WTH??!!!!!
I read that Lars Von Trier was having some phscycological and emotional issues before and during the making of this...antichrist!
Seriously i'm a huge fan of Dogville and Manderline, but watching this story was probably one of the darkest 1hr40minutes of my filmwatching life.
i've watched a few dark movies and i'm aware that some European film makers like to dish it out fresh,raw and in your face.In my opinion, if you have a dark story to tell and the only way to express Truth is to shock the audience,ok- i can dig and appreciate it.If there is some good meat to be found ,i'll find it.
At the end of this movie i was void of any productive thought....just WTH and WTFF!(and this went on through the film). In short- i didn't get it! What was Lars trying to tell me about 'woman hatred'.
Lots of lustful cruelty...and even as i write this,perharps there was a story-telling theme in it all...but it seemed to be more about lustful cruelty. Maybe i don't understand, and need to watch it again-but i don't have the stomach,i have enough mess in my head...PERHARPS this was Lars's intention/message(?)-Man has a high potential to do unspeakable crap and everlasting good.
Ambitous editing and strong parable like dialogue.
paraphrased quote from this story-"Man has the power to do whatever he conceives in his mind"
Feel better Lars

I've been made to understand that i can be quite opinionated about the movies we see, and fancy myself insightful on matters of stories on film(or screen). So i'm here to blab and blog about film(heart warming cliche maybe?) i love film. An unofficial good film critic here to pound out what I think...In My Humble Opinion.
