Don't expect the kind of human and dog feelings of the loyal dog Hachiko

To be honest, it's a bit bland to say I really don't like it very much. But I quite admire Wes Anderson, his most famous "The Grand Budapest Hotel", the plot is not very exciting, but his personal style is very strong. Most of the things that can be called art must have their own set of things that can justify themselves. Symmetrical composition, saturated colors, are his characteristics. No one has his own style of brushwork, photography, or narrative, and there may be slight changes before and after, but that's personal characteristics. I also recognize that I have innovated things that I often use.

Inujima uses a set of Japanese culture, similar to the story background introduction and shrine of Ukiyo-e, and there is still a style in it. However, I feel that this is purely a personal opinion, and the story is not very exciting. Dogs and people, my expectation is Hachiko, a loyal dog. Even if it is not, there must be something touching. It's a very bland story. The struggle between cats and dogs has continued into modern times. The Dog Hunt has gone through some hardships and exposed conspiracies.

Maybe expect too much, but also want a unique style of film, but also want the perfect script. The style is still very interesting and full of cold humor. The wrong dog brand, the arrogant puppy who performed, the leader who was not domesticated at first, all kinds of cold contrasts. interesting. The unique style of painting, the characters are like stop-motion comics, moving and moving, not so smooth, but interesting. are the highlights of this movie.

Political meaning, can an American student, a little boy who rebelled against his adoptive father, represent more political meaning? against power? What I think is too hasty is the change of being a mayor. When Mao Mao gets off his body, he becomes an old father full of guilt. There was no foundation for this change. One second ago, he was mobilizing for a comprehensive dog eradication, and then he was fighting with the housekeeper. A little bug. It's an okay, okay movie with a good style.

    It’s far worse than the fox father. I want to engage in a "political metaphor" with such a playful style, and I still use a foreign culture that I am not familiar with. The end result is Orientalism with its appearance but completely wrong core + self-inflicted humiliation. (From the film, most of the dogs are 㹴 dogs native to the United Kingdom, but you can’t see a Shiba Inu or Akita.

    These days, there are really not many directors who conscientiously use movies to weave dreams for the audience.
