Man from hell

Jack likes to compare himself to a tiger, and the victim to a lamb. In fact, in the seemingly cruel law of the jungle, the lamb has the right to spot danger and escape in time. In modern society, morality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He relies on his own IQ and others' obedience to morality to kill uncontrollably, and the tiger's killing of lambs for survival are completely two concepts.

Jack is an sm lover, an extreme self-interested person who believes in solipsism without feelings-to obtain pleasure through sadism, and completely treat others as tools to satisfy his own desires.

From the dialogue between Jack and the messenger, we can see that there is a strong interest in art, but art itself is created by humans and contains human emotions. As a non-human being, how can Jack experience the true beauty of art? His love for art, I'm afraid this is stuck on the surface-a kind of order or exquisiteness. Therefore, he can never really feel the enthusiasm of the artist's heart, and he can never design an architectural work that satisfies him, is as admirable and cleverly conceived as a Gothic church-even if he knows a lot of With knowledge of building materials and design principles, he can only use the spoils to build a corpse house that can hold his body. His fascination with mowing seems to be just because of his pursuit of absolute order. The connection between him and the so-called art seems to be mainly due to the obsessive-compulsive disorder that has plagued him.

I hope the audience will put moral aside when watching this movie. At least most people, in extreme anger, have hoped that the other party will disappear or even kill the other party immediately, and the director chose to unreservedly or even deliberately magnify these evil thoughts and show them in front of the audience. While the picture causes discomfort, we should also reflect on those ugly moments in life and imagine the consequences of these ideas if they are realized.

Of course, it can also be understood as a sci-fi movie --- telling about the experience of a man from another world (hell) in the world. It feels like a terminator.

For directors and actors, I think there is nothing to criticize. 1. People engage in film art in a down-to-earth manner. This is a sincere work that is not routine and does not aim to collect money. 2. People did not instigate or glorify violence. Instead, they exposed the violence in front of you to arouse your discomfort. 3. In fact, the director is also telling you a fact from the perspective of God: no matter what the fucking three weird views you have, you live in this society, breathe the air of this society, and enjoy the benefits of this society. You have to obey the rules of society. If you fucking do something anti-social and anti-human every day, you will have to be discovered by the police one day, and then you will be sent to the hometown of hell where you should go.

The director did reveal a kind of narcissism of "My thoughts are so peculiar and awesome" in this film, but I actually like this kind of thing-as long as you really have something .

Another: 1. This film has seriously aroused my interest in European films, and this director has already attracted my attention. 2. I heard that this film also includes the director’s interpretation of the Nazis’ views in another film of his own. I think of Hitler when I think of Nazis. The university teacher mentioned that Hitler killed Jews without blinking his eyes, but he could because A little bird shed tears when he died, thinking that this shows the contradiction of human nature. But I think this is not a contradiction, it is just because in his non-mainstream values, the value of a Jew is far less than the value of a bird. I learned that Hitler likes to plant trees and loves nature. From the perspective of the earth, Hitler may be the best candidate if he has to be taken care of by humans; but from the perspective of humans, Hitler is absolutely anti-human and must be defeated. How to judge whether a person is evil, in fact, mainly depends on the definition of evil. From this point of view, value judgment is really difficult.

    A letter of confession, confession, eulogy, and hymn dedicated to Lars von Trier. First, the director constantly overthrows and accepts the curse to comfort the self-absorbed and powerless self, and completes self-abuse in the image of an abuser. Only by forcing himself into the most extreme darkness can he recognize the most subtle light. Second, the director creates all kinds of terrifying situations that challenge the viewer's bottom line like a work of art, and lure everyone to release the ghosts that have been hidden in their hearts for a long time. All discomfort, numbness, fear and pleasure are the projections of your own subconscious. Third, all the ultimate artists or politicians, such as the immortal greats and sinners who stand on the top of no one, are aiming at the unreachable light years away, on this rough road without a frame of reference. In , everything becomes a fuzzy area, and the unknown is the most dangerous and perfect other side.

    The director's talent has declined sharply, and the dialogue, shots, and overall concept have completely collapsed.

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."
