The brightest spot is the darkest spot on the negative

This is a dark flick of a religious man

He killed so many people, and even raised him to art. He regarded all the slaughter in the world as a worship, and the people who made these are unattainable great people.

Such values ​​are what he feels right from the bottom of his heart, and even I can't deny that what he said is wrong

But I think the sad thing is that no matter how self-righteous you are, you cannot deny the objective fact that you are not the most special one, or even one of the mediocre ones

I like the point of view in a film review, Jack tried to create a correct personality (house) by killing people, but the god of death directly denied him in the end and let him use the corpse to make the house, so when he built it, he watched his half-life hard work , I don't see his joy, but maybe it's the highest homage of an unsympathetic person

There is also a saying that these stories correspond to birth, miracles, sacrifices, denying love, and attaining the Tao. With these few steps, God's blood donation wine was born in decay, such straightforward and even dark wording is really overwhelming.

But divinity is still human, whether his nature is compassion or corruption, is he a savior or a slaughter, when slaughter becomes savior, when rot becomes art, can he shine brightly, because it is dark but bright

    "Don't look at my actions, look at my works" Even if there are a lot of discomforts, 5 stars can still give the director the courage to challenge the mundane vision, touch the forbidden places, and the idea of ​​being obsessed... Just like in this era, you can still see other A Clockwork Orange is as shocking and surprising.

    My favorite of all Lars Von Trier's films. Prior to "Riding the Wind and the Waves", he habitually disguised the protagonist as a victim of unprovoked persecution, providing ample excuses for various Nazi genocide counterattacks. Only this time he changed his hypocritical style and allowed the characters to appear directly as perverted murderers. The evil became sprouting and cute. At the same time, he raised the destruction to the level of art, which was enough to challenge the human moral limit and destroy the addiction of aliens. Filming and curing diseases is Russ' daily life style, but it cannot be denied that his super talent for creating single-stage thriller dramatic tension has been brought to the fullest in this film, tightening the nerves of watching to the extreme. Is this an unscrupulous display of extreme fascist abuse/sadism? I prefer to think of it as a mirror, and the discomfort is probably because the viewer faintly observes his subconscious desire to deviate from the norm.

The House That Jack Built quotes

  • Jack: Are you allowed to speak along the way? I was thinking there might be rules.

    Verge: Let me put it this way: very few make it all the way without uttering a word. But do carry on merrily. Just don't believe you're going to tell me something I haven't heard before.

  • Simple: Why do you always have to be so cruel? I'm not completely stupid.

    Jack: That fucking depends on your definition of "completely."
