in case you didn't know this is my second time watching. Also the lead character of this movie is "Bjork". i truly do love this movie. all three us(my cousins,my mother and myself) like the movie very much. i always get rather teary-eyed at the end( sorry if it might sound silly) who else saw this movie?

When did this movie come out?

good movie, i recommend you see it.

sarcasm or reality?

This is still the only film, i know, that made me cry. At the end, but also when she is in jail and het friend is telling her they can use the money for a lawyer.

Some critics say it's a anti-america movie. I don't see that. She moved to the US for the operation.

No, really. I cried. In fact, the whole theatre left with their eyes red

I don't dare to see it, I cried 4 times during Spiderman 3

This movie has made me sob more than any other.

Everytime your kids wanted to go pee.
I cry then too Never buy them drinks

I didn't take the kids - that is really not a movie for kids under 10. Just me and the master went. I cried each time the guy pulled out the photo of his sick daughter terminally ill children always get to me, I wonder why?

I think it was too manipulative to be touching. Von Trier is one of the best directors in the world but this time he really tried to squeeze out audience tears just for the sake of it. Danish press dubbed it "emotion porn".

This flick is next on my NetFlix queue. I've wanted to see it for a long time, but I knew how sad it would be so I put it off. But another orger recently turned me on to Bjork, so I thought it was time I watched. The preview alone makes me sad.

after the first time i saw it in the theater, i had to walk around the block twice before i could stop weeping - the second time i saw it, i took a friend and she threw up halfway through. it's not something you'd rent for a kid's birthday party, let's just put it that way.

well, maybe MY kid, but little lydia diamanda anxeena has unique tastes for a toddler.

bjork just about killed me at the end...actually i was already emotionally stomped when they took her money- just too too much for my scorpion heart

I am NEVER watching this movie...ever




thanx alot guys

it was excriciating to watch especially when she shot the sheriff. it was a kinda dumb scene. all that crying

SHE'S NOT THAT KIND OF MUM!!!

One of my favorite movies.

During my "Bjork 101" education this week, I listened to "I've Seen It All" and knowing the basic premise of the movie, the song really got me. So, I Netflixed it immediately. Well, after "Pan's Labyrinth" which I'm watching tonight.
"I've Seen It All" is a great, haunting song.

pan's labyrinth AND dancer in the dark?!?

it's been nice knowing you.

It's amazing...

Anxiety said:

Right, that is NOT a good combo!

I honestly don't remember how I felt when I first saw it--other than I never want to see it again.

Is "Pan's" a tear-jerker? I didn't know that. What did you guys think of it?

Xagain said:

Best movie of 2006.

I loved that movie, and also remember leaving the theater and thinking that I never, ever wanted to see it again.

But now I want to show it to Mary, so it's in my Netflix queue.

I like it just because Courtney Cox (her very first on-camera appearance ever, I believe) & "The Boss" are doing that very typical "white" people dance.

It was all I could do not to sob out loud when I saw it in the theatre. I rented it few years later and really let loose, crying at home alone.

CarrieMpls said:

I had a meltdown too...but, I watched it at home, so I was covered. I could NEVER see that movie in a theater...they'd have to carry me out in a stretcher!

My brother and I saw it opening weekend and it took us a few hours to recover. We were just sitting in the corner of Denny's sobbing openly.

I can understand why Bjork never wants to do another proper movie again.
