It may be an old topic and I couldn't find it, but I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the obvious Antichrist reference (or connection or whatever) when the baby walks out to the balcony in slow motion while it snows with (I'm pretty sure) the same music as the opening scene/main tragedy in Antichrist. Once it is revealed the baby was fine, all I could think was "you f--cking a--hole, Von Trier." (In a good, LOL way).
shareI agree. I thought for sure they cut and paste the exact same scene from Antichrist until I saw the baby was okay.
shareI thought that was the worst eye rolling scene of the entire film. It was as though he was parodying himself. Just fkn awful.

I agree. I was like....is that supposed to be a joke? Is he making fun of himself? I mean...I guess it was supposed to imply like, look, haha, baby's going to die like I did in my last movie with this music and the snow...sike! nope! Almost mocking that scene from his other movie.
Why lol
Why lol
OMG I totally caught that! I was certain Marcel was going to go tumbling off that balcony into the snow. Also, did you notice the stuffed fox on the teacher's desk in Joe's (or perhaps Seligman's mental image) of Joe's sexual schoolgirl/teacher? I thought that was another clever "Antichrist" reference.
shareI was yelling "Hey kid-it's snowing and a Lars von Trier movie-get your ass inside NOW!"
Let's get some payback-strap on the feedbag!
It was quite obvious. Just as the top-down ("god's eye view") shot of young Joe's first orgasm, which remembered me of the floating Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia.
shareit just made me wonder if the director has some mommy issues.
