From acclaimed director #LarsVonTrier comes the most stunning and compelling film of the year. Winner of the European Film Award for Best Film and the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress (#KirstenDunst), #Melancholia is a beautiful film about the end of the world.
Justine (Kirsten Dunst, SPIDER-MAN) and Michael (TRUE BLOOD's Alexander Skarsgard) are celebrating their marriage at a sumptuous party in the home of her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg, ANTICHRIST), and brother-in-law John (Kiefer Sutherland, 24). Despite Claire's best efforts, the wedding is a fiasco, with family tensions mounting and relationships fraying. And as Claire tries to maintain the party's celebratory spirit, Justine struggles against her own dark demons. Meanwhile, a planet called Melancholia is heading directly towards Earth...

I love films that can describe what it feels to have depression. Even major depresssion. Or dysthymia . Or whatever the hell anyone wants to call it. Its chronic. Its potent. Thank you filmmaker.

[@briancrawford8751]

As long as it's depression and not bipolar disorder, they just throw SSRI's at it, so what difference does it make what it is? I've figured out a rule of psychiatry. The disease is being adequately treated when the patient stops complaining.

[@Demortixx]

How?

[@ruipereira7096]

@@Demortixx When I say creeps Its not like its scary, Sometimes, for example, music can give me creeps too, if it carries particularly intense emotions, such as despair or euphoria, intense sadness or happiness for example. This doesnt happen often though. Like anyone else(I suppose), within art forms, I deeply relate only to a certain few ideias, emotions, feelings, when expressed in a particular way. Not by choice, its just a body reflex of some sort. Hope that makes some sense!

[@jaysonkav6269]

@@ruipereira7096 i could understand U, the creeps don't only mean the intensity of scary or horrible feelings but also mean the intensity of rapture or excited feelings sometimes (so not everything is based on dictionaries). And intensity has various kinds of forms, life needs intensity no matter it's negative or positive, and we can choose the form of its according to our preferences.

[@redfulla1494]

remembering when I was a kid, the thought of space and meteors colliding with the earth, and black holes; terrified me. In school watching sped up solarsystems spinning around in an absurdly unlikely planetary synchronicity, was nail biting... watching this as an adult, finishing up the movie with a sense of... detachment from such an impossible "science fiction" event. Only to be reminded later, of those childhood anxieties. That, this is/ was a true story of the human experience in the event of a planetary collision, which has never been an zero chance. If not by this modus, if by another, the earth will cease to exist. This will be some poor souls experience if life continues for long enough. life as we know it will come to a close, and there will be no "life out there" to mourn the loss of our history or futures, gone in a blink of an eye. No one to feel sympathy or grieve our annihilation. just apathetic silence oblivious to the trivialities of our sphere of existence. There is a lot to take away from this movie, and many angles to look at, and a myriad of readings to take. But, if you take only the purely symbolic and existential carpe diem, I can't help but feel the gravitas of the statement "enjoy it while it lasts", is lost. because something of this magnitude will come to pass.

[@itsmybuddha.nature]

Nicely written thoughts.🥀 It does make one think what is it all for. What purpose to be born, suffer, only to die.

[@redfulla1494]

@@itsmybuddha.nature I was prompted to look it up. I thought, it was odd that we didn't know when it would happen, since we can accurately simulate predictions for planetary movement into the distant future now. So perhaps it is sooner than we think. and yes, it is predicted that there is a slight chance earth will collide with Venus or Mars in 3-4 billion years. If earth is indeed 4.5 billion years old, if that does come to pass, sadly half earths life is already spent. we are the half way point of earths existence. Everything will be gone in less than the time it took to be where we are today.

. Toska (Russian) Russian word roughly translated as “sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.” According to Vladimir Nabokov: “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause.”

This is your typical Von Trier film. If you enjoy his other movies, you will enjoy this. If you don't know who he is, he's pretty awesome but not for everyone. Movie is a slow build up and is well over 2 hours long. I enjoyed it, but don't go into it expecting any Michael Bay shenanigans.

[@danieljohnson4746]

Whatever happens, I Know I don’t know you, but I hope everything works out as well as possible. I struggle with depression and periods of pure guilt, feeling like there’s no logical or possible future day where I’ll be happy the way I wish I could be - and somehow it happens. It doesn’t make sense sometimes, but life just has this way of giving you a new chapter, and it can be so random but it can make everything feel so much better. It might be easier to get there if you talk to someone, anyone you think could be good to talk to. Therapy has been really good for me, and talking to well-intentioned friends and family helped too. Even a random everyday conversation with someone might feel like a nice event. I don’t know I’m no expert, just guesses. But I really hope you feel better :)

So on 10 April 2024, someone from the ceremony mentioned about this Meteorite that will pass in 2029, and it will pass under the Earth's highest satellites. But - Dont look up ! So today, I decided to look up anything online about this comet. Click , leading to click, leading to this film Melancholia being mentioned. SO: What is the film about you might ask. Well, I have to spoil the fun for you if you continue to read, because It turns out there are 2 Films being shown here together. ! Im not kidding. The film starts off, by telling as information embedded into images. So we are shown a series of bizarre, but then somehow familiar at DNA level too, on a consequential feeling, which turns out to be the sum result of not many, but Infinite feelings. The ALL is the ONE, the ONE is the ALL. So the the Films are told in reverse order related to each other / from a linear time perspective, within each of these two film perspectives. Imagine the 1st Film is told in reverse and the 2nd Film unfolds in linear forward motioned time. So both films tells a perspective of the film's topic, albeit polar opposites of each other, but yet the same topic, Human experience. This unique combination, presents to the viewer Duality in an extremely genius format, from within a unity-consciousness perspective. As the second film, develops during the four, sub-films as they stretch our ability to read energy presented, rather than the mere depiction of images on film. The task to follow what is being presented becomes a task. This is the best gift of this film, it bestows upon you the gifts you are resonating with currently. It mirrors our frequency back at us, so we innerstand from this point forward, depending on our authentic Self's resonance. I am the messenger of these truths, as they are my Truths, for We are ONE. But Wow, to think they released this film back in 2011 about the events that will unfold for us all in 2029. PSSS; This is a True spoiler alert about this Realm. Please do not continue to read, if you dont wont me to spoil the entire point of life. The end of the film, is a test to see if you innerstood the film or not. That's all I can say.

[@marccano5061]

I saw this movie when it first came out. It was so intense, and I couldn't put a finger on it the whole way through until the end of all we know as humans. I left the theater depressed. As a white male in puritan America I didn't know how to express the angst , emotions, nor the words to my date of how I felt afterwards. It left unsettled for a couple of days. To this day I think of this movie.

[@shawnalLovesJesus]

Things are going to get bad. If you don't believe in Jesus, now is a VERY good time. I hope this blesses you and brings a smile and hope to you. ♥ On Aug 27 at about 313 AM, in my somewhat sleep, I heard - He’s bringing the rapture at the speed of light. From nineplanets I read a bit on the speed of light. Saw this: We know that nothing can surpass the speed of light, at least in theory. If you’d have the power to move with the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Oct 26, 2020, I heard - Biden Harris July 31,2021 I heard - Stay in the Word. Aug 1, 2021, I heard - Do not fear what is coming. Aug 9, 2021 - Surge. Isolate. In 2019, I heard - famine and plague. Jan 26, 2021. Heard - War is coming Shawna. Better prepare. Prophesy. April 9, 2021, before going to bed, my vision went black for a quick moment, and then I saw in gold letters: Thus saith the Lord. About four hours later, April 10, during my sleep I heard: Prophet. Tell them I am coming soon. Maybe 3-5 min after that, at 1235 AM, our area had a small earthquake registering 3.1. In April 2019, I heard - Tell them I am coming soon. Later in the day I heard: There will be a great shaking. When I didn't tell a particular church about it, I got a dream where I was scared. I could hear myself saying: I'll tell them, I'll tell them, I'll tell them. Then I saw a person in the dark with well lit windows behind him and another person dressed in white walking behind him and up some stairs. Dec 20, 2021. I had a dream of an eagle on a power line. I was standing below and looking up at the eagle as it sat there, calmly, looking around. Then it started to morph into a dragon. Then I was above that dragon looking down at it with its wings spread open. I could see the black veins in the right wing. I was in QFC one day and a song caught my attention. I believe the Lord wanted me to hear it. It's called - Get Closer by Seals and Crofts. (also look at lyrics). Supporting scripture - James 4 vs 8 and Zechariah 1 vs 3. Admit you are a sinner (we all are), believe in Jesus and that He died for you (well worth it), call out to Him to save you.
