Norwegian Killer Was Inspired by 'Dogville' Lars Von Trier Responds

Danish director Lars von Trier, who incited worldwide outrage together with his thoughtless comments captured he "admires Hitler," reaches the middle of a brand new debate, one surrounding Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik. It works out that Breivik would be a large fan of Von Trier's film 'Dogville,' and could used it as being an inspiration for his killing spree that required 69 lives. The finish of 'Dogville,' where the people of the suburbs who've oppressed and mistreated Nicole Kidman are gunned lower at her command, bears striking commonalities to Brevik's shooting rampage. Von Trier now states he regrets making the film, that was intended like a critique of yankee society. Within the Danish newspaper Politikien, Von Trier is cited as saying. "Whether it was an inspiration, I apologize which i managed to get. Personally i think badly about convinced that 'Dogville,' which during my eyes is just one of my most effective films, must have been a type of script for him," Von Trier stated. "It's terrible." The director demands "my sights would be the the complete opposite of Breivik and the deeds." Breivik's Facebook page (that has since been taken lower) listed 'Dogville' as his third favorite film, after 'Gladiator' and '300.' [via Hollywood Elsewhere]
