A little bit

There is no god here, only death.

Perhaps in Bergman's world, Death is God in another sense: the God of Doomsday.

The seventh seal, only God Himself is qualified to open.

The film "Only the Lamb is Worthy to Open the Scroll"



is rich in metaphors and symbols. Except for the protagonist and the squires, the others did not play for a long time, but their personalities were also very distinct. The actor's performance is remarkable, and every detail is impeccable.

FF found that when everyone died in the film, the god of death was beside him, even the burned witch was no exception. Only the seminary student who died of the plague did not have the god of death by his side.

In fact, I think the meaning of this is obvious: everyone in the film, even if they are knights who doubt the existence of God or witches who believe that the devil is around them, or stupid blacksmiths, lascivious prostitutes, and cunning actors, even if they are There are so many evils, but they are still essentially a human being, a mixture of animal and divine. They are divine, and God has not abandoned them.

And there is no God in the seminary, only emptiness.

While the knight is playing chess with Death, the actor's family escapes quietly.

Although their names are Joseph and Maria.

But after the wrath of the thunder of the sky, they still survived.

After all, people are people, humble, insignificant, and wretched.

If you don't believe in God, you still have to return to the end of belief. The spiritual process of human beings is sometimes so fatally sad, sometimes even ridiculously sad.
