    ① The technique is almost extended from "Female Addict", but he created Satan's "Divine Comedy". It is not that Jack travels around hell and cannot enter heaven because he did not create a new Beatrice, but when he broke the duck's leg for the first time It has already been strangled, and the heaven is presented as a childhood appearance; ② The house serves as a shelter to protect human beings from exposure to the original universe, and building a house corresponds to survival, but Jack does not like constructive creation and instead advocates the aesthetics of ruins, preaching "expensiveness". "Corruption" is another devastating creation, denying Weegee's view that "you feel superior to others" and "you are objectifying human beings", seeing human beings as raw materials of art with a will, and being fundamentally different from Nazism ( Maybe it’s a high-sounding pretense); ③ Bad tastes (cleaning obsessive-compulsive disorder, breast purses, dragging a corpse in a trailer that resembles Kim Ki-duk’s “Saint”, etc.) is clearly dispelling seriousness, but it can be accompanied by accurate performance of bloody violence without ambiguity, Adding tension to the images also blurs the director's position. Those flashbacks to previous works cannot be identified as self-reflection or narcissism. Jack Kuxiao under the red cloak is a devil rather than a human being. This is not a demonstration of the evil of human nature.

    3.5 Virgil still failed to lead Faust out of hell in the end. Von Trier's film is obviously inferior to "Female Addict", with a lot of straightforward descriptions and discussions, but several murder scenes are still quite thrilling. Tyre is given as a seeker of all dark civilizations in human history, analyzing the spiritual world of a serial killer with obsessive-compulsive disorder, cleanliness, and misogyny in the opposition between immortality and decay, worship and trampling, and tigers and sheep. How many moments of ignorance are carried out in the name of civilization, the most extreme culture built by murderers, and the house built by the corpse is the most brilliant appearance of this culture, and the last part Von Trier began to justify himself, once the movie The cruel images and the tears of heaven and hell in the film, the antichrist turned out to be such a person who loves life, Von Trier is enthusiastic after all, every seemingly icy film is a flaming destruction of the mask of hypocrisy civilization

The House That Jack Built quotes

  • Verge: Why are they always so stupid?

    Jack: Who's stupid?

    Verge: All the women you killed, strike me as seriously unintelligent.

    Jack: I've also killed men.

    Verge: But you only talk about the stupid women. Unless you think all women are stupid.

    Jack: Well, the stories I've told were selected at random, but...

    Verge: You feel superior to women and want to brag. It turns you on, doesn't it Jack?

    Jack: No, no. But women are easier, not physically, they're just easier to work with. More cooperative.

    Verge: To kill, you mean?

    Jack: If you like. Mr. Sophistication believes in that theory.

    Verge: So... Mr. Sophistication is the theoretician?

  • Jack: Verge?

    Verge: I'm here, Jack.

    [pause]

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