this movie... can't understand

Just watched it, the picture is good, the music is good, but I feel like there is nothing else left except these two.
I won't say anything about the wedding. I like this part. The heroine, Justin, began to be abnormal, showing all kinds of absent-mindedness, all kinds of depression, all kinds of strange behaviors.
Then she finished riding the horse, and the whole person seemed to be disabled. Although there are many physical problems caused by depression, I don’t know if it’s the source of the film I watched or it was just filmed like this. Suddenly, he said that this person can’t even hit the car, can’t take a shower, and can’t eat. tasteless.
I just wanted to rant about it being too sudden.
Then her former swift and capable older sister Claire became depressed and worried about the stars hitting the Earth.
I don't understand this kind of end-time fear. Everyone dies and no one escapes. How fair it is. Afraid of having an egg. And let yourself have a bad day at the end.
Claire's husband finally found out that the stars were still about to hit, but he told his wife and children that he couldn't hit, and he committed suicide because of the pressure. He died because of stress. Although Melancholia is said to have indirect effects.
In the second half of the movie, Justin is very calm, and he also reveals a sense of superiority. If it doesn't sound good, he is a middle schooler, and it's a blatant middle schooler, not a flattering kind. He may be sensitive to this kind of malice. People with melancholy temperament have long been used to living under the threat of death. They are not particularly afraid of death at all, but I still feel so sick. I don't think this movie makes it clear. It just gives the impression that this person is because of the stars. The change in temperament makes people look confused.
As a person who is slightly depressed in the second grade, committing the second grade is commonplace. I originally wanted to find some resonance in this film, but there was no resonance at all. I am deeply saddened.

    With overly hypocritical formalism, procrastinating and boring scripts, and Dunst’s overly indulgent face, the film is completely supported by photography and soundtrack. It’s boring. Larsvon is still playing with the things he played in the 1980s. "The Maker" is far from...

    Isn't it the end, what to be afraid of, enjoy the tranquility before the destruction.

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.
