Domination has not changed!

"Isle of Dogs" Kindness and abuse are nothing more than expressions of domination! From the perspective of man's best friend dog, it tells a story of seemingly oppression and struggle. The genius director Wes Anderson's use of the loyal dog as the protagonist of the story itself is full of irony. As said at the beginning of the film, dogs were originally free species, and their domestication into pets was the consequence of their failure to fight against humans. The unruly and freedom-seeking Chief finally put on the earphones that only belong to guard dogs without hesitation; Spots, who was loyal to his duties but abandoned, ended up being supported after fighting; His adopted son donated a kidney, and he was not punished by any other; Atari, who seemed to be affectionate and righteous to dogs, was full of cold arrogance and arbitrariness in his dealings with dogs, and finally proclaimed that the one who did not love dogs would suffer. The decree of punishment is really dumbfounding. The seemingly happy ending is actually tragic and tragic. The only thing that changes is who rules you, and the thing that rules has never changed! 8 points! ps: The whole film has a strong Japanese cultural atmosphere, and it is interesting that there are no subtitles in Japanese throughout the whole film, and the overall look and feel is excellent!
