초록

Melancholia is composed of the first and second acts like the opera style. The first act is a story of Justin who leads the wedding to a mess, and the second act is the story of a sister Claire who gets into extreme anxiety as she finds out that planetary Melancholy rushes to Earth. Based on Aristotle's view that the prominent figures have a melancholic temperament, Justin is set to be a copywriter with a genius, artistic inspiration. But Justin is a character who acts strangely if he is caught in the dark madness of melancholy, and Claire is a character who corrects Justin rationally. Justin feels a strong existential doubts in the world that judges everything as a measure of capital that can be calculated, revealing the dark madness that latent on her.
The melancholy and anxiety of Justin and Claire before the earth's end disaster, and the psychological state that sank in despair, are evident through the paintings embedded in the film. The last scene in which the planetary Melancholy clashes as if to pick up the earth represents the problem that our existential despair is not a matter of right or wrong. The conflict between Melancholia and the Earth implies that being in existential despair is the worst catastrophic disaster.
