This is a film that tests our tolerance

Directed by Danish cattleman, Dogma95 initiator and spokesperson von Trier. This is a film that tests our ability to bear. It can be said to challenge the existing electric inspection system and the moral standards of the audience. The theme of the film is quite clear - do you believe in "idiot philosophy"? Those men and women who pretend to be stupid go everywhere to deceive and deceive "normal people". Many of them have legitimate jobs and complete families. They are basically decent middle class. They pretend to be "idiots" in order to practice "idiot philosophy" and enjoy the fun of being "idiots". They were really happy, at least they thought so; they were united and collectivist, but chaos was inevitable; they were doomed to break up in the end... Von Trier was indeed a great man, and he rudely referred to the "philosophy of idiots" Throw it to you, and then stand on the sidelines, watching you pick up "Idiot Philosophy" or take a detour...
Besides, the shots of the film are very bold, and there is an A-movie "group sex" scene...
Von Trier's film I've watched "Breaking the Waves," "Dancer in the Dark," and "Dog Town." It's hard to evaluate his films, but it's not wrong to use the word "cow" - maybe he himself is more "cow" than his films, and he even gave the judges of the Cannes Film Festival the middle finger!
Like other "good men" directors such as Nagisa Oshima, Pasolini, etc., von Trier was once a Communist!
