      then silence

      Make up. The only Bergman in the Shanghai Film Festival who does not have to grab it.

      I pretended to be forced, and I almost cried after reading it. pierced through.

      lily? nonexistent. Just two sides. even three sides. I don't have a son... I don't understand the part of my son.

      You who are rational and arrogant in literature and art, and you who are naive, lazy and wandering with a cold eye.

      The rational part is that you understand education but don't want children....

      unwritten

      People are really willful creatures. Because of her fear and admiration for her sister East since she was a child, Anna imitated her sister since she was a child, but she felt that her sister looked down on her. Finally, in this unfamiliar town, where the language is difficult to understand, Anna, East, and John are like isolated creatures. In such an environment, and because of East's illness, Anna began to vent to her sister. She is dissatisfied, but every time she implements a revenge...

      Control and resistance between sisters!

      If the characters are a little more confused and the camera is a little more empty, Antonioni will also possess Bergman. Of course, it only has a trace of Antonioni's character temperament (the kind of contradiction and confusion on the sister's body, and the occasional emptiness). ), on the whole, it is still the original Bergman (the complex psychological and logical relationship between people). The perspective of the film is very objective, the content is full of metaphors, and a lot of...

      words in a foreign language

      Bergman's films seem to be like this: a simple narrative plot and structure, but with a variety of close-ups, just the right timing of dialogue, light and shadow, and the tension of the actors' performances, they have a powerful force. Although Silence also has such characteristics, its spiritual core is thinner than some of Bergman's other well-known works. It's hard to tell why, it may be that the theme is not very clear, or it may be that the more obvious themes are less...

      The final chapter of the God's Silence trilogy does not have a strong sense of personal resonance. The stuffy train carriage, the old hotel waiter who can't understand the language, the boy's toy pistol and the dwarf juggling troupe, the man and woman watching the sex in the movie theater, the euphoria sisters, the soul and the flesh from the inability to communicate to the disintegration. Bergman is true love for Bach (a glimpse of a newspaper ad in the lower left...

      Really porn... excess body and excess feeling, sensuality...

      lngrid Thurin, who plays her sister, started out alone in the room with a cigarette and drinking wine. She was cute and playful, and her leisurely state was so cool. So the subsequent masturbation actually made me think it was cool too... My sister had sex in front of my sister, causing my sister's collapse and my sister's masturbation to have a wonderful connection. This connection seems to explain the sister's extreme controlling desire, the sister's disgust, and finally the monologue that...

    In "Tystnaden", director Ernst Ingmar Bergman interpreted the "body" as the object of ultimate concern by interpreting the pair of symbolic characters Esther and Anna. "As the connotation of the sound of silence and the words of the great road.
    Sister East is dying and full of hatred; sister Anna is healthy and strong, brave and confident, they are the typical representatives of slave morality and master morality respectively. Here, the...

    Movie quotes

    • Ester: What have I done to deserve this?

      Anna: Nothing in particular. It's just that you always harp on your principles and drone on about how important everything is. But it's all just hot air. You know why? I'll tell you. Everything centers around your ego. You can't live without feeling superior. That's the truth. Everything has to be desperately important and meaningful... and goodness knows what.

      Ester: How else are we to live?

      Anna: I used to think you were right. I tried to be like you, because I admired you. I didn't realize you disliked me.

      Ester: That's not true.

      Anna: Oh, yes, it is. You always have. I just never realized it before.

      Ester: No.

      Anna: Yes. And in some way you're afraid of me

      Ester: I'm not afraid of you. I love you.

      Anna: You always talk a lot about love.

      Ester: You can't say...

      Anna: What can't I say? That Ester feels hatred? That's just a silly idea of mine, right? You hate me, just like you hate yourself. Me, and everything that's mine. You're full of hate.

      Ester: That's not true.

      Anna: With all your education and all the fancy books you've translated, can you answer me one thing? When Father died, you said, "I don't want to go on living." So, why are you still around? Is it for my sake? For Johan's? For your work, perhaps? Or for no reasoning particular?

      Ester: It's not like you say. I'm sure you've got it all wrong.

      Anna: Don't use that tone of voice! Get out! Leave me alone!

      Ester: Poor Anna!

      Anna: Why don't you shut up?

      Ester: [smiling and caressing Anna] Poor Anna!

      [leaves the room]

    • [first lines]

      Johan: [points to a sign] What does that mean?

      Ester: I don't know.

    • Anna: I went to the cinema and sat in a box at the back. A man and a woman made love right in front of me. When they were finished, they left. A man came in, someone I'd met at the bar. He sat down next to me and started stroking my thighs. Then we had intercourse on the floor. That's how my dress got dirty.

      Ester: Is that true?

      Anna: Why would I lie?

      Ester: Right. Why would you?

      Anna: It so happens that I was lying.

      Ester: It doesn't matter.

      Anna: I sat and watched that couple make love. Then I went to the bar and this man left with me. I didn't know where to go, so we went into a church. We had intercourse in a dark corner behind some pillars. It was cooler there.

      Ester: I see.

      Anna: This time I'll make sure I get my clothes off first.
