Sometimes I think, what happened to Lars Von Trier, why are the heroines in his films so "miserable"? Although I have only watched his "Breaking the Waves", "Dancer in the Darkness", "Dog Town" and "Melancholia", the heroine's experience in the film is really tragic and very "depressing". In "Breaking the Waves", the heroine Beth satisfies her seriously ill husband's idea of letting her have sex, and tells him about her love affair with a strange man, because he firmly believes in the power of faith, she cheats, and only then can his husband get better. But in the end, her husband reluctantly signed the order for her to return to the mental hospital. She was hurt and finally died. In "Dancer in the Darkness", because the heroine is a visually impaired patient, she cannot do many jobs, and she can only work with meager income. And, more unfortunately, her son also suffers from visual impairment due to genetics. So, she decided to save money to operate on her son. But inadvertently, the neighbor who was in financial difficulties next door saw where she hid her money and stole her money, while she was falsely accused of being a money investor. In the end, he was sentenced to death. In "Dog Town", the heroine is a stranger. She treats all people in the town equally and kindly with the idea of treating people with sincerity and others will treat me with sincerity. And how did the people in the town treat her? Insult her and oppress her, regardless of age or gender. Finally, when the heroine's father finds her, she agrees with the gangster's father and kills everyone in the town. In "Melancholia", the heroine suffers from depression, and at the wedding, she ran away from the groom. Live with my sister's family temporarily. At this time, an asteroid is approaching the earth step by step. My brother-in-law chooses to commit suicide because of the fear of the asteroid hitting the earth. At the end of the film, in a bright light, the heroine and her sister embrace each other and accept death. The faith and sacrifice of the heroine in "Breaking the Waves", the tenacity and patience of the heroine in "Dancer in the Darkness", the kindness of the heroine in "Dog Town", these qualities praised by the secular world, but finally pushed them into the abyss . Lars Von Trier polarized good and evil, black and white, and let the world see how those qualities they praised drove those who believed in it to desperation and killed people. And the seemingly deviant Lars Von Trier is very gentle. In "Breaking the Waves", although the heroine is dead, she has left that desolate, depressed, conservative town in Scotland where women cannot speak in church, and do not use bells to express their respect to God. There is a long-lost bell in the sky. Greetings to God, faith, and sacrifice of the heroine's kindness and devotion. "Dog Town", finally took over the hand of the gangster father and killed the sanctimonious and self-righteous "beasts" in Dog Town. "Melancholia", why patients with depression must be normal, the so-called normal world, not Can you accommodate them? The seemingly normal brother-in-law chose to commit suicide because he could not stand the fear of an asteroid impact. The heroine of the melancholic patient finally hugged her sister, facing the impact of the asteroid calmly, and welcoming death under the huge light. The film is divided into eight parts, namely: Chapter 1 bess gets married, Chapter 2 life with jan, Chapter 3 life alone, Chapter 4 jan's illness, Chapter 5 doubt, Chapter 6 faith, Chapter 7 bess' sacrifice, at the end of the funeral. The music at the beginning of each chapter and the imagery of the Impressionist oil painting style are very quiet, but the plot goes to despair, which is very contrasting. Emily Watson's performance, heartbreaking, to praise her acting. Sometimes she is rewarded by love and faith, pure as an angel; sometimes she is a secular woman who satisfies her husband and believes in the power of faith, a union of saintess and prostitutes. When the child throws stones at Beth, and Beth pushes the bicycle with difficulty in torn clothes, it is so desperate. She was Magdalene at that time. It's a once-in-a-lifetime performance. In "Breaking the Waves" and "She's Lonely Than Fireworks", she has performed once in every film. As an actor, she can be proud of the heroes and has no regrets in her life. sacrifice, ending the funeral.
