Rufus, it is interesting to note that Trier has communist parents. I would further note that communists are against Bush and that many artists appear to be communists, if not card carrying.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly
Much as I think the Dogma 95 manifesto is a joke, I will say:
1) von Trier is a great director; Europa (a/k/a Zentropa), Breaking the Waves, and The Kingdom are among the very best things I saw in the 90s. This film might suck, but every director I love has made at least one film that sucked, and generally more.
2) Surely no one is more guilty of making films about places they've never been that the American Film Industry, collectively considered.
3) Artists all over the world (including in the US) hate Bush and Bush's version of America. Wherever artists gather -- whether at Cannes or at the Northern Illinois University Senior Mixed-Media Sculpture Exhibition -- you'll find these sentiments. It's like homophobia at a Southern Baptist convention -- except the artists are onto something.
I now wonder about Kidman appearing in an anti-American film made by a communist. Is she trying to make a statement about America?http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Beware of the communist-scientologist conspiracy !

Kidman is at the level in her career where she can choose between vehicles, all of which make money.Originally posted by Spiffor

But it is impossible to spend a whole day in a major Turkish city without at least being reminded of the existence of America and its international power.“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment

I don't know a thing about his views except he seems bent on trashing America. No center-rightist would do that.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Ned, you really crack me up. His parents were commies so that must mean he's a pinko-commie.

No, that in combination with his trash-America movie. Center-right people do not make trash-America movies. Marxists do.Originally posted by Tingkai

It keeps getting better and better.
Do you not see the hypocrisy of trashing a movie you have not seen and then complaining about the director because he made a movie set in the States when he has never seen the States.
Here's a question to all of you who are trashing a movie you have not seen.
How does this movie trash the United States. Please provide specific examples from the movie. Quoting a critic isn't good enough unless the critic cites specific examples.Golfing since 67Comment

Ha!!
Dogville didn't win the Palms, in fact it didn't get one single prize in Cannes, despite all the publicity and self promotion by my degenerate and narcissistic countryman, Mr. "von" Trier.
He left the festival a broken man and headed home to further nurse his neurosis and beloved navel-contemplation.

Odd. Most Hollywood war movies I've seen (Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, etc.) really make me glad I'm nowhere near those places.Originally posted by HershOstropoler
