He is a Nazi: he admitted it. What about all the press people in the room who laughed with him? And gave him a stage to promote his disrespectful comments?
“OK I AM A NAZI!” Lars Von Trier says to a room full of media.
KIRSTIN DUNST tried to stop him but no, he insisted on going on. He said to her :“THEY (there is ) WILL COME A POINT TO THE END OF THIS, I understand the man, I sympathize with him (Hitler)”
Then a jurnalist offer to help him get out of it; “how about another question? But Mr. Lars Von Trier’s, refused to get of the subject, he continued to argue his point of view, Till he finally admits “OK, I AM A NAZI!”
The sad part is he laughs about it and the room laughs with him. But this is not a laughing matter. 20 million people died because of Hitler and the Nazi regime. Lars Von Trier then goes on, offering a new final solution. Why, because the first one wasn’t successful enough? He dosent hate the jews , not all of the, just ” Israel is a pain in the butt?”
Any filmmaker knows, there is a truth behind every joke. Lars Von Trier shows disrespect to everyone and to all humanity.
I feel sorry for kristin Dunst , for she had to sit next to him , and hear it, and and have her acting in this movie tainted by it.
Teachers and parents are trying to raise kids on values such as tolerance and respect, and a man like this comes and wipes it all out, because he gets attention for being disrespectful, racist, even a Nazi, he gets a stage and no one shots his mike.
The media have great responsibility for the world we create around us, you are not only reporting these messages, you are either condoning or condemning these messages by the way you react to them. Therefore when you give him slack because you like him, because he is a “talented director”, you are taking part in promoting hatred and racism in the name of reporting. This is not what free speech was meant for.
Freedom was given to people in trust they will not use it to harm other people, or to cover wrongdoing. freedom of speech was demanded by the people and given to the press to protect to protect them. Your liberty ends Mr. journalist where mine begins. . Otherwise you are invading my freedom, what does it make you???
And by “you”, I mean the media, the editors, the journalists, the media owners, who promote your career, and sell news, WHAT ABOUT MY FREEDOM FROM THE FILTH AND DANGER YOU ARE CONTAMINATING MY SPACE WITH IT. NO ONE SHOULD SEE HIS MOVIES OR PROMOTE THEM.
WATCH THE VIDEO. IT IS NOT A JOKE. IT IS REAL
