How is the horror atmosphere of "This House I Made" created?

Seeing only one comment (although it's off the topic) I can't help but spit out, I feel that this big brother (sister) is looking upside down! I want to direct. I can bleed Qiqiqiao.

Personally, I feel that this precise, perfect, and narcissistic serial murderer who regards massacre as the highest artwork is precisely the "big artists" that the director is trying to satirize, especially those who use art as a shield. To put it bluntly, they are a perverted murderous monster named Sophistry! Especially when it was raining, it was very clear, "Although I am not religious enough, the heavy rain was the moment when I felt the miracle the deepest." Then the leader replied, "The God you think is actually the incarnation of the devil."

It's so straightforward, why don't I understand my mother? My mother is really annoying!

I feel that the director has made the ultimate criticism of those artists who especially claim to be the ultimate and artistic beauty, and it is precisely at the end that the theme is revealed:

"Jack, is your house not built?"

"Sorry, I didn't stick to it."

In fact, just as the lines have already told everything, Jack said that when the ideal house in his mind is difficult to realize, the leader was straightforward-to put it bluntly, you people who do bad things under the guise of art and don’t have love in your heart for the highest pursuit of art, but They are all "Mediocre". Isn't this the best counterattack for a person who loves art?

"You think you are special but you are not."

The rebuttal case cannot be more clear. When Jack describes the beauty of the massacre and the importance of the symbol (to be honest, this is a very ironic, because the artists, may I ask who is not a lifelong pursuit of becoming a symbol), the leader Only told him that in that Nazi concentration camp, an ordinary but extraordinary oak tree, where Goethe thought.

This paragraph is simply human light, too literary, and basically a fatal blow. I personally think that this paragraph is basically what the director really wants to express.

Friends who saw violent aesthetics in it were really confused. This... can you see aesthetic violence at best? ? ? Can these two be the same thing? ? ? It feels completely different. How about saying that after the broadcast of "A Clockwork Orange", a lot of young people followed him to commit crimes. To put it bluntly, they wanted to pursue a "symbol". I feel that the director took great pains to let everyone return to "the true essence of art is love." , It turned out to be a sensory entertainment tool, which is really miserable.

To answer the theme, the horrible atmosphere may be due to the confrontation between beauty and brutality. Personally, it is just that the director has completely physicalized and biologicalized "killing" and turned it into bloody brutality, expressing his feelings in the most profound way he thinks. Thought.

And those spiritual slaves, cruel, and "for the art" slaves who have never seen blood, have never seen their true colors, and can only realize that their most important things have already been before the window of heaven. have.

And disgusting, how can I put it, if under the film classification system, "the existence of this kind of film does not have any positive meaning to the world" is too extreme, really, one has to suspect that there are too many dermabrasion films. Understand the resilience of the world.

In fact, seeing the real ugliness is also a kind of courage. There was Green River Killer in ancient times, Dark Web, Zhang Yingying (if you look up the details of the crime, including abuse, beheading, and the murderer’s posture without regret or even wanting to laugh, you will be sure that the devil is really in the world), those Fortunately, the darkness that has not been touched, we can only be fortunate, but it can never mean their elimination.

    Either the name will go down in history or it will be stinking for thousands of years, Lars Von Trier is about to explode again! As a fan, I just want to say that it is refreshing and uncomfortable. Many shots are simply... It is a dialogue movie like "Female Addicts". It also flashed back all of his previous works, and pays homage to himself like Jia Zhangke?. However, the lack of depth is obviously inferior to the ideas of "Depression" and "Female Addicts". Satan's Hell's Scythe is too straightforward.

    I can’t score or encourage people who haven’t watched it, but he’s done to the extreme and he’s far more sincere than his previous works. I’ll tell you that he’s a Nazi corpse, anti-social and anti-humanist in the field of film. The serial murderer is narcissistic and sincerely takes the initiative to book tickets to hell To behave in broad daylight, and this kind of behavior can just do whatever you want/The whole narrative is placed in the framework of the Divine Comedy Dialogue with Virgil The whole film can be regarded as a cruel anti-humanity thread in the Western art history, and the footnote to Blake's poetry Seeing that I really want to vomit, the audience who left the scene reached the most in the passage of breast cutting. I even want to thank him for not using a long lens to shoot these processes / completely relying on rationality. Words: Go to Hell!

  • Jack: Verge?

    Verge: I'm here, Jack.

    [pause]

    Jack: I don't feel so good Verge. There's a sour taste in my mouth.

    Verge: You want me to show you the way to the next whisky bar?

  • Jack: I can tell you're lapping it up when I tell you about Mr. Sophistication: "So, Jack hears voices that order him to do this, or do that, Jack must be psychotic!". I loathe diagnoses you can just write down in letters.

    Verge: That's not fair. The letters are clear. They look after us, don't create boundaries between good and evil, and they carry religion.

    Jack: Religion has ruined human beings, because your God teaches people to deny the tiger in themselves. Turns us all into a throng of slaves, too shameful to acknowledge it.

    Verge: Oh Jack, you should have read the right letters in your life, but you didn't want to.
