Melancholia Movie Story Line:-Two sisters try to cling on to their relationship more than ever before, in the wake of an imminent catastrophe befalling planet Earth. Some sort of inexplicable gap is creeping in between the siblings, Justine and Claire. Watch Melancholia online to behold the fate of these two girls who are not able to patch up their relationship that seems to have gone awry with time. Meanwhile, Justine marries Michael; instead of enjoying the marital bliss, Justine’s mind is inflicted with a kind of moroseness that seems to prick her constantly. The film showcases the human mind in a state of helter-skelter, looking for a way out, to remove all ego-hassles and reach out to near and dear ones in the wake of a disaster that could destroy the planet at any moment. Is Justine able to find solution to get rid of her melancholic state of mind? On the other hand, Claire is more insecure than ever before, as death lurking somewhere near causes her to feel the pangs of anxiety. Perhaps, it’s the trick devised by nature that aims to bring the two sisters close together, a machination to overcome stumbling blocks of one’s mind.
Melancholia Movie Review:-The movie shines visually at certain points. To be specific it shines first five minutes and then the last say 20 seconds.
The rest of the movie is just cruel, sadistic and never ending torture by boredom. First and foremost, the lead character is not "melancholic". She is seriously depressed, I mean chemotherapy to electro-convulsive therapy class depressed. It is seriously not fun to watch her being depressed. It made me feel very depressed as well and this was just the beginning.
The family seems to be broken, but in a very boring way. Nothing much happens here except for people running away (I wish I did the same thing after opening scene, but I was hoping for at least some pretty pictures later on). Then nothing happens, then nothing happens, then nothing happens, then the sister suddenly understands the World is going to end, so she freaks a little, runs around a little, then all three remaining heroes decide to sit at their asses and to wait for collision.
Yes, there are some pretty pictures of the castle where the boring people live, but seriously I would rather watch another Miss Marple murder case. These movies are silly but at least something happens! Seriously I never expected to see another Armageddon or something like that but this bottle is completely empty. There are not even questions, it just frustrating wait for the end of the World so the movie may end as well.
I'm so so disappointed. If you were attracted by the trailer, you may go home now. There is nothing more interesting to see here. The trailer is misleading, it is pretty poster consisting of all the action in the movie. The rest is just cold, empty, freezing hell of boredom disguised as a art. Even the worst Lynch movies are at least an order of magnitude better than this!
