      record the lines

      After watching it twice in a row, I really like the lines of this movie. It is full of philosophical discussions on the ultimate issues of life such as religion, belief, God, death, and fear.

      "Is it so difficult to feel the existence of God with the human senses? Why does he hide in vague foreshadowings and unseen miracles? When we lose faith, how do we believe in those believers? When we want to believe in God but Can't do it, what will happen to us? What...

      The question of God and death

      The questioning of God and death. "God is like a lover who hides in the dark. No matter how you call him, he will not come out." Several scenes are impressive. Dressing up as a bear and dancing, everyone slapped the table with wine glasses, and they laughed at each other. It was really terrifying, and the artistic expression was very strong. After the actor's tree was cut down, a little squirrel came out. It was really a stroke of genius. It was like "a butterfly resting on a bun", and the...

      Seventh Seal

      As Bergman's representative work, the film tells the story of the knight who was favored by the god of death after the Crusades. In order to fight, he played against the god of death along the way. Along the way, the knight met the blacksmith couple and the circus couple. Under the influence of him, he constantly questioned the existence of God and the meaning of belief. Finally, he gradually realized the nothingness of God. In the end, only the god of death greeted human...

      play chess with death

      Philosophers always think unremittingly about "death". In the face of death, human nature and emotions are often fully displayed. In this film, "death" appears in the image of the god of death, so that it is not a passive subject to be thought, he becomes an arbiter, a torturer, and coldly observes as a third party People's performance in a disaster. Anyone who knows the Black Death that traumatized Europe can imagine the horror of that catastrophe, where death became a part of...

      "We want to believe something, but why not?" You would honor our fear as God. Of course, fear is only for ourselves, and we clothe it with God or...

      In the face of death, what more do you want? ? There is a thin line between life and death, but thinking can still make people leap and extend. The present is the present. The 57-year movie is shocking, like touching a pair of big hands with flesh and...

      4.5 The distance between God and Death is filled with the Bible, the compromise of life and death has evolved into a fierce questioning and refutation of nihilistic beliefs, the one-way metaphor of bear's paw arsenic is expanding gradually, and the purpose of hallucination may be formalism 's footnote; as Death said, "No matter how many questions there are, there are no answers." Since pain is inevitable, the gorgeous scene of dancing with Death can't be regarded as an ode to the supremacy of...

      Most people think that there is neither death nor fantasy, but one day when you stand on the edge of life and death, that day, we have to build an idol against fear, and that idol we call...

      It is true that you should go to the Bible to supplement your theoretical knowledge, but this does not prevent you from watching the movie. The proposition of life and death has many revelations in the movie. The plague was the end of the medieval European continent, and now, the world is guessing and impetuous in the shadow of the end of 2012. It's time to think about this...

    Evaluation action

    "The Seventh Seal" looks like a movie about death, but after watching it a few more times, you will find that the film is not only about death, but more about faith. The director talked about beliefs from many aspects, such as Jove and Mia who have been throughout the film. Jove is a simple and lovely person. He loves life and insists on his beliefs. The image of Jove also reflects the director Yingge. Mar Bergman's inner real world....

    Movie quotes

    • Karin, Block's Wife: [reading from the Book of Revelation] And when the Lamb had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burnt up... and a third part of the trees was burnt up... and all the green grass was burnt up. And the second angel sounded his trumpet... and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And a third part of the sea became blood. And the third angel sounded his trumpet... and there fell a great star from heaven... burning as if it were a torch. And the name of the star is called Wormwood.

      [Death suddenly appears before them]

    • Jöns, squire: [singing] Between a strumpet's legs I lie, That's the place for such as I, The Lord is up above, you know, But Satan finds us here below.

    • Mia: Who did you see?

      Jof: The Virgin Mary.

      Mia: Did you really see her?

      Jof: She was so close I could have touched her. She wore a golden crown and a blue robe with golden flowers. She was barefoot, and in her little brown hands she was holding the Child and teaching Him to walk. When she saw me, she smiled. My eyes filled with tears, and when I wiped them away, she was gone. And there was a great stillness everywhere, in heaven and on earth. You understand?

      Mia: The things you imagine.

      Jof: You don't believe me, but it's true. It's not the reality you see, but another kind.
