I was never so happy to see someone get hanged as in this film. I detest her voice and cannot understand why anyone enjoys that depressing caterwaul she does.
@davidgrahamscott Get yourself to her level and maybe that kind of statement will have some credibility. Other than that, try to stay away from videos of artists that you hate. You stupid fucking troll. Didn't your mother raise you better than that?
@krazycookie317 Get myself down to her level? Nope...I'm quite happy being what I am. And I don't remember saying anything objectionable to you so why the anger? I am not prejudiced against transexuals either so have nothing against you.
@davidgrahamscott In terms of her voice which seems to be your biggest opinion, sorry but until you get recognition and that much respect like she and her voice have gotten then maybe you need to reevaluate what level you're on because it is DEFINITELY not above hers. I'm angry because I am sick of you people that think its okay to come and bash an artist. If you don't like them, stay away its simple. I also don't give a flying fuck who you're prejudice towards.
@krazycookie317 I said I am not prejudiced against transexuals so I have nothing against you and refuse to argue with you. As you would probably put it, 'capiche'?
i love bjork and this scene was so tormenting to watch...specially if you already knew what was gonna happen like i did....and i totally appreciate her art value....i love her to pieces and i love gaga!
Thumbs up if you watched the movie and thought, "Thank god that happened!" Because if it dident it would just be torture to your mind, and make you cry out your heart. :/
Art value of only her counting of numbers has like a billion times more than that retards songs, like lady gagas, britney spears, tokiohotels ones or whatever..
yeah, it's a great song. I heard the album before I saw the movie and didn't realize the significance of the lyrics. Once I saw the movie I liked the song even more.
I suppose Selmasongs is actually my favorite Bjork album.
My best friend told me not to watch this movie, but since I adore Bjork, and loved the soundtrack, I didn't listen to him. It literally ripped my heart out, and showed it to me. I haven't watched it since. It's not suprising Bjork spent sometime in a mental hospital after filming this. She can't act, she can only become. Who knows the demons she found and had to wrestle with. I'm still haunted by this movie, and always will be.
It's about an east-european woman who comes to america. She and her son are sick and are losing there sight. So while she's getting blind she works hard in a factory so her son can get an operation and keep his sights.
yo creo que la complementa la musica ya que la base solida de la HISTORIA, es lo que se ve, y lo que quieren que sientas, o sea, la expresion, la complementa la musica, sin embargo, no dije que la musica fuese menor que lo demas, no de hecho creo que son como dos partes del rompecabezas :)
weird thing about this film, is that i find myself watching the music scenes, and all the scenes that are happy, but i can never bring my self to watch the whole thing through ever again
We drove to a theatre 30 minutes away to watch this. This was the saddest movie WE HAVE EVER SEEN. IT RIPS YOUR HEART OUT. It helps if you love Bjork. Everyone stayed in their seats for the credits...not to watch the credits...just to compose themselves. You were either crying or sobbing. My wife was sobbing. I was crying. This is Europe getting pissed off at the death penalty. I am from Texas...kill killers but leave Bjork out of it...kill killers...whip them with canes...then kill.
I live in Texas and I agree. She had a motive though, it was all for her son, but she still couldn't do anything about it due to lack of money.. or rather, she DID have money.. it was just for her sons operation, and she couldn't risk her son being blind so she wouldn't be hung. I think I may have very well done the same thing if I were in Selmas shoes
I saw the movie once. The experience was so intense that I can't see it again. It is overwhelming. If you haven't seen Dancer in the Dark, prepare yourself and watch it. It might not change your life, but you will be touched for your whole life.
In a way, I LIKE knowing I'm one of the few that UNDERSTAND and LOVE the oddness of Bjork, her PURE GENIUS, and the magnificence of this movie and soundtrack.
Poignant, DISTURBING, angst-ridden and beautiful all at once...
Someday. Someday, this exquisite work of ART and sound will be given its due, much the same way it took a century or so for the masses to finally embrace Mozart... Van Gogh...
This part always sent a chill down my spine. Especially the part where it shows clips of the stairs... like she's looking back... and knowing this is where it all ends.
we personally think this movie is an excellent comedy....with the choir is quiet and going from 100 to 23 it just puts a smile on our face when she hangs
The saddest thing about it is things like that happen as we speak and people are too dumb to realize that we have no free will, that there is no good and evil...so they feel justified about doing what they do. They don't even question it. 60% of Americans support the death penalty.
This movie actually changed my life. I didn't sleep for a few days and now when I watch scenes from it I still get choked up. This scene is one where you want to press pause and believe that you stopped the hanging.
ahhh yuck no... (your sarcasim noted) but really i felt that a random savage execution didnt work at all. it doesnt challenge because its out of place and unbelievable. however your right we must be challenged
I bought the Sountrack to Dancer in the Dark WAY before I seen the film and in doing so (having the great imagination that I do) I was a little disappointed, but I still bought the DVD!
