Wild strawberries that shouldn't be discussed too much

After watching it, the general feeling is that of an old man who is looking for the missing love and repenting of the past. This is an extremely personal film, and it should not even be discussed too much by people. I feel that Bergman made it for himself. The influence of his repressed childhood and his views on marriage are shown through the video, which is a dialogue between Bergman himself and himself.

Anyone who has watched "The Magic Lamp" knows what Bergman's childhood, family, and marriage were like. These themes can be seen in many of his films. Because a director like him who has always written scripts by himself, can Turn the "pain and doubt" in life into a script. Image, I write my heart, and my heart shoots my film.

"Wild Strawberry" was actually made very simple, without too much trickery through dreams, and without catering to the audience. This film is Bergman's response to his inner self.

Why is Isaac so indifferent? What effect did his apathy have on his family? What kind of impact will it have on his family? Isaac is the son of a father and an elderly mother, and the roots of this trauma extend from the previous generation or the previous generation, from childhood to adulthood, from family to marriage, and then to the family of the next generation. And all of this is a real projection of Bergman's real life, and it is also a problem that has plagued his life.

Wild Strawberries quotes

  • Dr. Evald Borg: It's absurd to bring children into this world and think they'll be better off than we were.

    Marianne Borg: That's just an excuse.

    Dr. Evald Borg: Call it what you want. I was an unwanted child in a hellish marriage.

  • Marianne Borg: You're a coward.

    Dr. Evald Borg: Yes. This life sickens me. I will not be forced to take on a responsibility that will make me live for one day longer than I want to. And you know that I mean what I say.
