Danish talented director Russ von Trier,
You haven't heard his name, but you must have heard of his work:
For example, "This house is made by me" and "Dog Town".
Extreme, taboo, his style is always shocking,
The psychological state of the character is taken to the extreme under his lens.
In particular, handheld photography and long shots are used to capture the madness of the actors when their emotions erupt.
Of course, no matter how shocking it is, it is not as intuitive as the movie itself.
And today I'm going to talk about this movie,
It is the first return to the work of The Craziest Director in Europe after being released from cannes,
Enough to stimulate the senses!
Come, let's take a look at —"
Breaking Waves
Heroine Beth, a woman who lives on an isolated island,
Her temperament is slightly neurotic, naïve and messy.
When she reached the age of marriage, she ignored the shackles of religion and married Yarn, an oil worker from abroad.
From the wedding to the life after the marriage, the two people are so affectionate that they are outrageous.
Unfortunately, this period of time is not long.
Her husband had to go to sea to work, and with the dependence on the relationship, she became overwhelmed.
While the husband was working at sea, he was seriously injured and paralyzed.
The husband she had been expecting was no longer the man who could give her happiness.
When her husband was conscious, he actually made a request to Beth -
Hook up with other men and come back and describe the whole process to him.
Beth did so, believing that this was the only way to awaken her husband's vitality.
She first went to a doctor who treated her husband.
Bring a bottle of wine and break into the solitary room,
But no matter what she did, the doctor wouldn't buy it.
How do you make friends with your husband? She made it up.
After trembling and finishing the story, the husband actually believed it.
The second time, she followed her husband's request and went to the bus to look for a man.
The people in the car, apart from the women, seemed to have only one old man.
She sat down next to the old man, and when she had achieved her goal, she quickly got out of the car.
Beth was directly nauseated to the point of vomiting.
She told her husband the story of the man on the bus,
The husband seemed satisfied.
It didn't take long for my husband's condition to improve.
Although Beth, who was lying next to the strange man, was in tears and sobbing,
But Yann's brief upturn strengthened Beth's determination to continue so.
However, the people of the village cast a scornful look at Beth.
In Beth's sister-in-law's eyes, in the doctor's eyes, this is simply "abnormal".
Those closest to her called her stupid and persuaded her to leave her husband,
And the belief of sacrificing for love burned strongly in Beth's heart,
Eventually pushed her into a desperate situation...
Her husband's condition was unstable, up and down, and it also made her abnormally broken.
The doctor advises Yann to sign a consent form to send Beth to a mental hospital.
Yarn realized his mistake and wanted Beth to stop, finally signing the paper.
Unaware of this, Bay continued to hunt for "prey" outside.
This time there was an accident and she almost lost her life because of the gun.
Fortunately, she escaped in time, but when she reached the door of her husband's ward, she was taken away by the police.
Beth, who knew the truth, broke down again.
She escaped on the road and met her sister-in-law,
Only let the sister-in-law carry a word for Ya'en: I wish a speedy recovery.
She got on a boat and wanted to get out of this place,
But the accident happened again —
She was injured all over her body, and soon after she was sent to the hospital, the rescue was ineffective.
Until the throat breathed, he could not wait for the appearance of his husband.
Yann was able to walk shortly after Beth's death!
When the priests face the newly opened cemetery,
When I thought I was going to send the sinful Beth to hell,
Unbeknownst to him, the coffin was swapped and Yarn was buried on board for Beth.
The next day, everyone heard the death knell from heaven on the boat.
The voice was out of the confines of the church and was ringing for Beth...
According to the director —
Beth was actually a little girl in the fairy tales he had seen as a child.
She is kind and pure,
One day she carried a loaf of bread and crossed the great forest alone,
But when she walked out, everything on her body was gone.
Still, she said: I can handle it.
Beth is like that,
Even in the face of great difficulties, she is always optimistic.
She struggles against fate and wants to change everything until she returns to the pure sea.
The director said that it was a fairy tale;
If you believe it, it's also true.
