Isle of Dogs
Isle of Dogs is fine at first. Then you think about the yellow washing. More in particular, you think about the grandparent who brought their little grandchildren to a puppet movie who end up laughing at the strange stuff Japanese people do. “Let’s all point and laugh at this wacky society.”
Don’t. It wasn’t a movie for kids and none of it was funny because of the funny stuff Japanese people do.
And that could be the problem with the film. It’s like a minstrel show. Without any context, the audience points and laughs.
Damn. I just knocked a star off of this because of that.
2 of 5 stars.
