This love is selfish.

This time, because the subtitles did not correspond, I had to rely on my poor English level to watch this movie that I have loved for many years.



"They say it's the last song. They don't know us, you see. It's only the last song if we let it be." It's



been nine years since I first watched Dancer in the dark in elementary school.

The shock at that time has basically been forgotten. Every time I recall it, it is the same scene, Bjork sings and dies.



"You've seen it all - there is no more to see." I've



read it many times, but the only one. All I know is that this is my favorite movie.

It may be desperate, it may be immoral, it may be dark, it may be sad. But what, this is love without reason.



I can't recall, I was still a primary school student at that time, why I loved this movie so much.

But looking at it now, I am still shocked.



And, this time, I was finally able to recognize each character.



Casey, such a friend, one is enough for a lifetime. I know I have, how warm, how beautiful.

Jeff, such a man, is eternally dim and eternally missed. She is gone, does he still fall in love with someone else? "I love you." This sentence is so hard to say. Fortunately, he didn't just say "Would you like to go back in my car?"

I didn't like the remaining characters. Son, he is disobedient. Bill, he's desperate but why would he pull someone into the water. Linda, I only have one word for such a woman: vanity. These are all things I don't like.



Selma, Bjork. Lonely and sad.



That face, always with a smile. The corners of his mouth have always been curved, full of hope, and at the same time sad.

In fact, she can only feel at ease when she is in music. The world in music is always so clean, never dirty things happen, always peaceful like a small village.

However, whenever she sings, she can't help trembling. This voice is too desolate, and it is destined to have no good results.

But she is as weak as each of us, unable to truly face death, what can I do to feel at ease in music. So, escape to the music.



"I listen to my heart."



Just like us, everyone can feel at ease only when they flee somewhere.



"They say it's the last song.

They don't know us, you see.

It's only the last song if we let it be."



Forgive me, forgive the world.


This love is selfish.

    Finally finished the remaining two-thirds. I felt dizzy when I held the camera, and I didn't like her singing on the Bjork CD that Stefania gave me when I was in junior high school. But this character is really stupid. One star for Bjork's acting.
