[karitomermelada]

[henriette756]

And thé choice "Wagner" for this film is just right,perfect..

[henriette756]

@TheLeecom = .. Insane ? Probably.. But that s why thé film is a masterpiece ..

[mitzibishi]

she was too much of a bitch for me to feel sympathy for her kind of depression, i have bouts of depression but dont go around shitting on people, far from it, i always think its my fault or i will be at fault and bother other people.

[sethula1]

@mitzibishi i've known people that get like that when theyre depressed. and besides, it may also have to do with something other than her depression, you cant blame all her problems on that

[mitzibishi]

@sethula1 i felt no sympathy for you, she wore her depression and used it as a big fuck you to everyone, even though nobody was perfect in the movie. the look she gave her new husband at the party killed any sympathy i had, she looked at him with a defiant fuck you mate

[sethula1]

@mitzibishi if you actualy read my comment, i said it probably has something to do with other factors than just her depression. and even still, her behaviour pointed more to a some sort of psychosis rather than just being depressed. i'm not saying the role deserved an oscar, but the way the character was portrayed indicated a medical problem, not a behavioural one (and everyone i know who's seen the movie agrees with me on this)

[allison9090]

I watched this movie recently. I watched it alone. My husband walked into the room right after it ended and asked me "so how was the movie?" I looked at him and burst into tears. It's been a long time since I have been so affected by a film. It's weeks later and I find myself still thinking about it. And yes the ending is one of the most raw, intense thing I have ever seen.

[OhSeamus]

movie was depressing as hell. but the final scene blew my mind.

[Heinikind]

Just listening to the "Soundtrack" makes me feel...uncomfortable

[TheKarnagg]

This guy knows how to make art

[pellebravesskylar]

@squigoo - this is a piece of music written by Richard Wagner in the 19th Century for an opera, "Tristan und Isolde," based largely on the romance by Gottfried Von Straburg. This particular piece is from the prelude.

[whenhecallsmekitten]

Lars Von Trier definitely changed my life last night.

[squigoo]

Was this song written for the movie, or did it exist previously?

[speakerforthe]

@squigoo dude... it's "Wagner". he died in 1883.

[gcrotik]

@squigoo yes, Wagner also composed a lot of things for movies, like "Highlander" or "Back to future" or his best "Apocalipsis now", Coppola wrote in a book years later "When i met Richard Wagner its was a little scary, he seems like 200 years old" and also this was the idea for "Interview with the vampire"

This is from wikipedia :)

[Branstock]

@gcrotik and Dracula, and Gladiator, and mostly every movie aside with Holst...

[sethula1]

@gcrotik surprised nobody's responded to this yet

I call bullshit on this!

[slade1966]

only sate music may be better

[slade1966]

some may find it long and pretentous but those people only like quick hit blockbusters like spiderman or ironman

[TheLeecom]

Lars von Trier seems to be insane - but his films are masterpieces :D

[OoSpotoO]

This movie is absolutely stunning.... I have never felt so blown away and shocked by anything before.... I felt like I'd gone to the end of the world and back and it was weird coming back down to reality again after the credits...

[cocas60]

final scene is perfect...KABOOM!

[zetterich81]

@cocas60

Not only the final scene. The whole film is amazing. I watched it three times in cinemai in a week.

[doifal]

100 prozent emotion

[georgiabluelost]

That planet flew right Through me...! It took me a while to recover mentally after the final credits. I Walked out in a zombie-like state, my mind blown away by what i just watched. I had to take a long walk by the river to keep the feeling and the images going for a while longer. I Wasn't ready to return to the 'real world' just yet :p

[TheSascha1musik]

I like the movie.

[LeroyBinson2]

There isn't a better choice of soundtrack for this film. This music just fits it so perfectly.

[veronicaahonen]

i watched this alone in the movie theater in the beginning of the summer. i sat in directly in the middle, the highest row of the cinema, the speakers booming on both sides of me. you can surely guess how I felt when the final sequence hit me. i was like THIS MOVIE'S LEAPING OUT OF THE GODDAMN SCREEN!

[dunkjs]

C'est tres jolie musique dramatique. Je voudrais assez jolies musiques dramatiques. Je respect Richart Wagner. Sieg, Heil.!

[kammler95]

this movie was beyond amazing.

[noorawa]

this film likes nibiru coming to earth

[ilikeyorkshirepuddin]

Such an amazing film. Had to go to London to see it but it was well worth it!

[JohnTripinTokyo]

I've seen the film. You'll be blown away by the final sequence. Along with Wagner's masterpiece, it just hits you emotionally.

[vedraville]

@JohnTripinTokyo I agree with you soo much!I was just speechless in the end.

[earthboundiam]

Hallowed be Trier's name!

[MrJlal16ley]

Le son est très mauvais, quel dommage, car la musique est de RW est si magnifique !

[MrJlal16ley]

Le son est reès mauvais, quel dommage, car cest si magnifique !

[whatuswattingat]

I've loved this piece ever since I was a kid. Absolutely beautiful. From what I've seen of the trailer, it fits in perfectly.

[kadununes]

@elevencyan @prinstan no, it isnt.

[KTBEverlasting]

Such a compelling piece of music. I want to see the movie so bad.

[PrinsTan]

@KTBEverlasting If you do, don't blink an instant during the ending

[elevencyan]

@PrinsTan Is it even possible to blink ?
