desperate indifference

Red, harsh red, red with sharp points and thorns, as if to poked deep into your eyes; white, restrained white, skirts, petticoats, underwear, nightgowns, a near-depressed white spread in the bedroom In; black, death black, dry lips, terrified screams, the body is still in the world, but the soul has been dragged to hell. This shade made my eyes very uncomfortable and my brain instantly tense, I desperately tried to relax and take a deep breath, but couldn't help feeling sad and nervous. Three colors, each not in harmony with the other. Like these three sisters, Agnes is white, innocent, but also gloomy; Maria is red, warm, beautiful, seductive, and messy, she is as careless as the blood flowing from her body, spreading everywhere; Erin She is black, married early, and her relationship with her husband is tense like a string that breaks at the touch of a button. She is irritable, feisty, and competitive. When the maid sees her vulnerable side, she is always angry and angry, but she is the most indifferent. That one, she loves no one, not even herself. Nordic movies, like the weather there, are always piercingly cold. It is a kind of ruthless ridicule after a deep understanding of human nature. Just like "Hunting", "Cry and Whisper" also exposes human nature layer by layer. Man, what a fragile, sensitive, slender soul, when Agnes cried out in pain, I wanted to give her a knife. Why do people have to suffer so much? She is not loved by her mother, and she has a bad relationship with her sisters. When she died, she wanted to hold Irene's hand, but Irene refused because she did not want to be contaminated with the breath of her death, listen What she said: If I loved you, maybe I would, but I don't love you. Erin and Maria are not as Agnes imagined, wiping her body as she dies, kissing her forehead, and comforting her. Anna called over and over again, but she also understood that Irene didn't care about her sister, and Maria didn't care about her sister either. What is the meaning of us as human beings? Is it like the stubborn stone that fills the sky under the cliff of Qingfeng, just want to experience the gentle and rich township of the world and satisfy material desires? No, one should not be superficial at this point. We come to the world to feel the most sincere feelings, to cry, to heartbeat, to love, and to be happy. Instead of indifference, icy indifference, like an exaggerated and enlarged version of the general indifference in life.

    8.5 points or so. Shouts and whispers, outbursts and softness, seemed to separate Maria from the other two sisters. Is Bergman still partial to Uman so that's why? No, no, there is also a woman in the film - Anna, and Morrow said that Bergman's preference has always been the "Anna" in his play. The taciturn maid is the only redemption in the family's tragic memory, as if the director hoped to use it to mend his own. So after everything fell apart, we saw the most beautiful scene: three young and kind sisters playing on a swing in the woods under the sun, the smiling maid gently rocked them for them. At that moment time seemed to stand still, if at that moment time stopped...

    This picture is too beautiful, even Caravaggio in several places. Interestingly, similar structures such as "Sick-Healthy People", closed spaces, and character wrestling appeared in "Still in the Mirror" in 1961, "Silence" in 1963, and "Masquerade" in 1966. appeared again. The subject of discussion is still the loss of communication and discourse, and there are still inescapable "Bergmanian propositions"—love and alienation for mothers, hatred for brothers, and what he calls "emotional blackmail," and his Tirelessly questioning God. Even the "Agnes Resurrection" scene in the details comes from his ten-year-old experience of being locked up in a morgue. The real Bergman I like exists in these four women, "I don't trust anyone, I don't love anyone, and I don't miss anyone", harsh, indifferent, and Anna is his secret room. The open gap is absolutely gentle. Like two sides of a coin, firmly attached to each other. (I love him 555)

Cries & Whispers quotes

  • Karin: Anna. You hear that?

    Anna: I hear only the wind and the ticking of the clocks.

    Karin: No. It's something else.

    Anna: I don't hear anything else.

    Karin: I'm freezing. Good night.

  • Isak: Agnes, my dear child, listen to what I tell you now. Pray for those of us left behind on this dark and miserable earth beneath a cruel and empty sky. Lay your suffering at God's feet and plead with him to pardon us. Plead with him to free us of our anxiety, our weariness, and our deepest doubts. Plead with him to give meaning to our lives.
