Paul Dano could of been a decent choice as well , BUT yeah… Matt Dillons persona is just too raw . Especially the “bad boy” character that backtracked from The Outsiders . Great film. (Aside the kid scene) not a fan of that.

[@regmunday8354]

Very brave actor. Actor's actor.

[@dougbull2816]

wtf is with critics.this movie was great.specially compared to the big blockbusters cgi shit fest that keeps going on forever.

[@thefilminformer]

hahaha yeah but ever heard of A24

[@khinlop]

Same reason why a lot of critics hated Clockwork Orange. At least not as many are shouting that the film is pro-violence like they did at Clockwork Orange.

[@olger05]

Critics are mostly failed artists, the moment someone makes a joke about Hitler they are getting so wet that they slip out of their cinema chair and start a blog bitching about it. Critics aren't relevant they don't see a work of art they see a political statement and can't look behind a post-moderen looking glass.

[@TestingChannel1407]

you're goddamn right. At least it was different from that crap.

[@jeppong]

its because this director is hated in the industry. He pushes limit and boundary with his films. Just take a look at his other past films like Anti Christ or Nymphomaniac. They are too grotesque to really give him any credit. It's very NA rated things going on in his film all the time and most of the time he does it out of spite not because there are symbolic imagery or meaning behind it all. This film from him seems liek the best film he has made that actually has a lot of context but trust me, this guys movies will never ever cross critics eyes as a positive view.

[@gatica72]

There was so much more to this movie than just the violence and gore and misogyny. It’s crazy poetic and symbolic. I was so intrigued by the philosophical questions posed by Vergil. It was a very dense movie and if you didn’t understand the allusions the jargon and rhetoric within the film. All you ended up see was a grotesque film about a serial killer indulging himself in his works.

[@pedromartinmuerto]

Lol this film literaly makes fun of those philosophical questions. It is a grotesque film about a serial killer indulging himself in his works. And this is why it is so great.

[@rafac7384]

Matt Dillon is hot!

[@absolutelyeveryone2425]

This is honestly a contender for my favorite movie of all time. But it’s tied with Requiem for a Dream I don’t know which way to go so I’ll just sit between the two and be happy forever rewatching them.

[@NullVoidgone]

Me too!

[@bianca952000]

You have good (eclectic) taste. Gotta go with Requiem, though. Ellyn Burstyn was so robbed of the Oscar it was a joke. Both are great movies, IMO.

[@CiggyButtBoi]

Requiem for a dream is far too depressing for my mentally ill mind. It literally made me feel empty.

Somebody either didn't tell Matt Dillon that aging is an actual thing, or they did and he said "no thank you".

[@bluestate69]

This was a great film. Disturbing, but great. However, among his many masterpieces, I will say that "Melancholia" is the best film ever.

[@romino3585]

Greatest ending ever

[@calenbolo]

In the perspective of Lars maybe

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Matt Dillon. Still one of the greatest actors of my generation. His performance in "Factotum" alone is as good and as funny a performance as any of the so called greats have delivered. His performance in "The House The Jack Built" was perfection.

[@sebastianalegria3401]

I never thought that Matt was going to play a character like that, because I was used to see him to star in Comedy movies. So, when I saw Von Trier's film, I got completely amazed by his performance. Obviously, for him working with Lars and especially with Bruno Ganz "the guy who plays Hitler", was an amazing experience.

[@thedevilinside]

this movie is my #1 of all time. i am an asperger person, and i identified with every single thing about jack in this film, murder excepted. the scene in which he practices making human faces... i do this. art is art. this art is a masterpiece.

[@regmunday8354]

I've seen it.I I have no idea what Lars von Trier's intention was, but The House That Jack Built seems (paradoxically) like an extremely moral film, kind of cinematic 'psychopath test' for cinema goers. Anyone who finds it entertaining, and sits through the entire film loving the violence and laughing at the blood and gore, or sympathising with Jack's twisted misogynistic outlook on life, probably has something seriously wrong with them! In other words it allows the viewer to TEST THEIR MORAL COMPASS: we are meant to be horrified, disgusted, revolted by the horrific violence.

[@Itz_Pancho]

The film a pointed towards the viewers and critics that have criticized his pervious films for being too violent, disturbing, sexist, and shocking. The violence is not to be taken seriously. It just goes to show how people are offended easily. It's only a movie.

[@MixedElixir]

I think your justification is gravely inaccurate.

[@Ninersforlife420]

@RMG21C Bot Oh look it's an overly sensitive twat waffle. Dont watch movies you know you won't like just so you can bitch about them later.

[@pietzsche]

It's pretty bizarre to me that people complain about this film, Jack's presented as a pathetic narcissist trying to convince himself that he's more than that, but the explicit text is that he isn't, it even goes so far as to show the tricks he uses on the audience. And the end confirms it, he's basically stupid and self defeating in his arrogance.

[@LendallPitts]

I do not recall von Trier's first very brief announcement that The House that Jack Built would be his next project, but I do recall that it included a reference to Donald Trump -- that it would be a film about the Trump era. Big surprise: It is.

@@HunterVex. we generally speaking shouldn't decide which movie is "opus magnum" of the director, At the end it should be their decision which movie that they made is the most "compelling" one (if they want to make this type of generalisation to begin with) It's ignorant, giving the fact that we already know (and knew 2 years ago when OP posted this comment) it's not Lars von Trier favorite movie of his
