    There is no real scene, the script is the soul, and the actors are the absolute subjects. The village is built entirely by people, and human nature and morality are the only three-dimensional things in the film. You can only hear the barking of the dog, but in fact, the villagers who look like dogs have already stood naked in front of the camera. The most striking thing is this idea. The creativity is very good, but the narrative is still too complicated, dull, and procrastinating, and many...

    Very neat, highly finished work. Disappointed with the ending, Grace ended up eliminating Dogtown's behavior, but just made it one of them, according to her moral standards - should be self-defeating. Both grace and the residents of Dogtown finally chose to use privilege to trample their own values ​​on the values ​​of others (the director called it arrogant), abandoning communication and respect—that is, voluntarily relinquishing privilege, they are essentially the...

    Power and humanity, nothing good. Those deformed photos and wild music at the end, you really don't know how to scold Von...

    The form of expression shines brightly, and the chatterbox is as always; the crowd who rest on their laurels exposes the weaknesses of human nature. The chapter in which the nature of the villagers is revealed is thrilling, perhaps that is what everyone really looks like. In the seemingly normal life around, it's just that more people can better suppress and control the "evil" in their hearts and have no courage to pursue their...

    10 years ago, I would have had a five-star rating, but one of the hallmarks of a moviegoer's maturity is whether he scoffed at a movie like Dogtown. We ordinary people must keep the bottom line of truth and kindness, and stand up to coercion and temptation. For this reason, we can abandon beauty and art without hesitation, otherwise you may become the mother of the child who died first, or become a murderer. ....

    The atmosphere of the whole film was terribly depressing. At first, I didn’t understand why it was performed in the form of a stage play. When I saw the heroine being insulted for the first time and the others were sweeping the snow in front of the door, I completely saw the viciousness like a mad dog. The essence of the small village and town. The male protagonist still loves the female protagonist, but you are too selfish in a critical period. Poor people must have something to hate....

    Would the film be better or worse if it wasn't dramatic? I don't think so. It can be said that open design makes evil more transparent and sexual desire more primitive. It can also be said that von Trier has blurred the independent art form of film, each of which will take time to prove right or wrong. But it has to be mentioned that this fresh form enhances part of the audience's perception and makes this simple story more...

    You try to show your goodness by forgiving everything, but it is this goodness that justifies your arrogance. I love this type of film very much, but it will be sad for a long time after watching...

    The Lucifer Effect movie version is not innovative in form. The stage play started from Mérieux. This is not the direction of the movie. The body of the movie is not the...

    Von Trier's One Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom, the naked and ugly humanity, is too ironic and too dark. Very realistic. The performance of the film is wonderful, and the actors perform very well. The solution given by the director is too extreme and will make people lose confidence in human nature. The ending reflects the director's intent. Paradoxically, the director has made so many moral references and indoctrination, which is in line with his remarks in support of Hitler at Cannes this...

    The world is a big dog town

      
    This is a real horror movie.
    The horror of it is that it is a sharp, shimmering questioning. Under this questioning, our self-righteous morality becomes weak and unpretentious: If you are a dog town, would you be violent to an innocent person? ? Moreover, if violence is democratized,...

    God is merciful, but he still destroys Sodom!

    I haven't had time to watch this long film, but the drama-like scene has always attracted me. The weak and kind Grace makes me feel distressed. I have been looking forward to her outbreak for two hours.

    What is Dogtown? It represents human sin and reminds me of the story of Sodom in the Bible. Even...

Dogville quotes

  • Grace: I think the world would be better without Dogville.

  • Grace: What? What is it?

    Tom: A man can't really be blamed for being scared, now can he?

    Grace: No.

    Tom: No. I was scared, Grace. I used you and I am sorry. I'm stupid, I am, maybe even arrogant sometimes.

    Grace: You are, Tom.

    Tom: Although using people is not very charming, I think you have to agree that this - specific illustration has surpassed all expectations. It says so much about being human! It's been painful, but I think you'll also have to agree it's been edifying, wouldn't you say?

    Grace: Not now, Tom. Not now.

    [Grace walks away and reenters The Big Man's car]

    Grace: If there is any town this world would be better without, this is it.
