Please take a look at the movie review before criticizing this movie. . . thanks. .

There are very few opportunities to watch movies (it's hard to see when it is blocked outside). . . The movie was accidentally seen on Bilibili.com. . . It was a pop-up website, and I, a child who had never written a movie review, was forced to bear the abuse by the pop-up screen. . . So I wrote a lot of nonsense messages. . . Then it was thrown here by some seniors, hoping to calm down all kinds of incomprehensible radicals. . .

Below is the text thank you. . . . . .

Melancholia, in the article is likened to "depression star", the English literal translation is depression, depression.
The red star is called the "depression star", which implies that standing in the inner world of depressed patients (or about to enter depression), when the depression star comes, their world will be destroyed.
(Friendly reminder, all kinds of children who understand disaster films and plague disaster films can stop here~)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I made a bold false test. In fact, my sister’s husband is also a depression patient:
from several aspects, first, his temper is very hot (this is bipolar depression); second, only those who suffer from or are about to suffer from depression can When he saw the star, he could see it, and before he saw the impending collision, he would commit suicide (this is the common nature of people with depression, that is, they feel that their world is beyond saving, and there is only despair, so before it is completely destroyed, Suicide is the best relief).

And my sister, the whole process of depression is shown in the film. From not knowing the star (without the "guidance" of the sister and the "guidance and stimulation" of the husband), to being able to see the star; from the boundary where only the younger sister cannot cross the forest (note that at the beginning, only the younger sister could not wear the boundary) Yes, my sister's horse can.) In the end, my sister couldn't pass through. The whole castle area is actually the whole world of the depressed person. People who suffer from it can't pass, and even the horse that my sister trusts and relies on cannot take her out.

(Friendly science~ Generally speaking, the best treatment for depression is through the help of the people closest to you. If you are "depressed" (note that it is not depression, the difference between depression and depression will be explained after I finish the film review~ ), then please don’t imagine that you can come out on your own, it will be fine one day, just like one day it will suddenly be bad... The only effective means of depression: drugs to control emotions, then professional guidance, the closest person assistance)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Looking back on my sister,
my sister’s depression is actually a precursor. Depression is very hereditary. That is to say, if there is a depression patient in the family, the relatives are very likely to be “susceptible people”, just like a cold. It's the same as a virus, but it's a "gene virus". It doesn't mean that you don't want to be depressed, so you don't have to be depressed

. As for the parents of the sisters at the beginning, I'm not sure if I didn't understand some of their jokes on the father's side, but as far as the behavior of the spoon is concerned, it's somewhat abnormal, so I can't say there is a problem, but at least in terms of thinking Very jumpy and incomprehensible. In addition, her mother, a typical semi-depressed person, has no direct manifestations of typical depression, but can be expressed as "hostile" to anything for no reason, for example, with a straight face all her life.
So for sisters' families, divorce is an acquired inducement, mother is acquired and congenital, and it is hard to say on the father's side for the time being.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Turning back to a few details of
my sister, why should I look at the horse when I know it's too late? Why do you want to take a bath even knowing that so many people are waiting? Because in my mind [it's not that I can't distinguish the priority from the secondary, it's not that I don't know what to do is right. ] But clearly know what to do, but just can't do it. Don't ask me why they don't do something that even simple thinking can understand. I just want to say that at that moment, you can't force yourself to do the simple 'should do' things, you can only do what is in your head.

Another detail also includes the fact that the car was too long at the beginning, the groom was anxious but the younger sister didn’t care at all, and the attention was entirely in one’s own thinking. Of course, this can be understood as being optimistic and cheerful, but the premise is that you have no underlying cause of depression. . Otherwise, this is actually the initial manifestation of many mental illnesses: you can only immerse yourself in your own thinking consciousness, and make judgments and evaluations that are completely illogical, or only in your own logic, to the outside world, including yourself: including not being able to drive but still " Over-assessing one's own abilities", including watching horses regardless of priority, taking a bath, driving out to look at the stars, and leaving the wedding scene with his nephew to bed.

The initial manifestations of depression include this uncontrolled thinking and behavior; also include inexplicable panic under pressure (going to the mother's room to cry), irritability (putting books compulsively for no reason);
and most importantly, The incentives for these "pressures" are unreasonable or "trivial" to outsiders. For example, she is being forced by the boss to make an advertisement. ) in order to make her happy, but the self-blame and pressure when they couldn't do what they were satisfied with.

At the end of the first stage, that is, the end of the wedding, the boss fell out, the husband left, the father also left, and the mother did not understand her daughter's "restlessness".
From here, the heroine completely loses the ability to communicate and understand with the outside world.
(One point can be mentioned, the heroine is the art director, and there are many people who are engaged in art. If they want to achieve success, they will always be a little different in their thinking. It depends on whether the "acquired environment" processing will deviate.)

In addition, you can mention At a certain point, she could only be accepted by her sister's family. In fact, she went to that "their manor", and that manor was isolated from the world. Even the "planet" hitting the earth was not reported, known, or confirmed. Obviously, this is a world that exists only according to their thinking. Here, my brother-in-law mentioned hitting the earth for the first time, even earlier than my sister's first "prediction". I don't know if I should say that my sister and brother-in-law actually entered depression earlier than my sister in the form of a "normal person". disease.

In addition, in the first few days of my sister (the heroine) moving in, my sister mentioned that the godfather disappeared. This is actually a metaphor. The godfather is holy and trustworthy in the hearts of foreigners. Just like Jesus, he can wash away all his darkness (Christian teaching, people are all sinful, and God sent Jesus to atone for mankind), the godfather is gone, It means giving up completely to the family. Since then, the family has happily lived a life of a beautiful house man and house girl who is isolated from the world, does not work and does not go out to watch the stars and the moon!
(La la la... Ignore my nerves...)
But this is actually a manifestation of depression, not communicating with the outside world. The lack of communication here is not simply not going out, not talking, or not interacting with friends. On the contrary, in the film It can be seen that the brother-in-law cares and communicates with the elder sister, the elder sister with the child and the heroine's younger sister. . In a sense, I don't know if get has reached the director's point. What he wants to express is that the depressed patient just completely lost contact with the non-depressed (the world of normal people), but the depressed patients themselves have their own world.

------Whether this is a beautiful interpretation of depression or different mental illnesses, or whether depression or various mental illnesses really have their estates, in short, the purpose is for us normal people to understand: don't think They are abnormal people, please be merciful to all kinds of children!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

And their son, at first I thought he was also dragged into the water by the family to "face destruction". In fact, I think the author is also a metaphor here. In such an environment, family, including heredity, children cannot escape bad luck (this is why depression has a strong family expression).

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The second act, the second stage.
In the second stage, the younger sister is a typical manifestation of severe depression, such as being unable to take care of herself in life, thinking that she cannot take a taxi, unwilling to take a bath and eat, only willing to sleep, self-denial of everything, fear of everything, or fearless and useless (in I really want to scold some of the comments in the comment area again, please leave a word before you speak); I believe that many textbooks have written about this, because the symptoms are too obvious.

So I won't explain more, but focus on those "incomprehensible symptoms". .


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the third stage, my sister was obviously quiet. Not because the symptoms are relieved, but completely trapped in my own world, thinking that "death" has been predicted, so I wait to die (another manifestation is the suicide of my brother-in-law I mentioned earlier). She has also tried to escape in the current one, but when she finds that even the most beloved horse can't help her, she will beat the horse uncontrollably and angrily.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the second and third stages, everyone can pay attention to it. There is a dividing line in the chapter. It is written as "'sister chapter'", which actually means that, starting from the second stage, it can be understood how the elder sister was brought into depression. Or maybe it was already potentially living in a depressed world, but it was just discovered.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Okay, a lot of nonsense. . . .
Going back to one of the issues mentioned at the beginning: depression and depression.

Depressed patients are not simply unhappy, but those who are sad can only be called depression, not depression, not depression, not depression. All those people who say that they are depressed, sad, do not want to do things, and seem to have various symptoms of depression, are not depression, just depression. The difference is that all your thoughts and moods are still controlled by external events and logic. For example, there is a reason for being unhappy, there is a reason for wanting to cry, and there is a reason for not wanting to do anything. A bodily response to your own mood.
But depression is not. Happy and unhappy, want to do and don't want to do, what to do or not to do, there is no reason. It just came in an instant, and there was no way to control it.

One of the prerequisites for medically defining depression is that you must maintain depressive symptoms for at least two weeks, and no external events can affect your symptoms in the middle, then you can start to define the possibility of early potential depression. This is the time to start medication.

(So ​​I touch those children who are broken-hearted and all kinds of unhappy children, congratulations you are just depressed, not sick yet, you can still be saved)

I saw someone mentioned the director's interview, saying that the original intention was to associate depression with "prophet or strong perceptual ability." people", a certain angle, is indeed a well-intentioned interpretation. However, in actual performance, there are indeed essential similarities. I said, don't ask a depressed person why you suddenly do this, don't do that, why you are suddenly unhappy. No reason, like a kind of prophet.

So, beg the kids who commented to be merciful. People who have never had cancer will not know what it feels like to watch themselves die, just like please don’t ask cancer patients [Why are you still dying after taking so many drugs! ]
This property is the same as some comments in the comment area.

    Many similar pictures, such as poetic slow motion and oil painting-like pictures, have been seen in Feng Trier's previous works, but they used to be embellishments, but now they are full of emotional catharsis. Contempt for love, disgust for life, and arrogance, leaving only the pursuit of beauty, the praise of death, and the wanton exaggeration of fear and romance. If the only thing left in the movie is the pursuit of beauty, then it will be more or less like this.

    #SIFF# is most fortunate to see this film for the first time on the big screen, the sacred effect of the cinema magnifies the film's most obvious advantages - soundtrack, camera lens, special effects. Justin is melancholic because he predicts the coming of the Melancholy Star and destroys every relationship with everyone around him, and because of the end of the day, he predicts that there is "nothing but life on earth that is about to disappear". Similarly, thinking about the relationship between the existence of the universe and people, the tree of life is obviously more advanced.

Melancholia quotes

  • Justine: I smile, and I smile, and I smile.

  • Justine: But I tried, Claire.

    Claire: You did. I know you did.
