This is unbelievably accurate. True deep, dangerous depression takes it all away from you. The food tastes like ashes. It’s frightening how badly your senses go, even the ability to perceive color is dulled.
Mande Peer so true. When I was at my worse, food would taste like ashes, my mouth would go dry, and I'd get nauseous. I thought I was the only one until I saw this movie.
I get the depression take on it with it tasting like ashes, I thought at first she said ashes because she is so tuned in to what’s to become of earth in the next couple day, Ashes!
Oh fucking yes! I remember those awful days. Even the soft wind hurt my skin, every meal made my stomach turn, fucking sunshine gave a migraine… And the worst, everyone thought I was just being a lazy, self indulgent bum😢
I suffered from severe depression and when I did, food would always taste like ashes. My mouth would become dry and I'd feel nauseous. Or, I'd be in my car driving and think, so casually, how easy it would be to let my car veer off a bridge or drive into a tree and kill me. But I always remembered the distinct taste of ashes, when it came to food. It would physically keep me from eating. So for me, this scene was 100% accurate.
Jillian Rachael I hope you are happier now. If not, know that life does get better. The fight is worth the beauty, and you will see more beauty than others because you have known profound pain.
K P oh I definitely am!!! Jesus found me in the darkness and pulled me out of it. I haven't suffered from depression in 10 years. Buy thank you and God bless, for your comment!!!
I’ve lived with bipolar disorder, specifically severe depression my whole life (30 years) and this movie is the most accurate representation of this harrowing affliction I have ever seen. I always think of the bath scene. And this one. Because it’s true in every painful sense.
I watched it right after quitting a job after two days. I felt so defeated just like her character who couldn't even make it through her own wedding without breaking down.
it shows how depressions works differently from person to person. my kind of depression was more like avoiding eating than not enjoying it, because it was like a self punishment for existing. just my personalexperience tho.
A beautiful moment in this film: a few aspects r being presented. Justine FEELS that she eats corpses (1) and Justine FEELS the future (everything's going to end) already, b4 others realise it. A special sensitivity and an extra sense: depression. I soooo love it cause that's EXACTLY how I feel with my depression n it mirrors it soooooo freaking well!!! PPL STOP STIGMATISING DEPRESSION NOW!
My depression is somewhat different, I don't enjoy the things I relied on for entertainment like video games and sketching as much how ever food remain quite enjoyable leading me too eat food in order to fill the void. If it wasn't for grueling exercise and my metabolism I'd be quite chubby.
How were you motivated to exercise if you were so depressed? Thats the first thing I scratch off my to do list when I'm sad or just indifferent about life.
@@brijmsn I'm not the person of the comment above, but I've been going through a similar thing, so at least for me, exercise is like a moment of silence in my brain. The pain in my muscles and the gasps for air take all my attention. It's as if I was just a body at that moment, with no other thought but how tired I feel or how much my legs or arms burn. It's sort of a escape
I know when I'm in a depressive state because showering becomes a chore and I avoid it if possible. By default, I love showering. But it feels so laborious and pointless when I'm in that state. What a great depiction of this awful disease.
Von Trier is commenting on something deeper here than just mere depression. Her personality at the beginning completely falls away and her true self emerges, no longer suppressed. When your mask for the world is stripped away along with everything else it can be hard to move, like how she has trouble getting in and out of the bathtub. It is extremely unpleasant being stripped down to your most primal form.
@@lukedoyle3002 people hate her for some reason or write her off because of her teen movies and the Spider-Man flicks. It's the same with Kristen Stewart. They've both developed into phenomenal actresses .
I know it’s the depression affecting her ability to taste but to me this is a bit symbolic of the ending. If you know, you know. She’s supposed to be clairvoyant, after all
If I said, “ Every time I eat at a black friend’s house...” RUclips would censor me for racist remarks. But apparently it’s fine to make racist comments As long as said comments are against people with low melanin pigmentation i.e. White People. You know, we “privileged” folks. SMHID.
I have depression and this is... just... fucking weird tbh. Unless this is SOOOOO super depressed that it is 1 breath away from dying of sorrow. Tastes like Ashes... blub blub. It was so funny, that I had to google the line just to see if anyone else thought it was stupid. My depression is not mild either.
It's not literally the taste that's making her cry but the realization that her depression is affecting even the little things she used to enjoy. It just sucks the joy out of everything piece by piece until you're so deep in a hole that you can't even see the light anymore, just complete darkness.
multiple people here said they experienced this exact change in the taste of food when deeply depressed. either your depression is different or you're not as depressed as you think

Terrible feelings. Everything around you looks like it is lost of the energy, power, colour and joy. You can't even move your mouth to eat.

Um, no....
This scene scared the shit out of me. The sheer hopelessness is so palpable.
Dunst really deserved the Cannes award for Best Actress last 2011. She was enthralling in such a subtle way.
She was snubbed for political reasons. She should have won the Oscar for Bet Actress.
I find she's consistently underrated. She's wonderful.
Kirsten nailed it! This is depression........
Knowing the impending doom of the planet I would say is worse than mere depression.
This portrayal of depression is so powerful. I have it too its brutal
This is the best representation of depression I ever saw in a movie
More like a catatonic break.
I've cried like this before. It's horrible
Me too. It is.

It doesnt taste like ashes. It doesnt taste at all.
oh wow ive been there. von trier captures depression so vividly on screen.

my favorite movie of all time. i watched it depressed and i know how she felt. everything was so horrible.
after years of this blackness i got strength to go to a doctor. i am now on remeron 30mg and i am better after 6 months of taking i wish you goodness
I watched it right after quitting a job after two days. I felt so defeated just like her character who couldn't even make it through her own wedding without breaking down.
This is one of the best scenes in my opinion (so very well acted, so depressive, so brilliant.), thanks for uploading it.

Isn't it more about the severity? I think Justine was extremely severely depressed. Justine not only avoided eating but also couldn't taste

"ONE DAY YOUR JOY WILL TURN TO ASHES IN YOUR MOUTH"
I never had anyone supporting me in my severe stages. Never ever. Going through this rn all by myself thinking about ending it all.
The wrost part is when you are severely depressed like this but have zero support and completely alone…..

She , Viola Davis and Tilda Swinton were the best actress of 2011
I cannot tell you how many times I have used this line.
its worst when it taste like shit
When you eat at Subway...
And McDonalds, and Jack-in-the-Box...
To tell you the truth, Subway's food has no flavor!
😂😂😂😂😂

"Kirsten Dunst is a terrible actress!" Clearly those people have not seen Melancholia
ArcaneSiren or Fargo
Who even says that?

@@rabidheartbeats5953 but she is easily the best part of those spiderman flicks. people b dumb
Or Interview with the Vampire!!!
Yes, but artisan single-source ashes.

this scene destroys me everytime
Me at any given dinner party
This movie traumatized me
is this major depressive disorder?
Sad scene of Kirsten.
Best scene ❤
It's too real.
Everytime I eat at a white friend's house.
Jajjjajaj

@@jjtsmom Chill, it ain't that deep.
@@blackphillip63 I agree. But tell that to CNN or MSNBC...
@@blackphillip63 It absolutely would be deep if the races were reversed. You know there is a double standard. Let's not play dumb.
Well of course the meatloaf tastes like ashes, because Aunt May didn't make it
& Bully Maguire put dirt in the meatloaf
I get that maybe this is supposed to be a critical moment but for me it just seemed awkward as fuck
I have depression and this is... just... fucking weird tbh. Unless this is SOOOOO super depressed that it is 1 breath away from dying of sorrow.
Tastes like Ashes... blub blub. It was so funny, that I had to google the line just to see if anyone else thought it was stupid.
My depression is not mild either.
depression is different for everybody this scene was the most emotional scene of the movie for me personally.
its stupid

Ah yes, only your version of depression matters and exists.
God I hate this movie and her character so much
considering your taste in music and RUclips content makers it's not surprising
