"Lulu and Briggs" is the story of ranger Jackson Briggs, who finds solace in the unexpected company of a Belgian Malinois named Lulu. Jackson Briggs was an optimistic man who, despite hardships, injuries and health problems, never felt sorry for himself. Work gave him purpose and, more importantly, kept his thoughts from wandering into the dark shadows of the past. Perhaps this helped Briggs not to notice the emptiness in him, because he may have known that those wounds had left him with indelible scars.
Channing Tatum not only plays the main character, Jackson Briggs, but he also co-directs the film with Reed Caroline. It's amazing how sometimes you can say so much without saying a word. Jackson Briggs had no idea that his life would be changed by a dog. He met Lulu by chance. He realized that he was not the only one suffering from the effects of war. Here was this traumatized, four-legged symbol of perseverance and loyalty who had given his all. Lulu was desperate, as was Briggs, and both didn't know what to do.
Explanation of the end of Lulu and Briggs - Jackson Briggs keeps Lulu? How does it end?
Jackson Briggs knew only one way to manage his life: stay in the game. He didn't know how to end his misery. When he talks to Noah, he discovers that his dog Nyuke was once unhealthy too, just like Lulu. But over time, she became so stable that they were able to entrust their children to Nyuke. There was only one condition to this: they had to forget the turbulent past and unlearn what was inherently connected to the urges. Noah suggested that talking to a friend or therapist might help them get through it. But Jackson Briggs was too tense for that, and asking for help was associated with weakness. He also disdains the alternatives Noah offers. There was a kind of paranoia, an unease that showed on Jackson's face as soon as people started talking about his inconsolable self. He felt vulnerable and often tried to get out of the situation. He attended the funeral with Lulu and then went to the military installation to deliver the dog. That's when she changed her mind. I didn't feel right about giving her up. He comes back and takes Lulu with him. He filed for legal custody and eventually got it.
Lulu and Jackson Briggs were similar in many ways. Jackson Briggs was going through a trauma and a health problem. He had become estranged from his family, his wife and his son. He didn't believe he had a life outside the military. He didn't believe that contentment and fulfillment were concepts for him. But communication with Lulu changed his perspective. Briggs was not a great speaker. Expressing his feelings was foreign to him. But he wrote a poem for Lulu. He found an ally who went through the same ordeal. Somewhere along the line, they understood each other and bridged those open cracks that they thought would consume them completely.
