@CanardDeChien I agree to a certain extent., but you have to agree everything has been done before. I love Kubric, and I think he was an amazing director. Im not Lars von Triers biggest fan, but in his defence, the film is actually really good. Its not re3ally a rip off, but more of a homage to Kubrick. i think youl agree that lars will never be as good as Kubrick.
@CanardDeChien I think it's more "reminiscing" of Kubrick. Yes, they share similar qualities, but Melancholia projects something completely different with its shots. I wouldn't exactly call it a "rip-off."
I had no idea what to make of the sequence when I first saw it, but after finishing the film, I realized that it vaguely summarized everything about the film, both internally and in story. How excellently crafted.
The best of the film - the brief opening act: a weird, hallucinatory montage of moonlit or Melancholia-lit images, which are an exposition of themes and distorted premonition of narrative.
there's a mawkish fascination and some flashes of real visual brilliance, especially in the mysterious series of dream-tableaux that begin the film.

Dunst's character is a whore, boring wedding footage for two hours, two world's collide. Worst movie of 2011.

This film is crap, just like all his movies. He should be cleaning the streets, then he would be doing actual useful work.

@cguitar100 Watch Den Brysomme Mannen (2006), if you haven't already. Now that, is a true movie, a dystopian/surreal masterpiece.

Pretty much a total rip off of Kubrick

@CanardDeChien "Pretty much a total rip off of Kubrick"
Oh! You mean inspired by (which is rarely EVER done in artistic expression, right?)
Ever heard of the term 'homage'?
You could say the beginning sequence of 'Antichrist' was a ripoff, as well. Von Trier used the same technique before this film.
Or was this an attempt to boast your knowledge of cinema. My bad.
