Worst movie ever?
I seriously think this is one of the worst movies I have ever watched.
How can anyone think it is a good movie?
I just don´t get it.

One doesn't get it, thus claiming it to be the "worst movie ever", and the other couldn't even watch all of it. I hope you two don't think that you've accomplished an intellectual achievement by admitting what you've said.
shareWhat a lame comment.
shareRight, yours isn't. At all.
shareMillermand, consider the fact that movies are a medium of storytelling, by which various techniques are used to entertain and stimulate the audience. This director chose to simplify the visuals in order to focus his audience on the story, which is thick enough to benefit from such a unique visual technique. As for the length of a movie; how long should a movie take to tell a story of vulnerability, human nature, and betrayal to the degree that an entire collective is turned upside-down realistically, in order to please you? Shakespeare used to take 4-5 hours.
Perhaps you should let the director know that his profound exploration of human corruption wasn't good enough for you, and he can add in some transformers next time.
I hate Transformers, GI Joe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but I also found actors working in an imaginary setting and using imaginary props to be taxing. If I wanted this kind of experience I'd go see a play but even they have more environment than this so called "film." I was very disappointed.
Also, Jeremy Davies is a fraud. I swear when they cast him, they say "just do what you do, Jeremy." He should be ashamed that his "schtick" that is all that he has to offer. He's the definition of a one-trick pony.
I see Stupid People...

Wow, I can only imagine the utter hell it must be for you to read a novel.
Wow, I can only imagine the utter hell it must be for you to read a novel.Arrogantly put sir. I'm not one of your run-of-the-mill IMDb self-styled sophisticates, that call books "novels" and movies "films," but I'd put my IQ against anyone's without hesitation. And I've also read a few books in my life. Watching Dogville has nothing to do with reading a book, I just couldn't immerse myself in the story as it was offered.

Calling this movie "a profound exploration of human corruption" is quite an overstatement, but then again you artsy "film" types are always assigning undue significance to anything that's done in an unusual manner. Someone having a bowel movement while standing on their head, would probably make you swear you saw God.
I see Stupid People...
The OP said he doesn't "get" why other people love this movie. He didn't say he doesn't "get" the movie itself. But you're the superior intellect, TheMichael.
Even your username reflects your superiority.

Well.. I'm not the artsy type.
I hate artsy films, although studying film directing I was supposed to love 'em.
I hate Von Trier's work in general.
And him.
I didn't like the concept of the stage with chalk and everything.
Yet, this worked for me.
It worked as a powerful ethical essay, really, on the arrogance of double-standards, even when they are meant to be benevolent and merciful.
I would've been amazed in the sequel, were it not wasted for a "freedom can easily be squandered and structure beats chaos, even if it was freedom" thing.
The story would've had a better angle if Grace weren't so stubborn and regressed after the first film.
Yeah, you are right, it's very uncreative. I'd like to see your art and creativity.
I Sympathise with Lars Von Trier.
I like movies that offers me something visually and movies with nerve and depth.
For instance movies like Il postino and The orphanage.
I don´t like movies that looks like experiments made by some high school students.
Just because I don´t like this movie, please stop *beep* about it, and accept that I do not share your taste in certain movies.
You have every right not to like it for your own reasons, just as much as everyone does, like I get too bored by Lord of the Rings, for example. It's not your kind of film and that's perectly fine. But to claim there is no nerve and depth in it only shows you did not understand it at all, as there is quite a lot of both. And I mean a LOT.
(Of course, just to be clear, I by no means imply that you are stupid because you didn't understand it, but it is a film one needs to care for, in order to get to its core. If you didn't care for it, your reaction is very natural)
Dogville indeed does not offer much visually, because its value lurks elsewhere.
By the way, if high-school students made films like this, cinema would be RICH and teenagers would be considered the most mature.
I Sympathise with Lars Von Trier.
I totally agree with that. Value Certainty does lurk elsewhere. Too bad so many are wooed by theatrics and computer generated images. There is a lot to be said for good acting. This is a very well acted film. And it does take a brain to see the plot.
