The movie “Best In Show” highlights the fact that in order to be happy, one must come out on top of all endeavors. The dog owners scramble to pamper, and make thier dogs beautiful before the final pagent. Throughout the movie, all five dog show enthusiasts go through countless episodes of stress, trauma, denial, and hardships. Through their perception, the dog owners only way of achieving happiness is to win the show. This however shouldnt be the only way that they feel happiness. It may make sense that only by winning, can these people truely attain happiness. but this theory is disproved at the end of the film. by the end of the movie, when of course only one dog wins, all other dog groomers feel unhappy, but cant help but feel happy for the dog that wins. Just by being able to be in the pageant and going through all those hardships, the other owners are engulfed by a sense of relief.
happiness should be constitued by the ability to be able to do what one loves. all these dog groomers were able to do what they love and groom the dogs. Weather they won or not didnt matter to them. they felt happy nontheless of winning because they were able to enjoy just from the experience
