Would you like to do a review of Zack Snyder's Legends of Owl Kingdom Ga Hoole. Animation is splendit and plot is good too. But it is quite a dark film
Another person who did the "dont translate" thing is genndy tartakovsky in his show Primal. It has very little dialogue except for one episode thats SUPPOSED to be an outlier, and relies heavily on show don't tell. We dont know what most of the languages spoken even are, but you dont need to
I love Wes Anderson’s ‘kid’ movies, because even though they’re marked to kids, he treats his audience… like they’re smart. Watching this as a kid, I felt smart. I didn’t feel talked down to.
Along with the non-translation being good for obvious reasons, it forces you to be in the perspective of the dogs. Having the dogs speak the language of the consumer makes you relate more to the dogs by not being able to understand people. Very good writing
I hope he does another one someday! Also, Isle of Dogs needs a Criterion Collection Blu-ray/4K release! Pretty much every single one of his films has a Criterion release.
I’ve been a cat person my whole life, and I’ve never really been a fan of dogs, but I still absolutely adore and love this movie. So the fact it managed to touch not only dog people, but cat people too, shows how masterful the subject matter is presented. I’ve only watched the movie twice, but this video makes we really want to go for a third time
Stranger Things did the foreign language pretty good too, having Murray translate Alexei, or having subtitles for after Hopper learns Russian because now he understands it better - it’s subtitled because Hopper understands it and now the audience can along with him. It doesn’t do this all the time but it does it pretty well!
I watched the sushi scene. You made me seek it out. Safe to say I'm satisfied beyond my understanding. Edit: DUDE THAT SUSHI SCENE ALONE TOOK 8 MOTHS TO MAKE BRO. 8 MONTHS. I AM FLABBERGASTED.
man I love stop motion too, it takes so much freaking patience just to get a few minutes worth of film, and still it always manages to look so flawless. Even when you do not like the movie you can still appreciate the delicate art that is stop motion. In another life I would have definitely tried becoming a stop motion artist.
I remember in a BTS clip the people who worked on coralline said something along the lines of how it took a whole week to create about 3 seconds for the movie
@@arvo-noon it’s not mean for everyone, you can still enjoy it without doing it yourself. Stop motion is very time consuming work that requires a lot of patience which not everyone can handle
Fun Fact: Wes Anderson went to the same school as my dad. They also sat next to each other in the same class together aswell. Edit: I know it sounds silly and radiates the same energy as “My dad works for Microsoft.” but it’s true.
When it comes to the whole “dogs are speaking English?” I think what’s important isn’t what language they’re speaking. It might sound like English to us as the audience, but really, theyre just speaking dog. They don’t understand the Little Pilot, not because he speaks Japanese and they speak English, but rather, he speaks human and they dont. Even if the dogs spoke Italian or Spanish or some other language, its mostly just important that theyre not speaking the same language as the main humans.
In 2019 i walked into my brother watching this movie and i sat down and watched with him at first i thought this move was weird but an hour into the movie i grew to love it. And i still enjoy the dogs surrounding the bag of meat meme
I’m so glad you’re talking about this because Isle of Dogs is chronically overlooked, it’s absolutely stunning and did not get the recognition it deserved
I watched this aswell as many other movies like this “not for kids” when I was a kid and wasn’t scared. I feel like they really shaped me as a person very grateful
isle of dogs is one of my favourite movies of all time, every time you watch you notice something different and beautiful in either the writing or animation
I haven't watched this movie but think I might just because of the untranslated Japanese alone. When Steven Spielberg left all the Spanish untranslated in his rendition of West Side Story I felt oddly seen in a way I never expected in a movie, it made me feel included and it's not something movies do often let alone pull off. I'm suddenly so fascinated in seeing what it's like from the other side, to be in the party where the language being spoken isn't one of my own and to see how that feeling is utilized in the film. Because obviously if the director wants us to feel that way it's for a reason and I want to know why.
Sadly it lost its Oscar to Spider-Man into the spider verse, which by no means, is a bad movie, but this movie, in my opinion, stands out in a lot more ways.
@@diekamel1011 And to be fair, while I really like the attention to detail of Isle of Dogs, and respect it, I still prefer Spider-Verse over it, it has more fleshed-out characters.
@@mackielunkey2205 Fair point, but in the end it just comes down to preference. I enjoy the mystic style of Wes Anderson just a tad more, and I still see Spiderverse as one of the greates animated movies ever made.
@@diekamel1011 I honestly didn’t see the speech at the climax as Atari pointing out to his uncle that it would be hypocritical to kill the stray dogs (since Atari was brought in as a stray himself) before this video. That was a really neat touch.
One of my favorite movies as a kid was Fantastic Mr Fox, I would watch it constantly to the point where my parents knew all about the movie. So when Isle of Dogs finally came to our theaters, me and my dad went to see it… we saw it in theaters about 5 times (bringing my brother along a few times). It quickly became a favorite and I adore everything about it. The soundtrack is amazing, the visuals are gorgeous, the story is interesting, it’s just all perfect to me.
I saw this in theaters when it came out & it cemented my love & respect for animation & how technically impressive it is to make a movie like this, led alone one this good.
Ah yes, the other fantastic stop motion by Wes Anderson. This is actually the movie that made me watch his other movies since this was the second movie of his i had watched. This had just solified my opinion on Wes' style being overall very magnetifying.
I remember the first time I watched this thinking that the lack of subtitles was going to be annoying and that I wouldn’t understand anything therefore not enjoy the movie, but here I am a year later with this being one of my favorite movies and I never get tired of it
This movie won my heart thanks to the sushi making scene, I mean look at it! It's beautiful! (PS: If you enjoy movies that maintain the original language of the characters, I think you may enjoy Pan's Labyrinth. Of course, the whole thing is subtitled but still, I really like that movie and it seems right up your alley! Cheers and good day!)
I love when at first there's no Shadow and then it cuts and Shadow is suddenly there, because you know there is a ruined take that got edited out where he was just whistling nonstop until he was allowed out of the cage
Just a simple explanation, the style of using every single prop and thing existing on your set is called Chekhov's Gun who used a random gun as an example of how that insignificant random prop should have a lore/plot reason for existing! Also, I watched this masterpiece a couple of days ago!!! It was an absolute 10 outta 10!
no, chekov’s gun is the simple concept of introducing a thing in act 1 and that thing being important during act 3 ex. character shows they have a gun hidden in their coat in act 1, later in act 3 they shoot the antagonist with aforementioned gun
I saw this movie when it first came out and I was a little younger so a lot of stuff went over my head, in part bc of the language barrier of the humans, but I watched it again earlier this year and there's so much attention to detail and intentionality to this movie. It's beautiful, dare i say a masterpiece
This movie is seriously so good! My only complaint is that cats are on the villain side. But that’s just me being a butt hurt cat person. Atleast in this movie it’s just a family of people who hate dogs. But for real even though he just explained the movie. The way the story goes and how well made the movie is. You can still go and watch and be surprised and entertained while knowing what happens.
This movie's been on my to watch list for ages and this video made me pause before you really got into it and watched it then returned to your video. So thank you for helping me tick that of my list
This has been my favorite movie, since I saw it in theaters. I could go on for hours about every detail from every second I've never met a single person who's seen the movie, let alone like it. I appreciate this so much
A movie that handles different languages the same way as Isle of Dogs came in to my mind: Azur and Asmar. The movie uses two different languages, the main one and the secondary one. The difference is that secondary one is very rarely translated, which is good since characters are in foreign country and don't understand the language that well. I don't know anyone who has reviewed it, it's pretty unknown film. To me it's a very unique though, at least what comes to the usual animated movies we watch (Disney, Pixar etc.). Visuals are gorgeous, and animation is very unique. Never seen a similarly animated film. I highly recommend!
I got this movie on DVD and I probably watched over 100 time(being completely serious) being and artists also is a big part of it because I love the stop motion and the style of everything. Great video btw. Keep of the work I'm an new subscriber thx for the amazing vid
Isle of Dogs is my absolute favorite movie. I love the stop motion and the art style is just immaculate. Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs are amazing. Wes Anderson is one of my directors if all time. The story is perfect and I love it so much!
It’s so smooth and it makes me amazed each time I watch it because, i always spot new details I never noticed before. They also put so much work and dedication on every single movement and individual hairs. I am truly amazed at what stop motion animators can do!
I won't say I loved this movie but I did end up going to the theaters to see it during its final few showings. I was seemed liked a dream sitting in the theater all alone watching this movie pan out. The visuals truly were amazing to experience on the big screen and the story was nothing like what I expected. I wish I could re live the moment again
Im really glad somebody gave this movie a better impression. Isle of dogs has been my favourite movie since it's release and alot of people overlook it for its silly gimmicks such as killer evil robot dogs and human to dog communication devices but despite that the concept for this movie is AMAZING and I wouldn't have such a great imagination today if it wasn't for isle of dogs
I have the movie poster framed in my room. I loved this movie, I saw it in the theater when it came out. This movie is one of my favorite animated films. It's brilliant.
Wes Anderson movies just GOATED Bro i tear up so much at random parts, like Watanabe saying "whatever happened to man's best friend" or just most of the scenes with chief and atari
when this movie came out, I thought it was so clever for the title doubling as both "isle of dogs" and "I love dogs" God dammit, bp said that in the video lmao
My favourite Wes Anderson movie, brilliant stuff. Also the "jump where here when now why what" was the funniest thing when I first saw it. Also the puke joke
i love how im watching this after wendell and wild came out, DEF WANNA SEE A REVIEW ON IT SOON CUZ OMFG THAT MOVIE IS AMAZING!! also i dont think i should have watched isle of the dogs at the age i watched it at cuz... omg its so dark like its rlly dark
I agree SOOoOO much its crazy. To the point where I was actually about to make a video about this movie. This movie is by far my favorite of all time it is a heart wrenching masterpiece and whenever someone asks for a movie reccomendation I say this movie. As a person who only knows only a little Japanese I am immersed even more. I fucking love this movie and every person on the planet should watch it.
I deeply agree. I love isle of dogs, it’s deeply nostalgic to me and it’s just such a calm movie. It’s long, friendly, has a good story and it’s playlist and background music is just….. My honest reaction to its background music and songs is, and I quote from when I first saw it as an adult “MmmmMmmMmmMmMmMmmMmMmMmMmmMMmMm👍👍👍👍MmmmmmmmmmMmmmMmMmM, delectable”
AGREED!!! I ADORE this movie, it’s so cinematic and the perfect balance of funny and serious- I cannot express how much I love stop motion! They did so well
