in spite of technical problems, I decided to continue the lesson on Dancer in the Dark.
Here are the extracts that we "watched" and what we said about them:
Selma has decided to pay the doctor in the afternoon, that's why she can’t wait until the end of the month to get her money back. She has recently been fired from her job, that's why she can't save up more money. She is afraid of Bill's reaction, that's why she decides not to count the money. She is blind and it would take her too much time, that's why she decides not to count money.
At the beginning of the scene, according to Selma, Bill doesn't intend to shoot because he is a good friend. He shouts in order to alert his wife and so as to scare Selma. He is lying about Selma to his wife in order not to give the money back and so as to pass for the victim.
