Can I violate you?

Darkness, what is darkness? Or what is the biggest obstacle and harm to a person who is walking along the trajectory of his own life?
In this film, the darkness comes from someone around you, someone's aggression combined with deep human needs and animal instincts, aggression against the person he thinks can be violated, that is, you. would you ask? Why would it be me? Because at the moment when his heart was soft, he took off his mask like you and used it to face the bleak life. Unfortunately, you also showed your most vulnerable point like him. So, you succeeded in establishing a kind and weak image in his heart.
When the tortured face beyond recognition is seen, it will first change from self-pity to needing pity and care from others. This person can only be you. Who let you see him under the mask? The kind-hearted you comforted him. After receiving the comfort, he will want to climb out of the predicament further, just like a person struggling in the water, he will try to ask you to help him make up his unrecognizable face. The price is to use a portion of your life to crystallize. Of course, you will not agree that what you have pursued with your life is all you have, how can you give it to others casually? Although you are kind, although he is indeed pitiful, even if you cannot help him, you will feel sad. But don't underestimate the deep animal nature of human nature. If you don't give anything to be afraid of, I can grab it. After grabbing it, he found that his body couldn't bear this face, and he couldn't easily give it back to you. He felt that he had become a bad person. If he gave it to you, wouldn't he become a good person again? Maybe you can't understand why he's like this, just like he can't understand himself, not even a policeman.
You don't have to understand why this happens, it's our nature as a creature. The reason I'm not like this sometimes is just because you haven't been so lucky, you haven't seen the unrecognizable face under my mask, and I don't see you as a kind and weak person who can be violated.

    75/100 1 One of the conscience trilogy, I only know about Lars von Trier only in "Dog Town". I like it very much. I can only say it's okay. 2 The camera shakes my head, especially this one. The good thing about this forced face-pulling shot is that it really allows you to focus all your attention on the heroine, but the bad thing actually widens my distance from the movie. Foolishness, halo, saint, these words are my impressions. I can't see the director's position and don't think it's an expression of praising mother's love and escaping from reality. The fantasy of the 3 songs is full of contrast with the silence of reality. I like the train scene, the money grab and the murder and the end of the court, especially the hysterical screaming and the silence after the end of the hanging. 4 "Why did you give birth to him? I just want to hold a little baby in my arms." "I'll leave the theater at the end of the second song so the movie will never end." ps that Cannes "Devils Are Coming", "One One", "In the Mood for Love" and Palme d'Or? ?

    Although I can't stand Lars' shaking shots, Bjork's looks and singing voice, it still can't erase the greatness of this movie. The American dream built under the hypocritical middle class is a bubble that bursts when it is touched. Most people are in it without knowing it, and the dream is broken and still has illusions. Falling into the abyss after a daydream is not one person's fault, nor is it an exception.

Dancer in the Dark quotes

  • Norman: She said Communism was - better for human beings.

    District Attorney: She had nothing but contempt for our great country and it's principals.

    Norman: Apart from it's musicals! She said the American one - the American ones were better.

    District Attorney: So, the defendant preferred Hollywood to Vladivostok.

  • District Attorney: If this relationship was made up by the defendant, then, can you think of any way she might have come to know your name?

    Oldrich Novy: I was once well known in Czechoslovakia, because of my profession.

    District Attorney: Yes, Mr. Oldrich Novy, what is your profession? Maybe that can give us a clue to why, why this somewhat romantic, certainly Communistic, woman who worships Fred Astaire, but not his country, why she might have lied and misused your name - make everybody think that all the money was spent on a poor father and not on her own vanity. What is it that you do?

    Oldrich Novy: I was an actor. I made films - they were musicals.
