makes the lady more daring, courageous and independent. The duo (the lady and the dog) starts a new life together.
The term 'Salty Dog' comes from the archaic practice of rubbing salt into the coat of one's favorite dog as a flea repellent. Therefore, one's 'salty dog' is one's favorite person, best friend, and so on. So, from the film title itself, director Murad Abiyev has proved his creativity. It's really boring enough when you have directors who play it safe and make the same kind of films over and over again. In this case, Murad Abiyev already has made his own identity. The story is the soul of the film and injects much energy and freshness into every character. The leading lady Natavan Hajiyeva succeeds in breathing as much life as possible into her character with her charm, personality, and sincere portrayal. And the last but not the least, the dog was extremely adorable and also surprised us by his/her innocent acting. Camera work and cinematography is brilliant.
It is bad enough when a stranger or foe betrays us, but it is worse when someone we believe to be a close and trusted backstabs us. It feels like we are left in disbelief and unbelievable pain. But it is the drastic truth of life which we can't change. Two lonely souls can create a perfect relationship with trust, affection, love, and care. "The Salty Sea Dog" is the perfect reflection of that.
