    1. Lars von Trier once again extended the history of cinema. If the previous work [Female Addict] was an encyclopedia discussing female sexuality (and its rebellion against society), this film can be called a presentation of men's conspiracy against women. A quasi-thesis film about sexual violence (and its social rebellion). 2. Ideologically inherited the aestheticism of the end of the century - art is anti-morality, anti-life, anti-rational, anti-religion, visual face smashing, hunting family, milk cutting, genocide, and each chapter is interspersed with various art forms, Combined with the self-sophistication of the murderer, it seems to be beautiful with killing, evil, massacre and ugliness, but it is actually full of black humor and irony. 3. See also Lars's characteristic hand-held camera to reconstruct reality, Dante's Divine Comedy structure, which visualizes the mountains of corpses and blood in hell, and even pulls some audiences into the moral dilemma of identifying with criminals. 4. A collection of self-salutation fragments, a new realm of narcissism. 5. Hell and Paradise - the smell of mowing as a child, the juxtaposition of life and death (scythe harvesting). 6. The ending song is perfect. 7. Gothic church + corpse house & noble rot aesthetics of destruction = antichrist. 8. The dark light of the negative film and the shadow of walking between the street lamps change. (9.5/10)

    It's almost time to blacklist Lars von Trier. It's okay to accept a film that challenges or even spurns morality, but does it have to be called aesthetics, art, or philosophy? That's a hell of a lot...

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."
