I can watch it because of the male protagonist's appearance.

After watching so many movies, this is the first time I have seen scenes of real cruelty to small animals and children. Want to say that Denmark doesn't care about this? It also satirizes the social reality of Denmark.

Except for the male protagonist, the IQs of the other characters are negative, which is completely to match the whole mental journey of the murderer.

The paragraphs on the administration and deliberation of government are a bit long and far-fetched.

I didn't make it clear about the male protagonist's childhood, that is, why did the male protagonist become a murderer? Just because of seeing villagers weeding?

Finally, the male protagonist deserves a star for his looks.

    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)

    7. It also belongs to film essays, images, concepts, viewpoints... The good places are actually very interesting, but it is still long after watching it for a long time, and it will get tired. The plot itself is basically a comprehensive display of the details and inner heart of the serial killer, and some of the scenes are quite large-scale.

The House That Jack Built quotes

  • Jack: The old cathedrals often have sublime artworks hidden away in the darkest corners for only God to see. The same goes for murder.

  • Jack: Some people claim that the atrocities we commit in our fiction are those inner desires which we cannot commit in our controlled civilization, so they're expressed instead through our art. I don't agree. I believe Heaven and Hell are one and the same. The soul belongs to Heaven and the body to Hell.
