The "melancholy star" in the film is depression itself, and some people say that Justin called it.
(I'm afraid that the film's symbolism, which is both real and virtual, has also caused me and many people to understand obstacles...)
Justin's various moods in the first half are the manifestation of depression. She has worked hard but can't overcome it, and can only let depression drag her into the abyss, hurting all those who care about her and love her. (Pity her fiancé Mike, what a handsome guy) It's a pity that people who don't have depression can't understand it, and it's hard to really understand it.
When she couldn't step into the bathtub anyway, the heroine was completely crushed by depression. And that profound powerlessness I felt for a moment.
When the depression continued to worsen, from the time she moved to her sister's house, she was like an asteroid approaching the earth, dancing a quiet and beautiful dance of death, dragging her sister Claire's family to destruction.
From the reaction, it can be seen that the brother-in-law is the most unbearable of all this. At the same time, he is optimistic that Melancholy is "impossible" to crash the Earth. And when he realized he was wrong, he suddenly collapsed. Sister Claire endured everything in forbearance, but she couldn't escape.
In contrast, Justin finds relief in the face of destruction. Finally, she was no longer the only one who had to face great fear and pain.
In the face of depression, reason, affection, love, everything is as self-deceiving and vulnerable as the "tree hole" that Justin put up at the end.
Just write it out and organize your thoughts. so. The scene where Justin was naked under the Melancholy star was beautiful.
