The film is about a group of people who come together because they hate the bourgeois hypocrisy that existed in European society at the time. Express your anger at the status quo by acting like an idiot. Paying idiots in a diner, doing eye-popping moves indoors swimming, sunbathing in the forest, fooling others in the driveway of a block house... in a place where no one will know who they are, All the absurdity and stupidity are inexplicably permitted and happen. However, when we think we can be a pure natural idiot and play tricks on the people around us in a seemingly innocuous way, does it mean that we have completely gotten rid of the orbit of the original life and thrown into the arms of another living space? ? Lars von Trier presents a paradox here. The behavior of idiots seems to be free throwing and cannot completely abandon the connection with the outside world. This group of people plays idiots, but not everyone can accept the real idiot state. There always seems to be something that appears, emerges and evokes the waking "you". Yes, as long as we live in the world, at every moment something keeps appearing to disturb that relatively primitive state we try to maintain; every second, the world changes its posture and constantly interacts with it. You have all kinds of relationships. Axl quits, and the art teacher decides to leave... The heroine Helen, accompanied by Susan, returns to her home full of painful memories. When she chooses to play an idiot and return to the real life, her family or her husband It's disappointing to see a sharp contrast to his previous idiotic state. Obviously, if you want to survive in this society, you must first adapt to the rules of the game she made. Except for the real madman and death, any means of trying to escape from this world are narrow and temporary.
Whether it is living under the steel blue sky of the city, or in a small village where time is infinitely stretched; being ruthlessly ridiculed by reality, repeatedly howling but no one applauds, running around and working hard and tired in exchange for a supreme body but also brings A scar. We all live in our own space. Even if we occasionally meet and deviate, we will eventually be drawn back to the track of life in the early Tang Dynasty by the dull and heavy things.
As a passage from Chateaubriand states: "Every man carries a world with him, a world of everything he has seen and loved, even if he seems to be in a different world. Traveling and living in the world, he still keeps going back to the world that he carried with him."
