Listen to your heart.

Before she died, her girlfriend, played by Catherine Deneuve, shouted to her, who was in deep fear,
"Listen to your heart!"
Then she began to sing. It was her inner voice, the most beautiful in her life. the sound of. But now the voice was beautiful but tragic, brave but short-lived. Just as the listener was brought into her world by the song, the board on the gallows was removed, and with a plop, a life ended.
So my heart sank. The unfinished song was suffocated in his throat.
The singer's throat is blocked. It means that life is coming to an end.

You may have seen "Dancer in the Darkness", but I wonder if you have noticed this line from Shaman's girlfriend.
When a person walks the last 107 steps of his life step by step and walks to the gallows that will end his life, what kind of struggle and fear will he have in his heart?
We have no way of knowing. But at least Bjork, who played the movie, felt it.
She's said she won't be in any more movies, "Dancer in the dark" is the first and the last. Perhaps, the breath of death she feels in this role is heavier and thicker than we imagined. So she refused. Maybe she has put all her energy into the role. Of course, she died once. Therefore, the idea of ​​her refusing to act again was so decisive. Unchangeable and reluctant. Just like Bjork's personality.

I didn't have the courage to rewatch this movie before that. The first time I saw it, it took my breath away. For a few days, I was immersed in the atmosphere of the movie and couldn't extricate myself. Lying in bed at night will grab your hair and think weird things.

To this day, when I read the beginning, I can't guarantee that I have the confidence to keep reading it.
The trauma and power it brings are far beyond the reach of other films.

Shaman insists on her belief that life is no longer for herself. The woman who is about to become blind, with the great maternal love of forbearance, struggles with this world to the end. Then, after taking care of his son's affairs, he gave up. Give up the idea of ​​life, give up your girlfriend's insistence on it, give up the happiness given by your lover.

Listen to your heart.

No matter what situation and situation a person reaches, he will give up hopelessly and voluntarily.
