Isle of Dogs is
an animation created not to stir up any form of emotions, because the movie
itself has no emotional depth. It’s also not supposed to make you think or
plant any form of controversial view. The movie is a fictional idea that, at
one point, dogs were at war with cat people.
Since everything in the above paragraph is true, why was this movie so
depressingly boring and annoying? It stirred up emotions that weren’t supposed
to be there. I’ve seen animations I didn’t like and movies I’d rather forget
about, but nothing like this.
I just can’t understand what the whole idea of making this movie was about.
Isle of Dogs is
a 2018 stop-motion animated comedy film written, produced, and directed by Wes
Anderson. Set in a dystopian near-future Japan, the movie depicts dogs as a
breed of animals who communicate with each other in a form of human democracy.
These dogs, at one point in the past, grew and expanded to become man’s best
friend all over the world.
Then, these cat people also came into existence. They hate dogs and were ready
to do anything to get rid of them. So, they waged war on the dogs to eradicate them.
When the time came, they struck. They released a disease into the atmosphere, blamed it on the dogs by making them the carriers, and used this to gather support. They then decided to capture all the dogs and drop them on an island—a waste dumping ground—so they could finally be rid of them.
The plot is so
stupid I can’t believe a studio greenlit this. But they did, and the movie was
made. I can bet you that if you do get to see this, there’s a high possibility
you’ll be as unhappy as I am now after watching it.
Is there anything good to say about the movie? I keep asking myself.
The only positive thing I can say is that you might not even notice when you
fall asleep and the movie ends.
Take your time
to go catch other movies at the cinema. This one is a waste of money.
