Melancholia x Antichrist
For prologue of the Melancholia and the original soundtrack, which is the Prelude to “Tristan und Isolde”, may be considered as they are fitting since the main focus of the first part of the movie, Justine, is suffering from depression and thinking that only way out of the evilness of the world is for it to end as we can see from how much relieved she is after she learned that Melancholia is going to hit the world.

Now I don’t know what did I get from watching them or if they were worth to watch those movies. I know it is not my place to say that but it is my current opinion, Lars von Trier’s style is feeling like the amateur writers, who think that if they write nonsense people would think that the meaning is so deep, and it is good
