    Unexpectedly, Bergman's first screenwriting work turned out to be in such a style, and I believe it is Hitchcock. The light and shade on the faces of the characters, the shadows on the walls, and the design of turning off and on the lights in several places all sing about the possibility of black and white movies in lighting and...

    Bergman's first screenplay, written at the age of 24, premiered on October 2, 1944, and "Torment" was also translated as "Frenzy." The film is expressionist and tells the story of a man and a woman of forbidden love and disappointed hate. It caused an uproar in the film industry, as well as media criticism of the education...

    The magical effect of oblique side light, large area and deep shadow, a little bit of expressionism and Hispanic suspense. Harsh and strict tutoring and rigid school education have ushered in a bright and optimistic ending, which is extremely awkward, and Bergman's script has been tampered...

    Oh ho ho, it turns out that the school was like this decades ago, and it turns out that the school in Sweden is also like this. The system is suppressed by mean teachers, and the teachers (authority) believe in the parents who "make mistakes" and bring pain to their children instead of sympathizing with their children. The following example explains: The little boy who was late for prayer was chased by the teacher, and he was suspected of not reciting a formulaic textbook that was incomplete...

    Mai Zetterling is the Swedish version of Emily Blunt. It is rare for such an old Swedish film to discuss the repressed dark teacher-student relationship VS the relationship between men and women, and the shooting technique (ghost shadow) conveying that "Master Yan is the invisible devil" is quite...

    Haha, is this a spoof from that era? Kind of messy. School is very depressing, very real. Grassroots educators of abusive&sick. Bertar's room is so creepy....

    Originally named "Frenzy", written by Bergman in 1944, due to the inner pain caused by the outside world, it cannot be redeemed. The male protagonist is really miserable, and his appearance is very high...
