The people of Dogtown, who are rotting from the inside out, would shudder if they could feel their humanity, and the truth is outrageous.

    The core of the stage play is the frame of the drama, which reduces the bloated and cumbersome scenes, so that the attention and focus of all the actors are completely focused on the performance. Although I am very disgusted with this story of "locals teaming up to humiliate foreigners in distress" (the ending is very cool), but the expression is worthy of praise and refreshing! There are times when a movie can be really simple and tell a thought-provoking story in a simple structure, and Dogtown does it.

    The end of the most awesome movie is Grace, played by Nicole Kidman in "Dogtown": "Kill the children first, let the mother watch, cry and kill one at a time." , what he did was earth-shattering.

Dogville quotes

  • [after being left the "last man standing"]

    Tom: Bingo, Grace, bingo. I have to tell you, your illustration, it beat the hell out of mine. It's frightening, yes, but so clear. Do you think I can allow myself to use it as a inspiration in my writing?

  • Tom: I think if Dogville had any significant symbolic meaning it wouldn't have an ordinary name like Dogville.
