      8.13 Watching Notes

      Even if you don’t understand Christianity, you have the opportunity to think about some questions 1. Priest work and secular work Pastor, who is the pastor if you have problems Do we need to respond? 7. Doubt is the biggest pain especially for a person who puts "the silence of the Lord" on his lips 8. The pastor is also an ordinary person. He also blows his nose in the movie once The worldly ugliness makes him frown The eyebrows can't get rid of their own body 9. Absolute perfection is a...

      The Light of Winter

      A little insight from Winter Light is that no matter the priest or the god, there is no way to convince others. The priest also endured the joys and sorrows in his own life, and God was also betrayed by his subordinates who had followed him for several years, and his body and mind had been nailed to the cross. He would also think, why me? But I am going to suffer in this world. Returning to the title of the film, Winter Light, most people seek God's guidance and blessing when they are...

      Winter light, can't illuminate

      CC Bergman suit, 8.1+, added to nearly 8.2 at the end.

      The doubts about belief and the existence of God are further amplified in the second part of the trilogy, and the church, as the main place of the plot, reflects the shaking of the foundation from the mentality.

      1. When the hymn was sung at the beginning, several pilgrims (including the organist) had a casual look of all beings, and directly asked the question, is the worship a mere formality, or is it really...

      But some people can't walk because their minds are too heavy

      Well, although the heretics and the uneducated Chinese have exploded the atomic bomb, we have made a solemn promise to the world that we will not use nuclear weapons first, nor will we use nuclear strikes against non-nuclear countries. Mr. Jonah may die a bit. … The ferryman gets lost by himself, and the leader gets lost by himself. But what can be done? The priest ended up continuing Mass in the empty church. Has his confusion been resolved? God knows. Bergman's father is a Lutheran pastor,...

      Roger Ebert on "Winter Light"

      The day Ingmar Bergman passed away, the first thing that came to my mind was his movie "Winter Light." It's weird because I haven't watched it since I taught film classes in the 70s. For the past week just now, I have felt the idea of ​​rewatching this movie lingering in my head. What do I remember about it? It's the second in Bergman's God's Silence trilogy, about the bewilderment of...

      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...

    Movie plot

    On a weekday in November in Sweden, it was exactly a few hours between the ceremonies of the two churches. The pulpit is the place where Pastor Thomas has worked his whole life. He is still standing here, presiding over the ceremony solemnly and indifferently. The suffocating indifference stems from the purgatory of his life: physical is a severe fever and cold, emotionally dying, everything is untrue in faith, and he has lost...

    The narrative process of "Nattvardsgästerna" is completely arranged in accordance with the final process of Jesus' life. Behind the concise text of the whole film there is a huge Christian discourse system as a cross-text for reference. The brief moment when Ernst Ingmar Bergman separated Jesus from God for a while, turned into a pastor Thomas, and enlarged it to the entire film. Ernst Ingmar Bergman was able to return to the starting...

    Movie quotes

    • Karin Persson: It started last spring. Jonas read about China in the papers. The article said the Chinese people were brought up on hate and that it's only a matter of time before China has atom bombs. They have nothing to lose. That's what they wrote. It doesn't worry me all that much. Maybe I'm just short on imagination. But Jonas can't stop thinking about it and so we discuss it constantly, though I can't help him much. Not with three kids and one on the way.

      Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: Right. Everyone feels this dread to some extent. We must trust God.

    • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: We live our simple daily lives and atrocities shatter the security of the world. It's so overwhelming and God seems so very remote.

      Karin Persson: That's right.

      Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: I feel so helpless. I don't know what to say.

    • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: I understand your anguish, but life must go on.

      Jonas Persson: Why do we have to go on living?
