Everything in Its Right Place

Warning, this movie could be emotionally disturbing, viewer discretion is advised.

There aren't many movies worth writing about after watching them. This is not one of them.

I am not suicidal in any way but I can understand why people find no reason to pretend being alive. By saying that, I never thought about what it looks alike to finish one person's own life. I mean it doesn't make any logic or biologic sense. Most movies don't tell you much detail about the process. This movie keeps focusing on the details of actress's hesitation, which is pretty interesting.

Maybe it has something to do with the mood. The whole night, I was waiting for my girlfriend to show up on MSN. Almost the same moment I accept it as a lonely night, I was strike by the connection between loneliness and suicide. And it makes perfect sense. Most importantly, there is a happy ending. He and she were holding hands and ran away. Even though, I am sipping my wine and typing out these words all by myself, I feel comfort and relieved. There is still hope, after all.

Music, another power tool in this movie, I love it. “Everything in its right place” from Radiohead was awesome.

    Ideas are too mainstream. I originally thought it was someone who was going to die, or that was going to die. What's wrong with others? Why do so many people stop her like dogs?

    You almost touched me! What is so arrogant about a quack doctor and kind father... The backlit of that piano scene was so comfortable, but masturbation is unnecessary, right?

Veronika Decides to Die quotes

  • Mari: You know, I heard you last night. playing the piano in a way I've rarely heard before. I recognized that you played with so much soul because you know you're going to die. I thought, 'I'm going to die. Where's my soul?' I lost it... to a husband and a job and a house I never had the courage to leave. Now, today I feel it again.

    Veronika: I wasn't myself last night. Or maybe I really was. Nothing makes any sense anymore.

    Mari: Some people go their whole lives searching for one moment like the one you had, and never achieve it. You had a thousand in you.

  • Dr. Blake: These days most people have replaced almost all their emotions with fear, and everyone has dreams but only a few realize them - makes cowards of the rest of us.

    Veronika: Even if the few are right?

    Dr. Blake: Particularly then.
