pretty bold of wes anderson to make a film about how propaganda is bad while simultaneously inserting blatant anti-cat propaganda throughout said film 🤔
The world is trash, and Wes Anderson is currently enjoying the hottest streak of his career. These things, it turns out, are not unrelated. The worse things get, the more fantastical Anderson’s films become; the more fantastical Anderson’s films become, the better their style articulates his underlying sincerity. Disorder fuels his imagination, and the staggeringly well-crafted “Isle of Dogs” is nothing if not Anderson’s most imaginative film to date.
There’s a whiff of inevitability to that. Whether telling a story about a splintered New York dynasty or one about a faded European hotel where it used to be possible to find some faint glimmers of civilization in this barbaric slaughterhouse known as humanity, Anderson has always been attuned to the…

I grew up with a family dog. That, of course, involves responsibility. Walking Louie before school was a necessity, and he wouldn't let me leave without feeding him a treat. I had to pull him away from smells he found too intriguing (meaning he sniffed them for more than thirty seconds), and tighten my grip on his leash when the neighborhood Chihuahua was outside by the garage. Louie hated him, for reasons I'll never know why. I'm sure he had a good reason, or at least I hope. A family dog also involves great joy. Immeasurable, pure, angelic joy. Joy so bright and true, it can move mountains. I remember when Louie peed on the carpet after a jump-scare…
easily my least favorite wes anderson movie in the last decade, maybe he’s finally on the decline
this is still cute enough and fun enough to enjoy, i love the symmetry and the snappiness and i still smiled a lot, but the story and it’s characters and it’s dialogue feel spaced out and disconnected (it probably has something to do with the fact that half or so of the entire cast speak words that aren’t translated, leaving a gap at it’s core. some people might enjoy that disconnect, but i personally don’t) compared to the tightly wound and spring loaded films he’s put out in recent years, i can’t help but feel an emptiness here, like grasping for straws. that’s what i get for having high hopes maybe, but i’m glad some people are having fun with this
종횡(縱橫)의 움직임과 색채, 질감으로 홀리는 동화. 또는 순수한 취향.
웨스 앤더슨의 미장센은 정교함과 완벽함을 기반으로 둔다. 한땀 한땀 색채를 다채롭게 구현하되 화면 구도에 있어서는 한치의 오차도 허용하지 않는다. 카메라는 대각선으로 움직이는 법이 거의 없고 고정되어 있거나 종횡의 움직임이 주를 이룬다. 카메라의 동선과 위치, 방향을 선으로 그려본다면 거의 직각을 이룬다. 배우들의 동선도 대부분 직선이다. 그래서 웨스 앤더슨의 영화는 입체적이기보다 평면적인 느낌이 화면에서 강하게 묻어나는데 화려한 그림책을 보는 듯한 독특한 효과가 난다. 취향의 극단을 보여주는 웨스 앤더슨이 관객을 홀리는 마법은 이러한 익숙한 향수를 자극하는 데에 있다.
<개들의 섬>도 일본 문화가 결합된 독특한 미장센을 보여주고 있음에도 불구하고 편안하게 볼 수 있는 것은 이것에 기인한다. 스톱모션 애니메이션이지만 만화적인 느낌을 최대화시켜 동화의 향수를 자극한다. 이 영화의 유머는 블랙코미디이고 절묘한 타이밍에 끼어드는 방식인데 독특한 리듬감을 만든다.…
The stop-motion animation here is absolutely beautiful. Great visual storytelling in the Japanese scenes as well, Anderson manages to translate well enough that subtitles aren't needed except when voiceover is provided. The story is heartwarming and engaging all the way through, made even better by the incredible voicework by essentially the whole cast, but Cranston and the gang of dogs, in particular, stand out as truly great, but with such a long list of stars it's hard to be too far ahead of everyone else.
Ilha dos Cachorros (Isle of Dogs, 2018)
Tudo envolvendo os cães é cativante, as vozes que dublam dão personalidade aos bichos, afinal, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Greta Gerwig e etc, já são vozes famosas, o que acaba criando uma maior intimidade nossa com aqueles animais, coisa que já estava sendo construída também pelo agradável visual deles, todos são ''fofos'' e presentes, é harmonioso.
Em um estilo limitado, essa animação conseguiu trazer uma estética deslumbrante, pois vibra conforme sua atmosfera, que traz um mundo distópico com um alto grau de engajamento, nós ficamos intrigados para saber mais daquele universo e sinceramente, não sei se essa história funcionaria se fosse mostrada de outra maneira.
Habitando por fora da aventura principal, o núcleo dos asiáticos malvados estereotipados é desestimulante, sorte que, ainda sim, o foco fica para o outro cerne da história, o que acaba segurando nossa atenção.
Só o Wes Anderson para fazer eu gostar tanto de um stop motion.
Isle of Dogs (2018)
Isle of Dogs is an animated film directed by Wes Anderson and I hate to say this but I really feel like it was one of Wes Anderson’s weaker films. I mean there were aspects of this film that were excellent but at the same time I feel like there were some flaws that I just can’t overlook regardless. First off, I feel like Wes Anderson’s style really gets in the way of this film. Each scene in this film is presented in such a surface level way and what I mean by that is how his style prevents each scene from delving deeper emotionally. This film definitely could have had some more emotional scenes but…
Funny, gorgeous and charming to its core. An engaging watch for kids, couples and film sophisticates alike. Wes does it again.
