Mild sexual innuendo throughout film, including dogs mentioning having sex
We see the mayors butt as he steps out of a hot tub for a brief moment.
Several times dogs are speculated to have “mated” with each other.
Film review：Translated by www.rabudo-ru.com
Those who have seen dog Island know that the Japanese regime in the film is divided into dog and cat factions
The timeline is set to Japan 20 years later
Mayor Kobayashi, who is dominated by the cat faction, is in power
So here comes the problem
Why did Kobayashi, mayor of the cat faction where cats and dogs have been incompatible since ancient times, send his adopted son Atari a guard dog?
(flashback here)
At the beginning of the film, we have a background story. It is worth noting that there is a traitor in the cat faction – a young warrior, who helps the dog faction to be rescued
Mayor Kobayashi represents a “warrior” in the current cat school (details: as soon as the TV interview is over, he immediately parted ways with the cat he was holding, which shows that he doesn’t love cats at all, but just plays on the spot)
Unfortunately, the cat sect is actually manipulated by the housekeeper in private
(details: the housekeeper was angry and wantonly scolded Atari for touching the dots sent by the mayor, and dared to challenge the mayor later. It can be seen that his identity is unusual). Kobayashi Dingren only exists as a puppet mayor with Kobayashi’s Orthodox blood. He has more heart than strength
He had to secretly train his adopted son Atari to become a new “young warrior” and arranged a dog beside him
Its name is guard dog, which avoids the eyes and ears of the housekeeper.
Then the problem comes again
Why should the mayor kill all the dogs behind him?
(the progress bar is pulled to the end)
Atari led the dogs of garbage island to the auditorium
After the speech, the picture focused on the mayor’s face
At first, the eyes were like cat’s eyes, and then gradually returned to normal
After the dogs and people fight together
Five cats appeared inexplicably around the mayor
(details: there is no picture of cats joining the crowd halfway, and people like the mayor who don’t love cats can’t carry cats with them)
In Japanese legend, cats often have the function of bewitching people
It can be expected that the mayor had “resisted” in the past and finally failed
In order to facilitate manipulation, the housekeeper bewitched him with a cat
The cholera cat was driven away after a bout of beating, and the mayor completely returned to normal
If you still have some impression, you will remember that the mayor was touched by Atari’s speech. After his eyes returned to normal, many pictures flashed out
Among them are the scenes of young Samurai drama
This can be used as a hint that Kobayashi is a cat “warrior”
Then came all kinds of pictures of abusing dogs and harmonious coexistence between people and dogs
Mayor Kobayashi is in the cat camp and his heart is in the dog
After the bewitchment was temporarily relieved, I shed tears of regret at the thought of doing so many things to hurt the dog sect
Resolutely lifted the ban on garbage island
The housekeeper showed his fangs
Later, he was defeated by the prepared dog sect
Kobayashi gave his kidney transplant to the dying Atari
It is a kind of inheritance, which means that Atari wants to complete Kobayashi’s unfinished dog industry
At the end of the film, mayor Kobayashi and the housekeeper are imprisoned, and Atari, as the only heir, naturally becomes the new mayor
Everything looks beautiful
It has become a happy ending again
But it actually implies the extreme of another regime
Atari received one-on-one elite education at the mayor’s house secretly manipulated by the housekeeper, but at the same time, he was influenced by the dogs and cats, influenced by the thoughts of the two factions, and distorted his own values.
Although there is still a childish child, it has shown some dark side.
It’s courage to fly alone to the garbage island
Not tall enough to climb the slide is arbitrary, radical and ambitious
After going to the island, he played a military song and shouted, “from now on, you will all be my dog.” (after landing on the island, Atari bar, the general meaning of a sentence in a large section of Japanese) is a symbol of hegemony
During the movie, we can clearly feel Atari’s attitude towards dogs and the strangeness of his relationship with dogs.
The only leader who disagreed with Atari
After being domesticated by Atari’s behaviors such as whistling, throwing sticks, bathing and eating dog food, it means that the liberals are institutionalized by the dog school, and therefore have a new and prestigious identity – the brother of the former guard dog, the current guard dog, and the subordinates above Atari, rather than our friends.
The soundtrack of “Seven Samurai” sounded many times in the film
It is reminiscent of the similarities and differences between dog island and the Seven Samurai
The seven warriors helped the farmers fight the mountain bandits and suffered heavy losses in the end
The Scout guard among the seven warriors sighed
“The farmer won and we lost.”
Dogs help dog pie fight rivers and mountains, and finally they are still human appendages
The former guard dog represents the point of the awakening faction in the dog, because it is opposite to the position and concept of Attari, the leader of the dog faction, and can not be domesticated again
Imprisoned under the shrine, hiding the cause of death, erecting a monument as the image of “a hero dedicated to the great cause of the dog sect”
One of his cubs was taken away by Atari, raised by Atari himself, trained confidants and prepared for the next generation of guard dogs
Is it not another kind of “warrior” Pathetique?
After several years of Atari’s rule, you can imagine,
It will be another political cycle like the cat school.
