    Bergman's film notes "Still in the Mirror": I would rather you be cold to the end

    1. Are Bergman's movies entertainment? I said yes.

    These movies have successfully achieved a kind of spiritual pleasure for me, and my thoughts are rippling. It can be called a mental touch, which is similar to a very strong sexual experience, not to mention that the one you met is still a master...

    god is a spider

    I have to choose between him (the invisible God) and you. Staring at the crack in the wall, the vast sea was reflected in the opposite window. Time seemed to stand still here, Catherine seemed to feel something, and then she fell to her knees and stroked herself, or received God's caress....

    According to the classification of Christian friends who are engaged in the film, this is a "God has come" work. Specifically, ten minutes later, the writer's father cried in the kitchen and took the posture of a cross, and then the mad daughter waited for God, the sister and brother seemed to be baptized in the rain, and finally the father and son talked about redemption and many other details can be confirmed. . For non-religious audiences, Bergman is actually discussing the relationship between “creation and emotion”, that is, should the artist take sick family or relatives as experimental objects to watch creations. In fact, I was deeply worried about this set of contradictions. As a young creator, I have not been able to write a profound script because of my lack of experience, and adversity is the best breeding ground for screenwriters. Adversity and adversity, and "the more difficult it is, the more interesting it is", so that life becomes a superior material, and it is an extraordinary epic to ordinary people. Precisely because the father in the film is a writer who uses his family as observation material, it is not difficult to understand why he would forgive his children for their overstepping behavior.

    The director outside the camera is the novelist and father in the camera, observing and recording the collapse of a woman. Everyone lives in their own world and resists the connection with outsiders (AT Field in EVA), even the close relatives are no exception, so they long for a god to lead them through the pain and darkness of connecting with others. Both the father and the neurotic daughter are projections of Bergman’s spiritual world. Whether he is cured or not, he is trying to reconcile himself

Through a Glass Darkly quotes

  • Karin: Funny, you always say and do the very right thing... and it's always wrong.

  • David: We draw a magic circle and shut out everything that doesn't agree with our secret games. Each time life breaks the circle, the games turn grey and ridiculous. Then we draw a new circle and build a new defense.

    Karin: Poor little daddy.

    David: Yes, poor little daddy, forced to live in reality.
