And that is fine. I personally thought it was okay. But it appeared to me that a lot of people had the sentiment that this was the first movie that ever ā€œgets themā€.

It doesnā€™t have to be. Thereā€™s enough movies that depict isolation, loneliness, and outsiderism. But since this was coming from a supervillain franchise it seemed that a certain demographic suddenly stumbled into more serious topics processed through a movie with a familiar theme while they could have had that all along, just without the theme, but based in reality and executed better.

Edit: clarification

Yes, people liked a movie about isolation, loneliness, and outsiderism that met them halfway.

I dig directors like Aki KaurismƤki and Lars von Trier as much as anyone, but a lot of people don't find them "accessible".

Agreed, you gotta put in some work but itā€™s worthwhile. Melancholia is the best movie about Depression Iā€™ve seen so far.

Melancholia is about melancholy silly.

I thought it was a tribute to the Smashing Pumpkins album
