I was so shocked when I realized
"Isle of Dogs" is pronounced exactly like "I Love Dogs"
wow. that just blew my mind.
Isle of You
That’s a stretch
My last name is literally Kobayashi. I thought this movie was fantastic and did the culture justice
all worth it for that princess bride reference
Thank you for that! I really wanted to sit down and write about how I thought it was just fine. This movie is probably one of the easiest movies to translate into other languages; the Japanese text and dialogue would be preserved, and all of the English dialogue (dog and translator characters) would be dubbed for any other country. I think people just want to have an excuse to make an uproar about "cultural appropriation", a phrase that gets overused and misused a lot (not all the time, as there are instances where it's used correctly, but this is not one of them). I might still write about it sometime...
yeah its basically them trying to get attention
A common critcism is that, even though Wes is attempting to honour Japanese culture and Kurosawa’s filmography, the film relies on and perpetuates racist and orientalist stereotypes and caricatures, making the Japanese characters cold, inscrutable and unrelatable. Using stereotypes isn’t inherently bad practice, but the power dynamics between “the West and the East” means that there is an unbalanced portrayal of asians in film. The way he imbeds the meta elements into the actual film and animation (especially translations, like the digital simul-translate device) also limits the experience of non-English speaking viewers, and especially Japanese viewers (who often found the Japanese dialogue, which is not meant to be understood, muffled and distracting, as well as the onscreen Japanese text distracting, as well both groups speaking Japanese totally dismantling Wes’ use of language as a device), making it very anglocentric, primarily to be experienced from the english-speaking view. It makes me jump between the questions, what responsibilities to artists have in society? and how can we justify the potential real-world harm done by an artist’s expression? Ultimately, I think that the film is orientalist, regardless of intention, but that doesn’t mean Wes or the film are fundamentally bad or wrong, but a good jumping off point for a discussion about balanced representation in media.
Also, I loved it! It made me cry, but that doesn’t mean its not flawed, and criticising a film doesn’t always mean people are seeking attention.
I loved this movie. It made me laugh out loud and it had moments that genuinely moved me. And the comedic time of both the animation and line delivery is excellent. My fave but is when they fight over the bag of garbage.
"...ok it's worth it"
And I have a Dog! So extra love!
I'm half-Japanese and I'm really not offended by this??? IDK I enjoyed the film.
SAME
This is one of my favorite movies, by far. It’s so beautiful to look at, the voice actors are incredible, I love the Asian culture, and OH MY GOD THE SOUNDTRACK. Wes Anderson did a fantastic job on this, props to him.
Thank you for being the voice of reason. I was all ready to grab a pitchfork and go stick a whining bitch! I LOVE dogs! Mine passed away a while back and this movie gave me the über feels! My spouse is Japanese/American. Half the theatre was of Japanese descent (Hawaii). I studied Japanese performance and deeply respect the culture. But this wannabe crybaby stuff has GOT TO STOP!! This is a comedy that pokes lighthearted fun at a fictitious city and its evil cat-lovin mayor. This movie was amazing and the artists that created it - cast included - were phenomenal. So, yeah. Thanks for preventing me from landing in jail for life.
You should do a let me explain on a quiet place
SavgeGirl Lola he did
This movies brings me back to Fantastic Mr.Fox
Yeah, cause how does anyone not like Isle Of Dogs!!! Wes Anderson has done it again with beauty, great filmaking, and of course, fantastic animation. 5 out of 5 stars.
I freaking loved this movies and feel weirdly validated that it’s a high combo price
This movie should kept in the global seed bank in Norway . Along with Wes's other masterpieces
As an Indian guy were was this hate and disagreement when a British guy made a movie about how poor India is ( aka Slumdog Millionaire)
Aaditya Bhattacharya cos it was a book written by an Indian (or at least of Indian decent I can’t remember)
if it were released today slumdog millionaire would get A TON of hate
Olga Kholod It's kinda cheep don't u agree to emotional manipulate u to like a bland character with now specific personality.
Olga Kholod I am glad u enjoyed the film , I didn't
Olga Kholod yes I think the story was just Forest Gump & I fucking hate that film.
Danny boyle is very hit or miss for me but I appreciate that he always goes for it.
Saw it yesterday and this film is amazing!
I kinda wasn't paying attention until I heard you say "Kill Bill" and I was like "You'd better not say anything about my movie I'll cut you"
Isle of Dogs is great
I love isle of dogs
I loved this movie
can someone please explain to me why Spots cries when he says "I can hear you." No one has fucking asked or answered this question
MIND blown
yes i love this movie
fantastic mr fox is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you not want a dog? 🤣
Holy shit Mandela affect the princess bride line has always been “you keep using that word I don’t think you know what it means” but right here it says “ you keep using that word I do not think it means what you think it means” the Mandela effect is real Ku doods. Great video 👉
almost love dogs? wtf is wrong with you?!
i like this movie
Please do A Quiet Place
I thought it was cultural appriciation at its finestm
Ooooooooooooooh!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to be shook by dogs until this movie 🤧
People calling this movie cultural appropriation towards Japanese and overall Asian culture is like calling a film like Coco or any other Mexican/Latino culture based film cultural appropriation. In short it’s idiotic unless of course the film is blatantly making fun of the culture and the people or isn’t presenting them correctly.
Say, Isle of Dogs, at least six times, quickly and you'll see the purpose of this movie.
no one in Japan is offended lmao this is not oppressing anyone.
not gonna speak for japanese people but personally i cant get with the white girl with an afro and the black power fists. seems forced and just super unnecessary.
C
was listening to you until the part you said "don't really care about dogs"
wish I could retreat my view
Isle of dogs is great ,but fantastic mr fox was better imho
This explains nothing. Loved the film
It explains the film for those who haven’t seen it.
And rebuttals a question.
Loved it too
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed your video. But I was looking for a deeper explanation of some of the darker themes like, what if you replaced all the japanese with germans and the dogs with... you know what I mean. How does this film explore fascism and tyrannical autocracy?
I realise that's optimistic for a 3 minute clip lol
Two thumbs up for the Princess Bride quote :)
You literally give away the entire movie yet your whole angle is “should you watch this movie or not” why do people subscribe to you lmao
It’s not. It’s explaining why I gave it the rating I did.
Let Me Explain then what’s the point of your rating system telling people whether or not to stream the movies? I’m not going to watch a movie after I’ve learned all the plot. I feel like a quick “spoiler alert” before you get into the details like everyone else does would be helpful.
Cheesus Well you should know it says "Let me explain"
Cheesus His channel is literally "Let me Explain" meaning he's going to explain the whole movie....simple logic..
Jesus, Cheesus.
I love these videos! And obviously by mu picture I feel the same about my dog. Can you do atomic blonde?
I liked this movie a lot, I don’t understand the cultural appropriation angle, the movie’s intentions felt pure and honest
Not only that but they used authentic Japanese voice actors and had authentic culture used.
a common critcism is that, even though wes is attempting to honour japanese culture and kurosawa’s filmography, the film relies on and perpetuates racist and orientalist stereotypes and caricatures, making the japanese characters cold, inscrutable and unrelatable. using stereotypes isn’t inherently bad practice, but the power dynamics between “ the west and the east” means that there is an unbalanced portrayal of asians in film. the way he imbeds the meta elements into the actual film and animation (especially translations, like the digital simul-translate device) also limits the experience of non-english speaking viewers, and especially japanese viewers, making it very anglocentric, primarily to be experienced from the english-speaking view. it makes me jump between the questions, what responsibilities to artists have in society? and how can we justify the potential real-world harm done by an artist’s expression?
Also, I saw this movie with a middle-aged Japanese mother, and she loved the movie to pieces and was nothing but pleased with the film.

Wes Anderson has stated how much he appreciates the movies and style that come out of Japanese cinema. This seems like a huge homage.
Cultural Appreciation > Cultural Appropriation.
It sure killed me to know Kill Bill was pretty much Cultural Appropriation handled well; although I love Vol.1 better than Vol.2
what???
Olga Kholod I totally agree. Second part was good even with that twist. I honestly did like the second part that did cut corners (place the last two snakes or hitman in the same place), retell what happend in the church rehearsal but with more context , that live grave scene where she had to punch her way out of the ground. I also did like the element of actually using some of the run time to get her training with her sensei. It was good its just that pacing wasn't always there, (especially with the reveal and what follows after that) seemed a bit to slow for me.
Nonetheless I still enjoyed watching them back to back on early morning.
Thank you! Anderson has nothing but love and appreciation for the culture and it's cinema depicted in the film. Did Darjeeling Limited get any flack?
if it came out today it definitely would
Darjeeling Limited got some flack when it came out. For Darjeeling Limited the biggest discussion around it was that it simplified all of the Indian characters. That being said, the film was also about Westerner's forcing themselves in things they didn't belong and how tourists treat these places as sideshow attractions.
As a British Indian, I thought that Darjeeling Limited was fine, there were the attractions but the characters approached them in a curious sincere way. The Indian characters were slightly 2D in places but that is because it isn't from their viewpoint
“Some people are named José and I’m Mexican”
I didn’t hear any of the discorse around this movie before I saw it and I didn’t feel the cultural appropriation angle at all. I thought it oozes with art and culture in an interesting and respectful way.
People actually got mad because of a character's name? I enjoyed this movie it was nice.
Isle of Dogs was and is a great achievement in art and storytelling. It was a joy to watch.
Honestly, this movie was one of my favorites of the year, and I don’t get why people got offended
How the movie ties the animation with the music is enough reason to see this movie.
I just saw this movie today and you were right, it's absolutely delightful.
I watched both Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs and they're now one of my favorite movies
“Lost long brother”
I absolutely loved this movie
Duke's rumours are the best part.
Nah the preview in the theatre for some reason freaked me out like a lot
Loved it! I saw a short documentary on how the stop action motion was done. Made me appreciate the movie even more.
I loved it! I thought your review was spot on. Thanks!
I loved the movie as well, and am honestly surprised people saw it as appropriation.
Boy!!!! You are a success, almost no dislikes!!!
I honetly loved the movie, but I really hated Tracey (the American girl character). I felt that it made absolutely no sense for her to be American in a movie where allllll of the other characters were either Japanese or translated barking. Just weird and unnecessary. Plus, the character herself was pretty underwhelming, both in performance and in writing.
Well she did translate Atari’s speech at the end of the movie and was the one that convinced the professor’s assistant to give her the antidote.
She's there as basically exposition for the audience. They needed a main character to speak English without having it just be a Japanese girl speaking English for no reason
ManicPixieFanGirl A ton of Americans are in japan to teach English via the Jet program and others. My take is she was there in a school setting (which I think they alluded to) and fits the role to explain a few things in English. She wasn’t just a random character.
Cliff O They did call her the exchange student in one scene
She's American so that she can speak English, like the dogs. This is because she's one of the only characters that understand the dogs, and this is represented by her speaking the same language as them.
This is nice! God bless and much love to you all!
Loved the movie. I'm a cat person and I almost switched sides by the end.
This movie was beautiful I love it. It’s like the most epic bedtime story come to life! It was unique hilarious dark loving and made me cry a river. How does this movie harm anyone? Exactly disgusting that anyone could be offended by beauty.
hes one of my favorite directors i actually love his live action films too since they feel almost fantasy like but the charecters are well written and so well portrayed that it makes you feel like your watching true events besides this movie was funny and a bit sad at times
Send me ma Scooby snacks.
You should cover Japanese movies. Nobody Knows or Our little sister for instance.
You make me want to watch flicks I didn't know I wanted to watch...👍🏽

Wes Anderson has an issue with writing and using people of color. In an attempt to accurately portray these cultures like in Isle of Dog or Darjeeling Delight, it comes off as using the culture and people as a backdrop and props. I don’t think he means to do this viscously, but is a consequence of western fetishization of the east.
Broey Deschanel made a great video about this and the topic of orientalism as it relates to Wes Anderson.
This isn't cultural appropriation I'm Asian I'm not offended. There are movies out there all about Asian people and they put a completely white cast and put a shit ton of makeup on them to make them look Asian rather than just hiring an Asian actor. I'm more offended by that than this movie
It’s not necessarily cultural appropriation but orientalism, Broey Deschannel has a helpful video on it
'Gives his google doc translator'
BRUH MOMENT HAHHAHAHA
There's nothing offensive about this movie
One of my instant top ten movies !!!
There are people who will find insults in roses. I learned to not be offended on anyone else's behalf.
Great video and opinions
The kill bill thing is so dead on its not funny
What a joy to watch this creative film.
How is there no fucking Shiba Inu
I really didn’t like this movie but I wasn’t offended by it
Lol Ohhh shit I had this idea for a movie before there was some random evil dictator or something but wasn’t gonna get rid off the dogs but He would be getting rid of all the cats of the world !lol
Yay you showed moonrise kingdom
If I took my dog to see this, she would bark the entire time because of the other dogs.
That is not what the movie means young man.It is pure evil wrapped in a cute package.
