When I saw the layout of the scene, I was really shocked by Feng Daopi... I was also convinced that the performance was finished in a parking lot for three hours.

The heroine is called Grace, which means grace from God. Grace is the outflow of God's love. The essence of God is love. Why can't she be God? The narration leads the story to a moral and ethical level all the time, referring to grace as a tempting forbidden fruit, but don't forget Feng Dao's identity as an antichrist, I prefer to see it as a blasphemous and judgmental parable Isn't the taking and rape of God's love the essence of a hypocritical believer's belief?

Tom established an exchange relationship with Grace from the very beginning, indicating that the divine grace has been blasphemed from the very beginning, making the divine grace subordinate to the economic category and losing its sanctity. What followed was intensified insults. Tom is more of a theologian than a philosopher in Dogtown. He always flaunted his love for Grace, and when he finally fucked her, he said they all fucked you, why can't I. An outbreak of a twisted ascetic belief. If Grace has always symbolized the image of a virgin woman like the Virgin Mary, then in this forced depravity she actually became a symbol equivalent to the great prostitute of Babylon. In terms of appearance, there is not much difference between the two images.

At the end of the father-daughter dialogue, Grace's desire to forgive everything further shows her identity. They accuse each other of being arrogant-arrogant, but who is the most arrogant and most qualified to be arrogant? God. Father and daughter are actually two sides of one body, grace and judgment. Both parties knew of the inexorable relationship but at the same time did not accept each other, which was why Grace left in the first place. In the end, Grace inherited the authority of her father and began the doomsday judgment. All people will be judged by God in the end, and the righteous and the wicked will enter heaven and hell respectively. It's just that there were no righteous people, so the trial turned into a one-sided slaughter.

Maybe they don't have to go to hell. After all, the world is full of sin, and it may be a hell in itself.

    #3900. I'm very desperate after watching it. This is almost some ultimate form of the movie... It's almost a matter of setting up a Lars Von Trier religion and worshipping it every day. So cruel yet so beautiful...

    This movie is amazing. . The minimalist form maximizes the content and reflects the distance and intimacy between residents, so her scene with Chuck is even more terrifying. As for the cowardice, selfishness, indifference and hypocrisy of human nature, I have never seen a more concrete expression of the cruelty and so-called "arrogance" of TT and the last rationale. Probably any kind of self-righteousness, even tolerance, is actually the greatest arrogance.

Dogville quotes

  • Narrator: [as McKay explores even further with his hand] It was not Grace's pride that kept her going during the days when fall came and the trees were losing their leaves, but more of a trance like state that descends on animals whose lives are threatened - a state in which the body reacts mechanically in a low tough gear, without too much painful reflection. Like a patient passively letting his disease hold sway.

  • Narrator: [as Grace attempts to make her case] If forgiveness was close at hand in the mission house, they were all hiding it well. It hadn't been easy for Tom to get them there. Appealing to consciences stowed farther and farther away by their owners every day, as if they were as fragile as Henson's glasses after polishing, proved quite a task. But if one was going, the others might as well come along too, so nobody could talk behind anybody's back.
