      Imaginative Dao Gema 95

      dogma95 - very strange name! It is surprising and natural that the initiator of this movement is "Till". Think Dogtown or Dancer in the Dark...
      the manifesto is literally a mix of extreme versions of neorealism and new wave, plus some Nordic paranoia and coolness...anyway, some The legal disguise of a bad movie, and the strange pursuit of someone who knows the movie extremely well.
      Personally, I don't quite agree with this declaration~~
      This "Idiot" makes people both happy and...

      "Idiot", gangbang and anti-social





          After a long time, there is no trigger point to start writing. Two days ago, a girl said that she would recommend each other to me to watch movies, and I was quite surprised. However, it was later discovered that she was a bit bluffing. This also seems to be what I meant before: the more you know about a thing, the more difficult it is to give a more accurate definition of this thing. Of course, now I know that I'm just a bug in the apple of the movie world. I watch too...

      Idiots are the future

      The first part of the three works of conscience is the last to watch, and there are still small contradictions between people and human beings everywhere, turning to the war between human nature and human nature.

      Is there no reason for a bizarre world to exist? Is the bizarre world absurd and wrong? But this real world is too "bizarre", and some people have to create false and bizarre, self-rules.

      When she returned to her original society, there was an unavoidable atmosphere of...

      This is a film that tests our tolerance

      Directed by Danish cattleman, Dogma95 initiator and spokesperson von Trier. This is a film that tests our ability to bear. It can be said to challenge the existing electric inspection system and the moral standards of the audience. The theme of the film is quite clear - do you believe in "idiot philosophy"? Those men and women who pretend to be stupid go everywhere to deceive and deceive "normal people". Many of them have legitimate jobs and complete families. They are basically decent middle...

      In the end, people still don't have the courage to give up their normal lives.

      This movie came to mind when I was in law class today.

      At the beginning of the second half of the movie, when the head of the "idiots" asked the members to play idiots in their own life, these members stood on their own stage of reality, and they never had the courage to pretend to be an idiot in front of the familiar people around them. .

      Some netizens think that they don't want to play idiots in real life because they don't want to make people who trust them sad, but if...

      Perhaps Stoffer is the one who sees the most thoroughly and understands that reality cannot be changed, but it makes him more painful, hysterical, and cynical. Karen is like "a puppy" who loves idiots so much, "being an idiot is the best thing I've ever done". At the end, I realized that facing the reality turned out to be so cruel. Dogme #2, it took three times to read it, it was too shaky and caused physical...

      The reason why of and will fail is the same as the reason why will fail is that it is This is not a rebellion, a tearful smile or a tearful smile.

      The masterpiece of Dougma's manifesto, the production is rough and simple, but the inner quality is very real and charming. A movie that makes you ask yourself: what is a movie? The Garden of Eden of "idiots" is full of eternal happiness, and people, as individuals in society, have to return to society after all. The inadequacy is that you should not care about the lens penetration for following certain...

    Evaluation action

    "The Idiots" shows the audience another new way of fighting between people and social groups with a special shooting method - pretending to be crazy and acting stupid. The image of The Idiots is the spiritual mask of the characters in the film, and it also becomes a shield for their various transgressions. In fact, the struggle described in the film is more like an escape. The protagonist tries to get rid of the boredom and disturbance...
