There is an oddity about myself, I was never good at Mathematics, but I have a mathematical mind, as of analysis, perspective and a fair understanding of symmetry. Having watched Melancholia, filled my mind with euphoria and, despite its' title, happiness.
It was awsome to see the world in mathematical terms, and as Greek is was awsome to hear the reference for Pythagoras who said that the Universe is numbers. I congratulate the director for the wonderful depiction of fractals, as also the writer who gave their best self to write a story based on Math.
The second best was the relationship between teacher/students; being a teacher myself, I saw teens' behaviours that I too faced at school, so, well depicted that too.
I loved the music. Specially the instrumental one that was covering the series. Excellent job.
The actors, now. Male lead and female lead, well done, too. A bit off the change of heart of the mean director at the end, but not that much over the top. Also, well pulled by the second leads.
These said, I strongly recommend Melancholia to those who like to think while watching.
I will definitely read Hardy's 'Apology of a mathematician'.

Thank you for reading this, I hope you found it helpful..
