Dancer in the Dark 巨蟹
Dancer in the Dark 黑暗中的舞者
The film is set in the U.S. state of Washington in 1964 and focuses on Selma Ježková (Björk), a Czech immigrant who has moved to the United States with her son, Gene Ježek (Kostic). They live a life of poverty as Selma works at a factory with her good friend Kathy, whom she nicknames Cvalda (Deneuve). She rents a trailer home on the property of town policeman Bill Houston (Morse) and his wife Linda Houston (Seymour). She is also pursued by the shy but persistent Jeff (Stormare) who also works at the factory.
What no one in Selma's life knows is that she has a hereditary degenerative disease which is gradually causing her to go blind. She has been saving up every penny that she makes (in a candy tin in her kitchen) to pay for an operation which will prevent her young son from suffering the same fate...
在美國某個鄉村工廠做工的捷克移民塞爾瑪(比約克)天性善良,因患有先天性疾病,她的視線正日趨模糊。為了不讓遺傳了該病的兒子也將宿命繼承,塞爾瑪每日做工都很辛苦,不知情的好友兼同事林達(凱薩琳•丹妮芙)因心疼而好言相勸時,她總是報一微笑,因為她還有另一個純粹屬于音樂的世界,其間的美好與安靜,足以抵擋現實的心酸與艱難。令她欣慰的是,在眼睛要徹底變瞎之前,基本籌齊了兒子手術所需的費用,然而就在此時,意外發生,她的命運被加速推向復雜悲慘的境地。
推薦理由:巨蟹座是小氣的,她們吝于給予,但堅硬的殼里面,永遠是柔軟的內心和滿滿的對家人的愛。《黑暗中的舞者》中的母親形象就是一個典型的巨蟹座,為了自己的孩子,獻出了自己的生命。
