/u/AmbassadorPuppy you're recommendation of Dancer in the Dark made me cry. Really I'm not joking. I wanted to bawl my fucking eyes out but couldn't do it as my family might worried about me, but 3 individual tears did leave my right eyes when my eyes for teared up during the last 40-50 mins of the movie.

Goddamnit. This movie broke my heart. It really did.

I shed a single tear for these movies in the past

Mystic Rivier Dead Man Walking I am Sam 12 Years a Slave

But for Dancer in the Dark made me shed 3 tears. It broke my heart way more than those movies did.

Dancer in the Dark is devastatingly beautiful

P.S: I watched Melancholia too but before Dancer in the Dark. Ummm I going to be honest, i didn't like Melancholia. I know the direction, acting, lighting every other technical detail about the movie was beautiful [even if I am not able to point it out due to lack of knowledge about it. I assume it was good.] but I didn't connect with the story. I felt left out. For me the way that the story played out ruined it. A lot of other people my enjoy it but I will never understand why. I know why people enjoyed Pulp Fiction and I felt unfortunate that I wasn't able to enjoy it even though I like Tarantino's style but Melancholia is different. I don't know what Lars von Trier was doing.
