“This is probably the most shocking movie experience Iu0026#39;ve ever had, not only because of the emotional impact, but because this is truly a moral-horror movie that slapped me in the face.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is probably one of the best moral tales ever told, in which Nicole Kidman and all the supporting cast shined. Why did the makers try to make it look incomplete? Why havenu0026#39;t they used more sophisticated production set rather than some made-believe structures directly exposing the film studiou0026#39;s interior environment to you? I didnu0026#39;t get it at first, thinking this might just be another pretending piece of crap that tried to be u0026quot;artisticu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever as the story proceeded, the whole thing started to make senses. Featuring some of the best character study Iu0026#39;ve ever seen, the story involved you into the adventure of Grace, the main protagonist whou0026#39;s supposed to be despised by us logically and naturally. Then, the audiences were forced into a game that the filmmakers keep you guessing what would happen the next, until the very end.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe ending, in my opinion, is the most shocking and frightening ending ever seen in a film. Dogville is by no means marketed as a horror movie, but if one believes himself/herself to have the moral high ground, he or she should stand the test the movie has given us. For me, I chose to live with all the miseries happened to Grace and play along just like every other character in the story, u0026quot;sh!t happensu0026quot; as they say. This, has not only put me in shame but also freaked me out at the end. Considering the potential spoilers I would caused, Iu0026#39;d suggest you go see it for yourself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith superb acting, very well plotted story and a shocking message for senseless societies, Dogville is easily a masterpiece.”
