Has anyone else wondered how the hell he explained to that (probably under-age) girl-actress how to make an orgasm act?
It looks pretty sick to me.
Also, does anyone else think that on other circumstances Lars von trier could just be treated as a pervert, getting arrested and outcast from society instead of being praised while getting his actors complying to whichever sick perverted desire he craves?
Obviously, a director is not going to instruct a 10-13 on how to look like she's achieving an orgasm. And if she's fully aware of what she's trying to do, good for her being mature enough to achieve it.
As for the other suggestion, don't be daft. He would not be treated as a pervert for making a movie. It's not like he's actually having the organs stimulated behind the scenes for realism.
I'm not judging him based on this movie only. He obviously has his "reasons" for a lot of hardcore sex and nude scenes in it, as it's about a nymphomaniac. (Still, he could deliver it with a lot less hardcore stuff with the same "point").
I'm talking about all his movies in general. It seems they all contain some nude and hardcore sex scenes, and some are very perverted and a lot of them aren't necessary at all for the film.
It looks like he can hide perverted intentions under the excuse of "art" and do whatever sick scene his mind desires without being criticized for that.
To sum it up, it really puzzles me how so thin and yet so vast the line is between being considered a respected "artist" and a lousy pervert. It seems a camera and a film make the whole difference.
As for your "organs stimulated" remark, I wouldn't be too surprised if this director "sets himself up" with material to wack off to at home, when he writes the scenes for his movies.. :)
Oriork, I was wondering the same thing. Unless she was older than she looked.
Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!
It's called directing. All he had to do was tell the little girl to grasp at her palms, close her eyes and maybe say something like, "act like you're in pain...now roll your eyes upwards."
Most of that scene was put together in a way that we can tell and assume what is happening because of all that has come before and because of the little giveaways he "directed."
I don't know this guy and I'm not 100% sure he isn't a pervert, but lets not go and forget how easy it is to make one thing seem like another through editing and directing, rather than assume some horrible parent allowed their daughter to "act out an orgasm" for some sick pedophile director.
I still fapped
