The question of God and death

Webster 2022-04-23 07:01:41

The questioning of God and death. "God is like a lover who hides in the dark. No matter how you call him, he will not come out." Several scenes are impressive. Dressing up as a bear and dancing, everyone slapped the table with wine glasses, and they laughed at each other. It was really terrifying, and the artistic expression was very strong. After the actor's tree was cut down, a little squirrel came out. It was really a stroke of genius. It was like "a butterfly resting on a bun", and the beauty and solemnity of life were combined. In the last scene, the god of death pulls everyone to dance, "dancing". This event is really full of energy and vitality, like a kind of extreme life, and the god of death pushes our lives to the extreme. We all dance in the shadow of death. I will remember those peaceful evenings.

    Feeling the confusion and troubles in Bergman's thought at that time, the most admirable thing is the strong vitality and willpower revealed in this film, which is the soul of a great artist

    Today's movies have long stopped focusing on the silence of God, and only concerned with the hustle and bustle of human beings. In this ironic age, Bergman is still questioning the existence of God, and the sharpness of "The Seventh Seal" is its strength. It's an uncompromising film that treats good and evil with the same simplicity, and sees Faith as its only hero.

  • Jöns: Do you have any brandy? I've had nothing but water. It's made me as thirsty as a camel in the desert.

  • Jöns: Our crusade was such madness that only a real idealist could have thought it up.
