When it comes to psychoanalysis, Freud may be a name that no one can avoid.
Bergman in the film is playing a psychiatrist, facing the mental patient played by Parker, using Freud's "dream analysis method" to analyze Parker's dreams.
And in the display of the dream, it should be the most classic passage in this film, absurd elements such as spinning eyes, a casino, a girl, a man with a beard, a man holding a wheel, etc. Like a surrealist picture, it is worth mentioning that this shot was designed by the surrealist painter Dali, which reminds people of the surrealist masterpiece "An Andalusian Dog" which also has eye elements. Surreal footage.
By analyzing the real meaning of dreams, to find the truth of the facts, and by looking back on childhood memories, to find out why Parker has a criminal mind, this is the greatest charm in this film.
