Philosophers always think unremittingly about "death". In the face of death, human nature and emotions are often fully displayed. In this film, "death" appears in the image of the god of death, so that it is not a passive subject to be thought, he becomes an arbiter, a torturer, and coldly observes as a third party People's performance in a disaster. Anyone who knows the Black Death that traumatized Europe can imagine the horror of that catastrophe, where death became a part of everyday life, and God abandoned people at critical moments, people's beliefs were shaken, and hell was not. No matter how terrible it is, because the world is hell. The film is not an epic film to show that history, but a film with deep thinking. At the beginning of the film, the knight Brock faces the arbitration of the god of death, and the life and death of him and his followers depend on him and the god of death. chess. Playing chess with Reaper is indeed a very meaningful mood designed by Bergman for us in this film. Life is like a chess game, full of changes. In the first chess game between Brock and Reaper, he cheated and won. Grim Reaper. Death is a terrible figure, but at that moment, Brock's desire to survive was so strong that he dared to cheat with Death. In our life, we "cheating" from time to time. The game of chess in human society has its own rules, but there will always be people who cheat in order to "win". In survival, such "cheating" is even more reckless. A knight with noble sentiments dares to deceive the god of death for his own life, so what will all the living beings in the world worry about in order to survive in a disaster? In the face of a disaster, there will always be a crisis of morality. Although people often look for the light of humanity after the event, the "light source" that shines is always strong but rare, and it will always shine on future generations. People are more desperate to revel in a state of being drunk and drunk. In the film, we can see scenes of moral decline, and in disasters, desperate people carry out this ritual of self-mutilation and mutilation. There is a scene in the film that is quite shocking. When a group of people gathered to watch the clown performance, a pair of marching "ascetic"-like teams disrupted the happy atmosphere in the predicament, and the leader gave a doomsday-like speech combination. The pain and despair of the people in the team looked very tragic, and the scene of the end of the world made people palpitate. Before the disaster, people tend to lose their sobriety and calmness, and the light of reason is easily overshadowed by agitation at this time, so people seek sinners for the punishment from God. They either seek forgiveness through self-torture and punishment, or as in In that way, they seek sustenance by punishing "women who committed adultery with the devil", and the cruel sustenance method reveals people's despair. From a historical point of view, disasters will always pass. When many people are caught in the panic that God's final judgment is about to come, there are always people who live a difficult life with hope, waiting for the day when the clouds open and the sun rises. In the film, Jove and his wife Mia are such people, and their child Michelle has a beautiful symbolic meaning of life continuation and sustenance. Joff looks very humble and weak, but he has a trace of carefree optimism. He and his wife have no evil thoughts of the last days, nor heavy spiritual torture. Their hearts appear to be the purest and most calm. In the end, it was their family that survived. In the vision, Jove watched Death lead some people to dance. He and his wife and daughter led the carriage and continued their journey. Men, women, and children also seemed to be a complete The composition of human beings, this family continues their lives, and human beings also continue their unknown journey after the disaster. This Bergman classic is really full of thinking, how can people survive in a difficult and dangerous environment, how should people live, be an idealist, or a cynic; is to do evil in disasters Carnival is still sticking to one's own moral bottom line; it is an ordinary and safe life, or a painful pursuit of the road to redemption. Death looked at people's performance coldly, he arbitrated, he took away one person after another, but he couldn't take away all. The Joves are still happily on the road, continuing their lives, leaving a bright ending for this gloomy exploration film.
