I understand how a lot of people can be, and throw up. I don't really understand why people laugh at the "chaos reigns" line, probably out of nervousness or confusion.<br /><br />Von Trier claimed he didn't have as much control of the film as he would have liked, so maybe he could even take it farther, which would be crazy to imagine. His films have always alarmed audiences. The ones I've seen sort of depress me and make me lose hope in humanity for a few hours or days, but after thinking about them, I always feel glad I saw them and end up admiring them. <br /><br />I just think that it's great to see a major director and well-known actors take this risk. This film is about fear, so its good to see it being indulged to the audience. In the end, it's a cinematic experience worth living.Bob Clapeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376706827160956997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778727886399012859.post-56114450032728117312009-12-02T08:36:00.302-08:002009-12-02T08:36:00.302-08:00Based on the trailer I was extremely excited to se...Based on the trailer I was extremely excited to see this film. I watched the trailer over and over waiting in eager anticipation for it's release. As it turns out I walked out of the theater feeling underwhelmed.<br /><br />My favorite part by far is the cinematography. Every shot looked like a painting... the color, lighting and overall aesthetic of the film is amazing. The best I have seen in a while. <br /><br />My main problems the film lied within the fact that Von Trier showed absolutely no self-restraint when it came to this movie. It seemed like whatever popped into his head at the time was packed into the film without second thought or any sort of revision. The only thing that bothers me about the more controversial scenes is that I felt like they were put there for pure shock value, and in my opinion this cheapens what could have been an excellent movie.<br /> <br />As for audience reactions... A girl threw up a few minutes after the genital mutilation scene. Also, I'm pretty positive that Von Trier did not intend for this film to be a comedy but there were quite a few times in which the audience erupted in laughter (talking fox).<br /><br />But, to each his own.<br /><br />-TarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778727886399012859.post-89625883627778954862009-12-02T07:11:28.145-08:002009-12-02T07:11:28.145-08:00Que pedo bob, me latió bastante tu reseña man a ve...Que pedo bob, me latió bastante tu reseña man a ver cuando sale por aquí la movie, te mando un abrazo y nos vemos en diciembre cuando regreses.Deibidnoreply@blogger.com
