Canis Island People's Heart

If I hadn't known that the director was Wesson Anderson, I would have thought it was a film made by a native Japanese director. He has an amazing understanding of all aspects of Japan, and the style is cute, humorous, and political. Completely Wesson's style from top to bottom, front to back, inside and out

There are a few points that impress me:

❶Chief said "I don't know why I bite him" How can a dog not like to be loved? They pursue love, represent love, discover love, and fall into love is just a self-prevention mechanism, so life can't rest assured and try boldly. He lacks love, so he is afraid that love will be fleeting.

❷Two cherry blossoms falling from the face of cardamom? Chief watched her not choose to blow her away but romantically let it continue to live happily with the present

❸Dr Watanabe's rebellion against public power He promised to develop a serum for canine distemper He succeeded but was conspicuously "killed" that piece of sushi was poisonous I believe he knew but he chose to use his own death to warn people that they need to wake up

❹Atari said to all these efforts, the dogs on the island said "except for this twelve-year-old boy, the other owners have not made any contribution" He hijacked the plane and flew over and was injured step by step to find the belongings own Spots

This movie makes people happy and heart-wrenching. Every point can be found in life to confirm who we really are. How should we handle the relationship between living things? Anyway, human beings are not gods, we are just a kind of living beings It would be ignorant to be the master of nature

    The Japanese Communist Taiko version of the propaganda film. Dog slaves bring their own tissues.

    Still the familiar Wes Anderson. My favorite thing is that I didn’t simply let the dog speak human words, but at the beginning, I used subtitles to explain that "dog barks are all translated into English", and then I didn’t understand Japanese without subtitles. I experienced the dog’s perspective.

  • [Mayor Kobayashi speaking in Japanese as Simul-Translate Machine translates]

    Simul-Translate Machine: As you know, we all hate dogs. Chairman Fujimoto-san, President of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical. You secretly introduced mega-quantities of infected fleas and contagious tick-larvae into a metropolitan city center, creating an unprecedented animal disease outbreak. Thank you.

    [applause]

    Simul-Translate Machine: General Yamatachi-san, Commander of the Megasaki Municipal Task Force. You oversaw the deportation of over 750,000 caged-animals to a nearly uninhabitable offshore refuse center. Good work.

    [applause]

    Simul-Translate Machine: Supervisor Kitano-san, Director of Kobayashi Robotics. You developed the most promising artificial life-form in the history of corporate technology and a powerful new weapon, to boot. Well done.

    [applause]

    Simul-Translate Machine: Yakuza Nakamura-san, Head of the Clenched-Fist Gang. You eliminated all Pro-Dog opposition through the use of bribery, extortion, intimidation, and violent force. My compliments.

    [applause]

    Simul-Translate Machine: Brains have been washed. Wheels have been greased. Fear has been mongered. Now we prepare for the final stage of our conspiracy theory: the permanent end to the Canine Saturation Crisis.

  • [Two packs of feral dogs growling at each other over a garbage bag potentially containing food]

    Rex: Wait a second. Before we attack each other and tear ourselves to shreds like a pack of maniacs, let's just open the sack first and see what's actually in it. It might not even be worth the trouble.

    Igor: Alright.

    Rex: A rancid apple core, two worm-eaten banana peels, a moldy rice cake, a dried-up pickle, tin of sardine bones, a pile of broken egg-shells, an old smushed-up rotten gizzard with maggots all over it...

    Chief: Okay, it's worth it.

    [All dogs proceed to fight]
