The inspiration for Wes Anderson's "Canis Island" was Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. The film refers to Kurosawa’s many movies that show crime and corruption in the 1960s, such as "Drunken Angel", "Wild Dog", "Heaven and Hell" and "Bad Man Sweet Dreams", etc., in the film Kobayashi City The long image is created based on Toshiro Mifune, who has starred in many films of Akira Kurosawa.
"Island of Dogs" also draws on Ozu Yasujiro's head-up lens and the symmetrical layout of the characters.
The film’s production design, Paul Harold, revealed that the set of the garbage island in the film was influenced by the works of photographers Edward Burtinsky and Chris Jordon, who have always been concerned about environmental protection themes.
In order to play a good role, Bill Murray eats according to the dog's habits, eating dry food and canned food in the bag for several days.
The film was screened at the Berlin Film Festival as the opening film. This is the first time in the history of the Berlin Film Festival that an animated film has been selected as the opening film.

#Berlin2018# The end credits must be in 3D, I suspect that a 2D version was forcibly placed, and the image trailing is very serious. The relatively windy juvenile adventure story, especially the Japanese style, won the essence of Ukiyo painting style. The typical zootopia-style discourse of identity politics (although it is a cat and dog war), the structure is innovative, the subtitles of the subtitle cards are all uplifting, the writing of people is not as good as that of animals, and the ending collapses directly. But it's fun

It's not a masterpiece in anticipation, but it's still the works of Anderson that are above the standard and can not be put down, especially the technical aspects of Anderson's scheduling and photographic music. The main problem may lie in the drama, the constantly jumping timeline and storyline, the mix and match of different film types, and it is particularly politicized, which relatively weakens the strength and emotional thickness of the theme, and 100 minutes seems particularly rushed. Overall inferior to Daddy Fox.
