Wes Anderson's Island of Dogs. I am sitting here thinking about my own impressions. The film made me feel somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, as a great lover of dogs, I received this story with great sympathy, on the other hand, her presentation made a heavy impression on me. In the Japanese city of Megasaki, the corrupt and cruel mayor of Kobayashi, who, under the pretext of ridding people of the epidemic of “dog flu”, gets rid of all dogs, deporting them to the Garbage Island, which because of this was called the Island of Dogs. On the same island was exiled dog Spots, formerly served as a guard pupil of the mayor of Atari, who sheltered him after the death in a car crash of his parents. Atari travels to the island to find and retrieve his dog, where he meets a group of dogs and goes in search of them. . . On the one hand, this film is not just stylized to Japanese cinema, but sometimes shot in Japanese, and without translation (people and dogs speak different languages), on the other hand, serious problems of humanity emerge from the cover of the fairy tale. On the one hand, it is an animated fairy tale film made for older children, on the other hand, it is a film for adults. But if for children a straightforward solution to problems looks quite normal, then adults can perceive it only by making a discount on the convention and genre of the work. That’s how the film balances these two approaches, and that’s what made me a little dissatisfied. I loved the film, it was beautifully shot.
