The film begins with an introductory sequence involving the main characters and images from space,[10] set to the prelude of Richard Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. These sixteen slow motion shots symbolically reveal key elements of the film: Justine in deep melancholy with birds falling behind her; the estate lawn and a sundial with everything casting two shadows; Pieter Brueghel’s The Hunters in the Snow burning; Melancholia covering Antares; Claire carrying Leo through the golf course as her feet sink into the ground; a black horse collapsing under an aurora; Justine standing among clouds of insects emerging from the ground; Justine, Leo and Claire under a sky with Melancholia, the Moon and the Sun visible; Melancholia passing by Earth; electric currents coming off of utility poles and Justine’s fingers; Justine in her wedding attire trudging through a dark stringy material; Melancholia coming back towards Earth; a burning tree outside of a window; an unconscious or dead Justine, again in her wedding attire, floating in water; Leo looking at the sky in shock as he and Justine gather and shave branches in the forest; and lastly Earth colliding with Melancholia.Melancholia 2011 Full Movie Download
Delayed by their stretch limousine’s difficulty traversing the narrow winding rural road, newlyweds Justine and Michael arrive two hours late for their own wedding reception at the estate of Justine’s sister, Claire, and her husband, John. Upon their arrival, Justine takes note of a brightly shining red star in the sky. John explains it is the star Antares, in the constellation Scorpius.
Justine has a dysfunctional family: brother-in-law John constantly complains about having to pay for the wedding despite being very well-off; father Dexter is hedonistic and selfish to the point of narcissism, while mother Gaby is brutally jaded, openly declaring her hatred of marriages during her wedding speech. No one ever asks what Justine wants, or why she is unhappy, but throughout the dinner she is praised for being beautiful.
