The film party advises that you can only watch it at the age of twelve, but I do n’t think you can understand it at the age of twenty.

The adopted boy is not the one who loves dogs the most. He is a bond of command and loyalty to dogs. When he saw the four dogs on the island, he ordered the four dogs, militaristic songs, and picking up sticks. (The four dogs do not include the leader, the leader said separately.)
The names of the four dogs are also very interesting. They are called boss, duke, king, and monarch, each of which symbolizes nobility.

The Little Boy Bomb has the same name as the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb, and the Five Fingers Island resembles a map of Hiroshima.
When the plane crashed to Dog Island, a large mushroom cloud gave a complete shot, just like the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
This picture is not the mushroom cloud that crashed. I can't find a screenshot of the mushroom cloud.
But there were two atomic bombs at the beginning, so. .
So the little boy who survived the disaster symbolized reform, the former mayor symbolized totalitarianism, and the American exchange student symbolized the United States fighting for freedom and truth. This is very American.
The little boy talked about looking for a dog on Dog Island, but every day he listened to radio, read newspapers, played militarist music, and paid close attention to politics.
Stuck in a trash island, I finally came back. When I only spoke once, I didn't forget to confess to the beautiful American female reporter.
When he finally came to power, he did not know what to do with the United States.

Everyone thinks that the little boy is a legendary young samurai. Actually he is not. He is just a small politician who has been in the mayor's residence since he was a child and received political education and training.
The mayor finally rebelled and fought with the butler, because the mayor is the legendary young samurai who betrayed his family. Because he still has love in his heart.
One of the most ironic details of the movie is the haiku, or poem, when the little boy speaks.
The little boy sublimated his love through haiku, which impressed everyone.
So I held my breath and listened carefully to this haiku, but I didn’t expect it to be not only very short,
And it's very empty.
This satirizes the hypocrisy of politicians, using love and chicken soup to generate electricity to impress the audience.
Just like the boss in the top player pretending to be a fan of the game, it is a tactic used by politicians.
The whole movie is full of such political games and methods, but I think this is the most ironic.
Because, compared to the little boy's command, control, and management of the dog, the mayor gave up everything only because of "love." The mayor was moved by the empty haiku, not because he couldn't understand the boy's methods, but because the mayor had love in his heart.

The little boy has succeeded in reforming, and what he symbolizes from beginning to end is the political faction and system. Love has no factions, but politics has factions.
The little boy dog party took office, barking and scolding the dog for 30 days of community service and a fine of 250,000 yen. This is a strategy game to win over politics and win over the people.
The so-called politician is to win over more people.

Legend has it that the dog was originally free and unaffiliated. However, it was captured and rescued by the young samurai, so there was a faction, which obeyed the command, ruled, dominated and managed.
Look at that dog, it looks like a human being.

In the end, the dog did not regain his freedom. It just supports and follows the leaders who protect their rights and interests. The political struggle is endless.
The cat party went out to the wild and ended badly. The cat was the dog that used to be. In short, someone will always be oppressed.
In a few years, I can make a sequel, Cat Island.

Only the language of the dog is translated into English in the movie. You can understand dog language and watch movies from a dog's perspective.
Because you are the group of dogs that are dominated, managed, and politically contested.

Dogs all hope to have a master, unconditionally obey and trust the master, and talk about the best food the master has eaten for themselves.
The protagonist leader is a stray dog at first. This symbolizes people's social attributes, class attributes, and servility.
Stray dogs bite people because they are afraid of being loved, pessimistic, and do not believe in love. But in the end it also had its own faction and master, and bit off the hand of a political lobbyist lightly.
It doesn't like to fight, but it still becomes a thug.

Nothing has changed, except that the upper class has changed a person in power and a set of policies.
In the name of love, in the name of the people, this is a totalitarian replacement.
The little boy is like a tyranny.
The position of the mayor is inherited by the mayor’s successor according to the law.
Hackers poisoned soldiers with mustard poison,
The new guard dog, the leader of the protagonist, has his teeth changed to bombs, and it is still an upgraded version.
The guard dog almost bit off the hand of the political lobbyist
During the cabinet meeting, someone suggested to shoot the dog as long as he scolded the dog. The little boy said it was too much, so it should be changed to fines and community service.
The same tyranny.
These all symbolize a new round of military and totalitarianism.
Nothing has changed, just a change of ruler. Dog, still dog.
The little boy heard that his dog was dead, and immediately prepared to return. (Note: order the other four dogs to help him repair the plane, but return alone)
He didn't care about the fate of dogs, he had feelings for his guard dog at best. As I said at the beginning, a dog is more of a bond of loyalty than love to him.
Looking back now, is the little boy really just looking for his dog? Yeah? Isn't it? Who knows.

If there are film critics who don't understand politics at all, and only lament that they love dogs, then they can really be closed, and the level of business is too poor.
Why do you want to say this, because I took one off. . .
But then again, I personally don't like this kind of movie theme that uses cats and dogs as political metaphors, because I really love dogs, and dogs are the only thing that can heal me.
Moreover, this movie is not friendly to the general audience, and a large number of people will have a psychological gap. Why did I see such a story when I came to see a cute dog.
What the movie advertises about dog love, live up to the public, and so on, it’s completely misplaced.
However, despite this, I still have to admit that the quality of this movie is really super high.
Whether it's the cast or the fineness of the production, so many sets, so rich and meticulous.
And the film art and creativity are excellent, and the stop motion animation and colors are really top-notch. Whether you love this story or not, as long as you like art, creativity or design, you must watch this movie.
The film is extremely scary, endless aftertaste, full of irony and humanistic ideas, and has elements of fairy tale adventure, the pattern is very high, and the story is very complicated.
Whether it’s a volcano or a ruin, the reality is like the garbage island and the city in the movie.
And we are all dogs.
