Lars von Trier practices slaughter to perfection

In what way does the basket that Quentin Tarantino brings to the screen differ from the basket that Lars von Trier separates? The answer is simple: while in Tarantino the obligatory violence always has a flashing character, it is executed by characters in the style of woodcutting, but Lars von Trier seems to take seriously his acts of violence and his characters. One quotes animated B movies from the '70s, the other states that his own injuries and psychological fears are dealt with in his films. It's a big difference.

This is particularly evident in von Trier's latest film, "The House Jack Built": Mimi Uma Thurman, Tarantino's favorite, is alone in the woods from the start and gets caught by the next driver (Matt Dillon) – fatal, for she immediately kills her with an iron valet; the decor would be so settled: the mbad murderer Jack, who has already killed 60 people, considers his "work" as an art and always returns to the scene of the crime to "clean" accordingly, to "arrange". Everything must be perfect.

Looking elsewhere can help

During the film, von Trier increases the violence in his film in the immeasurable; Those who could not see how the women were cutting their bads or how four children were victims of Jack's insatiable thirst for murder (in unprecedented images), hurriedly left the room for the premiere of the film in Cannes. Hundreds are gone.

Trier himself has no problem with that: we can disapprove his tendency to violence, but we can also say that he is one of the most uncompromising artists in his field, who does not neglect any effort to attract attention and which at the same time has a therapeutic effect on himself and his anguish. An ego show are Trier movies in any case.

"The House That Jack Built" is also a collection of references from the director's previous works and, in his wild ecstasy of mad violence and totally uncontrollable, a metaphor of often no less ridiculous information about the world situation: there is nothing about what you've never read in the newspaper.

And because Quentin Tarantino so loves the 70's and Lars von Trier set his movie at that time, "The house built by Jack" is actually the perfect material for a remake of Tarantino.
