It's so quiet~~~

I watched this film yesterday, because BJORK is a female singer I like very much, so I have been thinking about what kind of role she will play in such a famous film~ After watching it, my first reaction was I don't understand, can you give up your life for the sake of your children's light?

The tone at the beginning of the film is very depressing, a single mother, a person who can't see the light in life, her only belief is to save enough money in exchange for the light of her child, so that he can see his grandson~ So, she kept working, all the time~~ Moreover, there are many people around her who care about her and give her possible help~ Seeing this, we can believe that there will be a bright future in the end

, but the story has just just begun At first, out of sympathy for the landlord, they exchanged secrets with each other, but she paid a heavy price~

She is not wrong, that is her hard-earned money, that is the direction she has been working towards, Why can others take it all away so easily? Death, for the landlord who has lost his dignity, is a relief~~ but not for her!

A bleak life, her heart is still full of longing for life, I believe she is a romantic idealist, anywhere, as long as she can hear a voice, her heart will play a brilliant color, here, BJORK The unique voice perfectly interprets the passion in the heart that is not good at words. JEFF asked her: Can't you see? She pondered, suddenly, the background changed, the music played, and such a sad question got a warm response~~ Yes, how strong she is, she is not willing to be defeated by life, she still has her own children~~ The dark world No longer scary~~ Is this the power of a mother?

In the end, she was brought to trial, and her fate lay in the hands of so many ignorant people: the pleasure-seeking landlady, the indirect murderer; the head of the community musical theatre, who took advantage of her love of music, The traitor who handed her over to the police; the lawyer who pushed him to the brink of death for his own good~~

No one in court, said a word for her, and herself, equally silent, for the ridiculousness of the deceased Dignity, for her own promise~

When things start to turn around and she has a chance to regain her life, she is nervous and excited, who doesn't want to live? But, in the end, her eyes dimmed, she exercised her right as a mother and gave up herself~~stubborn and distressing~~

107 steps, the ladder to death~~When death was so close, she finally felt Fear, despair, even, unable to walk~~ What a terrible word! Countless times she sang in her heart and danced in her own world, but she still couldn't get rid of the bondage of fate~~ The cruel reality finally decided everything...

On the gallows, she started screaming and crying wantonly, how much Cruel punishment, but, at this time, a friend gave her son glasses, she knew that he was already undergoing surgery~~ Suddenly, she became quiet~~ Her face appeared quiet like never before, singing softly, dear child , don't be afraid~ sing softly like a mother who sings a lullaby, how I hope a miracle happens, as it is usually seen~~

she is still singing, this is not the last song, this only But it's the penultimate song~~Suddenly, the platform falls, and death comes.......

    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".
