This movie was released November 29, 2018 and I personally think it is the wildest movie I have seen. This movie is about a guy in his 40ish who one day randomly thinks how easy it is to kill someone. The movie goes on to him describing each of his killings and it goes to show how heartless and crazy this man can really be. Just how he impulsively thought of how easy it is to kill someone, the killings show how there was really no thought or plan behind them, he just decided he was going to kill each person and did it. I believe this movie is wild because this isn&#8217;t only regular fast &#8220;done and go&#8221; murders, the way he executes the murders and the aftermath is what really struck me. It shows how careless he really is and how he had nothing but a desire to kill.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scene that really had me intrigued was one of a mother with her two children. The scene starts off with the four of them going on a target shooting area and we understand Jack is dating the girl. It then cuts off to the mother and both kids hiding from Jack and how he is essentially hunting them. Not only did he decide to hunt 3 people but it shows how he didn&#8217;t really even think of them as people but as targets. Jack without hesitation shoots both of the kids in front of their mother and prepares a picnic which he then sits everyone ( dead or alive ) around to eat. This really showed how crazy Jack was which really portrayed how wild the movie really is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT Official Trailer (2018) Uma Thurman, Matt Dillon, Lars von Trier Movie HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BYF2tfdD1fA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently saw a movie that was 2:30 hours long directed by Lars von Trier starring Matt Dillon.
