"Dog Island": Wes Anderson, 11 and a half, only wants to play with toys

This picture, like the old version of the hundred-dollar bill, is the Jewish gang of the American authors.

Wes Anderson, the new generation of film masters in the minds of fans, the best designers in the film director, the best film directors among the designers, environmentalists, ugly otaku, dog party.

On April 20, 2018, the old devil who killed the literary youth in the literary and art world finally got the first film to get the dragon label:

"Dog Island", a post-industrial junkyard drama, a pot of political private goods and historical dumping, 101 minutes of dog biscuit advertising and dog party stop animation dog propaganda film.


Stop motion animation - the past world past expression


The fixed-frame animation, the puppet show and the clay toy are arranged in a series of frames. In the era of CGI special effects, it has become a non-mainstream expression of old craftsmanship.

However, in 2009, "The Great Fox Dad" and "Mary and Marx" two masterpieces, officially the result of the fall of Tim Burton's baton, the success of the stop motion animation in the 2010s.

Mary and Marx Mary and Marx

However, from the perspective of the creation trajectory, almost all the film works of Wes Anderson have such a feeling of stop motion animation -

At the end of "Rushmore", the male protagonist used the model bomber and safety gunpowder to move the Vietnam War to the school stage;

"Life in the Water" describes the story of deep sea exploration, but all ships, submarines, planes and fish stocks are all replaced with toys;

The flashing red BB on the map of "The Moonrise Kingdom" replaces the regular special effects, the sled chase in the Budapest Hotel, and so on -

There is almost no shadow of CG special effects in his movies. All visual expressions beyond reality are toys, clay, or a lovely mushroom cloud made of messy wool.

An interesting contrast: the same heavy toy/hand control, the new Oscar best director Gilmore de Toro teacher has fundamental differences.

The gyro's aesthetic tends to be dark and strange. It comes with the madness of the real world. Insects, carapace, scorpion and compound eyes are his good heart. The complexity, humidity and stagnation of the Cthulhu nightmare are the benchmark requirements for all props and makeup. .

On the contrary, Wes Anderson is much brighter. The cartoon, the sense of order, and the swaying minors (animals) in the symmetrical composition are the basic pixels of his adult fairy tale.

In the bones, he is an absolute film fundamentalist. Different from the era when "all business has become a computer operator", what he really loves is that the film originally took over various visual tricks from street juggling and magic.

Such tricks—or, a huge array of props, dolls, installations, fonts, and obsessive-compulsive obstacles—beyond all stories and transcend all political goods, becoming the core expression of The Island of the Dog.


Precision and bad taste - how to gracefully poison the enemy


Stirring - chopping - distillation - condensation. In "Fox Dad", the manor's main set of cider distillation system, coupled with warm lighting, every time you watch, the tongue will have a little bit of acid.

Replaced with "Dog's Island", the Science Party's laboratory, the huge and complicated experimental equipment is running under the noise of the cockroach, with the rhythm of the tempering timer, dripping out the cure for canine sputum and canine flu Vaccine -

Of course, there are also champagnes that scientists use to celebrate, and they must also geek to use a test tube to dry.

Wes Anderson always showed off in the film with a variety of equipments, operating interfaces, linkages, and toilets. It is like a fourth grade elementary school to show off the MG Gundam model. Like the bad guys for decades.

Stop motion animation, because every detail is hand-polished, tends to be in a simple scene - castle, basement, Frankenstein nest, Millennium nickname.

However, "Dog Island" gives the world almost unlimited details, you can stop a random frame, read the text on the newspaper in the focus of the picture, see what brand of canned fish in the garbage mountain, carefully touch the experiment The order in which the lights in the room are lit up.

Iron giant claws, mine car conveyor belts, missile mountains piled up in plastic bottles, abandoned baseball fields with grass, and the end of everything - huge, incinerators with red glow.

Wes Anderson's near-future fantasy is full of pragmatic principles. Of course, everything for his own hands-on service - metal dog tags, school milk, flying posters, unwanted things, is discarded in specific places.

The "Dog Island" for my charm comes from the useless details - echoing the end of the film, the dense drums, the sudden insertion of the plot-free sumo game, splashing your bloody kidney transplant Surgery, and so on.

The exquisite sense of obsessive-compulsive disorder unique to Japanese cultural symbols is in line with his ambition to "restore the real world with toys."

Wes Anderson also happily filmed the process of making a sushi. Under the tentacles, I watched the octopus sucker slightly twitching. Finally, I watched the sushi chef put the sushi meticulously into the twill paper bag, folded it, folded it, and folded it.

I knew that when he took this paragraph, he wouldn't be cool enough - although this episode was not useful for the plot.

That's right, I think, Wes Anderson is just plain, wants to be particularly cool, folds to the ground - play with toys, and play a story that shows the world with his cold humor and bad taste. :

In the near future, the ultimate retort of the dystopian garbage dump, the dog and the two parties crossed the millennium last jihad, and began to smash.

A New York otaku, who picked up Katsushika Hokusai, Akira Kurosawa, and Hayao Miyazaki, and built his own toy in Japan - it sounds cool, isn't it? Confirmed your eyes, you are a Weiss Anderson brain powder.


In addition to playing with toys, he has no plans to say anything.


With the disappearance of the last screen subtitles, I heard a rumbling bang in my ear - an analysis of the political metaphors of "Dog Island" by various media is coming fiercely.

WA once released a smoke bomb in the interview: "Island of the Dog" shows "20th century European history."

After the dog was sown by the dog flu in a small dog, the original social identity was lost, entering a garbage island like a concentration camp, and planning for mass extermination. This kind of drama is familiar. Substituting Nazis and Jews, the Soviet Union and many many ethnic minorities, even Poles and Ukrainians, Turks and Armenians, can.

Wait a minute, there is still a bunch. The "overseas conspiracy" of Western student representatives, the political assassination of the "Science Party", the spoof of the democratic voting system of King, Rex, Duke, and Boss, the dog-dogs who died of mustard gas...

Japan in the movie is not Japan of any era, nor Europe of any era, but an imaginary country with sufficient complexity.

This bright and messy story has too many clues that there is no news after being stunned. And "Island Island" seems to have nothing to do but to play with toys.

Wes Anderson intends to make it bad. Adding all kinds of symbols to the heart and soul (these are not even metaphors at all, but straightforward explanations), for the simplicity of this to some pale stories, increase the space of being played, discussed and over-interpreted.

As a fan, "Dog Island" is definitely not my favorite Wes Anderson movie. But I still want to try to give a interpretation of myself.

In the whole film, the emotional climax is not from the big battle, but on the way to the city, Spots is the "wedding" for Chief and Atari.

In this sensational sensational bridge, Chief ate tears and ate dog biscuits, completely giving up the freedom and dignity of being a stray dog, and promised to be Atari's guard dog.

In the private building of Wes Anderson's enthusiasm, I only smelled a sincere emotion in this scene.

One belief is replaced by another belief, a social youth becomes a community security guard, and Qi Tian Da Sheng is recruited into a grandson...

Wait, the original "Island of the Dog" is actually Wes Anderson's "Journey to the West"?

In the end, most importantly, I think the director still wants to play with the model. He just hopes to use the money made by this film to buy more and better models to play.

No matter how bleak the box office is, the freshness is guaranteed - as long as the dog party is still there. No matter how bleak the box office is, the freshness is guaranteed - as long as the dog party is still there.

At the end of one of his most infamous films, "Life in the Water," there is an inexplicable line. The pregnant Cate Blanchett looked at the deep sea beast swam outside the porthole of the deep sea submarine, and together with the male protagonist Bill Murray, put his hand on the bulging belly.

- 12 years later, he is 11 and a half years old.

- That is my favorite age.

This is the hero of all the films of Wes Anderson -

Psychiatric robbers, the genius of the middle-aged crisis, the school tyrants with braces, the boy who left home, the Indian hotel concierge, the unselling emotional novel writer, the wild fox darling, the evil on the garbage island The dog, as well as himself, the psychological age shared by all.

No matter how many political private goods are stuffed in his new film, how many big coffee voices are available, and Wes Anderson, 11 and a half years old, has not grown up.
