Fanny and Alexander Comments

    The first time I saw Bergman, it was on the big screen again. I understood it and was shocked. Gorgeous, fantastic, paradoxical, ghostly, every frame is as beautiful as an oil painting, with vivid colors and high-definition pictures as if it were a 2002 movie. Open love, homosexuality, religious resistance, and patriarchal resistance run through the soul of the Nordic classic "Hamlet", Alexander, who always lived in the shadow of his late father and vicious bishop. The first half is very...

    10. The second 5-hour movie I watched happened to be on the Mid-Autumn Festival and watched from noon to evening. The film is like Bach's...

    Fanny's scene was cut. Bishop "Why do people lie?" Alexander "Because they don't want to tell the truth" Bishop "Why do people not want to tell the truth?" Alexander "People lie to highlight their own advantages". Helena [Anything is possible, everything can happen] [Time, space, do not exist] [Under the fragile framework of reality, imagination is like spinning threads, interwoven with new...

    The long night and the extreme day pass through the reincarnation of light and shadow in the deep red curtain and the flowing spring and waterfall, the five-hour magic, the soul and the dream, the candle night tour, the joyful brilliance and the bitter cold ordeal are woven into the velvet tapestry of the drama house. Shakespeare's plays, fairy tales, religion and philosophy are interspersed with many gorgeous notes in beautiful sonata stories. In the gap between sighs and sighs, the old...

    The Ekdahl family is rich, their sexual relations are open and chaotic, each small family has its own troubles, but overall they are happy and warm, maybe because their family is passionate and sensitive in art, or because they know Helena will be the last of the family Retreat is the backbone. The Vergerus family is full of Gothic style. The architectural style of their home makes me think of the American Gothic at first glance, rigid, dogmatic, and indifferent. The styles of the two different...

    The later Bergman is completely different from the early one...the style has changed a lot, but the same thing is that the religious theme remains the same. It is said that this is Bergman's version of A Dream of Red Mansions... Well, there is indeed something to draw from. The huge and complete structure, the multiple characters and the multiple plots that follow form a huge Ukiyo-e with delicate and gorgeous images. This is the curtain call for the director...

    Perhaps "Alexander and the Ghost" would be more appropriate. Fanny, who appears in the title of the film, is taken for granted as the protagonist, but she hardly plays any role, and the character is quite paradoxical. Everything else is perfect, the meticulous and precise scheduling, the use of highly symbolic colors, the existence of "instruments" such as doll houses, dolls, projectors, stages in the play, etc., can be regarded as Wes Anderson's great influence by Bergman. Powerful...

    Confused. The wealthy mind? Devil stepfather? Surreal? I never expected to be able to watch these more than 3 hours without falling...

    It's a Nordic version of Dream of Red Mansions. At first, I thought that Fanny's role was optional, but after reading the comments, I realized that it was two attitudes toward change - resistance and resignation. It was late on Friday night, and there was no public transportation. The evening breeze was breezy, and I walked home with the big goose for 20 minutes. Haven't walked like this in a long time, part of the movie...

    Bergman finally speaks to the shadows of childhood with the help of variations on the text of "Hamlet", and gives the "Father's Name" the final blow, although its curse is inscribed in his mid-to-late skeptical works. In "Fanny", Bergman tried his best to use his small theater aesthetics. The play-in-play mode of various media such as magic lanterns, miracle plays and even mummies all refer to the film itself and its relationship with life, and the status of classical omniscience Gradually...

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.
