brewster's millions has nothing on this mutt in week (retro)5



Americans wish they were this rich.
This animated adventure i found quite interesting.

they start off the film showing American drivers as dangerous and road hogs, in big cars swerving back and forth almost running each other off the road. I found this very interesting because while watching this i noticed i started to feel claustrophobic (im not so it was quite odd) then i noticed they were using the rocking motion with cars crammed together to make you feel crowded, while the car (the dog is in) is tailgating you(the viewer). This could be viewed as an appeal to fear, being how children (appeal to inappropriate authority) primarily would be watching this, i would amuse they would not want to get run over. later in the film they paint Americans as jazz crazed, bandwagon jumping... bugs... if you watch the part in the jazz club, the men look like roaches and the woman inch worms. jumping on the bandwagon of the richest mutt in the place, that so happens to be the dog. right after you get a few of what looks like missiles, almost as though they are setting up for war, but it turns out to be a social club, where men bark at the thought of peace. because all Americans are dark figures looking to start a war.
this film ends saying in America you can do anything, or be anyone... if you pay for it.
