Sometimes it's like a planet hitting the earth and everything pauses

The premise is that I have a history of depression for seven years, recent relapse, and medication.

In fact, I have seen this film a long time ago, and I have watched it quite a few times. When the depression has not recurred, I can probably understand the mentality of the heroine doing those strange things.

How should I put it? One of the things I realized is that the heroine has an obvious tendency to self-destruct. The reason for her self-destruction is that she wants to stop, and what to do when she stops? Whatever you do is fine, as long as you don't face it, you won't have emotional stress, you won't have emotional breakdowns, you can make yourself comfortable, and escape is shameful but useful. After discovering that it couldn't be stopped, self-destruction turned to non-human or unknown power, and the planet appeared like this, and she accepted it calmly.

Self-destruction, self-blame, self-reflection, suicide.

Melancholia quotes

  • Jack: Too bad about Tim.

    Justine: What about Tim?

    Jack: That he got fired. he didn't last many hours in the business, but then again, it's a rather unpredictable one. You're a king one day and beggar the next.

    [to Tim]

    Jack: So, you go right back to wherever you came from, right, buddy?

  • Justine: I was just thinking - what if instead we try and sell you to the public, Jack? Well then, surprisingly, I'd arrive right back where I started from - at nothing.

    Tim: "Nothing." It's not such a bad tagline, Jack.

    Jack: Would my newly pledged A.D. please expand a little on her thoughts of the tagline?

    Justine: Nothing is too much for you, Jack. I hate you and your firm so deeply I couldn't find the words to describe it. You are a despicable power-hungry little man, Jack.

    Jack: Is that a resignation? Because they aren't too many jobs out there, I tell you.
