almost done with my wes anderson filmography watchthrough and i have now seen my first movie of his that i just did not like

Isle of Dogs Review

"Wes Anderson stop motion animated movie about dogs starring Bryan Cranston" seems like it should tick a lot of boxes for me. Unfortunately, the restrofuturistic Japanese setting is such a broad pastiche of stereotypes that it just feels like Wes listing things he knows from Japan off the top of his head for 100 minutes, like a feature length version of the Sakura-Con 2009 commercial. This and the decision to leave much of the human characters' dialogue untranslated combine to make large swaths of this movie kind of insufferable.

Yeah it's a mixed bag
On one hand I've heard japanese people back when I had a twitter say there was a surprisingly accurate amount of details that were spot on.
Even then, with stuff like the movie criticising the white savior trope, it still could be a lot better in regards to. being respectful towards Japanese culture.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is more up my alley anyways
