Dogville


I just caught the film Dogville on dvd this Saturday.

Such an intriguing, thought-provoking film... It left me entranced.

I hadn't planned on watching it, nor have i heard about the film before. My family was watchin it first in the living room when i passed by our tv n caught a glimpse.

It starred Nicole Kidman! And THAT caught my attention.

You see, Nicole Kidman has been my favourite actress for the longest.... time. I love her acting abilities n her looks, no less, is very enrapturing. As an actress she has proved to be very diverse n skilful towards her craft. Think 'The Hours', 'Cold Mountain', 'Moulin Rouge'etc...

She's one HELLUVA hollywood A list actress.

She's the very reason i'm lookin forward to 'The Stepford Wives'...Also the very reason why i screw Tom Cruise n Penelope Cruz.

(so besides the point yeah?)

Anywayz... a brief sypnosis abt the film...

This is the sad tale of the township of Dogville. Grace(Nicole Kidman) a fugitive running away frm a pack of gangsters stumbles into the town and meets Tom, her rescuer, who then holds a meeting with the townsfolk abt the issue of harbouring her. She is given 2 weeks to make her presence agreeable, and she did. Dogville decided to keep her, and in exchange she has to do chores for each of its resident as payment for their kindness. Chores that don't even need any doing.

When posters bearing Grace's picture as a dangerous fugitive is pasted all over town, the risk of harbouring her gets costly, and the residents of Dogville exploit more out of her in the light of this. She slowly becomes the victim of the entire town's own ugly manifestation of itself and eventually detest the town so much she waits for the opportune moment to flee. With Tom's help(they have become lovers by then), she tries to flee via Ben's truck, only to be betrayed by him and taken advantaged of.

She returns to the town shamed n hated, and Dogville rears an even uglier head and starts to bare its teeth. She is chained to prevent another escape.

Then Tom questions the danger Grace would pose to him if she were to still exist. He stops collaborating with her and sides the town instead, for he finds her detrimental to his future advancements in his ideals n plots with the township to get rid of her. They decide to call in the gangsters to get her n promptly collect their reward. However, Grace has a dark secret that would make Dogville regret even its own slightest mistreatment towards her...
