    The struggle between the soul and the flesh, the attempt to communicate in one day brings eternal pain, and people maintain everything in the name of...

    God is silent, people are begging, and He has no answer, is it a bashing or a reflection - either way, it's a...

    The absence of faith is the absence of love. The "Silence of God" discussed in this film is essentially the loss of love for the characters in the film, which fundamentally shakes the attachment to faith. In a way, this is a confusion shared by everyone, even the followers of God. The lighting of the composition is very impactful, and the long talk that looks directly at the camera has the power to penetrate the...

    Bergman's films are not films that ordinary people can see on a daily basis. He may no longer regard film as art or work, he may have regarded film as his religion. Compared with "Still in the Mirror", there is already a sense of powerlessness for the piety of Christ. It is said that the power of religion in the trilogy is getting smaller and smaller, and the power of love is getting bigger and bigger. I look forward to...

    Finally watched Bergman's film, and it was unexpected that this film would get his father's...

    Without the faith to rely on, no matter how well-organized religious ceremonies are, they can only be reduced to...

    I really like this chapel under Bergman's lens. A church member committed suicide after reading the news in the newspaper that it was only a matter of time before China built the atomic bomb - an interesting...

    At the 43rd minute, the pastor told the fisherman his inner doubts: Without God, life would become easier to understand, death and separation of spirit and flesh would cease, cruelty, loneliness and fear would become direct and transparent, and suffering would become unreasonable . Then the winter light shone through the window, so bright, and the pastor looked back and wondered again why God had abandoned him—a moment I wanted to take as proof that God was still there with a false shot. At the...

    Interpersonal understanding is impossible, and one-way talk to God is meaningless. What is the meaning of communication? If you love people, you will get abandonment. If you love God, you will only get silence. What is the meaning of love? Where to find the light of...

    The most moving religious movie I've seen so far. Compared with "The Virgin Spring", the emotional expression here is more real and rich. Worldly love and religious love, a woman who cannot love, a priest who cannot read God. Large sections are monologues, trivial chatter, sun, snow, and death. The bell rang, and Marta, the least devout believer, turned out to be the only one in the...

    Winter Light: Bergman's Inner Monologue

    (Written on 2010-11-10)

    Most of Bergman’s films are like a deadly silent and fringe world full of obscurity and depression, making people hard to reach and embarrassed, but the profound thoughts and unmatched wisdom embodied in them, People have to be obsessed and impressed by it. This unique...

    When faith is lost

    The fate with Inge Bergman should be from the university, the film history and audio-visual language teachers pushed the works of Master Bergman, even the examination also used his creative life as the test questions. When I saw Wild Strawberry for the first time, I was completely fascinated by the...

Winter Light quotes

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: If there is no God, would it really make any difference? Life would become understandable. And this death would be a snuffing out of life. The dissolution of body and soul. Cruelty, loneliness and fear - all these things would be straightforward and transparent. Suffering is incomprehensible, so it needs no explanation.

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: There is no creator. No sustainer of life. No design.
