Okay, I havent cried about a movie since 'The Rats of Nimh' and this did it! Okay, its a great fucking movie, and my wedding date with Bjork IS approaching, but that damned movie made me want to go and die!!!DIE!!
I LOVED IT!!
that is by far the sadest ending I have EVER seen!!
@ questions spring from my rambling, fellow IDM monks.
1- Have you seen it, and did it destroy your will to live!?!?!
2- Any other movies that have hit you the same way? The only other movies with Dancers capabilities are 'End of Evangelion' and maybe Sailor moon r. (so shoot me)

I like kung Fu films too, and Samurai films.
But everyone needs to see DITD.

amazing film! Von Trier's other movie Dogville is depressing too, but still very good.
Requim for a Dream is another extremely depressing film but the film where i cried the most is my favourite film of all time, Takeshi Kitano's 'Hana Bi', everyone should watch that film!

Yeah it's hardcore emotinal film DITD like, phenomenal movie, love it. Bjork is just amazing in it. I was told that she actually disappeared for 6 months half way through the making of it.. I hope to god she plays at the glade festival or I'll cry.

What's amazing about Dancer in the Dark is that the script is so over the top. I mean how much bad luck can one person have? She's blind, she's poor, her kid needs an expensive operation, her neighbour steals her money, and then he makes her kill him, she gets sentenced to death. And yet when you watch the movie... it doesn't seem to matter at all. Great film, I loved it. The endig was really sad yes... and shocking too. The way she is singing that happy song with a broken voice. And then when the hatch opens everything suddenly falls silent... very painful moment.

I agree. The story keeps pouring the tears of little kittens into the viewer's sadness bucket - pouring and pouring what should be a ridiculous amount of the stuff, so that normally you'd expect it to overflow into the adjacent "funny" and "annoying" buckets, but somehow it doesn't. It works. Very much worth watching.
I haven't gotten around to seeing Dogville yet.

Yes! I must have seen Hana-bi about 20 times now - And every time it has the same effect.
There aren't words to describe the emotions.

How is it underrated?? It won the Palm d' Ores at Cannes and one of the songs from the soundtrack was nominated for an Oscar.
I didn't cry at Ghost, it was a bit of popcorn that got into my eye.

Yeah Dancer in the dark is a good movie for sure. I wish he would stop shooting his movies in sweden tho when the stories is suposed to take place in the US. Kinda ruins it for me to see familiar enviroments /nature.

dancer in the dark is a beautiful movie. beautiful in a very painful way. the script is amazing, the actors play very well their parts (bjork was a wonderful surprise in this respect, though having in mind what a talented musician she is i had to be prepared), and another thing that really appealed to me was the way different scenes were shot. real life vs. imgainary musical. shaking, uncertain, blurred camera and dull colors for the first, fixed picture and very sharp and contrast colors for the latter. definitely a masterpiece.

i watched part of it.... i left before the end.
didn't want to see this ending, already before the end it was depressing... i never liked sad endings, sometimes it makes me really angry at the author for being so cruel with the characters...
(last time i said this, that i didn't like sadness and avoided sad stories, people started shouting at me, almost insulting me, for the sake of art and all and i left the board for a few days - i surely can understand this reaction too...)
(thanks for the warning about End Of Evangelion)

btw, i'd recommend you guys a movie called "irreversible". it's french - i kinda developed an affinity to european cinema. the scenes are presented in reverse order so it takes some time to get into it. there are very contradictory oppinions on it but most good movies get such. it's really sad especially it's "happy ending" (which is in fact the story's beginning).

just because it wasn't underrated at cannes doesn't mean it wasn't underrated elsewhere. but maybe underrated isn't the right word. underappreciated, perhaps, and not very well known in the mainstream.
