However he is trim, fit and alert. The bride and groom are toasted, and speeches are made, with Justine’s father (John Hurt) being silly and her mother (Charlotte Rampling) being grim.
Claire’s husband is obsessed with the cost of the wedding and his house, resenting that Justine takes a bath rather than participate in her wedding. “Everything's going to be all right” is poor comfort when you have no capacity for hope, and Claire does not believe him. Lars Von Trier did excellent work with this film. If there is a flaw in the film, it is the use of the shaky camera. Windup merchant Lars von Trier is back with a film about the end of the world – but it's not to be taken entirely seriously, The end of the world as we know it ... Melancholia. Depression is a really strange thing to have in that it makes some of the simplest tasks, such as feeding yourself and crawling out of bed, seem utterly terrifying, while at the same time filling you with a quasi-religious sense of peace and compassion when confronting the knowledge that everything that is familiar to you will ultimately not be here for long. I think the effect adds into the greater concept of what the movie is trying to portray. And so do all our friends and family members who suffer from depression. Many would-be soothsayers like to tell the depressed how much there is to live for, but it’s too difficult to really believe. Given that Justine never had a real say in any of her life it was a blessing that it ended the way it did as she was always under the social pressures to behave and act a certain way that you could tell was against her natural character. And depression is a personal disaster. 13 Reasons Why concluded its series finale in the wake of one final tragedy - here's why opting to kill off Justin Foley was the show's latest (and arguably biggest) mistake. I thought the scene in Silver Linings Playbook where he's looking for the wedding tape was very effective but the last quarter of the film let it down. She vexes on whether or not to make others happy against what her own will manifests itself as so you see a variety of behaviors from fucking a random guy at her wedding (and disregarding her husband) and also having the wedding to please her sister's husband. Perhaps this is why feel-good films are poor fare; If only it were easy to believe that things will be better. Perhaps it was introduced to make the film more realistic, but it often distracts from the film. Even if you don't deal with depression, I'd watch it. But even as a longtime Von Trier doubter, I now have to admit it grows on you; there's a mawkish fascination and some flashes of real visual brilliance, especially in the mysterious series of dream-tableaux that begin the film, which take something from both Millais's Ophelia and Resnais's Last Year at Marienbad.
Fuck silver linings and Seroquel. Justine is even aware of this cycle, bitterly asking Michael “What did you expect?”. But Dunst's perfect day is marred by emotional tensions, not least between her estranged parents, formidably but all-too-briefly played by Charlotte Rampling and John Hurt, and these tensions catastrophically unlock Justine's own tendency towards depression or indeed melancholia. Justine cheats and causes serena a grand slam. In S1, Jessica is raped by Justin's friend Bryce while she's asleep at a party. Seroquel gave 30,000 people diabetes for the rest of their lives. It was emaculately made, I cannot fault it technically in its direction, performances, cinematography or writing. Depression is like being mired in molasses, and the camera should make slow, steady movements, or not move at all. In the films world, there is no escape from death; Claire’s attempts to leave the estate would not have saved her even if she had made it. It's a very important movie for so many reasons.
I neither understood nor empathized with the characters. I suffer from depression as well, gotta' say, very well written post, but not that big a fan of the film and depiction of such. It isolates the victim, makes them feel alone in their own little bubble. Justine’s actions at the wedding become understandable in this context – she acts out because of a need to express a pain nobody understands or cares about. I believe he suffers from depression himself which may be why it's so perfect. This guy has been in a state mental ward for 8+ months. There is a nice cameo from Udo Kier as the queeny wedding planner. But she does make an effort to comfort her family, who do not share her suicidal thoughts. After the wedding, Claire learns to accept Justine, and cares for her. She vexes on whether or not to make others happy against what her own will manifests itself as so you see a variety of behaviors from fucking a random guy at her wedding (and disregarding her husband) and also having the wedding to please her sister's husband. I felt like it was a lot easier to relate to Melancholia than Silver Linings Playbook because SLP felt really rushed. Melancholia is a portrayal of depression, a film that should inspire compassion, not anger. But it offers more solace to the depressed than any happy ending could ever hope to. Justine’s grim resignation at the end speaks to a peculiar strength of the depressive mind – she cannot handle the pressures of a wedding, but faces the ultimate fear without flinching. But it offers more solace to the depressed than any happy ending could ever hope to. The film cannot give you the hope of a traditional Hollywood spectacle, but it will hold your hand through your darkest moments, and that can mean the world. In some ways, for all its silliness and self-consciousness, this is the happiest experience I've had with Von Trier for some time. The entire wedding scene, effectively the film's second act, looks suspiciously like something Von Trier might well have sketched out ages ago, inspired by Thomas Vinterberg's Festen, and crammed in here to bulk out the film. As far as everyone else is concerned, Justine is a pretty piece of property to be traded around. Notice the relationship between Justine and her father. Even Tim, a seemingly nice guy immediately tries to obtain Justine for himself when Michael breaks off the wedding.
I don't find this movie to be entirely about depression, but something much grander -- control. On the other hand, I felt like some scenes in SLP were relatable (Hemingway, wedding video scene) but they kind of turned on/off their disorders.
I can never sit down to a new Von Trier movie without thinking of Czech Dream, a cheeky work from 2004, which was a factual record of two young Czech film-makers' anti-capitalist stunt. of course Lars Von Trier suffers from depression. Well he made Antichrist so I be,I've he has gone through some shit. As someone who's been fighting depression symptoms for the past year, the 'self-indulgence' that people are ascribing to the movie describes somewhat the feeling you have when you're suffering from depression.
Depression robs you of your self-worth, your ability to reason, even just your ability to believe that anything could be good in life.
On the supposed "day of opening", thousands of bargain-hunters galloped across the field towards it and the directors filmed their reactions as these poor dupes realised there was nothing behind the piece of painted plywood. But in reality, depression eats away at the belief you can be happy again. ^ this explains purely everything! Diabetes will cost 2 million over a lifetime.
Even when her husband berates Justine’s inability to take a taxi, she patiently counsels Justine. The settlement worked out to about 80K per person before the lawyers.
Considering she did not win another french ever since then it is a big deal to me. Make no mistake, there is Freudian / Lacanian psychoanalysis to be had here. I think that's why there's an entire scene of her nudity in nature, and why Sutherland's character is this uptight jackass who wants everything to render itself in a particular way.
In his Cannes press conference, in response to a question about German Romanticism and the use of Wagner in the film, twinkle-eyed Von Trier said he sympathised with Hitler, then retracted the remark and has now retracted the retraction: none of these comments are any more serious or unserious than the action of the film itself. It's a disaster movie about an enormous blue planet called Melancholia – 20 times the size of Earth, but only half as big as the grain of salt you're going to need – which crashes into planet Earth. I remember being in the middle of anxiety attacks sobbing hysterically in bed and my boyfriend trying to just comfort me through it, and thinking I needed to make myself calm down or stop indulging the feelings of utter despair and isolation and it was borderline impossible. Her descent into an almost zombie-like catatonic depression is forceful and very sincere, but it is impossible not to remember that the stunned, glassy-eyed look is something Von Trier has elicited from other leading ladies, including Björk and Nicole Kidman: a Meg-Ryan-on-Parky look. Every time, millions of arthouse film-fans run frantically towards the latest new idea that Von Trier has set up. Instead we have manic camerawork, which detracts from the film’s statement. I just despise it, maybe it's just my disposition, maybe that's how the movie was intended to affect me, but I just fucking hate it. The thing the movie gets to me is how well it understands depression. Justin Timberlake has been accused of cheating on Jessica Biel. You don't just suddenly contract Bi-polar disorder because some dude is fucking your wife. I'm a software engineer/graduate student. he said at some point that he believes all sensible people have suffered from depression in their lives. Most of all, Justine needs understanding about her illness, someone to hold her hand and not give up on her.
She even seems to welcome it, presenting herself naked to the blue planet in the sky. He is the only one to welcome Melancholia, denying it would hit earth. Melancholia does not attempt to make anyone feel better, only offering sympathy and understanding.
Justine has the wealth to buy anything, but she wants none of it. We’d like to offer the depressed comfort in the form of a single life-changing pep talk. Her mother insults her in a toast, her boss hounds her for a tagline, her sister argues with her when she has an emotional breakdown, and her father abandons her when she needs him most. Lars von Trier, that great maestro of facetious event cinema, is back with another instrument of torture. I really did enjoy both though.
