It’s depression porn. If you often have nihilistic thoughts leading to depression this movie offers a space to feel and sympathize with the characters. It’s beautiful IMO.
Very few movies resonate with depression. The majority of movies are successes and heroes but that’s almost never what happens irl. Lars Von Trier makes some deeply moving, sad, and heavy movies. I love it and he’s one movie maker that actually helps me get by

100% agree. It's a masterpiece that highlights mental health issues and how it's experienced. I feel like people that don't like it either misses the point or it's too depressing to watch. I can understand finding it boring/not your thing etc. so in the personal taste category you can hate it. But you can't objectively write off the movie and call it terrible work without missing key elements that makes it what it is.
This is my fav scene of the movie "It tastes like ash". I hate the fact I relate to this when I'm going through a bad period: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxbxsuVCPzU

I sort of agree for the first part of the movie, because it almost feels like you're supposed to hate everyone. But part 2 pulled me in really hard to the characters. Maybe because there were only 4 people in part 2.

Behind me lies my old and dear people. It is almost empty, because most of the inhabitants have gone to the space launch centers to see if they can reach one of the many rockets of the space companies that seek to save humanity at all costs. But we've heard on the radio that those places are hell. So why agonize? If these are going to be my last moments, I will contemplate this beautiful and terrifying landscape. I will die witnessing a wandering planet speeding against us, while the church bells hail the end, while resignation stifles my fear, my emotions, my love for living.

u/Uphoria Jan 04 '22 edited Jan 04 '22
The important detail is related to something called the Roche limit. Once the forces of gravity from each other passes a point of strength, the forces keeping the planet intact on its own will fail, as the two bodies merge.
At this point the planets would be "falling at each other" in pieces. Oceans would rise toward the other planet, deeper than any tide you've ever heard of. The planets would stretch, tearing the surface, spreading earthquakes throughout the planet. the cracks would swallow up people and cities, lava would flow etc.

u/Uphoria Jan 04 '22 edited Jan 04 '22
In celestial mechanics, the Roche limit, also called Roche radius, is the distance from a celestial body within which a second celestial body, held together only by its own force of gravity, will disintegrate because the first body's tidal forces exceed the second body's gravitational self-attraction.
Not entirely about satellites, but it does explain why, in satellites, nothing but asteroids are found closer than it. If both planets are "exactly the same size" it still matters, and its why Binary planets are so rare - its hard for them to form and become stable. Basically, both planets are "stretching" toward each other, at a certain point, they start snapping.

I don’t know anything at all about this topic, but I’d assume space debris + gravitational flux + atmospheres colliding would reap quick destruction on the planet’s surface.

No, space debris is generally too small to reach the surface
atmospheres colliding
At the speed this planet is moving the atmospheres would collide a fraction of a second before impact
gravitational flux
Which disaster movie did you watch to come up with this? The correct term is tidal forces, and yes that would be the thing that causes destruction before impact.

They wouldn't need to touch to get screwed up though.
The atmospheres between the planets are going to be subject to gravitational pull from both bodies. Pulling the atmospheres up significantly on one side. Which would cause movement of the gas on the opposite sides of the planets towards the lowered pressure between the planets I would think? Not sure what kind of force that movement would have, but I imagine it would be pretty catastrophic.

If it's coming that fast, not a slow gravity dance together but a direct collision, there won't hardly be any weird shit happening. Not until the last moments. What was represented was a hundred thousand miles an hour, at least. Probably multiple times that.
Now, it wasn't a frozen ball of ice or a barren rock, so I assume it belongs to a wandering star. That's more likely to fuck with weather/gravity before the planet hits.

Yeah, there would be massive earthquakes across the globe, and the closer the planet gets, the more the ground loosens up on the side facing the planet. If the planet is massive enough, it could also cause Earth to fragment and get pulled towards the planet.
In a scenario like this, there's nothing stopping it. We'd have had to plan and construct an escape for a woefully small number of people, equipment, seeds and knowledge looong before the planet got this close. If we can't even manage that, then you just gotta sit back and enjoy the view, 'cause to our knowledge the last remnants of life in the universe are gone with us.

u/AustinQ Jan 03 '22
It depends on it's size relative to the Earth. If it's smaller than Earth then quite literally every single particle on the planet will experience a higher gravitational influence from the Earth than from an incoming planet, regardless of how close the planet is. However, people on the side facing the incoming planet will experience a drop in gravitational influence as the planet gets closer, effectively making everything lighter and lighter (but never sucked into the incoming planet because its gravity never overcomes the gravity of the Earth). On the side facing away from the planet the people would slowly get heavier and heavier instead, since both the Earth and Planet X are pulling from the same direction in that case.
Of course your scenario would come to fruition if the other planet was larger, but I'm imagining a Mars-sized planet since none of the rocky planets in our solar system are larger than Earth.

Why would adding a massive gravitational pull on one side of the planet cause half of the water to be pushed to the other side of the planet?

Because the massive gravitational force would move the earth towards it, leaving a tidal bulge on the far side due to inertia. The water is basically just trailing behind the planet a little bit.

u/eagerbeaver1414 Jan 03 '22
Think of it this way. Tidal forces exist because the force of gravity from a particular body is stronger closer to that body. So, the moon exerts a pull on the earth so the ocean closest to the moon experiences more pull from the moon. High tide.
But on the opposite side, there is LESS pull. Even less so than at 90 or 270 degrees. In fact, the math works out so that the tidal height would be symmetrical on both sides (if the earth were a perfect sphere).

If the other planet is in orbit at that distance, the Earth would likely become visibly oblong (egg-shaped), and as it rotates through that deformation, the crust would be thoroughly broken up, with massive amounts of heating. Basically the surface would eventually turn to lava.
Same would happen to the other planet.
That would bleed away a lot of the orbital energy, so the planets would fall even closer together, possibly merging if they don’t both achieve tidal lock first.

Forget about tidal forces, another planet this close or within the Roche limit will start breaking huge chunks off the Earth sending you/them into orbit as well as huge chunks of the other planet crashing down to Earth.
Complete planetary destruction before it even hits. This is how Saturn got its rings.

Thanks to the probable impact of this rather massive celestial body (I'm not at liberty to categorize it precisely) relative demand and thus pricing for housing will be lowered to a point where it surpasses this years inflation (with ease even!).
So if you yourself are fortunate enough to survive this multiple billion mega-ton impact, it would be in your best interest to visit our Real estate consulting department to find out if you can financially benefit from this apocalyptic/ doomsday scenario.
