The color of the film is basically dark. Gives a feeling of pessimism and depression.
The first part, justine. The hue is basically dark yellow. The heroine was originally a happy wedding scene, but she always felt that her smile was so awkward to look at. In fact, anyone who has experienced a little depression can realize that she is a depressed patient. Her despair of life, indifference to personnel, and boredom of life. Here, she also suffers from a fear of marriage, and is very afraid of another person occupying her inherent life. It can also be clearly seen in this paragraph that justine's parents have long lost their love for her. justine invited her father to stay and talk for a while before the end, but her father was eager to take someone else's car back to reunite with his remarried family. And her mother didn't go downstairs to cut the cake, and at the wedding publicly confessed that she hated marriage. Although justine suffers from depression, she still has her own values. At her wedding, she publicly fired the boss who was not used to it for a long time, and had sex with a pitiful young worker who couldn't help herself. It can be seen that she also has a strong side. She is not sluggish as always, and she does not even have the enthusiasm for taking a bath.
The second part, claire. The color is basically dark blue. Claire is a self-confident and stable manor woman who enjoys life and loves horse riding. She has a harmonious family, a scientist husband and a son who loves science. But the only thing she worries about and the shadow in her life is this younger sister who suffers from depression. She takes care of justine tirelessly, but she can't get justine to cheer up a moment, which is why she said more than once that sometimes she hates justine to death , Although she said that, claire is the only person who still loves justine from her painstaking planning of the wedding and the daily care.
Claire, the second female lead, is entirely for comparison with the heroine justine. One is a person who is confident and tough and enjoys life on weekdays, but when the end comes, he becomes restless and panicked. The other is a depressed patient who has no support, no beliefs and goals in his daily life, but when the apocalypse comes, he is calm and calm. Although justine is a melancholic patient, she has no faith in life and is cold and numb to human affairs, but when the end comes, she still uses the magic cave to lay a psychological comfort (with a color of hope) for her nephew, It's also moving to see my loved ones struggling with fear in the face of death. At the end, the three of them hid in the wooden stick frame they made before the end. Obviously, this psychological self-defense reaction did not work at all. It can be seen that in the face of death, a melancholic patient will still erect a psychological barrier like an ordinary person, and she also hopes to stay with her relatives. Of course, these views are all my reflections from justine, who is a melancholic patient.
Some people say it's a disaster movie, but I think it's still a theme around its original name, melancholia, in a special story background - the end of the world to tell a melancholic patient's psychological changes and explicit behavior. feature film.
