#Canis Island???

"What's the matter?

our best friend?

Wither like cherry blossoms?"

As a stop-motion animation with few lines

A believer in film aesthetics as Wes Anderson

나야나??‍♀️

Every frame is full of WA's exquisite personal color

?A clever little humor in the storyline

? Tasteful drum soundtrack

The Gospel of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Absolute Symmetry of the Picture

?Planar vision: horizontal, vertical displacement and jerky push mirror

?Clean and atmospheric arrangement art (Knolling) and candy colors full of fantasy and childlike innocence

The may be a mountain that cannot be climbed. However, "Canis Island" reflects Nagasaki, the student movement, and various unique political metaphors of hereditary system, and hides the thinking of history and humanities in the picture of a fairy tale book. The director and screenwriter's familiarity with Japanese culture is really amazing! WA no Then stick to the story theme of love and growth.

"This is the child abuse." Rex's sentence also highlights that the entire film's position is based on dogs rather than humans, and it is dogs who choose to protect people. Chief finally succeeded Spots as the little boy Atari's guard dog partly out of love, partly out of mutual need for tameness. In a powerful society, dogs are still no longer an independent and free race.

Not being able to speak Japanese will affect the comprehension of the story, but that's what the director wants. The subtitles only translate the English dialogue, because only the dog language is translated into English because of the setting of the story, and the director only needs the audience to be the part of the story that the parties and dogs need to understand. There is no simultaneous translation of the human language in the story. How would you know.

Finally, the voiceovers that I love

Edward Norton?Scarlett Johansson?

He absolutely maintained the illusion of that world with a remarkable grace

He certainly sustained the illusion with a marvelous grace.

    The form has reached the extreme of the director's aesthetic style, but the content is not as good as before. It is a bit rigid and weak in emotional strength. Sacrificing the story for the theme, the first feeling is not full of pleasure after reading it. The eyes are very oriental, and the bones are not oriental at all. It is still the Hollywood consuming exotic style, which talks about the stereotyped values ​​of the old white man. Even if we talk about a serious political allegorical theme, where the protagonist is a dog, it still fails to get rid of the human perspective.

    Very touching, Wang Xingren is really loyal by nature, and the little boy is also touching.
