    Too many people think it's good, but I think there are only two words: contrived. The film is full of sensational atmosphere, as if you are not reconciled if you don't cry, the more I feel uncomfortable and moved, In my eyes, this so-called great mother is nothing but a weak woman who cannot be submissive in life.

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.
