Melancholia
This movie starts out as an 8 minute long art film as it shows the last moments of the end of the world while listening to classical orchestra music. This was very interesting as a lot of the things you see in this section coincide with real theories that people have. Such as the electricity coming off of Justine's (Kirsten Dunsts) fingers and off of the the power lines. There is a theory that when two planets are close to each other it is possible that the two planets could become linked by a constant stream of static electricity.
The movie then proceeds to tell the story of the two sisters, it is in two parts. Justines part and Claires part. Justine is to get married while Claire plans it. Justine doesn't seem too happy with being married and seems to be becoming more and more like her heartless bitch of a mother. This is when Justine first starts to notice a new star in the sky and things are starting to get odd.
The second half is Claires story and tells how Claire took Justine in after her life has seemed to have gone to shit and Justine has taken on her mothers attitude.
The second half takes place some time after the first half and everyone knows about the approaching planet known as Melancholia that has been hiding behind the sun until now.
Most people are excited about the fly by of the planet. They think it is going to miss Earth and that they are going to see the beatufiul sight of seeing another planet up close. However that is not the case...
This movie is beautiful from the scenery, to the music, to the acting and the story. A lot of people may find this movie to be fairly slow but it is an awesome 2 hour long story about the end of the world, AND you get to see Kirsten Dunst naked! lol
Anyway there are a few bad points to the movie, such as the fact that it is 2 hours long. It also has parts that are completely pointless and irrelevant, mainly because it has too much character development. Although the movie is a bit excessive and pointless at times it is still a pretty good movie. (PS...the scary thing is this is a real theory of how the world could end, except the planet is known as Nibiru and not Melancholia.)
Score 7/10
