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

What I have observed is that chief and alpha dogs accompany Kobayashi on the way to find the Prophet Dog. The dogs discuss their favorite foods. The chief said that I didn't actually...then the camera turned to the other side, and the second half of the sentence was not heard. I was very eager to ask at the time: "What are you talking about? Why didn't you finish?" The other four dogs immediately questioned me, and the chief said: Actually, I don't always eat garbage. The director really led the audience on the path of being a dog, and I felt that he had silently accepted it. It is everyone's responsibility to care for single dogs.

I feel that the relationship between the chief and the other four dogs has always been very delicate. He is obviously the most independent and firm, but he is often suppressed by democratic votes. If the theme of the film is to discuss independence and centralization, then the chief is the real male pig's feet.

    Astounding work and aesthetic completion, it would be inappropriate to deduct points because some of the metaphors are too obvious and too embarrassing.

    The form has reached the extreme of the director's aesthetic style, but the content is not as good as before. It is a bit rigid and weak in emotional strength. Sacrificing the story for the theme, the first feeling is not full of pleasure after reading it. The eyes are very oriental, and the bones are not oriental at all. It is still the Hollywood consuming exotic style, which talks about the stereotyped values ​​of the old white man. Even if we talk about a serious political allegorical theme, where the protagonist is a dog, it still fails to get rid of the human perspective.
