love

This film tells a pitiful and heart-wrenching love story in a village shrouded in a strong religious atmosphere.
Without intense sensational treatment, lack of tragic face, even the characters appear too plain. The story arises in love, love continues in the story, everything is so natural,

but the following story is not so plain. Life was shattered by a sudden disaster, and love was crying secretly. A man who has lost his consciousness of survival can only suffer from desire. A woman who loves her husband makes a

pitiful sacrifice in exchange for a miracle. All this is for love, only for the continuation of the love between him and her.
Love is always the victim of tragedy. If you lose your sorrow, maybe love is no longer love. Lars von Trier's unique love, there are no tears after seeing it, but sad blood is flowing in his heart

    I can't stand it when I see half of it, I really hate Emily Watson

    This trilogy by the Danish director actually makes me regret watching it. . . The heroines are all a little neurotic, and then a bizarre to paranoid idea pushes them to do what leads to the final tragedy. . . But even if Bess's husband survives and can walk, and Selma's son can heal his eyes, what's the point of losing them? The director has been talking about a kind of perverted female sacrifice. . .

Breaking the Waves quotes

  • Bess McNeill: [as God] Bess McNeill, for many years you've prayed for love. Shall I take it away from you again, is that what you want?

    Bess McNeill: Oh, no. I'm still grateful for love.

    Bess McNeill: [as God] What do you want, then?

    Bess McNeill: I pray for Jan to come home.

    Bess McNeill: [as God, in an impatient voice] He will be coming home in ten days. You must learn to endure, you know that.

    Bess McNeill: I can't wait.

    Bess McNeill: [as God] This is unlike you, Bess. Out there, there are people who need Jan and his work. What about them?

    Bess McNeill: They don't matter. Nothing else matters. I just want Jan home again. I pray to you, oh please. Won't you send him home?

    Bess McNeill: [as God] Are you sure that's what you want?

    Bess McNeill: Yes.

  • Bess McNeill: Have you taken my calendar?

    Dodo McNeill: What? No I have not. What would I want with your calendar?

    Bess McNeill: You've taken it.

    Dodo McNeill: I have not taken it.

    Bess McNeill: Yes you have.

    Dodo McNeill: I don't know what you're talking about. What calendar?

    Bess McNeill: Where is it?

    Dodo McNeill: [returns to the room with Bess's calendar] Bess, you have to stop all this, you know. I mean you've got to go on living when he's not here. I mean he's not dead. You're not dead.

    Bess McNeill: Give it to me.

    Dodo McNeill: You've got to stop it.

    [Bess rearranges the ripped up calendar, staring at the words "I love Jan" on the corner]
