The film tells the story of the Czech immigrant Sama (Bjork) who works in a rural factory in the United States. She is a single mother with a 9-year-old boy. She is gentle and kind by nature. Because of her congenital genetic disease, her vision is blurred and she is becoming blind. In order to prevent her son who inherited the disease from becoming blind, Sama worked hard and worked hard to make money. When her unwitting friend Linda (Catherine Danif) kindly persuaded her, she always smiled, which made her gratified. However, before her eyes were going completely blind, she basically collected the expenses for her son’s surgery. However, at this moment, an accident happened and her money was stolen by the landlord Bill. In order to regain the money, Sama missed and killed it. Bill. Fate pushes Sama into a complex and miserable situation. Fortunately, she has another world. Her obsession and passion for music make her enjoy the beauty and quiet in it, which is enough to resist the difficult reality and tragic fate. The word "darkness" in the title is a pun, which not only points out that the heroine Sama has fallen into darkness due to blindness, but also alludes to the dark side of reality. The "dancer" is the explanation of the heroine Sama's identity and the interpretation of her pursuit of an ideal world, as well as the film's metaphor for a better life. Black means mystery, terror, and death. Each of us has to experience the dark night, but what we look forward to in the dark night is the bright stars and the bright moon. Sama is the stars and moon in the night, lighting up the lamp of our life with her dreams and love.

To recognize this film, we must understand how profound and heavy Von Trier's understanding of "evil" is, in order to understand why he created this kind and almost deformed character, just like Pierre, "War and Peace" in "War and Peace". Duke Myshkin in Idiot", they are all kind and even a bit devious images, but the writer actually thinks about the marginal issue of "the ultimate good" in ethics through them, so although this film is not lacking in deliberate and provocative However, in today's society where people are prevalent with "selfish" inferences, Selma, a character with a high degree of "goodness" in a sense, should exist, just like Von Trier's anachronism as always.

The film was nominated for Best Original Song at the 73rd Academy Awards. Again, it's neither a first-person perspective nor a documentary film. What are you shaking the camera for? ! Also find a Parkinson's patient to do photography. Shaking purely for the sake of shaking makes the audience spend too much energy capturing the picture rather than understanding the plot. The plot is also puzzling. Common sense blind people will have more sensitive and focused other senses, but the heroine can only imagine that this is dementia, not blindness.
