    In fact, I despise him for being too preachy. One thing that has always been alien to me about religious films is that I have never been able to really immerse myself in that emotion and view various imagery and narratives from the perspective of the insider. But this is still great. Although there are too many symbols, and the positions and viewpoints held have long been popularized and recognized through various channels, it does not detract from the strength of this finished...

    The constant search can only make people slowly fall into endless confusion. Around faith and death, a Ukiyo-e about human nature is displayed. Ignorance and thinking have torn apart the whole world. In an ugly wasteland, it is only the most essential face of human beings: omniscience is ignorance. Death is like a shadow, and under the symbolic expression of ritual, it is a shudder of repression and chill, and it is Bergman's doubts and speculations about the whole...

    The linear double line is similar to the narrative structure of Chinese classical chapter novels. There are two flowers, each with a branch, but Bergman's one has six flowers. The first eighty chapters of Water Margin describe heroes from all walks of life, and the last forty chapters describe the rivers flowing into the sea. Structurally similar. The content is about thinking about the soul, philosophy, whether God exists, etc. Bergman is awesome! !...

    I want to shoot them but I'm afraid I won't have time to wait until I'm ready They've already gone and down the stairs The Virgin is gone The scene behind the thorns is over I play the ukulele and the wind can't catch the language of death that's been waiting for...

    In the early days, Bergman always inexplicably gave it a little bit of life at the end when he was almost torturing belief to death. This may explain the general [seventh seal] of heaven. The indecision at the end. Since the devil's woman can only see empty fear in her eyes, why did the film put a Christian narrative on it, and let Joseph and Mary give birth to the baby? Fortunately, this Holy Infant is undoubtedly the son of...

    Impressive. When the knight said those words on a spring afternoon, it was a rare moment of clarity in a Bergman film: I will remember this moment of ease, this sunset, this bowl of wild strawberries and milk, and your faces in the afterglow , The sleeping Mikay, the violin-playing Jove, I will try my best to remember what we said, holding this memory in my hands, as if I was carefully holding a bowl full of milk. Faith is self-evident and requires no circumstantial...

    "Love is just another way of saying sexual desire is just desire plus endless lies and deceit. Love is the worst plague. If you indulge in it, there may be joy but it's...

    Seeing the dance of death under the dark clouds gave me goosebumps instantly. I dare not say that I have understood all the questions about faith and religion, but it is not as obscure as I mistakenly thought before. The recoil is amazing, it is really the masterpiece of the...

    "What is she looking at. Angel God or Satan. Still nothing." "It can't be nothing. Look at her." "It's nothing. Nothing under the...

    The knight's confession to death was a bit like my darkest thoughts... I wanted to cry as he expressed that life's sparkle - even though he and I knew it was short-lived and betrayed of. Westworld heroine Deloris and the Joker's wife have the exact same look—the same off-the-shoulder dresses, the same hairstyle, and both blond hair—and I can't believe the Westworld director or writer hasn't seen the film. The knight's followers were too rational, but they couldn't escape the day when the god of...
