Life is life only to slaves
I liked to consider myself a fan of this director. Certainly Adams Apples stands out as a fantastic film and his other works have their own amusing quirkiness that can be hard to resist despite the macabre but this one I found was just full of proverbial *beep* Having grown up in Norway before settling abroad I can partially understand the Danish language and can very much understand the Danish cultural psyche which is related very closely to the rest of Scandinavia with small differences.
The little moralizing summary that he likes to do at the end of his films just made cringe this time. As if he thinks he should wink at the audience at the end with a twinkle in his eye and give them some 'deep' moral truths from out of his ass after serving up some vulgar comedy. It's not that there is anything essentially wrong with vulgarity -- it's just important to remember that you can dress up a turd all you want and you'll still have a turd.
I had no issue with cannibalism in Green Butchers which was actually a rather pleasant film. Bestiality can be shrugged off but when combined with the abduction, rape and murder of half a dozen women and then on top of that to be told before the credits that 'life is life' just makes you sorry for the mind that created this drivel. The moralization in the film serves only as a window into the psyche of the cultural and political elite of Denmark. Do we really need more moral relativism? It's all we've had for as long as I can remember. Perhaps we need it as a drug now at this stage in history when Nordics are being forced to pay through the nose for a eugenics program designed to replace them entirely with an alien people.
Yes, the Catholic church and its offshoots were stifling and yes, fascism was frightening but this attitude of hiding in empty relativism is that of a man burning down a condemned and dangerous building and then celebrating the ashes -- he does not build again with courage but simply wallows in the soot and calls for other men from far away to build whatever they want in the ashes because the soot is all that he is worth.
