Breaking the Waves
Its not the dead that matter its the ones who breathe that do, its you the viewers who Lars Von Trier cares about for the first time and the last, who are waiting for his word like he’s a God. For the last time he’s giving a shoulder for you to rest on, there’s someone watching all of this, faith : however superfluous that concept is, is rewarded in an even more mysterious way, not to the sufferer but to the witness. Bess’s belief was not false in at least some context, of which only you the viewer, the living, are aware, you matter not the dead, so thanks for sitting through this journey. Peace ...*
