Kino or edgy garbage?

Hello.
I'm the uh... police...
I see that you're a fan of... anime... and uh... the anime convention had uh.... big... prize give away...
For you Anon.
Mind if I come in for a second?

Second incident is one of the best things LvT has done, I love his sense of humor so much. Also yea, almosh definitely his last film. His Inland Empire, you could say.

iktf but why desu?

It still looks like AI slop, you can tell it's some pretentious faggot shit

i don't know why but i always conflate The Cabin In The Woods with this movie

it's actually retardedly kino, trust me, i'm an eternal hater but it's good

I turned it off when he was killing that woman and her kid in the field from the hunting stand. I thought this film would be amazing from the trailer, but I got no joy or satisfaction from the movie as I watched it. Perhaps that serves me right.

biting bait

What would I possibly get out of it? In the best-case scenario it would be well-made enough to disturb me and fuck up my mood, and if it was mediocre I'd be polluting my mind for literally no reason

I used to have more of an interest or at least tolerance for darker stuff like this, but I can't be bothered with it anymore

It was kino. I still think about it, the hell tour was legitimately great.
Any scene that was pretentious was obviously meant to be viewed as a reflection of Jack's own pretentious nature, like him standing in an alley with the cards and his own Mr. Sophistication moniker.

The basic idea is if you do bad shit without any form of repentance or regret you go to hell. That's the basic message of the movie.
The depiction of hell is excellent, drawn from Dante's Inferno. In fact the whole movie is Vergil talking with Jack and growing increasingly disgusted by not only Jack's actions, but Jack's fondness of them.
For me the most memorable moments were the least disturbing, though there's certainly some extremely dark imagery.
To answer your question you'd get an entertaining rumination of a pretty common-sense theme.

I always wondered, that if Jack truly regretted what he'd done, and Vergil listened to that regret and desire to repent, would Vergil have lead Jack to Purgatory instead? Would his opinion have been markedly different from the revulsion and pity he felt instead?

Yeah I don't doubt it's a good version of a serial-killer movie, I just don't have an interest in watching a bunch of people get horrifically murdered for no good reason regardless of what the final message is

I'm not judging, when I was 17 or 18 I probably would've watched this and felt like I got something out of it, I just lost my taste for stuff like this

oh you're a pussy, got it.

Just curious, are you christian by any chance?

I can handle violence, I'm just disinterested in spending time on sadism or nihilism if I can avoid it

If you were serious you'd never use the internet again besides in an academic fashion and just read books and shit. But here you are on Anon Babble shitting up my beautiful threads.

I mean sure, I get you.
Part of what I liked about it is it doesn't really get into the killings as much as I would've thought. It's a lot less edgy than something like terrifier. All of the killings serve the plot, and mostly you only see the aftermath of those killings, often in very brief moments.
The sadism in the film is portrayed not only negatively, but also as somewhat cringeworthy and pathetic.
As for nihilism, it's about as far from nihilistic as it gets. I'd even call it a movie that atheists could never understand.

Not particularly. I was raised Catholic and I believe in God in some vague form, but I'm not religious

Fair enough, I'm judging something I haven't seen

Fair enough. also see and spend your time frolicking through fields of green or whatever you moralfags do instead of rotting here.

This. After decades of bullshit and edgy movies just to get reactions he finally matured and delivered some proper kino.

woah! Dante's Inferno illustrated by Gustav Dore

he doesnt know about the Divine Comedy and Gustav's illustrations of it

I loved this movie.

Lars Von Trier is over the hill. He's done a lot of drugs. The last time I saw him, he was asking my wife for sex. He found some other slut

If the movie has a handsome actor as the lead it's automatically kino

Both. It's well filmed but the subject matter is just snuff.

it's actually Delacroix

it's pure enhanced kinography on the highest level, one of the few 10/10s. Enjoy.

joy or satisfaction

Films are not a blowjob, there is more complex emotions than "make me feel good' to be explored.

I thought it was stupid

this is what you look like

Lmao

It's a great film, definitely recommend it if you can handle the subject matter. I really only have two complaints with it.

That scene where the camera is spinning in a circle for like two minutes was extremely obnoxious and I had to look away because it was giving me a headache. Not sure why it went on for so long.

That part where Verge or Jack mentions "real art" or something and a montage of Von Trier's OWN films starts playing. I actually said "Oh fuck off" out loud when I saw that. Needless, completely irrelevant masturbation in a film that has no reason to be there.

it's just advanced kinography on a higher level than most humans can accept. Pure.

It's kind of a commentary on his own work and pretentiousness anon. It was sort of the point he sees his work as the body house, just sucking his own farts as you put it and it's just gross and over the top.

I thought it was kino my dad thought it was edgy garbage

is your dad over 55?

Yes he has since passed but he was either 59 60 or 61 when we watched it and I was in my early 30s to be honest. He usually gets annoyed by "pretentious" artsy films. Feel like it has to do with his mood.
He didnt really bitch until the end I feel like if the movie just ended before the last what the 20 to 30 minutes after he enters the house he built he wouldve probably said it was ok. But the movies finale was the this movie is bullshit for him

makes sense. RIP to your dad.

Too silly to be edgy. Too retarded to be kino.
Effectively all of Trier's filmography.

Don't bother anon. You're just growing up.

Kino, but you need to watch his other films in order to understand the house that jack built from external-meta perspective

Good but should have been about a Chicago Drill rapper. Still played by Matt Dillon tho.

Films are not a blowjob

They are voyeurism tho. If a film isn't vicariously sadistic or vicariously masochistic then into the trash it goes.

just sucking his own farts as you put it and it's just gross and over the top.

Admitting something is gross and pretentious doesn't stop it from being gross and pretentious. There was no reason for Lars to insert himself into the movie like that. Why do art-film lovers always excuse public masturbation? I don't get it.

giga kino of the highest order

This shit sucks

regardless of its "quality."

Its not even quality. It was really boring. I made it about halfway and turned it off. I get the ending is suppose to be some epic twist but its meh, should have made a more interesting movie so people get to the ending
