      Dogville--A Brief Analysis of Multiple Thinking

      The first time I watched "Dog Town" was on a very quiet night. It was quiet and eerie. I didn't get any information about the film before, so I just watched it as a suspenseful commercial film by Nicole. It was only after reading it that I felt extremely shocked, as if someone had slapped my chest hard, and I fell asleep in bed for a long time. However, this movie is not for everyone to...

      Dogville--Female Jesus And Female Man

      When I saw a short comment saying "five stars are not enough", I liked it.

      Respect and worship are my last impressions. The film seemed to shout out my inner voice, a voice that had been suppressed for a long time; it also seemed to stab a sore spot. This is mainly about the theme of the film, and I am just talking about some of my own views...

      Nicole is so beautiful that it makes people suffocate, so beautiful that it affects her acting skills!

      The early works of the director of "Female Addict", the chapter-style performance, and the ambition of "Annie Hall" pioneering theatrical film attempt, wrapped in the script of the "Love in" series of talkative life philosophy, through "The Beauty of Sicily" The story of the goddess in a closed town like "Legend", to tell the greed and ugliness of human nature. Perhaps this world was originally made up of countless 'dog towns', good and bad, good and evil always in one thought, between the...

      hypocrite tom

      The director presents the whole film in a stage-style scene, which is very special. Everyone's actions are fully displayed on a flat space, and the door is opened and closed without physical performance.

      The first half makes people feel warm. At first, the residents of Dogtown were vigilant because of Grace's arrival, and it was an invasion-like resistance from outsiders. But Grace's two weeks of kind help changed the residents. Those 15 bells were the pinnacle of the best harmony...

      There is no real scene, the script is the soul, and the actors are the absolute subjects. The village is built entirely by people, and human nature and morality are the only three-dimensional things in the film. You can only hear the barking of the dog, but in fact, the villagers who look like dogs have already stood naked in front of the camera. The most striking thing is this idea. The creativity is very good, but the narrative is still too complicated, dull, and procrastinating, and many...

      Very neat, highly finished work. Disappointed with the ending, Grace ended up eliminating Dogtown's behavior, but just made it one of them, according to her moral standards - should be self-defeating. Both grace and the residents of Dogtown finally chose to use privilege to trample their own values ​​on the values ​​of others (the director called it arrogant), abandoning communication and respect—that is, voluntarily relinquishing privilege, they are essentially the...

      The form of expression shines brightly, and the chatterbox is as always; the crowd who rest on their laurels exposes the weaknesses of human nature. The chapter in which the nature of the villagers is revealed is thrilling, perhaps that is what everyone really looks like. In the seemingly normal life around, it's just that more people can better suppress and control the "evil" in their hearts and have no courage to pursue their...

      10 years ago, I would have had a five-star rating, but one of the hallmarks of a moviegoer's maturity is whether he scoffed at a movie like Dogtown. We ordinary people must keep the bottom line of truth and kindness, and stand up to coercion and temptation. For this reason, we can abandon beauty and art without hesitation, otherwise you may become the mother of the child who died first, or become a murderer. ....

    Evaluation action

    "Dog Town" uses an independent and free but weak and delicate girl to launch an experiment about the good and evil of human nature. The film brings humanity into a state of selfishness, ugliness, and hypocrisy, and then shows the distinction between urban and rural areas, modernity and tradition, and reflects on the overall development of human civilization. The film borrows the stage play in form, the space environment is in vain, and...

    Movie quotes

    • [after being left the "last man standing"]

      Tom: Bingo, Grace, bingo. I have to tell you, your illustration, it beat the hell out of mine. It's frightening, yes, but so clear. Do you think I can allow myself to use it as a inspiration in my writing?

    • Tom: I think if Dogville had any significant symbolic meaning it wouldn't have an ordinary name like Dogville.

    • Grace: So I'm arrogant? I'm arrogant because I forgive people.

      The Big Man: My God,can't you see how condescending you are when you say that? I mean you have-- you have this preconceived notion that nobody, listen-- that nobody can possibly attain the same high ethical standards as you, so you exonerate them. I cannot-- I cannot think of anything more arrogant than that.
