Excellent, Without a doubt!!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Isle of Dogs is exactly what you would expect from Wes Anderson at this point: childhood whimsy and fun mixed with some darker themes and moments. The film is another one of his stop-motion movies, after the excellent Fantastic Mr. Fox in 2009.The good news is that this film is just, if not more, visually striking. Wes' level of detail, in everything from the backgrounds the fur of the protagonists, is amazing. The dialogue, characters and story are top-noch as ever...even if they're a tad predictable by this point.The star-studded cast (including Bryan Cranston, Scarlett, Johansson, Ed Norton, Jeff Golblum, Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, etc.) does a fantastic job, as do the lesser-known actors The soundtrack is fantastic, nearly all of it consists of Taiko percussion. However, this also leads into a criticism that may be minor or major, depending on how woke you consider yourself to be.I'll get right to the point: the film is guilty of using Japanese stereotypes. Atari saves the day with the power of a haiku. Kobayashi changes his mind over the fact that "he has no honor". It's not exactly nuanced, nor is it justifiable. However it doesn't come across as malicious or even intentional either. It doesn't ruin the movie, but it is worth mentioning.Other than that, the only other 'real' criticism is the movie isn't as laugh-out-loud funny as Fantastic Mr. Fox. But that doesn't bother me. Besides, it's less funny because there are less jokes, not because the jokes aren't funny.On the whole, Isle of Dogs is a fantastic, if slightly insensitive, movie that anyone who loves great independent films should watch.
I mean gow could you not love edward nortans charecter rex or chief this film is so uniqe and good i reccomend
Amazing stop motion, amazing soundtrack and amazing storyline that depicts the Japanese culture. So many dogs but no shiba inu? Maybe some Asian should watch this film and learn to love dogs, not eat them.
I love Wes Anderson. In Isle of Dogs he delivers signature moves that make his work so good - compelling story, carefully detailed and visually entertaining planimetric shots, deadpan humor... but... the depiction of Japanese culture made me uncomfortable. I'm no expert on cultural sensitivity but I am not sure the depiction of Japanese culture was respectful here.
