Well, today I’m going to talk about a film that I
like. That movie is not my favorite because I don’t have one favorite movie,
but this is the last I see and I liked so much.
This movie is “Melancholia” (2011). That movie is drama
with fiction, directed by Lars Von Trier and starring Kristen Dunst, Charlotte
Gainsbourg and Kiefer Sutherland.
Justine (Kristen Dunst) y Michael (Alexander
Skarsgard) give a sumptuous party to celebrate their wedding at the home of the
bride's sister (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and her husband John (Kiefer Sutherland),
while a planet, called Melancholia, threat the Earth. It’s a movie with
psychological and catastrophic elements.
The movie is divided in two parts. The first is called
“Justine” and is about the protagonist and her marriage. Justine is a person
really unpredictable and melancholic, she wasn’t motivated with her marriage
and she finish for destroyed it. Nothing works at the party that her sister, with
preoccupation and details everywhere (and a lots of money), prepared.
The second part is called “Claire” in reference to
Justine’s sister. Here, there’s a Justine depressive, she unable even to bathe
and eat herself; Claire help her. Meanwhile, Melancholia planet becomes visible
in the sky as it approaches ever closer to Earth. Apparently the shock of
planet Earth is imminent, and Claire becomes hysterical while Justine accepts the
end resignedly.
I liked so much the movie, because the performances
are very good and emotional. Besides, I think the plot is something that we identify
in this time: “a possible end of the world”. Other movies respect end of the
world have more action and there’s a hero; but in this movie, the end is something more especial and personal, respect every person, and that is make the protagonists think about yours relationship, limits, personalities and love.
