Review of Isle of Dogs (2018) by Mildly — 13 Aug 2018
The animation is exquisite, but I was honestly disappointed in the details and the plot of the movie. Offensive to mainstream Japanese culture and history even. The Japanese dialogue was not made to be understandable.
And...why did everyone “Japanese-looking” have to speak with a heavy accent? I don’t have Japanese ancestry, yet I found it incredibly offensive. Why did they need to be saved by a white person in the end?? Thanks for contributing to media presentation on the whole “white people save the day” fantasy.
I really wanted to like this movie, I couldn’t. I regret buying a copy of this movie.
