Bergman is a good director

I only watched two Ingmar Bergman films, the first "Shouting and Whispering", the second, has decided to seal his name as a guarantee to watch.

Although if his films are all such "writer's films", they will be the same. Slow paced and simple plot. Both films are about a wealthy intellectual. At home, there are elements of death, selfishness and indifference, gorgeousness, neuroticism, etc.

Fanny and Alexander are the names of little brothers and sisters. They see the world of adults through their eyes. It is clearly an ethical film, with a strange color, and with mysterious Power is the completion of a plot.

The plot is simple, and the writer, director and screenwriter make the three-hour movie full of tension and in one go. The slow rhythm does not show any procrastination. It is full of metaphors, making watching a kind of The process of exploration.

Well, I have never been very picky about the form of expression. However, the choice of background music, coordination and rendering of emotional scenes has infected even a layman like me. The layout of the picture and the composition of the photography are exquisite and gorgeous. Pay attention.

    One of Bergman's most "good-looking" films, an approachable masterwork, without the slightest bit of obscurity. The film is beautifully produced, with excellent photography and art direction, and a graceful and luxurious temperament always accompanies it

    "Anything can happen, everything is possible. Time and space don't exist, and on a meaningless background, imagination is weaving new patterns." The interweaving of reality and dream is part of life, and we have to learn to accept it and perceive it all. The door in the film is the boundary of each world. With the opening and closing of the door, the boundary never seems to exist, and the intercommunication of the world can make us not narrow. I really love the color collision of Bergman's blockbuster red and white.
