Dance with death! Game with death!

A good black and white, mythical and allegorical movie.
Without reading the Bible, I can only judge intuitively.
Death is everywhere, like a shadow. Think about it, from birth, people have embarked on a path of no return. No one can resist. It's just a question of expiry date. This is a young sad song! Our knight replied: The body is ready to sail, but the heart...heart is still attached. Therefore, he optimistically found a way to deal with the god of death, and played with him to his liking. Everyone imagined that the ending was unexpected, but in fact the defeat was also expected.
The knight's entourage asked the skeleton for the way, where is the way of the living? This is black humor! In order to get rid of the god of death, ordinary people, under the fool of religion, held high the cross, whipped each other, and washed away their original sins. The sad-faced knight in the Middle Ages, during the defeat of the Crusades, was plagued by plagues, and persistently pondered the meaning of life, which had no answer. The cruelty of medieval religion is shown in the section on burning young wizards. The wizard was accused of being the devil Satan, but in fact she adopted many orphans. In the last supper, the knight
meets his first love, three couples, and it is difficult for them to go to France together. The knight's lover read the story chapter about the seventh seal in the bible, and the god of death surfaced. End of story. The family of three in the acrobatic troupe sneaked away and escaped the catastrophe. The next day, the sun came out. This family may have no original sin, ordinary people living with heart.
The creation of the god of death was very successful, and no one has ever seen it, and everyone who has seen it has died. But it's unheard of for Reaper to like to play chess, and the director's conception makes for the film's dark humor.

    Rewatch. It turned out that the film earlier than "Wild Strawberry". In the same year, Bergman actually shot two great works. The styles appear to be very different, but they are actually the same. I was still surprised by the abruptness of "Wild" breaking out of the shell. It turns out that a lot of exploration and accumulation have been done in this film. Brock actually hoped to defeat the god of death in the game, and he dared to do things under the opponent's eyes again and again; at the same time, he questioned boldly, questioning the existence of the only creator. In this long game of life and death, through Brock's eyes, we have witnessed all kinds of evil deeds after the release of the seal. How can the original sin of desire be sealed, and the god of death does not hesitate to make a cameo as the god of wine to lead the dance and enlighten wisdom. Oh god.

    Bergman's painful refraction. But the so-called bitter, always because there is sweet to contrast
