I Am A ROBOT I can get that. But I think it supposed to be blunt and obnoxious because it’s being told from the view of a lunatic sociopath. The exaggerated stories and the cocky and blunt monologues. Not a huge Von Trier guy but I did like the way this was done here.

It is not just about killing. Or even art. It's analogy for all urges. Compulsive ones. It works for a lot of things whether the underlying factor is psychopathy, addiction, "nymphomania", OCD, or the drive to make art.

​@@ethanordorica2808 yeah, its kind of just a descriptive truism. You do something, let's say to fill a void (or more accurately, to escape pain). You're briefly satisfied. Then as time goes by you become less satisfied and more in pain, until you do it again. Drive-reduction theory, etc. etc. the metaphor is ultimately uninteresting and sheds no light on anything UNLESS you deduce from it that the solution is to stop at the midway point and face the pain, and that that is what maturity is... but Jack never derives anything deeper from the metaphor.

I've seen so many films and have kind of lost interest... So, I've been doing shit amateur arts and crafts and writing myself (occasionally even getting some bread and water on the table). And the other night I decided to rent this for 2 pounds of hard-earned cash... I'm not a fan of Lars, but this one -the serial killer theme aside - is so pure, nihilistic and artistic at the same time it can make as much mockery as it wishes. Ego well served. Completely different level. Absolute auteur.

I read that a lot, but what are you trying to say by that? I am pretty sure almost every movie is "in love with it self" because why would someone want to make it otherwise? (I am not talking about blockbusters) - Anyway, the movie also can be so self indulgent, because of the Verge character that clearly sees through the narcistic nature of the movie. As does any reflected human starts to see through his own narcisistic traits. I am sure Lars at least was at some point very full of himself and to a degree still is. But this movie shows that he is aware of it, has a counter voice that is asking the right questions and channels his energy into his work as a release instead of becoming, oh I don't know... a serial killer? :D

@@YodaOnABenderimo the film is a satire of serial killer movies on one level, and destructive nihilism as a viewpoint on the other. Jack provides many glorified descriptions of his actions (murder is art, being a predator is natural, I embrace being a psychopath), but Verge counters them by calling them tedious and uninspired. To decide that everything is equal, both good and evil, so that you can relish in the evil without guilt, is an idea that is portrayed as the opposite of powerful. While the film is incredibly pretentious at first glance, I think this is a device to mock serial killer content. It actually does seriously delve into the mind of a psychopath, but this may be the only film that makes an effort not to glorify it. It’s a cold, brutal case study disguised as a dramatic art piece, that also mocks dramatic art pieces on the subject
