Autobiographical motive for the ending?

Given the Bjork accusations, and since this film was made a few years prior to them, does anyone else think there was a touch of an autobiographical element in Seligman?

The moral relative intellectual who in the end also gives in to primal instinct if the opportunity presents itself? Maybe that’s how von Trier viewed himself and those in similar positions to him (either consciously or subconsciously). There’s similar motivations too with the “you’ve done with thousands of men” and the expectancy of the actresses within the movie industry to accept the advances of directors/producers.

There is also a similarity for the rapport between a director and his main actress as there was to Seligman and Joe.
