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...
在美国某个乡村工厂做工的捷克移民塞尔玛(比约克)天性善良,因患有先天性疾病,她的视线正日趋模糊。为了不让遗传了该病的儿子也将宿命继承,塞尔玛每日做工都很辛苦,不知情的好友兼同事林达(凯萨琳•丹妮芙)因心疼而好言相劝时,她总是报一微笑,因为她还有另一个纯粹属于音乐的世界,其间的美好与安静,足以抵挡现实的心酸与艰难。令她欣慰的是,在眼睛要彻底变瞎之前,基本筹齐了儿子手术所需的费用,然而就在此时,意外发生,她的命运被加速推向复杂悲惨的境地。
推荐理由:巨蟹座是小气的,她们吝于给予,但坚硬的壳里面,永远是柔软的内心和满满的对家人的爱。《黑暗中的舞者》中的母亲形象就是一个典型的巨蟹座,为了自己的孩子,献出了自己的生命。
