God is merciful, but he still destroys Sodom!

I haven't had time to watch this long film, but the drama-like scene has always attracted me. The weak and kind Grace makes me feel distressed. I have been looking forward to her outbreak for two hours.

What is Dogtown? It represents human sin and reminds me of the story of Sodom in the Bible. Even the most merciful person could not forgive such a place filled with so much evil. So in the end, it has to be destroyed.

All along, the poor have always been pitied against the ruthless rich. The most striking thing about this film is that it mercilessly points out the cruelty and sin of the poor. Even the last documentary pictures seem to be unable to express anger towards those poor people until they are released. God is merciful, but he still destroys Sodom!

    The Virgin of the White Lotus turned black too late. In addition to being depressed, there is no pleasure in watching the film, and the dark side of human nature has not been thoroughly analyzed. I don't know what the effect of shooting Quentin will be.

Dogville quotes

  • Grace: I think the world would be better without Dogville.

  • Grace: What? What is it?

    Tom: A man can't really be blamed for being scared, now can he?

    Grace: No.

    Tom: No. I was scared, Grace. I used you and I am sorry. I'm stupid, I am, maybe even arrogant sometimes.

    Grace: You are, Tom.

    Tom: Although using people is not very charming, I think you have to agree that this - specific illustration has surpassed all expectations. It says so much about being human! It's been painful, but I think you'll also have to agree it's been edifying, wouldn't you say?

    Grace: Not now, Tom. Not now.

    [Grace walks away and reenters The Big Man's car]

    Grace: If there is any town this world would be better without, this is it.
