      Lend me a pair of eyes

      I went to see this movie for Ingmar Bergman's name, I know it's an Oscar for best foreign language film, and without ever seeing a Bergman movie, it seems to be in addition to the fame of the master In addition to another quality assurance.
      The three-hour movie took me several times to finish watching it. To be honest, I wasn't fascinated at all. It can even be said that the content of the movie did not attract me as much as I imagined. I dare not say that I understand the film, maybe not...

      The story Isaac read

      When watching a movie, copy it down, and then copy it up, so that it is convenient to record and understand for yourself.


         A young man and a group of his companions were walking on an endless road leading to a barren, rock-strewn plain. The poisonous fire of the sun scorched from morning till night, and they could not find a place of shade everywhere, and the shrill wind swept up a huge mist of dust.


         The young man looked a little impatient and walked ahead;...

      nice to meet you

      I just simply watch movies, whether to pass the time or watch a different world. I don't have a professional perspective, and I don't care about learning or understanding. I think deeply and explore the philosophy and so on, which is basically out of my reach. This movie, at just the right time, changed my mind about this form of presentation.
      It turns out that something like art can really nurture people's hearts and even their souls.
      I'm really fortunate to have encountered it at...

      I saw it two or three years ago. It was very long, and I always couldn't get into the play. I saw children jumping around between the splendid piles of mansions. It seems to be too literary, and finally abandoned the drama. I saw a bunch of short reviews saying that I didn't understand it, but I couldn't get through it and couldn't watch it, and another bunch said that it wasn't long enough and didn't show its subtlety. I knew in private that this must be an excellent running water and...

      After watching the 312-minute director's version, I can't stand myself anymore... [Childish short comment and self-deprecating | 2018 Film Festival @Studio Rewatch, no more black hall No. 2, bright, gorgeous and beautiful Exploding, the corresponding elements in countless Bergman autobiographies, the old uncle who will never grow up, childish, unwilling to be restrained, imaginative, terrifying hallucinations, and undisguised...

      Think about the fact that the long family banquet at the beginning, the play of children, the theater on the adult stage and the prostitution in the room, all have a strong contrast with the religious abstinence space and the breath of death in the second hour, so this film is more like a Show some kind of opposing image. When Alexander carried the idea of ​​confrontation between the two cities and came to the mysterious labyrinth in the third hour, it was another realm. He needed to think...

      Bright Bergman. The mistake is that I didn't expect to find the director's cut version online temporarily, so I watched the 188-minute theatrical version. The first time I saw his work, I felt relaxed and happy. Swedish version of Grimm's Fairy Tales + Hamlet. Some small details can be interpreted in multiple ways. In my case, think about it...

      There is a 218MM version on XUNLEI - have you heard that this film has a version of this length? A lot of drool The plot has not been cut, and the key plot seems to be missing, which makes me suspect that the 5-hour version is missing the middle section, which makes this "best looking BERGMAN" shattered and horrific and makes me completely lose my confidence in Master Ying. Congratulations, you are the first The director who gave me all 1 star is amazing...

Whether it is the theater where the film first appeared or the entire Ikoda family, women are an important group in the film. However, whether it is a deformed...
