The film is about Melancholia. Melancholia is, in the film, an enormous planet that slowly but relentless advances towards Earth. And the film shows three different reactions to that fact embodied in three characters: The vision of Science, amused by the fact but useless in the matters of the soul; the vision of Survival, afraid by what could represent the end of life but finally accepting it as part of life itself, and the egocentric vision, too self centered although right, to care.
And actually, Melancholia in real life could be defined as that: the feeling that could emerge when we realize that death is inevitable and we grief over spilled milk.
Well, of course, he has to pin point the fact that he is that good, so there are scenes that make no sense and are useless, but the visual power of certain scenes remind me of Kubrick and Dali altogether, so here's to you, Lars!
So, good idea, good images a second part extremely better than the first but Lars, you are a nihilist aren't you? yes, opinions are like butts but, come on...Don't you remember that Hope will be for always be inside of Pandora's box?
Or maybe it's just me...but I prefer the end of Life Of Brian! Iconoclastic all the same but...Always look on the bright side of life mate!
