Dogville

Was reading a review on Antichrist when i somehow wandered to the Wikipedia page on Dogville, which was by the same director. It was supposed to be a USA - Land of Opportunities trilogy of sorts but only got as far as the second installment "Manderlay"

Dogville seems like an interesting flim, althought the Antichrist got lambasted. Not sure about Manderlay though, as i never heard of it.

I particularly like this statement from the director:

According to von Trier, the point of the film is that "evil can arise anywhere, as long as the situation is right."

Hmm... Sounds about right. So what are the situations that Evil can arise easily?


  1. Enforcing your own beliefs on others

  2. Enforcing your own opinions without understanding the whole picture

  3. Blind obedience

  4. Protecting self interest
  5. Emotions like vengeance, jealousy, anger, etc
  6. anymore?
