The projectors at the beginning and end show that the whole work is in a dream state. In the first five minutes, it is the release of the dream to Elizabeth's "I", then, from the phallus (sexual instinct), the god of death and man (presented in silent film), spiders, slaughtered sheep, nailed hands, The meaning of dreams and pain, from the subconscious level to open the human instinct, or the nature of Elizabeth as a woman! Five minutes later, the movie came to the part of the dream that reflected the reality, the old and serene face, the awake child, the blurred female face that the child touched (Elizabeth), the curiosity and isolation of the child, the indifference and alienation of women (with the movie The second half corresponds to the analysis of Elizabeth's self), the faces of women and children are constantly switched through the real world recorded in the video. This estrangement stems from the horror of the real world on the one hand, and women's fear of children on the other hand. An intuitive representation of Elizabeth's anxious face (as can be seen from Elizabeth's anxious face), this emotional divide is a subconscious instinct of women between motherhood and self, inclined towards the latter, which begins to be dissected in the second half of the film. Then, after more than seven minutes of the movie, I came to the real world in the movie, that is, the dream world, that is, the battlefield of "consciousness". There are two protagonists in the real world, Elizabeth (actor) and Alma (nurse). The characters exist, but in my understanding, they represent Elizabeth's "subconsciousness" and "consciousness" respectively. These two women use the two women as carriers, through their contradictions (identity opposition), estrangement (two kinds of consciousness anthropomorphic) "Spirit and thought" constitute different), intimacy (needing each other, not only reflecting a mutual need and understanding of the real female relationship, but also a relationship between the subconscious and consciousness at the level of human spiritual composition), split (two different consciousnesses) self-interpretation, the exchange of roles and identities between Alma and Elizabeth, the questioning of Elizabeth's inner desires by Alma, etc.), oneness (the collision between the subconscious and the conscious becomes the "subconscious", that is, Alma and Elizabeth in the movie of multiple mind fusions), with this, Bergman completed a female self-analysis. The subject of the analysis is a real female group or a female individual (who is she? It can be a metaphor for women, but it is more a metaphor for Elizabeth as the subconscious carrier in reality projection), and it is aimed at "Elizabeth" in reality. " Such women suffer from the inner repression of the pain in the real world, the selfish instinct between motherhood and self tends to the latter, and even from the subconscious level of human beings, there is a murderous desire of motherhood for the relationship between flesh and blood, and she (female) is strong. desire for self-preservation, etc. In the process of analysis, Bergman aimed the influence on the most real instincts of the female subconscious level, and used Alma, the "consciousness" carrier, to pair up with the "subconsciousness" carrier of Elizabeth. In the real world, the two kinds of consciousness merged , the boundary of entry "subconsciously" blurs the sexual desire and freedom of moral instinct, not only that, but Alma also completed the "consciousness" trial of Elizabeth's "subconsciousness" in the dream! This is the inner battlefield of women in the subconscious world. The id, ego, and superego actually appear alternately in their respective roles, so that this lie in the "female" world and the absurd projection of the female world in the real world of lies become the expression of the film. Two parallel levels: the world of women's lies, and the world of real lies! Two worlds of absurdity and hypocrisy! In fact, I haven’t written a long film review for a long time recently, and I rarely write a film review in the form of narrative. Many narratives give various expressions to the film from the level of image details. Bergman just completed his thoughts on the basis of Freud’s theory. Express! The subject of the film is always female, but it does not prevent it from changing gender and analyzing the male world in another form. There are always more truths, fears and contradictions in dreams. This is the truth of our self-knowledge! The world of women's lies, and the world of real lies! Two absurd and hypocritical worlds!
