I wonder if the backbone of Melancholia sprung out of the original, abandoned "revelation" that was supposed to be at the end of ANTICHRIST, that being that the world was created by the devil. I said something to this effect in the thread for the full trailer, but with Von Trier I've yet tp shake the feeling that at the heart of his work is something prozaic and ultimately fraudulent (whoever said "white peoples problems just went galactic" in the prior thread, nailed what's kind of getting to me about what we've seen of Melancholia), yet he cuts a pretty picture, and I get pulled in despite my resistance.
