The first point of view of a serial killer

The director filmed a splendid 12 years of a perverted serial killer criminal career. He used the killer's perspective and unscrupulously challenged the audience's bottom line with images. However, for the audience who came prepared, his evil tastes were nothing. The film is a continuation of [female addicts] in creation. The style is like a staged retrospective of masterpieces. A large number of dialogues are mixed with various philosophical theories, interspersed with 5 murder accidents of the killer. The killer cured the compulsion through killing. However, it did not make his soul noble. The director was still not seeded, not Nazi enough, and his protagonist finally fell into the deepest place of hell. The film is relatively poor in Lars von Trier’s own work, or mediocre, not as good as [female addicts]. If there is anything interesting about this movie, it is that the director is playing a moral game with the audience, letting the audience see him killing from the perspective of a perverted killer, disagreeing with him, and worrying that he will be caught by the police. The typified narrative technique is used to tease the audience. There are so many such techniques that make the film deliberately sensational.

① The technique is almost extended from "Female Addict", but he created Satan's "Divine Comedy". It is not that Jack travels around hell and cannot enter heaven because he did not create a new Beatrice, but when he broke the duck's leg for the first time It has already been strangled, and the heaven is presented as a childhood appearance; ② The house serves as a shelter to protect human beings from exposure to the original universe, and building a house corresponds to survival, but Jack does not like constructive creation and instead advocates the aesthetics of ruins, preaching "expensiveness". "Corruption" is another devastating creation, denying Weegee's view that "you feel superior to others" and "you are objectifying human beings", seeing human beings as raw materials of art with a will, and being fundamentally different from Nazism ( Maybe it’s a high-sounding pretense); ③ Bad tastes (cleaning obsessive-compulsive disorder, breast purses, dragging a corpse in a trailer that resembles Kim Ki-duk’s “Saint”, etc.) is clearly dispelling seriousness, but it can be accompanied by accurate performance of bloody violence without ambiguity, Adding tension to the images also blurs the director's position. Those flashbacks to previous works cannot be identified as self-reflection or narcissism. Jack Kuxiao under the red cloak is a devil rather than a human being. This is not a demonstration of the evil of human nature.
