Although plain and easy to understand, it has its own advantages

Some people say that this movie truly described the darkness of American society in the 1960s and described human nature. The director’s inspiration came from a fairy tale: a little girl went to play in the forest. She had bread in her hand and toys in her pocket. But along the way, she happily gave everything to the people around her. Finally, she Nothing is left, I am impoverished. But she said: "Everything will go as I wish, and everything will be as good as before. I
have to admit that Shaman is an ideal figure with a beautiful meaning. She has such a great maternal love, and has worked hard for her son today. She did not consider her body at all; she was so pure and kind, even if Bill made her almost unable to accomplish the most important thing in this life, she insisted on the promise that "silence is golden"; she loves ideals so much, in the most desperate She can always sing the music that she loves in her life to drive out the darkness; she is so diligent and optimistic, she keeps smiling for life, and keeps earning money for her son’s surgery...nearly perfect image of kindness, kindness is so weak .
on the contrary, once the Bill is a good man, he loved his wife, he loved his family, he was grateful to Charmant listen to him talk and exchange secrets, he is also weak, but his son and his love of Charmant In the face of dignity, he resolutely chose the latter. With the advantage of being a visible person, the identity of a policeman supported his man’s dignity. How helpless it is, he is resentful and sympathetic, making viewers entangled. Si.
From this, these two outline the helplessness and pain of
life . In life, the weak are often kind people. Shaman is so kind, so weak, or you can say that she is stupid. You can say that she is here. In the unfair life, she maintains the purity of the corner. She has an unusual obsession with life, but I think it is precisely because of these that her tragic fate is created.
Shaman eventually died. When thinking about her favorite musical, the agency Her life came to an abrupt end. At this time, I only sighed heavily. Unlike the director’s favorite fairy tale, she gave all the beauty to others. On the contrary, she kept the beauty she thought in her heart and gave it to others. With only a weak image and a sympathetic fate, it is so tragic.
I can't agree with this attitude to life. To live like her, you will either be eliminated to the bottom of the society and never stand up, or you will only die in sorrow. Every environment has its own rules of survival. I don't want to encourage people to lose purity, but to deal with various situations flexibly in social reality. After all, we are not ideal characters living in the fairy tale world.
I think that a truly excellent movie shouldn't be so controversial, but it can find its resonance in most people and make everyone feel a little bit. After all, good art shouldn't be superb, making it difficult for many people to understand, but it is plain and easy to understand, but it has its own advantages.

    Everything happened after killing Bill... I don't understand the necessity of a large song and dance scene, simplifying (or even completely deleting) the abrupt song and dance part has almost no impact on the film, and a few scenes are quite heavy and contradictory singing and dancing On the contrary, the drama dilutes the emotions that have been brewing from beginning to end. Although there can be various explanations to pull it out of the main plot, this approach is still puzzling. Of course, similar singing and dancing tragedies are not without precedent, beautiful and kind The drama where the protagonist is in deep trouble is not the only one. However, even if the classic Hollywood musical has created many difficulties for the protagonist, it is always a candy cannonball wrapped in a happy ending, and von Trier created this film. Obviously not here. Acting in musicals is the protagonist's hobby and spiritual sustenance. That's right. It's understandable to keep Bjork's normal singing and dancing parts intact. If we say that the singing and dancing in the factory can still be regarded as a magic pen to entertain oneself and others , then the singing and dancing in the court is really out of line with the style of the whole film, and because of this, it is incredible to see comments like "moving to the death".

    The heroines in Lars von Trier's films are all alone, the dangerous soul who "kills because the world isn't enough fairy tales". An absolute right hemisphere creature, but with tenacious concentration and perfect planning. Desire dominates reason and will. Compassion, fear, unceasingly bleached obsessions (whether motherly or happy) are sucked and drained by a greedy older child. Can't help but feel sorry for them who live on the love of others, a little more, a little more.
