What are the easy-to-miss details of "Canis Island"?

One detail that I feel is very powerful is that after Spots proposed independence, the little boy immediately fed the biscuits he saved to other dogs... Before Spots was found, Chief was only divided into half.

At the end, Spots did not die but the little boy built a temple statue for it and put it under house arrest. The Chief, who has always emphasized his independence, finally became a guard dog willingly. Nutmeg, who was unwilling to be a performance dog, learned new moves and foreign students put it on. Kimono. cool.

    It's a politically strong one in the Wes movie, which mainly revolves around politicians, student movements, and groups of dogs fighting against oppression. But Wes is still not suitable for this theme, the story direction is a bit difficult to evaluate. His biggest advantage is his unconstrained brain power. For example, this time he focused on language and subtitles. The American audience will watch this film from a dog's perspective, and the Japanese audience will be from a human perspective. This is really interesting.

    I have always liked Wes Anderson's painting style, full of childishness and imagination; but this dog-hunting story is cold and does not feel the emotional temperature at all. Maybe the director is busy adding oriental elements and political metaphors, the form and content are separated. The East in the eyes of Westerners is always a pile of foreign elements...

Isle of Dogs quotes

  • Spots: I've become the leader of a group of outcasts that depend on me for their survival, and I'm going to be a father. With deepest sadness and humility, I must ask you to relieve me of the duties of my position, effective immediately.

    Chief: You son of a bitch! If we don't drown, I'm gonna strangle you myself. I don't care how many exploding teeth you try to spit out at me. Do you have any idea what that little pilot just went through to try to rescue you? How dare you?

    Jupiter: Ten centuries ago, before the Age of Obedience, free dogs roamed at liberty, marking their territory. Seeking to extend its dominion, the cat-loving Kobayashi Dynasty declared war and descended in force upon the unwary four-legged beasts. On the eve of total canine annihilation, a child warrior sympathetic to the plight of the besieged underdog dogs, betrayed his species, beheaded the head of the head of the Kobayashi clan, and pledged his sword with the following battle-cry haiku. I turn my back - on man-kind! He would later be known as the Boy Samurai of Legend, RIP. At the end of the bloody dog wars the vanquished mongrels became powerless house-pets: tamed, mastered, scorned. But they survived and multiplied. The Kobayashis, however, never forgave their conquered foe.
