by the way, i think that Ridley Scott makes all these second third hand films about Ancient Greece and Medieval Jerusalem. He should actually visit those places before criticising them.
woah! sarcasm overload!

How about you euro's and everyone else get your fucking governments in gear and come liberate us Americans who see through Bush and his twisted plans for world domination. I for one can't wait until some countries get the balls to help us, because theres nothing we can do from here in the states, the government has a grip on our testicles like you wouldnt belive (read Patriot Act).
I am actually pretty scared, and hella outraged at what the US is.
Maybe China will be the ones to step up and help us out...
Someone PLEASE HELP US.
Really. Im not kidding.

Kuz,
I said its ONE of his themes. As far as your Ridley Scott comparison goes....there's a difference in being able to do somethng and not wanting to do something. I'm sure if it was possible Scott would visit ancient Rome or Jerusalem.

Actually Mimio, you said "He has nothing to carry his films other than obtuse masochism and hatred."
In fact there i a lot more to his films than that. A hell of a lot more.
My point about Ridley Scott, that such a thing as "second hand/ third hand" is completely unecessary in the discourse they are telling. Ridley Scott wasn't making a film about the actual crusades - his was a film about what the crusades mean to modern audiences - especially in the context of the US led war on terror. Going back to medieval jerusalem would be meaningless in the historicising post-Hegelian project he was undertaking.
Similarly Trier's films are set in a purely mythical America, that underlies a certain truth, but which he projects through the distorted mirror of popular culture. It is a deliberate aesthetic of his films, such as Dogville. It is like Robert Crumb drawing black women with big fat assses and big fat lips - regurgitating popular culture back at itself. It is not an attempt at the "real".
But seriously, Mmio, shut up. You stopped making a point long time ago.
