| Just watched Melancholia and the ending was awesome but i don't see the point in the first hour of the film (Part 1). All seemed irrelevant to the final plot. Maybe i missed something? |

The whole wedding and the dysfunctional family is a microcosm to our society. It crumbles, its relationships aren't healthy, therefore "people don't deserve to live" (according to Lars). I think it is essential to show this since the Apocalypse then makes much more sense as a punishment (aka we had it coming).
Also, I'm drunk so don't listen to me.- |

good to see a TA Aussie viewing this film. what are your thoughts? do you remember the incidents in the early to mid 90s? |
I remember when the police discovered the bodies in the bank vault. There was a media storm about it known as "the bodies in the barrels murder'. I don't ever recall seeing the court trial, probably due to being suppressed i imagine.
As for the movie, that was ed up, I had a hard time trying to work out who he was killing. The kangaroo scene made me cringe as well as the rape scene. |

C'mon, Hal, don't be such an ole grump and embrace good postmodern fun. This snobbery doesn't suit you at all. |

Just saw The Mill And The Cross and I must comment - it was so good! I finished it 3 hours ago and it's all I can think about. Afterward finishing the movie, I made dinner and opened a bottle of wine (which I've dug ever so deeply into). I suppose it helps that I'm a lover of all things Bruegel oriented, and saw the piece in question while I was in Veinna this past summer. The cinematography was so fresh and new. Everything was so damn visceral. The dialogue, while minimal, still managed to resonate with meaning and, hefty as it was, sunk itself into me.
I thought Rutger Hauer was awesome. Checked on imdb and he did 11 movies in 2011! I'm familiar with only a handful of them, but it seems like there's so much quality about him. (I know you loved him in Hobo.. witty. :p)
I loved the various references to his other paintings done by Bruegel as well. |

he's part of the reason why i put 'hobo with a shotgun' in my top 10 list. my other reason is the movie as being a b-movie blood film that pays homage to the 70s action thriller film genre was so great. the soundtrack to the film was awesome too. |
