    Hahaha has a very strong Shakespeare temperament! Sex, sleazy comedy and clever lines, clowns, infidelity slapstick, Hamlet-style knights, wise men. The whole film is full of laughter but extremely gloomy. The dead tree of the clown fell and a cute squirrel jumped up! Too much has been revealed about the game between the god of death and the knight (delay), the destination elsinore, etc. The most interesting is the depiction of the "witches", their very moaning sounds seem to suggest a close...

    Bergman is strong in taking into account the unity of story, image and philosophy. In addition, there is a special story like Yuan Zaju "Lao Zhuang Monday Pillow a Butterfly Dream" and later "Big Splitting the Coffin". I know that Yuan Zaju and Ming Legend are definitely a big treasure...

    When the knight is on the lawn watching the surrounding twilight and enjoying the taste of strawberry and milk, he feels that faith seems to be irrelevant. This is also my footnote to existentialism: heroes and sacredness have nothing to do with me, what really interests me is doing one person. In the end, the Death God Rondo paralleled the move towards rebirth, leaving room for this eternal interrogation. The strange beauty is close to Hesse's verse: "Our life will also be like a night in...

    "Why can't I kill the God in my heart?" // The context behind human interrogation of the devil and interrogation of God seems to be basically similar, both of which are related to the collapse of inner beliefs and the development of self-awareness // The positioning of the god of death has never been clever, he is not like a ghost It’s not like a god, it’s like a stakeholder. The third party is an old friend we will meet one day.//"Knowing yourself" is the inevitable mission and significance of...

    Therefore, death is not the god of death, the god of death wearing a hooded black robe and playing chess with a knight in the seventh seal. It is facing me,...

    8/10. The existential questioning was artistically made with a dark temperament. The knight witnessed the catastrophe of civilization, with rotten corpses lying on the rocks of the beach. With loyalty to God, he confessed to the god of death disguised as a priest (the Crusades, Burning witches all do things for the god of death in the name of god), the existence of god becomes nothingness, and the hands that play with the god of death are the only certainty of self-existence. Bergman attacked...

    Having experienced wars, met a more advanced Byzantine civilization, and witnessed the death brought about by the plague, the knight lost his life, doubted God, his belief was frustrated, and he sought verification from the god of death, which also doomed his final destiny. Faith is a simple thing and a happy thing. Only with faith can people live happily and...

    Bergman's most famous works are probably the easiest to understand and most easily recognized. The important works of the "Gospel of Synopsis" period, the tradition of movie theater, and the great formal experiment after [Mask] are far from the same. No matter how you look at it, it is a folklore drama. The servant played by Gunnar Björnstrand is so...
