    We play hate and love, fear and compromise, confession and lies, death and curse behind different masks, but we don't play hypocrisy. We enjoy happiness, but not just for the sake of it, it's our life, it's this little world. Never be afraid,...

    The style of Bergman in the later period has changed a lot. However, the religious theme that can't be separated for a lifetime has not...

    After watching the TV version for more than five minutes for a whole day, every artist cannot escape the ambition to create an epic. A mother and three sons, the legend of the old chair, Hamlet, the magic psychic brothers, the extreme day banquet. "Dear, have you really thought about suicide?" "Every time I look at you, stupid woman." While Bergman has been expressing childhood shadows and denying religion, the presumption here is always 'there is God'...

    Maybe what I just finished watching was a snowy day, and I was still indulging in that gentle and intimate atmosphere for a long time after the end, like a dream in winter. 'No form of art can penetrate everyday consciousness like images, speak directly to emotions, and enter the hazy depths of the soul' - Bergman really...

    "Fanny and the Stress", like "Cries and Whispers", is a movie about the life of high society people living in castles, rich and pale, happy and miserable. It's just that "Fanny and Alexander" went through a purgatory and torture, and then learned that life is not easy. The film also slammed the ugly side of the glossy back guard Taoist...

    Favorite one Bergman, classical epic. Don't miss out on every frame. Ready to continue watching the five-hour version. The lines are very eloquent. For example, on a stormy night, the mother said to her son: "Don't think of yourself as Hamlet. I am not Queen Gertrude, and your stepfather is not the king of Denmark. Although it is dark and gloomy, it is not the castle of Elsinore....

    The borderless world of Ingmar Bergman. I have to admit that I thought it was purely a story about a rich family at first, and then I thought it was ridiculous about ghost-mind-magic stuff. One thing the movie tells us is that there are many worlds outside and within this world, and we have to play roles of one kind or another. Although the movie is mixed with some exaggerated things, the flaws do not hide the flaws. My favorite episode is the grandmother's...

    In the end, one after another, the little Oscars still grew up. The grown-up Oscar hates another little Oscar. And this little Oscar, it could be Alexander, it could be Fanny—of course, it could be me and you. (As always, Bergman style, tension and repression, sudden explosion and joy, confrontation between religion and human nature, - always, his films have a lot of...

    The king of drama is dead, the drama of the king is...

    Bergman's empty mirrors and colors are the most practical and dreamy I have ever seen. Like the complex but unified core of each character, the characters deal with awkward social details very well, which can be described as brave. Bergman is best at shooting techniques such as metaphors, symbols, contrasts, and blank spaces. It is as sticky as the poetry of the hazy school. The aphasia and dementia of modern people seem to be unworthy of this film. It's just that the man who gave the speech at...

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Ekdahlska huset - Helena Ekdahl: I loved being a mother. I loved having a big belly. I loved being an actress too, but I preferred being a mother.

  • Emilie Ekdahl - Ekdahlska huset: Your sister gave me sleeping pills for my insomnia. I put three of them in the broth. I did not intend for you to drink it. While you were checking on Elsa, I put three more in. Soon you will sleep very soundly, and when you wake up, I will be gone.
