"Breaking the waves" is a 19th-century Brondi romantic and dark film. The film is divided into eight chapters. Although it seems a bit ironic from the wedding chapter to the funeral chapter, the beginning of these chapters has a beautiful scenery and a beautiful music to set off the whole story. The color of the scenery is a bit like Oil painting and music also feel very comfortable, showing the emotions of every chapter. The film has the tactics used by director Lars von Trier, simple characters, plots, shaky and arbitrary lens language, and it depicts the simple but not simple, and the extreme people and things in the ordinary. If the director has a strong criticism and condemnation in the film, it is the intense desire and passion that burst out of the depths of human nature when facing the stubborn traditional constraints, and there are sharp and irreconcilable contradictions with it, and at the same time in the higher one. The philosophy of the layers highly questioned the religious paranoia and the suppression of human nature. Emily Watson, who plays Beth, has become the biggest highlight of the film. Although it is the first screen, she has already shown her proficient acting skills.

Lars Von Trier’s movie screen is really terrible. Even if he knows the development of the plot, he is still psychologically tortured with Emily Watson and does not know what to do. That kind of grief, fearless and regretless sacrifice is really ridiculous. In the performance, Watson did a bone-in performance, and the audience felt a real pain. However, I feel sad and regretful for the performance of Caitlin Katliji. The failure to receive the performance is definitely an unjust case in an unjust case. Screen rewatch

The erotic "The Passion of the Holy Maiden" is a powerful attack on "cannibalism" religious asceticism and hierarchy. But what is very paradoxical is that after the seemingly ridiculous sacrifice, Lars von Trier turned his pen and ink, mortals were redeemed, and the holy voice of heaven spread throughout the world. The ambiguous stance on religion is exactly the same as that in "The Fourteen Stations of the Crucible". Perhaps, what he hates is only this religious alienation that deviates from the fundamental principle.
