Some metaphors about class disputes and other details that are easily overlooked in "Canis Island"

Just watched my favorite director Wes Anderson’s new film "Canis Island" and sorted out some thoughts.

1. The scene when the actor (Atari) crashed on the garbage island by plane and when the rescue plane crashed is very reminiscent of the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, especially the first atomic bomb. It's called "little boy". In addition, we don't know about the metaphorical relationship between in vivo experiments and "mustard gas" and mustard poison. 2. After Professor Watanabe was murdered, the female assistant named Ono Yoko (Ono Yoko). (Reminiscent of the shooting of Yoko Ono’s husband, John Lennon) 3. Members of the Trash Island Brothers Gang, King, Rex, Duke, Boss, and Chief are all knighthoods in the "Chinese Order". Equivalent to Gonghou Bozinan. 4. Perhaps because Rex, who is the most pro-democracy, is also the most loyal, we see that democratic decision-making is ultimately used to safeguard the ruling class. (In addition, I think that Rex adopted by teachers actually represents intellectuals, while King, who has repeatedly endorsed dog food advertisements, represents celebrities and celebrities. Rex’s favorite food is dog food endorsed by King. The dogs said, “Let’s listen Let’s talk about King! He has more say as an endorsement." King’s favorite is steak. Celebrity endorsement products have a celebrity effect, but they are still consumed by ordinary people. In the final analysis, celebrity endorsement products are not in the end. Representing the choice of stars.) 5. When Chief introduced his past, he said, “I have many brothers and sisters, but they drowned all of them.” 6. The leader of the student uprising looks immature in all aspects Foreign exchange students. It is reminiscent that many improvements in Japan originally originated from "learning foreign countries" (this is of course the same in China). 7. Therefore, the mayor's reason for suppressing them is that "overseas forces have joined forces to threaten our country's regime." Is this familiar? 8. The only thing that can really defeat the mechanical dog is the military modified tooth bomb: the only thing that can fight against the weapon is the weapon, even if the unarmed people gather, they can only kill with their necks. 9. At the beginning, Nutmeg clearly expressed his dislike of his performance as a dog, disgusted with performance, and showed indifferent rumors about himself and his partner, insisted on refusing to give birth to cubs, although he also said, "But even if I am a performance dog, now What's the difference?" But then the situation got better. Not only did she return to her master, but she also learned a new performance, and was willing to show it to the Chief. Her attitude towards the production of offspring also eased a lot. To be honest, this really reminds me of many radical feminists’ attitudes towards sex, marriage, offspring and pleasing the opposite sex, as well as about the feminism proposed by Elina Sisu, who I like... 10. Although the mayor eventually After apologizing and stepping down, his successor was still his cousin. Although it seemed to be overthrown, the Kobayashi dynasty eventually continued. In fact, he was nepotism like the previous mayor, and all key members were high school students who participated in the dog-loving movement together. And he doesn't care that Chief bites the minister. Isn't that ironic? 11. Perhaps the refugees will become the most loyal after being recruited. After all, no one is born to love to wander all the time. 12. "The people seem to love freedom, but in fact they just hate the master."-Tocqueville "The Old System and the Revolution"

Isle of Dogs quotes

  • Spots: That's highly confidential. Um, anyway, I'm not the mayor's accountant's dog. That's Butterscotch, and she got crushed in a glass compactor the day before yesterday. No, my duties are, uh, focused entirely on the protection of the mayor's ward, Atari. I'm not supposed to be his friend, but I love him very much, but that's a private matter. Um, the only reason I even said that was because we're all probably going to die out here and I'll never see him again.

  • Atari: [to Mayor Kobayashi, in Japanese] You took me in, like a stray dog.
