The film is known as the most expensive work in the history of Nordic cinema. However, just from the scene, it is difficult for people to recognize one point. Of course, perhaps most of the cost went to the heroine "Icelandic diva" Bjork. In fact, with the plot of this film, there is no need to make it into a movie at all. The form of a play or stage play is sufficient. Bjork's acting is really good! It's hard to imagine this being her screen debut. At the same time, the film is also an alternative musical. Whenever the picture is no longer dim yellow, but becomes colorful, it means entering the singing and dancing segment. Unfortunately, it is just a way for the heroine to chat and masturbate. Selma has a noble personality, pure heart and great maternal love. It's just a pity that it was ill-fated. The end of the film is both a tragedy and a comedy, giving people despair and hope.

The film was nominated for Best Original Song at the 73rd Academy Awards. Again, it's neither a first-person perspective nor a documentary film. What are you shaking the camera for? ! Also find a Parkinson's patient to do photography. Shaking purely for the sake of shaking makes the audience spend too much energy capturing the picture rather than understanding the plot. The plot is also puzzling. Common sense blind people will have more sensitive and focused other senses, but the heroine can only imagine that this is dementia, not blindness.

Everything happened after killing Bill... I don't understand the necessity of a large song and dance scene, simplifying (or even completely deleting) the abrupt song and dance part has almost no impact on the film, and a few scenes are quite heavy and contradictory singing and dancing On the contrary, the drama dilutes the emotions that have been brewing from beginning to end. Although there can be various explanations to pull it out of the main plot, this approach is still puzzling. Of course, similar singing and dancing tragedies are not without precedent, beautiful and kind The drama where the protagonist is in deep trouble is not the only one. However, even if the classic Hollywood musical has created many difficulties for the protagonist, it is always a candy cannonball wrapped in a happy ending, and von Trier created this film. Obviously not here. Acting in musicals is the protagonist's hobby and spiritual sustenance. That's right. It's understandable to keep Bjork's normal singing and dancing parts intact. If we say that the singing and dancing in the factory can still be regarded as a magic pen to entertain oneself and others , then the singing and dancing in the court is really out of line with the style of the whole film, and because of this, it is incredible to see comments like "moving to the death".

Selma: You like the movies, don't you?
Bill Houston: I love the movies. I just love the musicals.
Selma: But isn't it annoying when they do the last song in the films?
Bill Houston: Why?
Selma: Because you just know when it goes really big... and the camera goes like out of the roof... and you just know it's going to end. I hate that. I would leave just after the next to last song... and the film would just go on forever.

Jeff: [referring to Gene] Why did you have him? You knew he would have the same disease as you.
Selma: I just wanted to hold a little baby.
