I just simply watch movies, whether to pass the time or watch a different world. I don't have a professional perspective, and I don't care about learning or understanding. I think deeply and explore the philosophy and so on, which is basically out of my reach. This movie, at just the right time, changed my mind about this form of presentation.
It turns out that something like art can really nurture people's hearts and even their souls.
I'm really fortunate to have encountered it at this time in my life, just when I got rid of some negative things and completely changed my position and prepared to go on the road. Fall at the feet of the master.
It just has a magical power, soft, broad, tolerant, quiet, neither humble nor arrogant. Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently. That's probably how it feels.
I haven't seen any of Bergman's other films, this is the first one, but it's so captivating enough to convince me.
It has a strong religious overtone. I'm not a Christian, and I don't know much about the doctrine, the New Testament and the Old Testament, but as the movie says, there must be a connection between the world and the world, and I may have just opened the world. door, just because of this movie.
It is said that this is the master's last film, and Bergman has always been entangled in the issue of fear of death. For him, no matter how to explore fear or detachment, he inevitably has an ordinary person about death and disappearance. The prudence is unattainable, so I think there must be an ultimate meaning for him to achieve or summarize or return in this movie. From this point of view, to appreciate Bergman, this film should not be missed. What's more, its impact is really not small.
In addition to reflecting various external changes, how far can contemporary films go beyond Bergman on the proposition of exploring and changing from the outside in?

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Ekdahlska huset - Helena Ekdahl: I loved being a mother. I loved having a big belly. I loved being an actress too, but I preferred being a mother.

  • Emilie Ekdahl - Ekdahlska huset: Your sister gave me sleeping pills for my insomnia. I put three of them in the broth. I did not intend for you to drink it. While you were checking on Elsa, I put three more in. Soon you will sleep very soundly, and when you wake up, I will be gone.
