Yes, yes, yes, I know: why set a fable of police-state wall-building in a long-peaceful land, for decades a key American ally, almost three-quarters of a century removed from the status of defeated enemy? Why cast so few Japanese actors (and why is the best known someone who has lived on Central Park West for decades?)? Why engineer the plot such that a savior is the only American? And what's with her hair?

But sorry, I tend to watch Wes Anderson films less with my brain than with my heart, and my heart got the spastic dog-licking that it went for.
