Isle of Dogs

So does the director really want everyone to understand the movie?

The movie as a whole has the feeling of Noh drama, an audio-visual feast.

The images of the housekeeper, the mayor, the adopted son, and the hacker are all very facial expressions. With the prologue and rhythmic drum beats, and then seeing the faces of the characters, I think of Noh masks every minute.

The tone of the film is relatively depressing, and people watching the power politics passed down from generation to generation are very uncomfortable.

Finally, I don't...

Canis Island

Few of the characters in the entire movie, villain or decent, are perfect.

Mayor Kobayashi is loved by the public. He is good at controlling people's minds, even trying to be dictatorial and oppressive. The complete image of the ruler is shaped.

Exchange student Tracy, I never thought she was a dog. When I knew Cardamom was her dog, I knew she was wearing a mask. I don't think any dog ​​lover would train his dog to be a show...

Canis Island

Watching Canis Island is also an accident. I have heard of it, but I haven't seen it in the cinema. I watched it by chance, which is still interesting. If you think of the movie as an American-Japanese hybrid, the proportion of Japanese blood will definitely be above 75%. The art style of the whole movie, the soundtrack, and the temperament of the main characters are all very Japanese-style aesthetics. I think some parts are really borrowed from Japanese traditional literature and...

freeze-frame satire

It has created a semi-empty world, using dogs as a political means, and achieving political goals through some measures against dogs. The story tells that the dogs were tricked by politicians, infected with the flu, and isolated on an island by the politicians. Then, in order to win the election, the politicians launched a final blow to wipe out all the dogs on the island. And a boy, in order to find his beloved dog, came to Canis Island, thus opening the story of...

Both stop-motion and Wes are my loves, but still terrified. Such excellent art is built on such a dualistic value core, and the final outcome is terrifying. Even if it is used as a political metaphor, the ruling power is hereditary, and the dog is in the upper position and the cat is imprisoned, which makes people feel a hundred thousand ghosts. And it is still promoting the human-centered arrogant ideology of "a dog's obedience and loyalty are the conditions for becoming a friend of mankind",...

Numerous metaphors, fascism, hegemony of public opinion, brainwashing... It's meaningful in terms of style, but the form is bigger than the content. It is a metaphor for such a huge amount of information, but it is too shallow in the depth of the plot. Whether it's the boy's "forced buying and selling" or the villain's "instant whitewashing", it's just frustrating. The contradictions and conflicts make people feel soft, and the audience can't feel too much warmth and hope. Thoughtful, but only...
