After watching it I decided I still like it
The tone, soundtrack, and shot scheduling are still the familiar Webster formula.
There are also fine details that I will always like, such as the sushi making process, such as the garbage bag opened from a top-down perspective, such as the Ukiyo-e human-dog battle. When such small but delicate scenes appear, it feels like opening a dizzying jewelry bag satisfy
But the field lights come on
sxr and I looked at each other
I always thought there was something "weird"
This inconsistency
We had a discussion on the subway
I think it mainly comes from the role of chief
As one of the few stray dogs on the island
chief is always a rebel for the first half of the film
He is proud of his homeless identity and even used I bite after meeting the little pilot atari to emphasise his freedom to not give in
But all of a sudden atari threw a stick
say pick it up
chief says no
Atari said to pick it up again
Chief stopped for a while and convinced himself that he actually picked it up
In the end, the chief came back with a stick in his mouth and Atari squatted down and said "good boy" (this sentence sounds humiliating to the audience.
For no reason, the identity construction before the chief collapsed
What makes this turn even more abrupt is that
Before this, the audience did not feel the warmth between humans and dogs
All Atari commands are top-down commands
"sit!" "fetch!" That's all
He's not even calm like a child
And all the warm moments of helping the chief take a bath, giving the chief biscuits and sleeping together happened after the chief picked up the stick and couldn't make any explanation for the action of fetch.
Compared with the relationship between humans and dogs, we see more of the confrontation between humans and dogs. If we have to say that the relationship is also the relationship between the ruler and the ruled, it is not true.
so? Is it irony?
