He thought he was dealing with adults. He's a writer understanding character. People are really on a moral outrage. Castro was a bad guy too but Trudeau cried at his funeral and called him a great leader. The guy raped his own people every day and killed, starved, and imprisoned so many others. What about understanding Atilla the Hun? Would he be cancelled from Cannes if he tried to understand Atilla? Would he have been cancelled for saying Stalin instead? OR Karl Marx? Freddy Krueger? That was when cancel culture started getting insane. We are in a moral outrage now, except the morals are inconsistent, illogical, and always shifting.

It’s so organic how he achieves the end product with his actors. I love the depression trilogy (nympho, melancholia, anti) So beautiful but so disturbing…. Melancholia never fails to make me actually cry at the end.

[@element4element4]

I think I caused the depression of Lars von Trier. Back in first year of university, I used to work as a mailman on the weekends. One day I had to deliver a letter to Lars von Trier, a woman came out and took the letter. I assume it was his wife. Few days later all newspapers in Denmark reported that he had depression. I believe it was because of the letter I delivered. EDIT: Jokes clearly don't translate well in written form lol. The story with the letter is true, but the claim that it caused his depression was meant as a joke. It might very well have been a phone bill or something like that.

@@MicahMicahel Most people I see make a comment like that, are going off of Von Trier’s remarks at Cannes that one year, that many people took literally, about Nazis or Hitler. I can’t remember exactly what he said anymore, because it seemed like he was just purposely trying to shock people. I agree with you about those who work with him. I doubt there were many conservative minded people, working on Nymphomaniac, or Dancer in the Dark, for that matter. Who knows?

[@MicahMicahel]

@@CorbCorbin I remember. Your term 'conservative people' is obsolete. The left is now the censorious cancel culture social fas cist element. It was P.C. from the left that attacked Lars Von Trier. He was only purposely trying to shock people if the people had no sense of humour. He told it like a joke. The people that scream loudest about the fas costs are the people that are advocating censorship losing bodily autonomy and being okay with yeh fact that big pharma pays 75% of the advertising total. Conservatives aren't trying to censor. The guys from Southwark said they received no censorship demands fro hhej right ever. It's only been the left trying to censor and cancel them. Billionaires own Twitter and control all our information, yet Elon Musk is the one that is called a na zi because he wants free speech. People on the left think free speech is what the na zis fought for! They think they fought for bodily autonomy! I am afraid of the left because I'm an artist. anyone creative is afraid of the left.

Von trier is arguably one of the most controversial directors ever, whose movie never stop surprising or disturbing you because of his films scenes. Furthermore, my mom and I daw his latest movie "The house that Jack built", which was like an ode to his filmography. In fact, Matt Dillon who is the movie's star, didn't want to see the movie because, he was scared.

[@tollertyp7230]

An important masterpiece from one of the most important master directors. Truly unforgettable. But watching the movie shows us, that good entertainment doesn't always include fun and popcorn-wellness. Von Trier forces us to think, to confront us with symbolism, to look behind the shocking images and behind ourselves. Anticrist is a deeply human allegory, wich makes it so unbearable. But that's just my opinion 🤷

I loved it, and by the way, pain is what we escape from, grief is our condition and despair is what drives us and saves us. You can see that in the fact that the crow is the more helpful of the three beggars, he helps her find him and helps him find the wrench. I saw in those three figures a key to an evil form of witchcraft. Like a perversion of the three traditional kind of magic, pain (black magic), grief (red magic) and despair (white magic), you can easily see the perverted form of the last kind in the Bible of Satan of LaVey's church.

I had a friend once who said those exact same thing to me & I interrupted her & I regret it now. I truly wished I had been opened enough to listen, just to learn what lurks in the mind of other people despite their exterior. And also to see if she could have changed my mind or learn a different aspect of a piece of history from the "villainous side". Truly missed opportunity, that was almost 15 years ago. We lost touch as my life spiraled. She was a descendant from those Germans who settled in Chile and I am an African woman. We got on splendidly. I truly wished I had listened She should have let him finished his talk. Although on a big stage & a very influential one at that can be very dangerous too... So its difficult!

[@ciscornBIG]

Meds, please take them

[@JohnSmith-mk1rj]

That's very interesting. I'm fascinated by the human capacity to understand and, well...embrace evil as well. If we judge evil by traditional Western standards, then Hitler is on the top ten list. But in other cultures, betraying someone who trusts you is viewed as more evil than murder. Life feeds on life, but deceiving someone into trusting you and then 'flipping the script on them' is something only humans do. I could easily go on here, but yeah, I feel you. Fascination with evil, death and violence is something that humans have dealt with since we gained consciousness. It's a natural curiosity. Regarding Hitler...the truth is, man...he died badly. Weeks and weeks trapped in his lil' bunker, just waiting for the world to come and turn over the rock he was hiding under. I think it was Goebbels wife that poisoned their children before they both killed themselves? What goes through a human mind when doing this? The worst mental anguish a human can experience is to have a child die; I lost my brother when I was young and my mother literally threw herself on his casket when they went to lower it into the ground. I've seen this pain. But these parents knew it was better for the children to die painlessly, by falling asleep and slipping away, than to have them fall into the hands of the common Russian soldiers who were likely to find them. They would have been tortured, undoubtedly, and died in terror and pain. So the parents made that decision. How must that have felt? They likely welcomed their own deaths afterwards. Allegedly, the group Hitler took to the bunker with him engaged in a great deal of drug use and debauchery, as well. That must have been a weird scene. I'm thinking of this because the director mentioned the bunker before the woman told him to stop. Now...how does another human relate to, explain and rationalize Hitler? That I'd like to see. Especially from someone of German descent. Because honestly, going back to the dawn of civilization, the Germans have a history of brutality that's pretty deep. Not to mention starting not one, but two of the greatest conflicts humanity has ever known. So that would be a conversation I would engage in as well. Why? For the Lolz. Cuz exploring this stuff is interesting. That doesn't equal justifying it.

[@harperproduction3935]

@@JohnSmith-mk1rj AH! A fellow long answer writer Sorry for your pain & your loss. I totally agree with you, exploring this stuff doesn't mean we are ok with it. But part of the human experience is to also be brave enough to understand its vile counter part, because that dark side of humanity will never disappear. The best way to even protect against it, is to not just talk openly about those things, but to hear those people fully express themselves & so for those who have the stomach for it, can go inside their heads & discover or understand their psychology. No one can protect themselves against something they've never experienced I was married to a psychopath for over 20 years & I had no idea. Not a clue. And it was pure chance coming across an article on the internet, that I finally had the answer to all the questions I had accumulated in my head & heart. Because the dude was making no sense, & yet he was successful, great family & friends And he never hit me or raised his voice, but he fucked me up good, as well as our kids, who are now on drugs, possibly alcoholics & totally depend on him, which is what he wanted all along. Who does that to their own kids. Sabotage your own kids, while being a big wig in a company like Halliburton? And testing high on the Mensa tests. And yet reducing your own kids into barely educated bums. Yet people like that exist. Hitler killed his own people. My ex-destroyed his own family & sabotaged his own kids. Is there really a big difference between those two types of individuals? Those are things that we need to study openly in society. I feel. We need to know what they are thinking.

[@JohnSmith-mk1rj]

@@harperproduction3935 I don't mean to write long posts, they just get away from me, I swear! 😂 For the record, I loathe the modern ADD having 'TL;DR' crowd. I bet nearly all of them don't even know what the semi colon is, and that's the only time they use it. That being said - I'm very sorry to hear about your situation. That must be a constant source of misery for you. I've seen similar situations - I mean, we both grew up in an era when it was perfectly normal for parents to beat the living daylights out of their kids. And I grew up poor, eating mayonnaise and mustard sammiches in a roach infested apartment. In a neighborhood where poverty was just the norm and we all viewed it like it was just our lot in life. The Bronx, NYC's poorest borough. I'm still here, but I'm no longer poor. I've also survived a bunch of my own tragedies. After my brother died my mother descended into alcoholism, pushing my father away although he never left. He slept in his car outside our building so often it was crazy. I left as soon as I could, but that just resulted in me being a homeless heroin addict living on the E train as a teen. I ended up marrying my high school sweetheart, but she lost her battle with depression and deliberately overdosed in a seedy hotel when I told her we needed to quit and she ran off. I lost my mind for a couple of years and was back on the E train (couldn't stay in the apartment we shared), and one night I got jumped while I was sleeping and was nearly beaten to death. A friend found me in the hospital and literally saved me, giving me a couch and support until I got on my feet and began leading a 'normal' life. But when you've dealt with the stuff that we have, and survived it, you always think 'someone else has it worse,' and people from our generation tend to tough it out, instead of blaming all our problems on the 'trauma' we suffered growing up, or are still suffering. We hope we can fix it. Make it better if we work at it. Or we bury it and soldier on. But I've seen spouses of both genders do what you described to their families, and it's twisted. I'm on friendly terms with a psychopath for decades now - he hates that I can see through his manipulation and little plots and schemes. I think he's funny because he's honest about it with me. With others, I just laugh when I watch him 'work' people. He's very subtle, but people don't see it and I'm like 'how do they not see through his line of crap?' Cuz he's friggin' good at it, that's how. He's been getting over this whole life. He's fine tuned his act until it's perfect now. He's ruined this wife to the point where she can't use the cable remote without his help. He's been living on the fringes of society forever, so he uses all her personal info for everything. She loves/hates him to death. She retired from nursing a couple years ago, and that hastened her degeneration to the point where she's bedridden for much of her days now - bottles of booze and pills at the bedside. He's bored of her now, so he's on the prowl for someone new to ruin. Any example of his manipulative ability - he has no desire to work, of course, so he convinced the system that's he's disabled. He gets monthly checks, a NYC debit card to buy food, and free health insurance. Since he's 'disabled,' he set up a bunch of doctor's appointments for his 'chronic pain.' Before he went to these appointments, he did research to learn the symptoms for all the drugs he wanted to get prescriptions for. The vaguer, the better, of course. He managed to get lifetime prescriptions for drugs like Oxycodone, Xanax, valium...about 8 to 10 of them. He manages his own addiction to the opioids, and sells the rest for a considerable amount every month. It would be genius if it wasn't so twisted. He knew better than to bring a child into the world, however. Since psychopathy runs in his family, he said 'my bloodline ends with me.' He's also the person that found me in the hospital and saved me. Crazy, right? I've analyzed our relationship from every angle, and yes - we're friends. I know that psychopaths need someone to know how smart they are, to show off their intelligence and crimes to. What's the point otherwise, right? So that's the function I serve in his life. Honestly, I enjoy his company, as long as he doesn't try any of his crap on me. LOL. Long ago, when I was a street urchin, I was sitting on a couch with a friend, and I deliberately convinced him to get up and go get me a soda just to see if I could. When he did it, I was like, 'wow. This is a powerful ability,' and that led me being a manipulative bastard for many years. But I was on the streets, where you need abilities like that. Now I'm deliberately NOT like that, and I admonish my psychopath friend constantly. 'You're just the worst,' I tell him. He shrugs and agrees. He never apologizes, ever. I respect him for that. I know dudes that beat their wives - I look down on them, and will never be friends with someone that does that. And I draw the line at anyone that would wreck their kids. Like beating a woman, since their kids and look up to their fathers, there's nothing to be proud of yourself for when you crush their spirits. It's so easy - they're children with a childs intellect. Why would you even do that? Why do psychopaths do anything? Because they can, I think? My friend would have done it so he could milk them for money. Your husband, however, seems to make my friend look mild by comparison. Your husband might be genuinely evil. I just consider my friend malicious. Does living with evil, surviving evil give us a proclivity to be curious about it? Maybe. But you know what's crazy? There's thousands of hours of content in KZbin about Hitler. But God forbid you discuss him in the manner we discussed and the director of this film did. Suddenly we have 'issues' and 'need meds.' That's ridiculous. The FBI tries to catch serial killers alive so they can study them. You're absolutely right - maybe if we could understand and recognize truly evil humans before they can...let's say 'evolve into their final form,' we could stop history from repeating itself? Or put serial killers someplace safe before they start their killing sprees? That's why it's worth it to try to understand evil, I think. Sorry for rambling. LOL. And I genuinely hope that you can pull your children from whatever dark places they're in. Your absolutely sound smart and tough enough to do it. And someday our bad times HAVE to and. They just have to, right? I'm an agnostic, but I have conversations with God all the time. And I've discussed that very subject with him many times. He knows the deal. 😆

Looking forward to understanding more!

[@corinnae.7877]

@@frankbooth2427 i think on both. I can't speak for this person ofc, but I can give my two cents. I will start off that I don't like either character. I understand how they both act the way they do sometimes more, sometimes less. One inside was where she started saying that he never cared about her until she experienced grief, that he wasn't an present husband or father. He tries to kind of hide from her, or it seems like he is very uncomfortable. Then in the way he handles her outburst, starting when she gets home, and is just severely depressed. He wants her to stop using her meds. A big no go, idc if he is a therapist, never do therapy on people that are involved in your private life. A friend of mine had a therapist father, he worked specialised in addiction, but did therapy for his son who was depressed, suicidal, anxiety ridden and so on, he had lots of problems. They never had a good relationship, but that completely ruined it, no wonder why. Medicine is a good way to get better, speak from experience, because without it I wouldn't be at this point of life. Let's focus on them. He belittles her anxiety attacks. A common problem with therapists, they know the theoretical part, but it's impossible for them to know how painful it is, like they have a clue but you need to feel it. Another thing, we only see him one time actively grief. I don't think that he doesn't miss him, him breaking down at the funeral is enough proof, but it is unreal how almost calm he reacts to certain things. She herself ain't good either, I think she is even worse. The things she does are copying mechanisms, but of the really bad way. She wrote against violence against women, then only to justify those deaths. The men being evil has to do with many things, but to focus on the film, witches. Who burned and accused those as witches? Men in the church, men in general. Why is Lilith, the first woman, portrayed as a demon, even though she wanted equality. She was used as the symbol of rebellious women who wanted to be equal. With that women, she seems to blame Satan and witches for her thoughts, let's just say her desire. Nature is evil, the human nature is evil, those corpses of the witches became the soil, under the trees. Also I don't agree with the ending that he will be attacked by those ghosts. Why? He killed her for a reason. She tortured him nonetheless. My getaway is women support women who did things for a justified reason. It ain't the case here, so why should they care? Both men and women are in the wrong here. Can you understand something, I write so horrible here, so sorry.

Anti does not mean to be against or opposite.....it' means "in absent of"......To be Anti-Christ simply means that person wants to be Christ! Anti-Christ = in the absent of Christ, you got him instead. Anti-hero....in the absent of the hero, you got the villain instead. Anti-Government means in the absent of the government, you got them instead.....today's modern definition is a misnomer.

it is, on a small scale, yes.

Chewing? Id say no, not unless you are consuming the skin

[@KittyPieVibes]

I feel like nibbling some dead flaky skin away is much different than taking a chunk of meat from someone and eating it. I bite my cuticles and chew the inside of my cheek. But if you brought me a steak and told me it was a person, no matter how good it looked i wouldn’t be able to take a bite

It’s a fine line between drawing the viewer into the themes and shocking them to distraction. I found the “snip scene”, so graphic and unnerving, I struggled trying to forget that scene. I’m left with.... was that a prop? Or was it real?. It looked real.

[@MicahMicahel]

@@floydblandston108 THat's so odd. I'm generation x so the girls I dated were game for wild stuff. I didn't date people that wanted to watch Rom Comedies. I remember there was still the majority of women that wanted rom coms only but almost all the ones I ever dated were totally into shows that I would pick. Dating seems weird nowadays. I find it hard to believe how different women are now. The safe space mentality seems to have infected personalities. Someone was telling me how they take a film class and a bunch pop people walk out after the instructor gives trigger warnings about the shows. I know women aren't this lame because I remember when they weren't. I knew women that liked Chuck Palaniuk. To challenge my point, I did have a fondness for your #4, but crazy girls nowadays are probably no fun, whereas in the past they were the most fun.

This highly misunderstood, brave, unique and existential feast for the eyes is an utter masterpiece, and a favorite of mine. I don’t care about the people behind it; von trier’s despicable baggage means nothing to me. I’m capable of separating art from the artist, but aware enough to understand that many people cannot. I won’t defend his behavior. However, I will defend the brilliance of ANTICHRIST. It’s not misogynistic or women hating. It’s a hating of the darkness within human nature, and a standing ovation for the truth of things- that no matter how much our nature tells us to try and control things, other people and ourselves, our lives and decisions, the very world around us, to the point where we even try and control when we die and do anything to extend our lives, control is actually an illusion. At the root of it all, it’s chaos that reigns. Yet sometimes it’s the very darkness deep within human nature itself that invites that chaos to do just that. And there is nothing to be done about it except to accept that there are things beyond our control. And for me, that’s the true meaning of this film. And this film truly is a masterpiece.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

the bit in the intro about "showing to your friends, just to see their reactions" well I had a friend that would put the "potting shed" scene on from "Scum" and just leave the room. Like at after parties and stuff. Everyone in E's and stuff and he'd whack that on just to freak people out... the same guy showed me "dead mans shoes" for the first time the day after I'd been savagely beaten up as well... he was a bit of a sadist to say the least :D TBF he did that for devious reasons though. we both liked the same girl but that girl already had a BF, and that's who attacked me. I think he tried to get in my head and scare me off her or something... didn't work though, love is blind and all that. Ruined so many friendships over this one girl, she played us all. Never trust a Nympho.

I was using my firestick and went to reluctantly rewatch 'Hereditary' which I (unpopularly) did not like in the cinema when it was released. I went to rewatch it just out of some stubborn reluctance becuase it wasn't a film that affected me, or my brother... but everybody and their brother held it so highly. I honestly just watched it to see if I might have been in the wrong mood at the time, or something like. I didn't want to. But I was prepared to. My point is that the actual file under the 'Hereditary' title was what I now know by its title 'Nymphomaniac' It was on for around 6 minutes before I clicked and realised that I wasn't even watching the film I thought I was... and I was high and realised that it wasn't the right movie but I skipped forward the first 20 mins and was like 'Oh this is a Shia Le Beouf movie... so I watched it from there. So almost non contextually I left it play from there... and; I was kind of amused shocked and just a minute or so into the play mark 20 mins into still getting over that I spent 6 whole minutes in my own head telling myself to watch what I thought was the twice aforementioned 'Hereditary' ; convinced and pissed off that it would be a waste of time...but whatever... I had tried to really press play on the movie and watch it again many times and just watched something else I actually wanted to watch... Shit sorry, Im not really making my point am I... but I realised that this was a seriously different film within a minute or two after this point... and the movie just kicked with a film so raw and unflinching, and dark, and honest, and sad, and real - shocking and not an easy watch in parts. Understatement. I got to around 50 mins to the end and the file finished. Now I technically haven't seen Nymphomaniac in the regard that I missed the start and the last portion of the movie, so that's a given, but what I did see, and when I realised after google-ing Shia Le Beouf movies what the movie was actually called, I was left with a totally unique cinema experience in the film and its characters, and that fact that it wasn't a conventional or even likeable movie for many people in my mind ; it was so on the limits of what I ever expected before, I didn't have to guess that a sizeable portion of people couldn't or wouldn't watch this film. It was horrific and honest for the characters and the fact that you at times as the watcher are seeing people who have agreed to portray this material called actors but they are really literally spitting breathing and bleeding for this movie... moments where you have to remind yourself to not think about that becuase you are not catching what is being said or done fully, and then consciously volunteer to watch and just go with the movie... go on in that intention, almost. It was a movie that left me conflicted, and it was very interesting becuase none of it was out of reality. All the matters and themes were everywhere, every day, somewhere with someone in life but we don't get so much of that mirror to society and humanity in such explicit and unabashed brutal realism - and really see that much of an uncompromising and brilliant of a film in the mainstream - FOR ME. I don't see much cinema like this. I don't like to watch films for shock value or notoriety alone. I'd heard of the movie and heard it reviewed briefly in some videos... but the general consensus being that it was being described as... I didn't seek it out and in heindsight I found that interesting too. Anyway, that was 4 months ago. I haven't finished it or rewatched it yet. However the reference of the trilogy by Gus was also a common point made and I thought 'no way I'm in a hurry to watch 3 films that sound really dark or uncomfortable rn' as I was recovering and coming to terms with having a severely broken jaw set upper and lower ...and as well as looking like an absoloute horror film myself, metal wires and broken teeth and such... very brutal injuries.. I would have never ever sought it out. I scrolled past it in the previous weeks on my firestick a bunch of times before this, as it was on in its own correct file and poster, too, obviously, so I did suspect this was the case when I carried on watching it by mistake as above...but not Googleing it for confirmation until it cut off on me. And so, I, at the time was just stunned. I felt how I was led to presume or believe that 'Hereditary' made other people feel. I will go back and see the rest of this movie one day but, who knows, I might not. Additionally, I never got round to rewatching 'Hereditary' yet. I mean, not even close. This looked like an out there movie, and I have barely saw anything like it in general, before or since. Shit this comment is long I'm high yes just incase you wanted to suspect but... hey who writes an essay on YT comments... but fuck it. I just did. If you read all this, you're a comment trooper. Took me 40 mins ffs 😂

The narrative implication that I got was that the two noticed their child about to fall out the window right as they climaxed, meaning they could have saved their kid if they stopped but didn't, and spend the rest of the film in guilt.

Trier is an amazing director. It's great he had an opportunity to make what he made. I thoroughly enjoyed his every film I watched. Having said that, Trier for me is like Tolstoy: does not practice what he preaches, and the preaching (Melancholia) in itself is quite trivial. You can read Knut Hamsun's comments on Tolstoy if you want to get more context.
