      Five stars, by the way, criticize those who stand on the moral high ground

      You are standing on the top of morality, pointing at this and pointing at that, as if you were a rational person who couldn't make mistakes.

      Those of us at the foot of the mountain look at you like the monkeys on the Monkey Mountain, ridiculous and pitiful.

      Have you ever subbed in why this person would do this?

      Have you ever imagined yourself living at the bottom and having eye problems?

      Do you have...

      Suffocation and heaviness

      Vision gradually degenerates, the light gradually fades away, echoing the whole film, in the suffocated living environment, the loss of freedom is so terrible. And this isn't a fictional story, it's what's happening.

      In the footage that revolves around people at the bottom of American society, we see positive mutual assistance and harmony and friendship among neighbors.

      "Can't you see it?" "What's so beautiful." Eyes...

      Ruth's secret weapon

      Xiao Lu once said that the movie is just a slice of aspirin, in order to express his yearning for Hollywood movies. But classmate Russ is not so good. He not only buried the gas bomb in the movie to let the audience sublimate together in the tragedy, but also added a little arsenic viciously, and wanted to poison the United States altogether: what aspirin, try me of arsenic.

      This gas bomb is like tear gas, it can be used for aphrodisiac, and it can even make the audience willing, and...

      2007-09-30

      I know this must not be the kind of film
      I like. I said that when I watch the film I like, the tears can only stick in my throat at most , but
      when I watch it, the menacing tears make the pillow wet and
      I don't speak. Thinking about
      sitting in an unlit dorm for a long time
      and still unable to calm down the depression in my breath

      Her persistent thoughts, the silent wounds of the viewers

      "Passion is the lifeblood of cinema, and passion can create many different image forms."
              - "Dancer in the Dark" director/screenwriter Lars von Trier
              
      Wedge
              
              This is an unusual and even alternative film, a It is a musical and dance film that pleases the audience without being grandstanding, a simple but great musical that violently collides with reality, a record that reflects the distance between reality and ideal, and a long hymn of faith...

      2/10. This film has inspired my potential as a von Trier with a black brain, not to mention that the fusion of sagema 95 and the form of singing and dancing is out of tune, I have no sympathy for this kind of practice of holding the mentally ill as the Virgin and reaching out to the audience for tears, and the story is thin The filming was so stinky, Björk had been giggling like a brainless jerk and wanted to slap her in the mouth! In order to criticize human nature and regard the audience's...

      Holy crap, I didn't notice Catherine DeNafoy and the supporting actor in Prison Break when I was watching the DVD. . . . . . The Blu-ray version is really prepared for this kind of high myopia. . ....

      The first half seems to be very mainstream, fresh and lively, but it does not hinder the huge darkness that permeates the whole film, just like Lars von Trier's style. The rough and highly realistic dogma95 image touches the tragic despair of the bottom society and the ruthless blindness of the judiciary, especially the hanging and "107 steps" at the end are shocking, and the depiction of the inner song and dance and the cruel reality are seamless. docking. Bjork's melancholy, psychedelic...

    "Dancer in the Dark" is the last part of the "Golden Heart Trilogy" by the outstanding Danish director Lars after " Breaking the waves " and "Idiot". It is said that the inspiration for shooting these trilogy came from one of his favorite fairy tales: a little girl went to play in the forest. She had bread in her hand and toys in her pocket, but she happily took everything along the way. She gave to the people around her, and in the...

    Shooting process

    The background of the film was set in the State of Washington , which was actually shot in Sweden. There are some small roles played by Swedish actors, and they are dubbed by people with an accent of The United States of America.
    Shortly after the beginning of the movie, when the workers came out of the factory, we could briefly see a man and a woman, each holding a child, waiting for the bus at the station. This woman is the wife of...

    I like Feng very much. Trier, the angle and inspiration of his photographs are so unique. The heroine of the film is played by the Icelandic singer Bjork, and is also a singer I like very much. She has a lot of wonderful singing in the film. She unexpectedly performed in a crossover, and she performed it perfectly. (Actor Helen Tao ) 
    Selma's song reminded me of Shi Tiesheng's enlightenment and Buddha's enlightenment. That may be the...
