The film's dramatic emphasis on atmosphere and conscious lighting is intoxicating. Although the actors' restricted movement in the scene gives the film a strong stage feel, the constantly moving camera always highlights the Gehman's command of the film's tension and character development is...

The reference to the face is indescribable, what about the change of death and the sudden change of the skeleton on the slideshow screen? There is also the limited experience of the age. The shot before the mirror of the doctor and the magician in the attic is urgent and...

Winning the Silver Lion, the magic trick and the attic scaring the doctor are impressive. "The film is a tribute to stagecraft, lighting magic and mystical...

7/10. Bergman likens the art of cinema to deceptive and resonant magic, like the aphrodisiac peddled by old women exists to satisfy the audience's erotic desires, and the noble medical scientist/sheriff trying to pronounce the death sentence on illusory art , no doubt humiliating herself, first the sheriff's wife expressed her marital dissatisfaction under the resonance of hypnotism, and then dissected the corpse: the furniture moved, the living eye on the inkwell and the hands stuck in the...

In the face of modern science, there is no mystery at all—scientists who lack artistic cells are so outspoken in front of the mysterious, sad and painful "Magician" in "Silence". The fear of death and the inability to overcome it have made human beings so conceited to the point of ignorance. What Bergman exposes and satirizes in this work is the hypocrisy of human beings: rationalists can easily point out the falseness of the artistic truth of "light and shadow magic", but when the truth of...

Those who are seldom harmed by insults can have the skills and be needed by the king to retaliate and retreat. As in "Cut the Belly", is justice only achieved by heroic actions in fairy tales? /The doctor is too alive. It's like seeing real...

Three and a half stars. Slightly heavy on symbols and slightly less cinematic. The parables of Christ or saints are obvious ["The Pharisees and Sadducees came to tempt Jesus and asked him to show them a miracle from heaven ." (MATTHEW 16:1)], what magic (miracle) reflects is not reality, but rather the two attitudes of interpretation and perception in the face of the text; the former, as the domestication of reason, always tries to enter into it, The latter stays on the outside and regards it...

The Magician Comments
-
Johan Spegel: [Vogler has come across a sick man lying in the forest near the road] Good day, sir. My name is Johan Spegel. I am very ill, as you can see. Would you alleviate my suffering with a little brandy? For brandy is my infirmity, but its remedy too.
Johan Spegel: [Vogler gives the man some brandy, which seems to revive him] I am an actor. In fact, a member of the famous Stenbourg troupe. But my illness has put an end to my career.
Johan Spegel: [Vogler helps the man to his feet, whereupon Spegel takes a closer look at Vogler] Are you an actor too?
Johan Spegel: [Vogler mutely shakes his head "no"] Then why the disguise? Your beard is fake, and your eyebrows and hair are dyed. Are you a swindler who must conceal his true face?

Tubal: [the magician Vogler and his entourage have been detained at Consul Egerman's residence for an informal questioning before they will be allowed to perform their act in the town] All of you keep quiet. I'll do the talking.
Tubal: [goes and sits down by Granny Vogler] I must especially ask Granny to keep her trap shut. And another thing: Granny can make things jump around. Granny knows what I mean. Tables go flying, chairs fall over, lights go out. We all know Granny's tricks, but be good and behave... for all our sakes.
Granny Vogler: Yes, I understand... perhaps.
Tubal: God, this woman makes me nervous. Remember what you did in Ostend?
Granny Vogler: No, I don't believe I do.
Tubal: Granny's tricks are out of date. They're not amusing, and they can't be explained. Granny ought to be dead.
Granny Vogler: [chuckling] Ah, those were merry times in Ostend.
Tubal: I was thrown in the clink, Vogler was fined, and Granny was flogged in the town square. Yes, those were merry times in Ostend!
