I aint reading all that shit

By making the dog speak English yet have the humans speak unsubtilted Japanese, a Chinese American says that Wes Anderson is hurting all Asians everywhere.

That's the most retarded thing I've read today.

Why are Americans consistently the retards of the earth? Is it something in their culture?

>asian americans
worst minority in existence desu

Wes Anderson is one of my favorite directors and as long as he keeps making really good, enjoyable movies, he can do whatever the hell he wants.

It's usually the hyphenated Americans that are the retarded ones

Isn't it a matter of practicality easier to direct people speaking English and one or two characters in a language you don't speak than have the whole cast speaking a language you don't understand. And won't this just be dubbed in foreign countries anyway?

Wouldn't the dogs speaking Japanese be racist?

First someone has to explain why they think dogs speak Japanese instead of English.

Isn't the premise that Japanese dogs are sent to the island? Or at least the boys dog is.

isn’t the point that the humans speak Jap so that american audiences can’t understand what they are saying, the same way to dogs in the story see it. JESUS CHRIST it’s a plot point and is not fucking racist.

gas the planet, race war now

>admiring and paying homage to the cool things about another culture is somehow bad now

I will never understand "cultural appropration"

Right, but why would you assume dogs speak Japanese?

Russians sent to Polish POW camps still spoke Russian.

Mexicans in California still speak Spanish.

I thought that dogs understand the language of there owners? A frenchmans commands to his dog wouldn't be under stood by a Koreans dog right?

Russians in Polish POW camps probably quickly learn "stop" "be quit" "move" in German etc.

I bet I will enjoy this

We should gas asian americans. Or send them back to japan and gookland to uncuck them.

probably because you'r really racist

I bet I will too. Wes A is amazing

There's no such thing as cultural appropriation

>Chinese American

>thinks she can speak for asians

Top kek.

This.

>literally AmeriMUTTS

>Bluntly put, does this white American filmmaker's highly selective, idiosyncratic rendering of an East Asian society constitute a sincere act of homage, or a clueless failure of sensitivity?
I'm sure the same people that make animation like Girls und Panzer will be very offended by this.

The dogs speak in dog which is presented as English for the benefit of the audience and because this is an English speaking film.

It's an aesthetic choice. Humans and dogs can only barely communicate and most of it is not through verbal language but body language. The main characters of the film aren't the humans but the dogs, and so by making them speak a language that is at least somewhat understandable by the vast majority of cinema goers then the audience is more able to identify with the dogs. A literal language barrier between the humans and the dogs forces the audience to reinterpret the differences between humans, animals and nations.

It's so fucking simple if you think about it. I swear people like Mr Chang and the flat-earth crowd are cut from the same cloth. If they can't see it, and refuse to look for it, then it doesn't exist.

I can’t stand the narrator girl. She has that “quirky apathy” voice if you know what I mean. Reminds me of zoey deschanel or the girl from Panera bread commercials

Why did it have to take place in Japan anyway? Is Wes a weeb?

Why are you people so scared of Japan?

>a Chinese American says that Wes Anderson is hurting all Asians everywhere.
He's just trying to lure his Jap enemies into a false sense of comradery.

>I suddenly feel strong sentiments about a country I don't know and have rejected as Chinese American

niggers are worse

Doesn't matter as long as the product is good.

I don't think the cultural appropriation thing applies here because it's just voice acting. If it was live-action and 90% of the ensemble cast of a movie taking place in Japan was white, I'd get where they'd be coming from. But with animated movies, especially ones about animals, I don't think race matters at all. I mean shit, does Japan not dub American animated films with Japanese actors?

Will this be kino?

it is. Solid 8/10. Lot better than fantastic mr fox

Yes. They even dub American live action movies with Japanese actors.

A Chinese American defending the Japanese in this manner? Someone hasn't read up on Nanking

>mfw this logic will make people in the States go after "Death of Stalin" when it's released there

no mr. bond, I expect you to die.

>why would you assume dogs speak Japanese
Because they are japanese dogs?

Literally the same reason as why a russian in a polish POW camp would still speak russian. You honestly didn't think this post through at all.

DUDE IM A FAT CUNT WITH PROBLEM GLASSES AND I WILL TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO BE OFFENDED ON BEHALF OF JAPANESE PEOPLE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FROM ONE OF THE RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD LMAO

We just have little to no sense of shame and will do or say anything for a buck. Its not exactly stupidity.

>why don't americans make foreign films????
How fucking stupid are these people? It's an american movie. There are plenty of good Japanese films.

>tfw I watched it last month and loved it.

>doesn't come out until May here

>sets one film in japan
>HES A WEEEEEB

>Why did it have to take place in a made up Eastern European country anyway? Is Wes a Slavboo?
>Why did it have to take place in Indian anyway? Does Wes not know how to use a toilet?

They're in Japan.

But you can't understand what a dog says. So in a way it's the opposite. You can't understand the human but you can with the dog
