Dancer in the Dark - Death Sentence

The story concerns Selma (Björk), a Czech immigrant living in 1964 Washington State with her 12-year-old son, Gene (Vladan Kostic). On the verge of blindness, Selma spends her days working in a factory, as well as performing other odd jobs, in order to save up enough money to pay for an operation that will cure Gene of the same disease. To pass the time, Selma fantasizes that her own life is a musical, one in which her friends join her in sweeping song-and-dance routines. After her neighbor Bill (David Morse) discovers Selmas hidden savings and steals them from her, she is forced to perform an act of salvation that will condemn her forever.

This video- with the blaring title "DEATH SENTENCE" was the third in the suggestions for the TRAILER of Dancer In The Dark. Way to ruin the movie... -_-

I'm Greek, do you really think that I don't know the genocides in Europe and Ottoman Empire? 1 million greek people were killed and 3-4 million people were violently forced to leave their homes, after they were raped or hit, but the biggest genocide in history is the one of American Indians and Hispanic people, 20-30 millions of people.

I consider the US uncivilised, just like any other place on Earth where they haven't abolished the death penalty, an antidemocratis habit

How cruel people can be.

@greendayfecer I actually bought the DVD since my last comment and I've watched it. I agree - it's definitely worth watching and I thought it was absolutely brilliant. I was an emotional wreck from start to finish but it really is one of the most absorbing films I've ever seen.

@SongBillong It is but it's worth watching.

This ending made my cry my eyes out. This is the one movie where a character died has hit me so hard Bjork did such an outstanding job in this movie.

If I was warden, I`m just hanging it because there`s other prisoner waiting for next hanging and I`m sure the witness don`t like stay very long just just to see they crying before death.. They just want to see life person turns to dead person so they can record the evidence and send report to ministry,take drive, go home take a bath and dinner with family and kids..

But she didn't get to finish the next to last song...

@Kitten51181 European Americans!

@MrBill19641 Does the 130 thousand(the lowest credible estimate) that U.S. and coalition forces killed in Iraq and Afganistan fall under the lesson that killing innocent people for fun is wrong?

@diggyu You know, I thought Belarus was the only European country to execute convicts; who knew that it was still alive and well in the European country of WASHINGTON STATE.
