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.

    The Japanese Communist Taiko version of the propaganda film. Dog slaves bring their own tissues.

    Still the familiar Wes Anderson. My favorite thing is that I didn’t simply let the dog speak human words, but at the beginning, I used subtitles to explain that "dog barks are all translated into English", and then I didn’t understand Japanese without subtitles. I experienced the dog’s perspective.

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.
