First of all, it's not porn. I would like to say there's a huge difference between porn and this movie. What I thought is that this movie was in fact very sentimental and realistic. It's clear that you will feel empathy with Joe's story, and after all you'll see that the movie was nothing but a true statement of the life of woman who's actions is guided by sexuality, in this case I would like to point that she's like Samantha( from sexy and the city), a woman who sex experiences and pleasure it's above love, but in Joe's case she feels bad in order of society rules that break her. Have cleared that this movie is not porn. I must say I found part I very poetic, I liked the way that Lars Von Trier actually related Joe's experiences with music, fishing, literature and religion and created metaphors with it. Though, a lot of people preferred the second part, I liked the first one the best, the delicacy of Joe's feelings in the screenplay at this part really got me. The second part is more realistic, after all you can't aspect to live a fairytale for ever. It shows the despair of a woman used to her strong sexuality feeling the first sines of her vitality fail. And as addicted to a drug, she's begun a road the leads her to destruction. At this plot the plot became extremely logical, and some of the sentimentalism was lost to me, in several scenes of Joe's suffering. Now, the ending. I have to say it was disappointing, yet people say it was likely, I didn't like it at all. It's completely predictable. When I saw Selligman leave the room and comeback it became clear what he were to do and it broke my heart. A strong character as him, be stereotyped at the way was totally unfair to him. Anyway it wasn't at all a disaster, as I liked Joe's decision about her life, and the fact she killed Selligman, after all if there is a gun in the story it must be used. My score for this movie is 7. Oh, and you must see it, if you got at least gotten a bit interested about the plot. I can tell it worth seeing.
