I don't like this way of shooting

Although the shooting method is more personal, but this personality is not very colorful. It feels like some so-called performance art nowadays, trying to be different, but it is actually very boring. I think if it weren't for this drama-style shooting method, the shock of the whole movie to the audience would be stronger. Watching this movie has been spent in dullness, and Nicole's slow speech rate makes people drowsy.
The storyline reminds me of a report I read before, saying that a female reporter saw the hardships of migrant workers and wanted to fight for their rights. One day she was gang-raped by these migrant workers. In the end, the female reporter brought these migrant workers to court, and there were only blank eyes in the dock. . . . Sympathy gets hurt. Since then I have stopped sympathizing with anyone, and there must be something to hate about poor people, and maybe this is true.

Dogville quotes

  • Narrator: [as Grace attempts to make her case] If forgiveness was close at hand in the mission house, they were all hiding it well. It hadn't been easy for Tom to get them there. Appealing to consciences stowed farther and farther away by their owners every day, as if they were as fragile as Henson's glasses after polishing, proved quite a task. But if one was going, the others might as well come along too, so nobody could talk behind anybody's back.

  • Narrator: And then it was as if Dogville just waited. Even the wind dropped, leaving the town in an unfamiliar calm. As if somebody had put a large cheese dish cover over it, and created the kind of quietness that descends while you're awaiting visitors.
