What about the dog?

In front of the piles of corpses, Tom, the last survivor in this town, his hoarse begging for mercy was like the moaning of a dying stray dog, floating around the town, but unable to change his destiny, five seconds later , Lelis pulled the trigger behind him, and a gunshot rang out, making this dog town that was noisy yesterday completely quiet...



In conventional logic, the end of a movie is always hidden. With a victory, it contains the destruction of the evil, the freedom of the good, the calm smile of the old, the innocent smile of the child... But "Dog Town" is very disobedient. What it gives to the good is death, It was a total victory for the predators, so that all the children who the director could not bear to kill all died under the guns of the men in black. Maybe at the end, he thought that all these evil tastes were not enough, and Lars von Trier used Lei Liz, the cruelty of such a woman comes to a terrifying end to the film.

If you think this is "Dogtown", then director Lars von Trier undoubtedly used his wisdom to slap the out-of-context people with a loud slap in the face.

The muzzle of the gun is the most mysterious hole in the world. Its magic power can make a poor rogue instantly become a rich man in the bank, and it can also make a mentally handicapped instant achieve absolute dictatorship within a radius of 50 meters. But there are no hooligans and mentally retarded in the dog town. There is only a peaceful life and a group of well-behaved townspeople. There is no offense or defense in their life dictionary, like a group of loyal and self-sufficient watchdogs. They should have slept peacefully in the middle of history, but the arrival of a woman pierced their muscles like the tip of a needle.

The way a dog greets a stranger is always resisting with a roar. A good breed dog roars to defend the owner's privilege here, and an inferior dog roars just to keep his familiarity here. There is no dog barking in "Dog Town", or even a decent close-up of the dog, but there are a group of criticisms that reject the strange as well as the dog. This kind of sound is a silent silence, no matter whether the stranger Relis No matter how much despair and panic there was in her eyes, they would instantly shut her down, and they would blast her away with silent protests until an alternative appeared.

Bah! The back of Tom's head felt warm, and he became the last person to die in this town. But four months ago, the first person he stood up to keep was the murderer behind him, Lelis. ]

Seventeen bells rang, pulling Reylce from hell back to heaven. Tom used eloquence and persuasion to let the town pass Reylce to stay in Dogtown with unanimous votes. When "Dog Town" was about to become a standard nostalgic emotional film, "the dog" barked!

If a woman's beauty can only awaken love, then her beauty is far from extreme. Lelis's beauty awakens sympathy, love, and disaster. A cowardly vegetable farmer, a timid truck driver, and an old man with no power to restrain his chickens, the sense of evil in the heart of a simple neighbor that he has never dared to touch, fully awakened in front of her kind and weak body, sexual assault, this The crime that seemed the most legitimate, had been crushed on him like a wheel, and when the struggle and the law had been completely suppressed by the body and intimidation, the only thing she had to do was lie on the floor, in the truck, in the big bed and endure the town. Torture of all men, except Tom.

Sympathy is the most childish lie between the opposite sex. For a woman, a man's right hand is the source of the lie. In the first second, he touches your cheek and pats the dust to show sympathy. In the second, it will slide to your chest and squeeze Your tits make you sympathize with his libido. In "Dog Town", there are countless such right hands. They just use the low cost of smiling to exchange for an evil satisfaction. Instinct and Lelis's panic make the lewdness from legal to habit again and again. Men who previously had no fighting spirit competed wildly over women's bodies, turning human tragedy into communism for everyone.

From heaven to hell, from good to evil, from cowardice to strength, what makes a man slide from one extreme to the other is not airplanes, banknotes or aphrodisiac pills, but the beauty of a strange woman plus a little weakness, Like the October Revolution and the Renaissance, it can easily overturn the human nature of a town that has been painstakingly accumulated for hundreds of years. "In the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good." In Dogtown, the kindness in this sentence seems too vague and can't stand scrutiny, or it is just a prop prepared for evil in the future.

Thanks to the pistol, the city finally regained its original kindness and weakness. When Lailis's gangster father came looking for him, everyone in the dog town was reduced to bereaved dogs. The houses that were set ablaze illuminated faces of frightened faces, and the bullets fired did not spare a single body until Tom was the only survivor left in the town, and Relis finally stopped the massacre.

Tom is not incompetent, but he is the only person in town who doesn't have sex with Leris. From the beginning of resisting and leaving Leris, to the weakness of turning a blind eye to rape, another extreme exposes him. All the illusions of bravery, and the irony is that the only bravery he left behind Reli became the key to unlocking the door to the sin of Dogtown, the accomplice, the crime that crucified Tom, let his heart split with him Lailisi's schizophrenia together, forming a heavy sadness that penetrates every corner of "Dogtown".

In return for the love that Tom had given, she pushed away her father's gun and shot him with her own bullets, instead of her last kiss, but after Tom fell, she also "died".

The effect of the theater, households are only separated by horizontal lines, but there is no baffle in the creative setting of urban life, so that the fission of human nature in "Dog Town" is exposed to the sun, and the indifference to crime after the extinction of human nature Expressed to the extreme, the chapter-style narration technique, and the heavy narration dubbing, people can't help but look forward to the sequel to Lars von Trier's "Dark Night Variations".

    Lars von Trier is a lunatic lunatic lunatic! ! !

    Is this a movie that teaches people to be evil? No, it just tells us that there is a species in the world called human. Wonderful test field, the end of the film is so addictive to the degree of suffocation that "Kill the child first, let the mother watch", well, I am also a human being, and I am happy to be sexually cruel.

Dogville quotes

  • Narrator: How could she ever hate them for what was at bottom merely their weakness? She would probably have done things like those that had befallen her if she had lived in one of these houses. To measure them by her own yardstick, as her father put it. Would she not, in all honesty, have done the same as Chuck and Vera and Ben and Mrs Henson and Tom and all these people in their houses? Grace paused and as she did, the clouds scattered and let the moonlight through, and Dogville underwent another of those little changes of light. It was as if the light previously so merciful and faint finally refused to cover up for the town any longer. Suddenly, you could no longer imagine a berry that would appear one day on a gooseberry bush, but only see the thorn that was there right now. The light now penetrated every unevenness and flaw in the buildings and in the people. And all of a sudden, she knew the answer to her question all too well. If she had acted like them, she could not have defended a single one of her actions and could not have condemned them harshly enough. It was as if her sorrow and pain finally assumed their rightful place. No. What they had done was not good enough. And if one had the power to put it to rights, it was one's duty to do so - for the sake of other towns, for the sake of humanity and not least, for the sake of the human being that was Grace herself.

  • Narrator: [as McKay explores even further with his hand] It was not Grace's pride that kept her going during the days when fall came and the trees were losing their leaves, but more of a trance like state that descends on animals whose lives are threatened - a state in which the body reacts mechanically in a low tough gear, without too much painful reflection. Like a patient passively letting his disease hold sway.
