I want to give you a hug if I can

Beth's yearning for love is like every girl who is pregnant with spring, but in reality, no one thinks this yearning is reasonable, no, except for his Yang, Yang respects her, loves her, Yang's love for her is based on a basic not with control, with contempt, with self-righteous sympathy, like everyone else in town or even Beth's mother.
I watched this movie with spoilers, the sweetness of the first two chapters was like a ticking time bomb It haunts me like the sugar coating outside the lotus heart that you already know, the sweeter the sugar coating, the more afraid of the bitterness that is about to endure, but Beth is so beautiful, she seduces me to look.
She haunts even whether it is her own prayer She brought this disaster to her lover. She hoped that her lover would come back to life. She wanted him to wake up and do whatever it took to do it. Is it worth it? God didn't give her the answer.
I think, Beth doesn't need it, just Like the church doesn't need bells, we can still knock the boat gang.

    [Exhibited at China Film Archive] She is a schizophrenic, neurotic, emotionally fluctuating lunatic, prostitute, and a kind-hearted, crazy lover, and saintess who sacrificed for love. Impressive. At the end of the stroke of magic, as soon as the screen sound came out, I burst into tears. Each chapter is 20 minutes long, and the music selection is excellent. Hand-held photography, female consciousness awakening, undisguised sex scenes, hysterical venting, unmasking religious hypocrisy...that's Lars von Trier! This is awesome! I love this movie.

    【Dogma95 transition film/8.3】①Non-traditional narrative: rough with truth, gentle with humor (tragedy) ②Christian dogmatism irony (how can you love written words more than God himself; the church without a bell and the death knell) ③ "Stupidity" "Goodness (Confucianism and various sects of Christ have trained such silly girls) ps: Why does Emily always play the role of either rushing to have sex with her sister's husband, or having sex with someone else for her husband...

Breaking the Waves quotes

  • Bess McNeill: [as God] Bess McNeill, for many years you've prayed for love. Shall I take it away from you again, is that what you want?

    Bess McNeill: Oh, no. I'm still grateful for love.

    Bess McNeill: [as God] What do you want, then?

    Bess McNeill: I pray for Jan to come home.

    Bess McNeill: [as God, in an impatient voice] He will be coming home in ten days. You must learn to endure, you know that.

    Bess McNeill: I can't wait.

    Bess McNeill: [as God] This is unlike you, Bess. Out there, there are people who need Jan and his work. What about them?

    Bess McNeill: They don't matter. Nothing else matters. I just want Jan home again. I pray to you, oh please. Won't you send him home?

    Bess McNeill: [as God] Are you sure that's what you want?

    Bess McNeill: Yes.

  • Bess McNeill: Have you taken my calendar?

    Dodo McNeill: What? No I have not. What would I want with your calendar?

    Bess McNeill: You've taken it.

    Dodo McNeill: I have not taken it.

    Bess McNeill: Yes you have.

    Dodo McNeill: I don't know what you're talking about. What calendar?

    Bess McNeill: Where is it?

    Dodo McNeill: [returns to the room with Bess's calendar] Bess, you have to stop all this, you know. I mean you've got to go on living when he's not here. I mean he's not dead. You're not dead.

    Bess McNeill: Give it to me.

    Dodo McNeill: You've got to stop it.

    [Bess rearranges the ripped up calendar, staring at the words "I love Jan" on the corner]
