Great opinion, I appreciated your passion combined with a judgment that doesn't overlook the technical side. I can’t wait to see this latest work from the great Wes.
If it's in the vein of Fantastic Mr. Fox, it is absolutely worth watching. I adored that film; apart from the masterful stop-motion technique, the character writing and the gags are superb. Wes Anderson is a treasure of world cinema.
I believe that Wes Anderson is a true genius, and I don't use that term lightly. As for the comparison with Mr. Fox, I’ll go out on a limb and say that this one even surpasses it—I have no doubts about that, and I consider Mr. Fox magnificent. Isle of Dogs might be his best film ever.
Well, the level is always extremely high, so subjectivity can play a role, but personally, I loved it even more than Grand Budapest, which is also extraordinary. A truly crazy job has been done.
But guys, not to be a pain in the ass, go see movies in theaters sometimes, because streaming doesn't do them justice—it's not even a millionth of what you get on the big screen. It's also about giving credit to the great work done by directors, cinematographers, animators (in this case)...
I actually saw the trailer and then I thought about gluing it to the comment, and you're absolutely right, movies should be watched in the cinema if possible...
The last 30 minutes I was about to collapse from sleep. Not a good sign (for the movie, not for me). Definitely better than Fantastic Mr. Fox for my tastes.
I had the same experience with Grand Budapest Hotel, so much style as always but at a certain point I got a bit bored, unlike his other films. Mr. Fox, on the other hand, is among the best in all of animation, but well, doing it in stop-motion felt like cheating; it was just wonderful.
Visually, they are very beautiful, and this one is no exception; impeccable from this point of view. However, I found the story and the narration boring. It might be that I watched Mr. Fox when I was younger and therefore I’m already set in my ways, or maybe this film is too Japanese and I'm not particularly fond of Japanese culture (except when they make badass films about the yakuza).
I was actually referring to the comments on this page, few and only two about the film, of which only yours was positive. But also elsewhere, like on fb, I found fewer comments and less enthusiasm than I would have expected; many that I read called it good but less than other works by Anderson. The critics, however, seem to have recognized it more.
In my opinion, as an idea seen from the outside, it's not very appealing. I mean, you have to trust the director blindly. Then it rewards you immensely. I think that’s the problem.
Yes, of course, it's not like it's a commercial film; it's a film that, as I see it, Anderson was able to afford thanks to the great success of Grand Budapest, which was very satisfying at the box office. He had already made Fantastic Mr. Fox, but Isle of Dogs as a production is definitely more imposing and complex. However, it’s also true that Anderson is among the most popular directors in the film-loving world, so I took it for granted that more people would follow him. On the other hand, in Italy, as soon as spring arrives, the cinemas empty out.
Okay, I saw it but on the computer; it would have definitely been a whole different experience in the cinema. But one has to know how to be content, and I modestly know how to do that...
I saw it years ago (in the comfort of my home) with Dolby and a 4K TV... watching a movie like that in streaming at 480p can never be fully appreciated.
