Disregarding the bonuses of feelings and personal preferences, it is a bit against the heart to call it a god, but it is well-deserved to be rated as a super masterpiece. The performances and play stalks are wonderful and infinite, and the story unfolds smoothly and ends smoothly for the whole family.

The theme of the film is still to discuss love and responsibility. Although it contains a lot of Japanese political and cultural elements, it is not too ambitious and pretending to be deep. The whole story does not go astray. It can be very satisfying and happy to watch, and there is no problem with bringing children into the theater to watch. But if it stops there, then the upper limit is also a masterpiece, but the director, after all, has filmed Wes Anderson, without any violation of the Japanese political culture. Elements are mixed into the performances and pictures with strong personal style, and the audience who have a little understanding of Japanese culture cunningly and constantly "scratch the itch". Most of the audience in the movie hall are adult audiences, even many middle-aged and elderly people, sometimes laughing and sometimes shocked by the various Japanese "features" in the film. What needs to be emphasized is that what this film incorporates is not just simple popular Japanese entertainment and cultural elements, it is not the American Japanese style of San Francisco in , but it is refined by onlookers through cold observation and thinking. Serious Japanese political and cultural ecology. The genius Wes boldly did not subtitle all the Japanese subtitles, and let the audience's natural self be the protagonist of the film: the English-speaking (Chinese?) dogs and the English-speaking exchange student, the identity of the American girl, observed from the perspective of an onlooker This fantasy world is full of half-understood foreign languages.

For viewers who have a little understanding of Japanese history and culture, after watching the movie, they may not be able to help but think about it. After all, Wes literally put thousands of years of Japanese stalks into a warm conversation: mythology, religion, Bushido, extreme collectivism , the west wind is spreading eastward, political brainwashing, war, atomic bombs, biochemical experiments, American occupation and transformation, democratic elections, family and chaebol politics, student movement, nuclear leaks, this pot of chaos has made Japanese culture fans unbearable. Think back to all the wonderful metaphors in the film, even a second brush.

After watching the film, many people felt that the film was mixed with too many political elements, and it was not like a fairy tale like Father Fox. Some people felt that Wes's political drama was still incomplete, and it did not expose the ugly finishing touch of reality. But I think this is Wes Anderson's wit. The essence of Canis Island is still a warm fairy tale. No matter how realistic the elements are, it is impossible to sublimate to the height of a political movie in a 100-minute stop-motion animation. I simply treat this film as a Japanese sketch. As for what the smart audience can see from the painting, I leave it to the audience themselves.

    Forever 12-year-old boy. The film still maintains the cuteness, stunned and childlike innocence of Wes Anderson's works. At the same time, this Japanese movie and culture that pays a lot of tribute is also very interesting. Wes Anderson's work is really powerful in the comedy rhythm. Some iconic Wei-style pauses can always bring a very unique comedy effect.

    Purely mechanical movement with no emotion at all. The back of each dog seems to be engraved with a capital indifference, carrying on blank thinking and babbling beautiful nonsense.
