It's a dog's utopia. Look at those bad guys. They all keep cats. Only by experiencing the days of having a master can you understand the feeling of being loved. Freedom is inseparable, so create your own world with the love of your master. Look at those little masters who are charging ahead, the purest heart of love has created a dream.
I especially like this awkward form. I feel the same way. The local language is preserved, and some have not been translated, but I can understand it just by looking at the movements. The whole film is like a news broadcast, allowing the audience to witness the history together. As always, Wes's Universiade was used on the lens, which is magical and fantastic, and the effect is excellent. The elevator that goes up and down, the big vision of the omniscient perspective, and the switching of the frontal close-up are too directorial. Even in the animation, the style is well displayed on the camera. The advantage of using the rich imagination has covered the shortcomings of the unrefined lens and presented a good visual effect.
The adults in Weiss's writings are as naive as children, and they can't even tolerate dogs. They think about killing them all, which may be to repay the sorrow of their ancestors. On the contrary, children are brave and resourceful, dare to resist authority, have their own perspectives, and are not assimilated and brainwashed. The strong contrast between childish adults and mature children creates an excellent sense of conflict. Weiss' concept that only the righteous children are the leaders is the real dream utopia.
I really like the music. The Japanese-style music is used to drive the atmosphere of the audience. The tight drum beats and traditional music add to the feeling of fantasy and compound. Completely different Eastern and Western cultures are intertwined, mutually respected and driven, and harmonious coexistence. Maybe it also brought some American selfishness, such as the simultaneous interpreter who was watching the whole process, and the little American girl who led the resistance movement. Looking at the changes in society from the perspective of the United States, there will be different findings. The rules of finding dots on the island are the most romantic and true, and popping up with a pack of dogs during an election speech is the most "American dream", and the last-minute rescue is carried out to the end.
There are a lot of romantic lines. The gentle words of the leader and the cardamom made people feel heartbroken. "When are you thinking about having a baby?" "I'll tell you when we get to know you." "I might bite." "I don't like docile dogs anyway." A clear show of love, but between the lines is friendship. The leader ate the first dog biscuit in his life, and he immediately felt the warmth of the owner, "This is my favorite food." The anthropomorphism of the dogs is quite vivid, such as voting in the form of disagreement, which will definitely live up to the expectations of the owner and be loyal to the end. In the eyes of the villains, they are mad dogs and vicious dogs, but they are kind and gentle, never bullying the weak, and they are brave enough to take responsibility in the face of danger. Dreams will have the most beautiful ending, just let the dream not wake up.
"If you ever get a chance to meet a dog named Cardamom please tell her,"
"See you in Xiqi City."
