Michael Ardovitch You'd need a parachute. Once the earth is destroyed the gravity is coming from the bigger planet now and will pull you that way but depending on where on earth you used to be, your descent to the new planet surface might take awhile.
Melancholia is a gas giant, so there literally isn't at solid ground, let alone breathable air, water etc. Also the impact would've heated the entire planet to a four-digit temperature.
Melancholia's gravity would tear Earth to pieces as soon as we passed within its Roche limit, so Earth wouldn't be intact at the point of impact. Not that it matters for the movie. Its a beautiful, haunting sequence. Great film.

@@sammencia7945 the probes in space will likely go undetected unless something quasi magical like star trek sensor arrays become a thing. Those on other physical bodies may last a long time, but will be extremely difficult to find, and may well be destroyed or covered upby debris (e.g. probes on the Martian surface when after many centuries of dust storms) Geosynchronous satellites would have had their orbits heavily disrupted. Many would impact on melancholia itself. The best that could be hoped for would be drifting unnoticed in space for all eternity. Assuming that the moon survived at all, the gravitational forces acting on it would likely be significantly disruptive. Assuming that the moon wasn't ejected from the solar system, it would seem highly questionable whether its orbit could remain stable in view of melancholia's large mass, meaning it might well end up being consumed. Even if it stayed on about the same relative position, 5 million years is not very long in the grand scheme of things
@@IncorrigibleBigotry A great point? This person has more compassion for an inanimate rock getting destroyed than for the billions of sentient humans dying horribly, not to mention billions of other animals as well. A psychopathic point i would say.
This is such a tragic ending. All of our humanity, our history, every kingdom, country, family, animal, plant, tree, struggle, survival, economy, lifestyle, knowledge, relationship, love, music, treasured item, ancient wonder, culture, religion, invention, everything is completely destroyed. Our existence would never be found because the Earth is swallowed by this planet. If we at least still had the planet from a nuclear fallout, someone could at least find fossils, but getting swallowed, we are gone. Every step of progress that humanity strived to achieve, every son and daughter that was survived by their family is wiped out completely. Our centuries of gathered scientific knowledge was all for nothing. The only thing that could prove our existence is Voyager. This movie really captured the hopelessness of impending doom, and we take it for granted that we live in this world, when everything we know and hold dear can be taken from us in an instant.

One hell of a movie...Scary, tender and tense at the same time. "Melancholia" encapsulates the essence ans is indeed the best title one could have come up with.
This movie sparked a deep interest in me that started my "end of the world" kick. All the movies I've seen I have enjoyed, but Melancholia is so unforgettable. Not only the art style, but the science. This large planet comes along and leaves nothing behind. Makes you feel small. Not to be too morbid, but when you look at life like this, and see how quickly it really could be over, if makes you think about how the likelihood of this happening is quite possible.
a majority of space is empty, so a large speck hitting a small speck, not even like a narrow hit but a head-on collision, is probably very, very unlikely. edit: was watching this again and found my own comment in the wild, 10/13/2023
There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
Great, interesting, unique Drama/Sci-Fi movie with awesome acting. Kirsten Dunst impressed me the most. She should play more dramatic roles in the future. She's talented. The whole cast did a great job here. Melancholia is one of my favorite Sci-Fi films of the 2010's (next to Limitless, Inception, Prometheus, Tron: Legacy, Cloud Atlas and Looper)
Alright! So today we're checking the only game where there's absolutely no way to prevent the Earth from being absorbed by a huge ball of sadness, it's Melancholia.
@@stacyeandrew2 its to complete the parallels with justine earlier in the film. She has to be completely undone by her terror and anxiety about the impact. She can't help but look because she desperately wants to believe that it cant happen to the point of total irrationality in the end. Justine accepted her fate long ago
If this were to happen, I'd host the biggest dinner the day before. thanksgiving, christmas, Easter, birthday, anniversary dinners all mashed into one meal...then bon voyage!!
You wouldn't be able to. There would be nothing to eat long before impact. And no power to cook. And a lot of your friends would be dead from riots and looting.
rather die like that than during a fucking nuclear war, really guys, to me this is a more beautiful and better way to go than by the hands of tyrannical maniacs.
@@daleksupreme2913 Yeah, screw this nonsense. Nuclear war will have survivors, no matter what movies try to tell you. This impact is complete annihilation.
I actually think the scene would have been more powerful without the sound, because it would have made the collision seem even less. It would have emphasized the insignificance of Earth coming to an end, which is part of what I feel like the movie is about. What I liked so much about the movie was how the planet was just hanging there; how it was so undramatically and indifferently ready to destroy every trace of Earth and how the Universe has no interest whatsoever in being kind or merciful. To me, the movie is about how humanity happens to find itself in a reality that really doesn't at all care about us, and how at the end, there will be nothing to save us and nothing to make sense of. I also feel like this is the realization that Kirsten Dunst's character had towards the end of the movie and that that is why she was able to remain calm despite the world coming to an end. She began to see Earth from the perspective of the universe rather than from that of humanity, that is to say, from no perspective at all. And through the realization that all life does not matter she found peace with it coming to an end.
club4ghz Shoe Maker levy collided with Jupiter, it was pulled from its trajectory due to Jupiters gravity. If a planet is in for a head on collision with earth then its game over.
The earth seemed to be more heavy than that gigant planet, if you see, the atmosphere of "Nibiru" was attracted by the earth, that means the gravity of our planet was stronger.
Jupiter has an enormous gravitational influence. I don't know if it extends out past its radiation bands, but a wise man would veer clear of Jupiter in present day spacecraft. It's a gas giant, they require enormous gravitational influence to maintain cohesion. Pluto wouldn't have been able to exert the gravitational influence so far from the sun with no atmosphere to speak of, but Jupiter is a mother fucking power house of destruction. Words can't express the sheer magnitude of danger this planet presents to anyone coming near it. We'd be dead before we made it past the radiation bands in a modern space craft.
Every one. Every last soul... no longer thinking about superficial things. There's something so beautiful about this scene. All of humanity finally achieves world peace.
There is no peace in this universe. It does not functionally exist on any level. The dream of peace is a dream against the very fabric of the universe and physics. Conflict is literally everywhere.
@@blue-phoenix115 Actually there is a God. He's revealing Himself now to millions in this third day - to all that want to see. Don't miss the boat. This third millenium is, indeed, the 3rd day. We have all been in the midst of a divine test. Us all being here on this little blue dot in the middle of nowhere is not just to go shopping, texting, and clubbing. It's not just to climb the corporate latter. It's not all in vain. It's for many to be molded and prepared, but only those that can spiritually break through the thick layer of deceptful crust. Anyone that thinks they are just too smart and just too above it all, because they are afraid to be seen as "uncool," and anyone that thinks they have it all figured out because of a few barstool conversations and after only having been on this planet for a few years, then it will cost them dearly (understatement.) Jesus Christ is the Word of God and He is real. This world has done its best to make eveyrone think he is a made up story. The church has been and still is to this day evil's number one weapon for creating logical disbelief in this world. The ironic thing is that the Bible warns all of us of this fact. Don't believe what you see with those gelatinous eyeballs of yours or what you hear with those fallible ears. Go to the source. You do NOT want to be wrong about this. Sincerest love to you and yours! Glory and Praise be to God in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ!
Melancholia is not a disaster movie at all. It's a movie about depression and anxiety. The disaster is background story and the collision only purpose is to serve as a metaphor.
In all seriousness and scientifically speaking Chuck Norris would have roundhoused the other planet away while maintaining Earths stability with a stare.
@@rolandmine6693 Yeah of course it's not 0, it's probably more like 0.00000000000000001 or something like that lol First of all, idk where did u get that there's more rouge planets than planets. As far as I know, we can't know that because we can't even observe most rouge planets unless they are very massive and young since they would be hot and glow, and that makes them much easier to spot with a telescope. Colder and smaller rouge planets are literally invisible and impossible to spot with our current technology. AND, even if there were that many rouge planets... Earth has existed for over 4.5 billion years, and here it is, no rouge planet collided with it ever, or with any other planet in our solar system. So yeah it's not gonna happen. The precission necessary for a rouge planet to intercept and collide with earth is so ridiculous... Even if a rouge planet passed very close to our solar system, it would just not collide with anything, all it would do is slighly alter the orbits. Hell, there's even thousands of dangerous asteroids that could kill the entire human race near the Earth that pass next to us all the time, yet they don't collide, because guess what? Earth or any planet is freaking tiny compared to the empty space around it... Even the stars. Yes, there might be billions of stars planets and rouge planets in the milky way, but the distances are unconprehensibly huge, so much so that the odds for a star collision or a planet and rouge planet collision are unfathomably low, to the point you could say they are just 0. Just like the odds of you or me getting richer than elon musk, or wait no, even lower.
A good description of the feeling of depression, though omit the point where the planet hits. Keep it hovering in the sky, threatening to crush Earth at any moment, but it never fully does.
@@greywalker505 Right can u imagine! What would you do? No point in trying to stay alive since there's nothing to go back to, so I guess I'd say goodbye to my family and just take my helmet off. Well I might wait a little to see if aliens stop by to see the wreakage or whatever and wave my hands to them 😂😂😂
In the movie, Kristen Dunst's character's family (I totally forgot her name) is in the USA (North America), but the shock moment depicted above shows Melancholia hitting Earth's side where Asia is.
I think the thing that would be hardest for me to come to terms with would that's the end of everything. No one goes on. Nothing. All wiped out in an instant. It was a very powerful ending and it left me feeling a bit deflated for a while. It's a beautiful movie for sure and I've watched it more than once. But that ending. Ugh. Beautiful and absolutely soul sucking.
the only way to possibly, ever preserve humanity would be the rapid colonization of the moon. it'd be too hard to make it self sustaining though, so it would only prolong the inevitable
Can you imagine what it would be like if there were thinking beings on the other planet? this would be a mass extinction event for both worlds. The first encounter between alien civilizations born of a disaster destined not to have a happy ending.
This movie does not take into account the roche limit obviously. Earth would get deformed into an egg shape as it approaches then torn to bits. There would be no impact just Earths' mass getting absorbed into the gas giant.
According to the movie, Melancholia was a "super earth". A massive terrestrial planet. The collision sequence gives the impression that Melancholia was a gas giant, as it appears to "swallow" Earth. The collision of a solid Earth colliding with a larger solid planet would have caused a massive firestorm encircling the larger planet, perhaps even turning the surface of Melancholia molten.
I think that's actually just a thick atmosphere. Super Earths have more mass so they would attract more gas towards them, thus forming a thicker atmosphere. P.S Also planet collisions act more like fluid.
I read up about this movie's background. You are correct that the this movie does not follow the laws of physics. But the creator modeled this movie from the doomsday theories about Planet X hitting earth in 2012. There was a lot of that going around. No scientific accuracy to it, but it was interesting that someone decided to take the concept and make a movie out of it. I still need to see this movie. I know I will at some point.
Well, the movie followed the story of a single family. Likely the authorities knew about the collision well in advance, but knew they couldn't do anything about it, so simply let people live their last days in peace. A rogue planet that big, though, they would have seen it at a pretty good distance, and knew it would annihilate the Earth far in advance.
If you get the DVD and check the special features you will see that there is also an astronomer talking about the movie, and he was saying that this scenario is NOT impossible.
Out of all the planets in this system, all other objects far bigger with far larger gravitational pulls, Earth is of course still the one it goes for cause plot.
I would think so considering how much bigger the other planet is. The main characters definitely would have died before impact. Earth would have started coming apart from the stronger gravitational force before the planets touched with the first signs of the atmosphere being pulled off the Earth even earlier.
Not quite. What would happen is that the earth would be stretched due to the new set of tidal forces acting on it, causing catastrophic tectonic hemorrhaging minutes before impact. Very few people would live to see the collision.
That's a really good question. Most answers I've seen say that the tidal forces from the approaching planet would cause massive tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, thousand-mph winds, etc, so the destruction would be so intense that it would be hard to even tell what was going on with gravity. Everyone on the side of the planet directly facing Melancholia would be dead long before impact. The movie gets that part wrong.
Hmm yeah I hadn't thought of the possibility of it arriving at right angles with the orbit. But in the picture it shows the sunlight illuminating from left to right (the same direction as the planet is approaching) And there's not even a shadow cast on Earth. You're right, the scenario is plausible actually. But they really were sloppy with the technicalities that would make it more realistic.
Adino1 lol more like nightmares about outer space and the planets moving around causing imbalances... or like the sun and moon getting closer and closer and just everything changing really fast... freaks the hell out of me hahahA
Existential dread, I know the feeling well. But I get it from something else, something even bigger. This reminds me though, there is a section in the book of Enoch where the angel Uriel takes him to a place that is a swirling abyss and it has 7 large stars circling around it, and a column of fire being sucked into what I'm pretty sure is a black hole, further than he could see. And he asked Uriel why he took him to this dreadful place, and how much is frightened him. Book of Enoch chapter 21
Many many people feel the same...we long for an end beyond our control. There's great comfort in the great equalization of total planetary annihilation. We can thank the cosmos. That's why disaster and zombie and end of society films and books are continually growing more popular. We've lost something in our deepest psyche...
ovechkin100 Yes, and no. It's entirely possible that rocky planets larger than our own, having been long orphaned from their home systems, could meander through the Sol system, flinging comets and asteroids and other space debris all about before hitting Earth smack on, though it needs to be understood that in this scenario, the ultimate fate would likely be the other planetoid shattering as it consumes our own, like shooting an egg with a BB gun
ovechkin100 It's meant to be metaphorical. A person dealing with depression thinking that the worst is over as the planet moves away. The sudden realization that it's not over yet as it again begins to move towards once more and then their whole world ending as it impacts full force, essentially shutting a person down. It was never meant to be a realistic depiction but one that represents the anxiety, unpredictability, and utter hopelessness one feels as a result of depression.
Isabella Martinez Not really. The gas layers only go so far down before pressure causes it to re-solidify, and if the speed and power of the object hitting it is powerful enough, the shock wave could blow the planet apart. So, more like a BB through JELLO. It might survive, it might not, it's up in the air.
This movie deserves all the oscars! 🎉❤❤❤🎉 Anyone saying that they felt it was a preposterous and weak storyline, is clearly not understanding the concept. 🙄 You must be a super depressed, and spiritually deep planetoid to get it.🫥🥺😭 Plot: Melancholia kept telling the Earth to move out of the way of its sudden and mysterious orbit, and it just wouldn't listen! Causing them to crash in to each other in a heart breaking ending 😞. The pain and suffering Earth caused to the other (and itself!) is enough to make you wish everyone could feel the pain only a sentimental sap could feel! Most of the acting is just amazing (if you can ignore Earth hamming it up a bit at the end) and you can just see all the layers of meaning in this (short) but great film! Some say Earth is the true victim, but that's only because they don't see the Melancholia the way better people do. 😘🤩 Best 34 seconds I never paid for, and if you don't like it, YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!1!1
This scenario is soo terrifying, i mean if it were a massive asteroid then we would at least be able to destroy it with a crapload of nukes but an entire planet 20 times the size of earth.. imagine how dense that would be, 100 nukes would barely make a dent, hell we don't have enough nukes on earth to do anything to that planet, we'd be dooomed
If you think we have nukes that can do anything to asteroid I have some news for you.Most likely scenario is that we wouldnt even know that there is asteroid coming at us. They are invisible in some scenario.
It isn't a gas giant, really, it just has an atmosphere. Probably at the outer edge of size for a rocky world. It does, though, do what a gas giant would do - the pressure wave shatters the Earth and the mass would simply be absorbed into the larger planet. Doesn't collide so much as *eat* us, but that part, at least, is pretty realistic.
This makes me wonder what the great filter is that prevents seeing life all around us in the universe. Something apparently prevents intelligent life from being everywhere. We've been looking for 50 years and haven't seen hide nor hair of any alien civilizations.
When I first watched this I missed a huge point in the film. At the very end with the planet colliding with Earth, I thought Melonchoila was the small one and the giant one was Earth. I just thought to myself "Well at least the planet is still intact"...But I know better now..
I'm mostly talking about the fact that any large mass in the solar system has been obliterated from the path of the planets, mostly tiny comets with inconsequential impacts are left. And secondly, a planet that big would alter the orbit well before the actual collision. And thirdly, what the hell is a planet doing outside our solar system (whose order has been established a long time ago) which suddenly happens to fall into the gravity of our sun from outer space?
Seldom Studios watch the movie, Kirsten duntz’ character has some kind of psychic connection to the universe that tells her that there’s no other life in the universe except earth, so after the big splat, that’s it, the universe is a huge, empty waste of space. Until life begins on another planet somewhere, given how ridiculously enormous the universe is and the near-eternity it would exist.
Russell Harrell Ever see the Hubble deep field picture? A pinpoint in the sky contained hundreds of thousands of galaxies. To me, a lifeless universe is unfathomable.
"Bigger planet crashing into earth" seen it! Covered it! We know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two We Are Farmers Ba da dun dun dumb dum duh
Now if I were Lars Von Trier, here’s how I would have ended the movie... Melancholia missed planet Earth, & does not come back at all. BUT... there’s one last surprise. Earth’s orbit has been destabilized, & is doomed to become another rogue planet. That’s a more realistic way of doing it. The idea of any space object turning around & coming back for a 2nd strike is not only cartoony, but also sounds very familiar... Where did I seen that before... Oh, yes! the opening of Clayfighters: Tournament Edition. Where a giant purple meteorite passes by earth, then deliberately turns around & hits Earth.
it's not too unrealistic, if it passes very closely by the first time, in a very narrow elliptical orbit just on the cusp of being hyperbolic, then gravity from the rest of the solar system nudges it on the way back
It all depends on the motion of the planet as it comes in. Depending on its velocity (speed and direction) a rogue planet could hit anything whatsoever in the solar system.
I would have jumped over to the other planet at the last moment.
that wouldnt help you all life would be eradicated on both planets
Michael Ardovitch
You'd need a parachute. Once the earth is destroyed the gravity is coming from the bigger planet now and will pull you that way but depending on where on earth you used to be, your descent to the new planet surface might take awhile.
you don't know if you can live on the other planet. Is their water, oxygen, what is the temperature there. Then a parachute won't help you either.

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.

Great, interesting, unique Drama/Sci-Fi movie with awesome acting. Kirsten Dunst impressed me the most. She should play more dramatic roles in the future. She's talented. The whole cast did a great job here.
Melancholia is one of my favorite Sci-Fi films of the 2010's (next to Limitless, Inception, Prometheus, Tron: Legacy, Cloud Atlas and Looper)

@@stacyeandrew2 its to complete the parallels with justine earlier in the film. She has to be completely undone by her terror and anxiety about the impact.

Sound in space, seems legit.
CsGhost12 Not to mention there's a cameraman in space
As well as an orchestra 0/10
Space orchestra.....
I actually think the scene would have been more powerful without the sound, because it would have made the collision seem even less. It would have emphasized the insignificance of Earth coming to an end, which is part of what I feel like the movie is about. What I liked so much about the movie was how the planet was just hanging there; how it was so undramatically and indifferently ready to destroy every trace of Earth and how the Universe has no interest whatsoever in being kind or merciful. To me, the movie is about how humanity happens to find itself in a reality that really doesn't at all care about us, and how at the end, there will be nothing to save us and nothing to make sense of. I also feel like this is the realization that Kirsten Dunst's character had towards the end of the movie and that that is why she was able to remain calm despite the world coming to an end. She began to see Earth from the perspective of the universe rather than from that of humanity, that is to say, from no perspective at all. And through the realization that all life does not matter she found peace with it coming to an end.
plus it travels in light speed
Never knew sound could travel through space.
I wonder who was the first to kiss the planet
Smaller planet would be pulled apart by the gravity of the big one before collision
Not when it goes into direct collision with it. otherwise no meteorite or comet would impact a planet ever.
Shoemaker-Levy was pulled apart before directly hitting Jupiter with it's pieces. How about that ?
club4ghz Shoe Maker levy collided with Jupiter, it was pulled from its trajectory due to Jupiters gravity. If a planet is in for a head on collision with earth then its game over.
The earth seemed to be more heavy than that gigant planet, if you see, the atmosphere of "Nibiru" was attracted by the earth, that means the gravity of our planet was stronger.
Jupiter has an enormous gravitational influence. I don't know if it extends out past its radiation bands, but a wise man would veer clear of Jupiter in present day spacecraft. It's a gas giant, they require enormous gravitational influence to maintain cohesion. Pluto wouldn't have been able to exert the gravitational influence so far from the sun with no atmosphere to speak of, but Jupiter is a mother fucking power house of destruction. Words can't express the sheer magnitude of danger this planet presents to anyone coming near it. We'd be dead before we made it past the radiation bands in a modern space craft.
Every one. Every last soul... no longer thinking about superficial things. There's something so beautiful about this scene. All of humanity finally achieves world peace.
There is no peace in this universe. It does not functionally exist on any level. The dream of peace is a dream against the very fabric of the universe and physics. Conflict is literally everywhere.

Possibly the most artsy disaster movie ever 😯👍🏻
Lars von Trier, my friend. Lars von Trier.
This movie has nothing to do with the disaster. It is about humans.
Melancholia is not a disaster movie at all. It's a movie about depression and anxiety. The disaster is background story and the collision only purpose is to serve as a metaphor.
Earth:Been here for 4.5 billion years.
Melancholia:Hold my gravity.

@@DeMooniC it’s never 0 in fact there are more rouge planets roaming the universe then planets orbiting a star
@@rolandmine6693 Yeah of course it's not 0, it's probably more like 0.00000000000000001 or something like that lol
First of all, idk where did u get that there's more rouge planets than planets. As far as I know, we can't know that because we can't even observe most rouge planets unless they are very massive and young since they would be hot and glow, and that makes them much easier to spot with a telescope. Colder and smaller rouge planets are literally invisible and impossible to spot with our current technology.
AND, even if there were that many rouge planets... Earth has existed for over 4.5 billion years, and here it is, no rouge planet collided with it ever, or with any other planet in our solar system. So yeah it's not gonna happen.
The precission necessary for a rouge planet to intercept and collide with earth is so ridiculous... Even if a rouge planet passed very close to our solar system, it would just not collide with anything, all it would do is slighly alter the orbits.
Hell, there's even thousands of dangerous asteroids that could kill the entire human race near the Earth that pass next to us all the time, yet they don't collide, because guess what? Earth or any planet is freaking tiny compared to the empty space around it... Even the stars. Yes, there might be billions of stars planets and rouge planets in the milky way, but the distances are unconprehensibly huge, so much so that the odds for a star collision or a planet and rouge planet collision are unfathomably low, to the point you could say they are just 0.
Just like the odds of you or me getting richer than elon musk, or wait no, even lower.

I think the thing that would be hardest for me to come to terms with would that's the end of everything. No one goes on. Nothing. All wiped out in an instant. It was a very powerful ending and it left me feeling a bit deflated for a while. It's a beautiful movie for sure and I've watched it more than once. But that ending. Ugh. Beautiful and absolutely soul sucking.
the only way to possibly, ever preserve humanity would be the rapid colonization of the moon. it'd be too hard to make it self sustaining though, so it would only prolong the inevitable
Is it weird that I found this somehow beautiful?
Niko Martinez no it's not
Destruction is a strange mix of beauty and horror. Some see more horror; others, more beauty.
No not at all it's meant to be taken that way
I think it was intended to be beautiful
I think Von Trier's fashionable nihilism and pessimism are ugly, as are everyone's.
Life on earth would have already been wiped out by the time of impact
It's kind of relaxing watching this, don't ask me why.
Because its beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
It's relaxing because it reminds you that you are safe in this real world. You are shelter from the terrors of the universe.
Can you imagine what it would be like if there were thinking beings on the other planet? this would be a mass extinction event for both worlds.

@@diecar128
The atmosphere is dense enough to burn most debrees. Not as much as Earth but still.
This movie does not take into account the roche limit obviously. Earth would get deformed into an egg shape as it approaches then torn to bits. There would be no impact just Earths' mass getting absorbed into the gas giant.
According to the movie, Melancholia was a "super earth". A massive terrestrial planet. The collision sequence gives the impression that Melancholia was a gas giant, as it appears to "swallow" Earth. The collision of a solid Earth colliding with a larger solid planet would have caused a massive firestorm encircling the larger planet, perhaps even turning the surface of Melancholia molten.
I think that's actually just a thick atmosphere. Super Earths have more mass so they would attract more gas towards them, thus forming a thicker atmosphere.
P.S Also planet collisions act more like fluid.
NIBURU
Earth hitting that planet would've been like the moon hitting earth.
I read up about this movie's background. You are correct that the this movie does not follow the laws of physics. But the creator modeled this movie from the doomsday theories about Planet X hitting earth in 2012. There was a lot of that going around. No scientific accuracy to it, but it was interesting that someone decided to take the concept and make a movie out of it.
I still need to see this movie. I know I will at some point.
Well, the movie followed the story of a single family. Likely the authorities knew about the collision well in advance, but knew they couldn't do anything about it, so simply let people live their last days in peace. A rogue planet that big, though, they would have seen it at a pretty good distance, and knew it would annihilate the Earth far in advance.
Pac Man got way to big.
"And just like that... we were gone!" - Forest Gump
If you get the DVD and check the special features you will see that there is also an astronomer talking about the movie, and he was saying that this scenario is NOT impossible.
LOVE THIS MOVIE!
Out of all the planets in this system, all other objects far bigger with far larger gravitational pulls, Earth is of course still the one it goes for cause plot.
I guess you could say that it's a "plot hole," since that bigger planet just fell right into it. Giggity.
Oh damn. The moon is next.
would people be sent flying in the sky a few moment before the bang?
Depends if the gravitational pull is higher than Earth
Have to admit it would be an interesting and beautiful way to end things
I would think so considering how much bigger the other planet is. The main characters definitely would have died before impact. Earth would have started coming apart from the stronger gravitational force before the planets touched with the first signs of the atmosphere being pulled off the Earth even earlier.
Not quite. What would happen is that the earth would be stretched due to the new set of tidal forces acting on it, causing catastrophic tectonic hemorrhaging minutes before impact. Very few people would live to see the collision.
That's a really good question. Most answers I've seen say that the tidal forces from the approaching planet would cause massive tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, thousand-mph winds, etc, so the destruction would be so intense that it would be hard to even tell what was going on with gravity. Everyone on the side of the planet directly facing Melancholia would be dead long before impact. The movie gets that part wrong.
earth: oh shit!
melancholia: FU asteroid movies try me!
This is why we need Superman instead of Batman.
Based on the movie, there's no way that Melancholia is this big.
George Hamilton this is from the movie!
Just another ending
This is an official alternate ending?
Yeah in the final scene if the planet was this big it would have been filling the entire sky long before they were killed.
Hmm yeah I hadn't thought of the possibility of it arriving at right angles with the orbit. But in the picture it shows the sunlight illuminating from left to right (the same direction as the planet is approaching) And there's not even a shadow cast on Earth. You're right, the scenario is plausible actually. But they really were sloppy with the technicalities that would make it more realistic.

Existential dread, I know the feeling well. But I get it from something else, something even bigger. This reminds me though, there is a section in the book of Enoch where the angel Uriel takes him to a place that is a swirling abyss and it has 7 large stars circling around it, and a column of fire being sucked into what I'm pretty sure is a black hole, further than he could see. And he asked Uriel why he took him to this dreadful place, and how much is frightened him. Book of Enoch chapter 21

Many many people feel the same...we long for an end beyond our control. There's great comfort in the great equalization of total planetary annihilation. We can thank the cosmos. That's why disaster and zombie and end of society films and books are continually growing more popular. We've lost something in our deepest psyche...
the size comparison here, and when they are sitting on the planet as they are hit is way off!!!
***** its beautiful
ovechkin100 Yes, and no. It's entirely possible that rocky planets larger than our own, having been long orphaned from their home systems, could meander through the Sol system, flinging comets and asteroids and other space debris all about before hitting Earth smack on, though it needs to be understood that in this scenario, the ultimate fate would likely be the other planetoid shattering as it consumes our own, like shooting an egg with a BB gun
ovechkin100 It's meant to be metaphorical. A person dealing with depression thinking that the worst is over as the planet moves away. The sudden realization that it's not over yet as it again begins to move towards once more and then their whole world ending as it impacts full force, essentially shutting a person down.
It was never meant to be a realistic depiction but one that represents the anxiety, unpredictability, and utter hopelessness one feels as a result of depression.
+MrGroxana well , if The planetoid is a gas giant , then it won't break apart , like dropping an egg in a pool of honey
Isabella Martinez Not really. The gas layers only go so far down before pressure causes it to re-solidify, and if the speed and power of the object hitting it is powerful enough, the shock wave could blow the planet apart. So, more like a BB through JELLO. It might survive, it might not, it's up in the air.
This is how I picture the collision of Earth and Bronson Alpha when I read When Worlds Collide each year.
that sound the celestial bodies made on impact shook my soul.
such a sound would, in real life, kill many before the fires did.
mankind's only hope
At least it was a quick death, one the atmosphere was sucked out impact and break up of the crust a few second later.
Mi pregunta aqui es que pasó con la luna
that was just the atmosphere of that planet...more than likey had a rocky crust like earth.
This movie deserves all the oscars! 🎉❤❤❤🎉
Anyone saying that they felt it was a preposterous and weak storyline, is clearly not understanding the concept. 🙄 You must be a super depressed, and spiritually deep planetoid to get it.🫥🥺😭
Plot: Melancholia kept telling the Earth to move out of the way of its sudden and mysterious orbit, and it just wouldn't listen! Causing them to crash in to each other in a heart breaking ending 😞.
The pain and suffering Earth caused to the other (and itself!) is enough to make you wish everyone could feel the pain only a sentimental sap could feel!
Most of the acting is just amazing (if you can ignore Earth hamming it up a bit at the end) and you can just see all the layers of meaning in this (short) but great film!
Some say Earth is the true victim, but that's only because they don't see the Melancholia the way better people do. 😘🤩

Meloncholia is basically a rogue planet drifting around the galaxy consuming other planets in its way. Hilarious, what a way to go.
Walk it off, folks. Walk it off.
Shields up.
This scenario is soo terrifying, i mean if it were a massive asteroid then we would at least be able to destroy it with a crapload of nukes but an entire planet 20 times the size of earth.. imagine how dense that would be, 100 nukes would barely make a dent, hell we don't have enough nukes on earth to do anything to that planet, we'd be dooomed
Is it less terrifying if in the future we have weapons (like antimatter bombs) that can destroy planets?
@@Emeric62antimatter bomb is surely a great idea, i sure hope we wont use it kill each other
If you think we have nukes that can do anything to asteroid I have some news for you.Most likely scenario is that we wouldnt even know that there is asteroid coming at us. They are invisible in some scenario.
Well jsut make a death star to destroy Melancholia
It isn't a gas giant, really, it just has an atmosphere. Probably at the outer edge of size for a rocky world. It does, though, do what a gas giant would do - the pressure wave shatters the Earth and the mass would simply be absorbed into the larger planet. Doesn't collide so much as *eat* us, but that part, at least, is pretty realistic.
(Me): That is just terrifying! Just imagine! (my brain): planets go brr
and just like that.... we never existed.
This makes me wonder what the great filter is that prevents seeing life all around us in the universe. Something apparently prevents intelligent life from being everywhere. We've been looking for 50 years and haven't seen hide nor hair of any alien civilizations.
Maybe they’re having the same problem finding us.
When I first watched this I missed a huge point in the film. At the very end with the planet colliding with Earth, I thought Melonchoila was the small one and the giant one was Earth. I just thought to myself "Well at least the planet is still intact"...But I know better now..
Well even if it was the reverse there would have been no life on Earth after with an asteroid of this size.
for all we have loved and for all we have been.
I'm mostly talking about the fact that any large mass in the solar system has been obliterated from the path of the planets, mostly tiny comets with inconsequential impacts are left. And secondly, a planet that big would alter the orbit well before the actual collision. And thirdly, what the hell is a planet doing outside our solar system (whose order has been established a long time ago) which suddenly happens to fall into the gravity of our sun from outer space?
And then any life on melancholia was snuffed out by earth!!!
So it’s a lose lose situation!
Is Melancholia even a planet on which life could exist?
Seldom Studios watch the movie, Kirsten duntz’ character has some kind of psychic connection to the universe that tells her that there’s no other life in the universe except earth, so after the big splat, that’s it, the universe is a huge, empty waste of space. Until life begins on another planet somewhere, given how ridiculously enormous the universe is and the near-eternity it would exist.

Now if I were Lars Von Trier, here’s how I would have ended the movie...
Melancholia missed planet Earth, & does not come back at all. BUT... there’s one last surprise. Earth’s orbit has been destabilized, & is doomed to become another rogue planet. That’s a more realistic way of doing it. The idea of any space object turning around & coming back for a 2nd strike is not only cartoony, but also sounds very familiar... Where did I seen that before... Oh, yes! the opening of Clayfighters: Tournament Edition. Where a giant purple meteorite passes by earth, then deliberately turns around & hits Earth.
Actually "When Worlds Collide" from the 1930s.
it's not too unrealistic, if it passes very closely by the first time, in a very narrow elliptical orbit just on the cusp of being hyperbolic, then gravity from the rest of the solar system nudges it on the way back
thats pretty much impossible becuase if a planet came to the solar sytem it would just goo around the sun
+Bryan Hix but it would most likely crash on Jupiter. Wait Jupiter is a gas planet soooooo yeah your right.
It all depends on the motion of the planet as it comes in. Depending on its velocity (speed and direction) a rogue planet could hit anything whatsoever in the solar system.
And here we are paying taxes with a credit score. Life shouldn't be this way.
Does this hurt the animals?
