Admit that love is stronger than death

2008-01-21 I

watched "Breaking the Waves" at 5:40 in the morning. Tears rolled down at the last second and hurt my eyes.
I want to say again that I will not like Lars von Trier's films anyway.
I will. I resent him for making a good person too weak, and let her bear the hardness that a weak life cannot bear.
I will resent him for the cruel talent he seems to be born with, and resenting his ability to apply such talent evenly to every scene. I would resent him for
killing a life that couldn't resist without hesitation,

a religious maniac whose tales always have a heaven above all things, the only end of suffering, and those who
have faith can. Temporarily escape from despair, but only death is the cessation of despair.

Why does he always let a person who has tried his best to destroy can only regenerate the person he loves hysterically.
The hardness of life regenerates in a state of destruction after a hopeless struggle
It's a miracle from Russ, I close my eyes and admit that love is stronger than death

    [Exhibited at China Film Archive] She is a schizophrenic, neurotic, emotionally fluctuating lunatic, prostitute, and a kind-hearted, crazy lover, and saintess who sacrificed for love. Impressive. At the end of the stroke of magic, as soon as the screen sound came out, I burst into tears. Each chapter is 20 minutes long, and the music selection is excellent. Hand-held photography, female consciousness awakening, undisguised sex scenes, hysterical venting, unmasking religious hypocrisy...that's Lars von Trier! This is awesome! I love this movie.

    【Dogma95 transition film/8.3】①Non-traditional narrative: rough with truth, gentle with humor (tragedy) ②Christian dogmatism irony (how can you love written words more than God himself; the church without a bell and the death knell) ③ "Stupidity" "Goodness (Confucianism and various sects of Christ have trained such silly girls) ps: Why does Emily always play the role of either rushing to have sex with her sister's husband, or having sex with someone else for her husband...

Breaking the Waves quotes

  • Judge: Listen man, you had the deceased in your care. The court would like to hear the medical facts.

    Dr. Richardson: If... if you'd, um... if you were to ask me again to write... um... the conclusion, then... instead of writing "neurotic" or, um, "psychotic" uh, I might... just, um... use a word like... "good".

    Judge: Good?

    Dr. Richardson: Yes.

    Judge: You wish the records of this court to state that, in your medical opinion, the deceased was suffering from being good?

    Judge: Perhaps this was the psychological defect that led her to her death!

    Judge: Is that what we shall write Doctor Richardson?

    Dr. Richardson: [pause] No. Of course not.

  • Bess McNeill: Father, why aren't you with me?

    Bess McNeill: [as God] I am with you Bess. What do you want from me?

    Bess McNeill: [overjoyed] Where where you?

    Bess McNeill: [as God] Well don't you think I have other people who want to talk to me?

    Bess McNeill: Well of course. I hadn't thought of that.

    Bess McNeill: [as God] There's this silly little thing called Bess who keeps on wanting me to talk to her. And my work's been piling up a bit.

    Bess McNeill: But you're with me now?

    Bess McNeill: [as God] Of course I am, Bess. You know that.

    Bess McNeill: Thank you.
