tandem of a dog

From the beginning of picking up bones to the end of the only life in the town, dogs are undoubtedly more dignified than other people.
Depressed and depressing films end with revengeful endings, which makes me even more sad and disappointed. Indeed, this closed and self-sufficient town does have unavoidable ignorance. They haven't seen the world, they are timid, they are selfish, they are greedy, and their desires can rise to insatiable. But please understand that this all stems from the desire to know without experience. It cannot be denied that this is the weakness of human nature. Similarly, the heroine's yearning for freedom finally returned to reality, and she still did not escape human nature or reality. This is the conflict between dream and reality. Why reality must be the end result.
If at the end, she escaped, she was the only one who escaped by herself. Maybe her clothes were ragged at that time, maybe she had been ravaged by many men at that time, maybe all the people who hurt her never had retribution, maybe, although there were too many possibilities, her heart was so pure. This is better or worse than the pleasure of sitting in a famous car and seeing those people die one by one.
In conclusion, this is a cannibalistic movie. Although in a small area, it seems that justice has triumphed over evil, but the truth is that the escape of dreams is ultimately attributed to the killing of reality. Well, if I had to choose, I'd rather be a dog.

    The first two and a half hours are extremely boring and can be skipped, just look at the last half hour. The movie format similar to the drama is very novel, but it is not easy, but it can save some costs. The evil of naked human nature, to be honest, the Tucun section is very cool.

    The theme is simple: evil can arise anywhere as long as the situation is right. But emotions are slowly accumulated and deconstructed, and the thinking in the process is superb, thanks to Lars von Trier's perfect mix of avant-garde storytelling . The best thing is the timeless narration. Which cram school did he study English? This level of GRE verbal 600+ is no problem...

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.
