I didn't know anything about the movie before watching it, I didn't even see the synopsis. Now I think it's useless to watch it. Why does the introduction emphasize that the wedding banquet is "a lot of money"? Except for the Melancholy star at the end, it doesn't help the overall plot at all.
I went to the movies with my own understanding.
There is a long series of slow motion at the beginning, and the soundtrack also fits the theme. Thought it might have something to do with the inner world of depression (but the truth is these are the endings of the movie). At first, I felt that the heroine was depressed about the wedding because of depression and needed to pretend to smile on purpose. The relationship between her parents, her sister lost her hot face and cold butt again and again, and she began to lose her temper and be unhappy with her. The groom was obedient to him in every possible way, as if he knew she had depression and did it on purpose, not wanting to spoil the atmosphere. I began to wonder whether it was because of depression that caused all this, or because of the attitudes of the people around me.
Although the groom really cared about the heroine, but later because of the unhappy wedding, the willfulness of the heroine, etc., he just left on the wedding night. It was a breakup, and it seemed too indifferent. Or maybe this wedding was originally held to make the heroine happy, not a wedding that both parties really made up their minds.
It wasn't until chapter two that Clare's part began to understand that everything was because of this melancholy star (in fact, it doesn't matter whether the heroine has this superpower or not), and the disaster it brought makes the heroine feel that there is nothing to survive before death. significance.
She should have started thinking about death and human nature before she came to an evaluation like "The Earth is evil." Everyone around her, her father's lust for beauty, her mother's loss of marriage, and her boss's paranoia about interests She is in trouble. Everyone in her life has let her down. Maybe it was because she had foreseen everything and felt the disappointment of all this, that she started to be depressed. "We are alone."
By the end of the film, she has seen through everything, no one can escape this disaster, human beings will become extinct, and no creatures will be spared. She looked away, calmly, waiting for death to come. At this time, my sister was in a period when she was suffering from depression, and because her son had not grown up, he should not be crying in the face of death. In fact, even if the son grows up, he still has to learn to face death and the ugliness of human nature.
Died when he was still a virgin, at least he can keep his life beautiful and have no regrets. So at the end of the movie, both of them are willing to create a beautiful scene for the little boy - the magic cave, as the end of life.
As an adult, my sister couldn't accept such a life ending in the end, and she didn't accept death at all, partly because he trusted her husband too much (although she was always worried that the planet would hit the earth and cause life destruction), so never thought about the cause of death. Personally, maybe this is easy to accept, especially when I was told, yes, it is so cruel, human beings will become extinct, and no earth creatures will even be spared, and I should be as calm as the heroine. face.
When the movie is nearing the end, the ending is already seen, because the slow motion at the beginning of the movie is the real ending. At the end, I also thought of the beginning of the movie to start believing the words of the heroine.
In addition, this "dance of death" diagram clearly illustrates Melancholia's orbital path: edge - away - final impact. But my sister didn't know why, when she was in the orbit where Melancholy began to move away, she believed that this was the result, and was relieved.
