Sexually evil

First of all, I have watched the longest version of several versions, the one that was a few minutes and three hours apart, and it took many days to read it.

It was a bit torturous to watch, and the narrator's wife and wife had ink marks.

I later looked through Lars Von Trier's other works, and felt that there should be something else to watch. If it wasn't for my dislike of horror films, I might have included him in the must-see director.

The form of this movie has never been seen before, a line is drawn into a room, and the whole play takes place in a town the size of a palm for three hours.

Personal preference, I don't like movies with too much narration.

And this form is indeed conducive to some expressions. For example, when the residents raped Grace, the picture does not need to cut the lens, but directly zooms in and out, and the depth of field is widened. The contrast of what is happening inside and outside may be even more shocking.

Furthermore, there are few sound effects in the film, only sound effects. The sound effects are also to show that there is a door here, and there is a dog calling for a car and walking, which is a bit dull.

The discussion of human nature is what many films are concerned about. This one also gives people a particularly sufficient space for thinking. It does not even lead people to think much. It is just a plain narrative, so the space for thinking is particularly sufficient.

And if I'm not a movie lover or I've learned something about movies, I don't think I'd be able to watch it.

But in fact, keep watching, it can still attract you step by step.

Below is the plot.

It takes two hours to see why it's called Dogtown, Doug Wilhelm is such a nice name, the residents are disgusting.

Grace was chained to a dog, and she had to drag an iron wheel when she walked. She treated people to dogs, so it was called Dog Town.

Grace should have had a conflict with her father at first and ran away from home, because there is a great black father, which also attracted both black and white to look for Grace.

Grace fled to Dougwill, was found and taken in by Tom, and stayed in the town.

The town is not big, there are not many people in the town, and the people are very simple, so when they know that the police are looking for this Grace, people are very scared, and under Tom's persuasion, Grace is still taken in at the price of Grace To work for the townspeople.

And after the police's repeated visits, a resident finally took action on Grace. I think it was just to covet her beauty, or to add "I have taken care of you, it's time to charge some interest".

Since then, lies have been intertwined with sexual evil.

After Grace and Tom had an unsuccessful escape plan, the townspeople held a meeting. After the meeting, someone discovered that the money had been stolen, and it was naturally attributed to Grace, who clearly wanted to punish Grace.

The collar removed from the dog was put on Grace's neck, and it was also carried on the neck of the town residents from the heart.

Intensified, Tom also revealed his true nature and contacted the rogue who was looking for Grace. Unexpectedly, the rogue came and the situation got out of control.

Grace met her father. After talking about the arrogance of human nature, God, etc., she finally understood the true meaning of life and the truth of life. At the expense of inheriting her father's business, she killed the whole town.

Dogville quotes

  • Narrator: How could she ever hate them for what was at bottom merely their weakness? She would probably have done things like those that had befallen her if she had lived in one of these houses. To measure them by her own yardstick, as her father put it. Would she not, in all honesty, have done the same as Chuck and Vera and Ben and Mrs Henson and Tom and all these people in their houses? Grace paused and as she did, the clouds scattered and let the moonlight through, and Dogville underwent another of those little changes of light. It was as if the light previously so merciful and faint finally refused to cover up for the town any longer. Suddenly, you could no longer imagine a berry that would appear one day on a gooseberry bush, but only see the thorn that was there right now. The light now penetrated every unevenness and flaw in the buildings and in the people. And all of a sudden, she knew the answer to her question all too well. If she had acted like them, she could not have defended a single one of her actions and could not have condemned them harshly enough. It was as if her sorrow and pain finally assumed their rightful place. No. What they had done was not good enough. And if one had the power to put it to rights, it was one's duty to do so - for the sake of other towns, for the sake of humanity and not least, for the sake of the human being that was Grace herself.

  • 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.
