Analyzing Evil: Jack From The House That Jack Built

[@feedthemeat543f]

I've always enjoyed how Jack essentially tries to frame himself as a cunning mastermind in a lot of the recollections, only for verge to have none of his bullshit and call him out for it in a few scenes

[@dtgbulletproof]

@Hamburgler Helper I think the name 'Verge' was a reference to Virgil from the Divine Comedy, wasn't it?

[@tombarter3287]

@Hamburgler Helper How the Hell is “Jack” a double meaning?

[@gggallin8279]

@Hamburgler Helper Verge obviously is a reference to the Divine Comedy and I don’t think that there is more meaning to him then that

@Hamburgler Helper I haven’t seen it, no. But I want to. And what is a red jack?

[@b3nl555]

@Hamburgler Helper How is that even related to what OP said?

[@khinlop]

The pile of bodies he built in the end wasn't the house. It was only an entrance. The actual house was hell. He built it for himself through all his horrible choices.

[@j-rcctrigga9731]

Maybe or maybe I think that the ending was meant to be an artistic representation in itself ( I am an Atheist so I will not admit that Jack actually went to hell ) more so my take away was that Jack himself was obviously a dilutional almost full blown Schizophrenic at times throughout his career and Verge ( his guide ) was merely a persistent manifestation of his mental illness. I came to believe that basically the last hour or so of Jacks life was a very bad schizoid acid trip ( if you've never had a bad acid trip yourself it isn't a far fetch to compare it to Biblical Hell, trust me on this subject I have experience) before the police eventually shot & killed him where he stood.

[@ZEFFENWULF]

This was my conclusion as well

[@keithmichael112]

@@j-rcctrigga9731 my take is that it's about why the director was making movies - people thought he was making art movies, but he was doing it for the wrong reasons, to hurt specific people, then to hurt or offend as many people indiscriminately. he tries to argue that it's art anyway, but he's pretty even handed about it, "virgil" gets some good shots in. he never built his own house, or made a movie for himself, but I think the ending sequence comes close

@@keithmichael112 interesting analysis my man.... I'm not unreasonable I always enjoy to hear both sides of a debate. My take away hasn't changed ( I would probably have to work on becoming a religious man before I change how I perceive the world through this particular lense ) But I enjoyed to hear the other side of the debate I think we can both agree that this was a heavily stylized art movie stuck as a kind of Schrodinger's Essay on ideals of Moralism, what is immoral and religion.

@@j-rcctrigga9731 thanks, I enjoyed your analysis as well. cheers

[@thepeatboggy]

The most important thing is that Jack is a stand in for how Lars Von Trier fears he sees himself, as a pretentious , cruel and potentially irredeemable artist. The disgust Lars makes you feel about jack is the disgust he sees in himself, Many of the events stand in as excellent albeit, twisted metaphors for Lars’ directorial career and personal life. The ending implies that He fears he is in a hell of his own making, and no one will truly understand him, and he is doomed. his serial killing as an art, reflects Lars’ directorial career as a provocateur. He sees genuine art in his films, but also wrestles with the mainstream perception of them. He wants to provoke, he wants to be accepted as an artist, but he wrestles with the idea that he must stay true and honest to his own artistic Ideals.

[@tannerpickle]

Very well said. It was clear when he showed footage from his other films at the end that to some extent this was about the artist's struggle. That's partly why I enjoy his films so much. You know that when you see a Lars von Trier film that it was exactly the film he wanted to create without compromise.

[@nadiaromantini8836]

why does he hate himself so much

[@thepeatboggy]

@@nadiaromantini8836 I don’t think he necessarily hates himself as much as this, but its certainly a detailed essay of a lot of things he does dislike about himself, It could be more a consequence of his filmography being geared toward horror than anything else

[@lachlanmclennan2188]

That hunting scene with the family is true horror

[@nono9543]

I have to say that this movie was refreshing in that it allowed Jack to be a quintessential study of a serial killer. Often times when a serial killer is a center character they have to doll him up to be relatable or have him adhere to a modern movie trope so you don't hate him. It makes sense but honestly it's more fascinating to see someone display traits common in the people this movie is about.

[@NikoCigoj]

Exactly. Im not really someone who enjoys relating to a serial killer

[@Stuckinillusions]

Usually watching a serial killer perspective in movies/shows you grow to them and you vote for their success but that movie did the opposite. You wanted to stop this guy and was fearing what he was about to do next. Such a good perspective and direction. Need more movies like this. Everything he did was worse than the last and always had you horrified after each act because it was nothing but straight evil.

[@vendetacos]

straight evil is the correct term

[@HeavyLefty]

[@Stuckinillusions]

@@HeavyLefty not exactly, perfect example is the show Dexter. You like dexter and you vote for his success even though he’s a serial killer. It’s the way it’s directed and the character is presented.

I felt Sick and almost wanted to puke It was how realistic this depiction of psychopathy and serial offenders that made me feel uncomfortable I remember being very tense and anxious watching this scene....

I finally saw it a few months ago, and I have to say, I was impressed with how hard they went in this film. I thought it would just be disturbing by Hollywood standards because of the all star cast and high production value, but this was a legitimately tough watch. The kid hunting scene was wild, I was surprised my wife didn’t ask me to turn it off. Bravo.

I always wondered if the house that he ended up building with corpses became the portal to hell. Since he didn't die in the end. But when they went inside there was a hole leading down to Hell where he belongs.

The movie isn't an easy watch. But it's a truly fascinating study of a mind beyond depravity, so much so that I can't help but respect the hell out of it, and the craftsmanship behind it. Usually you only see serial killer depictions like this play out from the perspectives of those on the outside looking in, or from distraught survivors, never from inside the actual perpetrator's head. I never once agreed with his actions, but his thoughts had me fully enthralled and curious to learn *why* he did everything he did. I'm sure it took balls to even get the movie made at all, and Matt Dillion plays the role well Lars von Trier 100% got put on a list after making this, though 😂

I disagree with one thing; Jack is not intelligent. His home comes across as such, but it is merely *organized.* When you look at the actual *things* he's doing, like his architecture project, he's actually absurdly simplistic and slow in the design and construction of his house. Part of this can, indeed, be attributed to his OCD, but from a fundamental level, and coming from someone who knows several architects, I think Jack is intentionally being portrayed as a very, very bad architect to those with a keen eye.

[@zeathoros]

I think Jack is definitely intelligent or at least above average. He is assumedly a somewhat successful engineer. He seems cultured in regards to art and philosophy and feels comfortable enough to challenge them in an admittedly very twisted way. I think the reason Jack has so much trouble building his house is because for him its his most precious art piece. Its become so abstracted in his mind that it is elevated beyond his capabilities. He struggles with choosing the material because he always finds a reason why that material isn’t worthy. As for the quality of his architecture I do think it’s intended to be criticized just like the rest of his art.

Jack's level of emotion is that of someone who never had a normal life and his OCD was at first unknown to him but after time passes he becomes aware of it and he learned after his kill. Jack saw himself as an artist and his form of art is inspired by several artists that has a dark tone(at least a few of them). His need to build "his house" was from the bones of his victims for that in his mind is his legacy and it is a dark one and a serial killer of his level is one of someone who sees himself as an artist with the mindset of seeing the predator and the prey as a platform for his goal to build his house out of the bodies of those he killed. But as time passes and more he kills the more you see that his house is not a heaven but a hell of his own making.

Excellent video on this character by The Vile Eye. You do a hell of a job breaking down on these movie villains. Would like to see one with Frank Zito from Maniac (1980 original). Krug Stillo and his gang from the original Last House on the Left and Henry from Henry: Portrait of A Serial Killer.

[@freelance.bio.exorcist]

I would love to see your take on Judge Holden from Cormac McCarthy's novella 'Blood Meridian.' Love the channel 💕

[@whitekony1006]

I'd crack that episode open like the shinbone of an antelope. I'd find it right lively. I'd have it declaimed naked from the walls in the old epic mode. I'd see it reflected in my innermost self. The ultimate video,awaiting the ultimate witness... Etc etc lol

[@Abraxas0365]

I've asked for this like 20 times.lmao thanks bro.

[@darrelldungan7359]

I've been waiting on you to do this movie!!!! Thank you!!

[@mikecabrera7393]

Great video as always!! Suggestions. You should do an analyzing evil series for The Walking Dead villains and Breaking Bad. - The Governor, Alpha, Negan and Gus Fring and Lalo Salamanca. Would love to see your take on them

[@Notaffiliated64]

Yeah baby that’s what I’ve been waiting for!

[@user-hu3iy9gz5j]

"Jack just loves to create. He loves to inspire. He loves showing unedited photos of his gruesome acts of cruelty and if he could inspire just one person he's persuing what's he's set on this earth to do.. hitting us with the assemblance of corpses"

[@MitridatedCarbon]

Best thing about this movie is that it tells you exactly what Jack is in the first ten minutes. He is a Jack, a tool, a broken one good only to kill.

[@lunacascade1125]

Please analyze Rose Armitage (the woman who lures victims) from Get Out. She definitely deserves the Vile Eye treatment.

[@BatALash]

Oooh good one!

[@WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs]

The whole Armitage family

This is overall an excellent analysis and I really enjoyed it. However, as someone that suffers from severe OCD, I found your description of the illness to be reductive. I know that you stated that the illness can affect people differently, but tidiness and a rigid structure to one's life is a trope that is not really reflective of the actual illness. The rigidity that those with OCD experience is not related to the way they organize their surroundings or schedule their time. The rigidity is in their need to do their compulsions in order to mitigate the extreme anxiety caused by their obsessions. The obsessions are irrational thoughts that usually take the form of outlandish "what if" scenarios that any normal person would be able to immediately write off as nonsense, but due to what now appears to be structural issues in the brain (specifically in the connections between the prefrontal cortex where higher level functions are performed and the error/danger detection center of the brain) OCD sufferers can't. This alleged structural problem in the basal ganglia seems to be the best explanation as to one of the very unique aspects of the illness; the fact that sufferers know their obsessions and subsequent compulsions are completely irrational, but they still can't stop doing them with out experiencing absurd levels of anxiety. Anxiety levels so high that doing something as innocuous as not checking if the front door is locked enough times feels like a life or death situation for someone with that compulsion. Furthermore, excessive tidiness is seldom a sign of the illness, as the amount of time that many people with OCD spend on compulsions causes them to neglect other aspects of their life like cleanliness and personal hygiene. That actually goes to my final point, which is that OCD doesn't cause simple "annoyances and inconveniences". Spending three or more house of your day checking door locks, or washing your hands, or any of the other innumerable compulsions and variations of compulsions that sufferers experience is not an inconvenience, it's absolutely devastating. The amount of time that people with OCD spend on compulsions strain personal relationships, rob them of experiences that would have brought them joy and make holding down a stable job extremely difficult, if not impossible. Finally, the stress experienced by patient's with OCD results in a significantly reduced lifespan. Like I said, overall I think the analysis of the character of Jack was excellent. I just wanted to share my understanding as someone that suffers with this disability.

[@moneykenny119]

Would love to see some more Breaking Bad stuff. Gus Fring, Mike, and Lalo would all be great

[@Sillyman7552]

I'd love to see one of these on Dexter, really curious about your thoughts on him.

[@TheHonoredMadman]

one of my favorite movies, ive honestly been waiting for you to cover this one, good shit man

[@JayCity10]

Great video. I have a top ten list of underrated villains. 1. Johnny Ringo from Tombstone 2. Eric Qualan from Cliffhanger 3. Nino Brown from New Jack City 4. Cam'ron from Paid N Full 5. Bricktop from Snatch 6. Lil Z from City of God 7. Sgt Waters from A Soldier's Story 8. Col. Jessup from A Few Good Men 9. God from In Too Deep 10. Edward Norton from Primal Fear. Can you do one on either one of these? These are my favorite villains from my favorite films, thanks and keep up the good work.

[@bambieyedd]

Leaving my suggestion for Stanley Tucci’s character as the neighbor Mr. Harvey in the movie “The Lovely bones”

[@DesignzRUs1]

That’s a good one!

[@iulstep]

I've been waiting for this video. I love this movie and this episode, now.

[@billmurari436]

This is one of those characters that it was only a matter of time before you did a video on them. Thank you sir 😌

[@DoggyHateFire]

I don't know if I really thought this movie was good, but it was interesting and weird and worth a watch if graphic violence isn't too much for you.

[@chrisj9701]

Next you should do Josef from Creep.

[@SunniDae333]

Ooh yes! I saw this film earlier this year, I can't wait to watch this video

[@63SSD]

Best subject in a while, great video!

[@chonkyseal7164]

Very nice video as always, this movie was a bit weird for me, it helped making things clearer. Also, would love to see an analysis of Keyser Söze from The Usual Suspects, amazing antagonist from a legendary movie.

[@AdmiralFerret]

Solid movie, and excellent choice to examine. I love anything that allows us into the minds of psychotic individuals. I'd love to see analysis for Kevin, from "We Need to Talk About Kevin"

[@Smarterthanyew]

Psychopathic, NOT psychotic. Psychosis is a condition that causes a break from reality via hallucinations and paranoia, and relates to mental health conditions such as bipolar and schizophrenia. People with these conditions hate how they are confused and conflated with psychopathy, which is a disorder that precludes the ability to feel empathy, leaving sufferers callous, cold, antisocial, manipulative and in many cases, for want of a better term, evil. The two- psychosis and psychopathy- should not be confused. 😊

[@thomasdavis9827]

Great video! Matt Dillon is an amazing and underrated actors.

[@jerrym1218]

He was always great at playing villains or the bad boy or some antiheroes. The Bully from “My Bodyguard” “Dally” AKA “Dallas” from “The Outsiders” The head of the bosses in “Deuces Wild” The Teacher in “Wild Things” And now “Jack”.

[@AshtonHaggart9674]

I can’t believe we are closer to episode 100 then episode 50 in this interesting series.

[@kristywalton11]

Aaah! I'm so happy you chose Jack I love this movie.

[@Imogen-gy4jo]

My friend suffered terrible trauma, raped and whipped by her father but shes gone in the opposite direction. Shes very caring and goes out of her way to be there for people helping those worse off than herself.

[@b3srkk886]

i was waiting for these one!

[@SwedishMinecraftAnim]

Ive waited for this one 🙏

[@andrewemerson7861]

Loved the vid, can next be Catherine Tremmel from Basic Instinct?

[@antisyoda1619]

Man jack really opened my eyes, but just to have them closed once again

[@kurtludwig7320]

I never get notifications when you upload for some reason I clicked the bell and everything

[@stephaniehall4126]

I’m really hoping we can get an analysis of the other mother from Coraline in the future 👍

[@robertlevine2827]

Maybe we can even get it from The Vile Eye's brother from another mother.
