      You and I are both Monica

      Slowly narrating, I have to say that black and white movies have not been able to cover up the summer hormones. Love comes as soon as you say it, if you like it, you go directly, and if someone disagrees, you run away. No more work, no more old lovers, no more family. What you want is freedom, reality comes, kids and money. Money is definitely a problem, but this child comes as soon as he says it, and Monica has not grown from a little girl to an adult, but Harry has grown up quickly. In the...

      You and Me in Bergman's Lens

      2018 Beijing Film Festival 1st

      Xiaoxitian Bergman bad girl Monica

      .

      It was my first time watching a Bergman movie and I really liked it.

      It's true, it's ironic, it's touching. Tears in laughter.

      You think what he describes is the most real, naked life, and the hero and heroine in the movie may be you and me.

      .

      The initial beauty, romance, and fantasy are slowly, inevitably, torn to shreds by reality.

      However, in the end, you have experienced...

      Monica says: No!

      When Monica and Harry leaned over the stone and said, I want to spend the summer like this, the camera cuts to the fire in the wasteland, which has begun to suggest that the relationship between Monica and Harry is also burning out. It was a fierce and unsustainable passion. The two of them went through fire and water when they met, and what was left was ashes.

      Monica's family hints: She is a woman in need of love and protection. The two screams were a cue for Monica to leave. Once,...

      Character determines that Monica is destined to be a tragic figure

      I feel the same way, there are too many examples of this around me. Boys and girls who go out to work in their teens. In the boring work environment day after day, two lonely hearts walk together. They all grew up in a poor family, with a grumpy mother, an incompetent and poor father, and a never-ending quarrel. They are combined, and after the novelty is over, they quarrel over trivial life, while wanting to live freely and without financial ability. Live the life of an adult too early, but...

      You and I have Monica

      Don't think love can save suffering, never ever. You think laughing at vulgar people at work on the island of paradise, but human beings are beasts without food. Such a pure and youthful monica, like a primitive human desire body, you can't help accusing her and despising her, but you can't hate her, because everyone has such a her. You feel uncomfortable after watching it because you really want to lose her.

      Bergma's shots, even in black and white, are as precise and beautiful as they...

      Adhere to the ability to save, and one shot can solve the fine style of being resolute and not chaotic; the lust of female characters cannot be properly released in the male-dominated society (Hollywood romance films), and even looks a bit demonized; compared to the passion in reality The director, the male is a positive image without lust; the film's exploration of women is respectful, afraid, and wants to go deeper, at least expanding the sexual interest of the opposite sex into interest; BFI...

      The opening is very romantic, the ending is very sad, the heroine is romantic, the hero is realism, the communication between the two is only a momentary spark, Bergman's lens is delicate, plain and real, but when reality defeats love, you In the end, I had to sigh and sigh, all beautiful fantasies are the victims of life. PS: "Blue Valentine" is probably influenced by this movie, it feels like...

      Bergman's passion for love and doubts about marriage can still be seen in this film. Once together, not together, it's all feelings. The place where Monica looked back and stared at the camera really made me...

      The tragedy of love is mostly because there is only one romantic and affectionate person in it. But Monica turned her head and stared at me, which made me forgive her infidelity and understand her unwillingness. She is romantic and...

    Movie quotes

    • Harry Lund: You see - I've always been so lonely. My mother got sick when I was five. She was sick until she died. I was eight by then. Dad went a bit funny after that. He got all quiet. He and I would sit at home all evening, neither saying a word. We'd just sit there.

      Monika Eriksson: I've never been alone. There's so many of us. The brats fight and wreck everything. Dad's always drunk and kicking up a fuss.

    • Monika Eriksson: Harry, why do some people have all the luck while others are miserable?

      Harry Lund: Monika, we have each other.

    • Harry Lund: It's been a lovely summer, but everything changes starting today.

      Monika Eriksson: Imagine being back in town. We haven't been to the movies since we saw "Dream Girl."

      Harry Lund: No, we've been in our own dream.
