unexpected, beyond reason

It was seriously unpleasant to watch, and it was a shocking five-star movie, but his foundation was a one-star screenwriter who was very brainless, and it can only be average in general. The screenwriter's brain damage is second only to his "Dancer in the Darkness". I watched "Dancer in the Darkness" first. It is estimated that in this film, the director will definitely make some abnormal tricks to attract attention, which is unexpected. In addition to being reasonable, every time the potential comedy plot is transformed into a tragedy so that it has an unreasonable farce element. In order to deter the audience by any means, the director's show is very important, and only by such methods can shock people's hearts. It doesn't appear to be high. Similar to "Dancer in the Darkness" and "Breaking the Waves", in order to seek the concept that he wants to express, it is very far-fetched to turn the film to the side he wants. His film "Dog Town", which has always been the opposite, is completely different. , although there are exaggerated elements and speculative stage play, but it is unexpected and reasonable. The movie "A Separation", which is about the reaction of human nature in religion, also has abnormal behaviors and two-sided psychological descriptions under religious thinking, but you can't find too many far-fetched elements. Everything is unexpected, but it does not exceed any common sense. Comparing the two, the difference is more than a little.

Lars Von Trier’s movie screen is really terrible. Even if he knows the development of the plot, he is still psychologically tortured with Emily Watson and does not know what to do. That kind of grief, fearless and regretless sacrifice is really ridiculous. In the performance, Watson did a bone-in performance, and the audience felt a real pain. However, I feel sad and regretful for the performance of Caitlin Katliji. The failure to receive the performance is definitely an unjust case in an unjust case. Screen rewatch

The erotic "The Passion of the Holy Maiden" is a powerful attack on "cannibalism" religious asceticism and hierarchy. But what is very paradoxical is that after the seemingly ridiculous sacrifice, Lars von Trier turned his pen and ink, mortals were redeemed, and the holy voice of heaven spread throughout the world. The ambiguous stance on religion is exactly the same as that in "The Fourteen Stations of the Crucible". Perhaps, what he hates is only this religious alienation that deviates from the fundamental principle.

Judge: Listen man, you had the deceased in your care. The court would like to hear the medical facts.
Dr. Richardson: If... if you'd, um... if you were to ask me again to write... um... the conclusion, then... instead of writing "neurotic" or, um, "psychotic" uh, I might... just, um... use a word like... "good".
Judge: Good?
Dr. Richardson: Yes.
Judge: You wish the records of this court to state that, in your medical opinion, the deceased was suffering from being good?
Judge: Perhaps this was the psychological defect that led her to her death!
Judge: Is that what we shall write Doctor Richardson?
Dr. Richardson: [pause] No. Of course not.

Bess McNeill: [as God] I am with you Bess. What do you want from me?
Bess McNeill: [overjoyed] Where where you?
Bess McNeill: [as God] Well don't you think I have other people who want to talk to me?
Bess McNeill: Well of course. I hadn't thought of that.
Bess McNeill: [as God] There's this silly little thing called Bess who keeps on wanting me to talk to her. And my work's been piling up a bit.
Bess McNeill: But you're with me now?
Bess McNeill: [as God] Of course I am, Bess. You know that.
Bess McNeill: Thank you.
