The inner annihilation of female emotions!

People's faces can undoubtedly achieve the most profound portrayal and expression of people's hearts! However, the deepest expression of faces to people's hearts requires the director and actors to reach a supreme level of ability. There is no doubt that the director and actors in this work have achieved it. In Bergman's films, pain seems to be inherent in human beings, alienation is the same, fear is even more so, so what about people's hypocrisy, indifference, lies and estrangement? This work presents their real relationship and each self through the faces of four women, and explores all kinds of selfishness and lies in women's inner level. The unconscious level of faces and behaviors express this contradiction. They are full of the world. Doubt, but also full of great inner pain, the world in their eyes is full of hypocrisy and lies, they are victimized and become part of the world of hypocrisy and lies in their eyes, their fragility is hidden under hypocrisy, so that the hearts and minds of inner and outer self are not Yi Ye was gradually assimilated into a kind of mask by reality, sticking to their fragile faces and becoming a disguise for self-protection, making them indifferent to everything outside of themselves. This indifference stems from their deepest fears, the most complicated Desire, and the fragile self under the mask. When they gradually changed from being a person to a mask from the influence of the real relationship, their unconscious survival behavior has declared their own death sentence, and also declared their goodbye to the world! The cruelest thing about Bergman is that while he is constantly amplifying people's inner fears, he is also constantly amplifying people's selfishness and hypocrisy. Faces are reflected in images, and a kind of division and destruction inside and outside people is also completed silently. It is the annihilation of a subject's personality! Actors are very powerful because of the unconscious performance that always flows in the film. Under the control and expression of the actors, this kind of performance easily completes the subtle and complex psychological gradual change, and constantly releases the deep inner activities of each character. Borgman's threading, a complex female group portrait is plump and indifferent to the screen, this kind of subtlety and complexity, only Borgman's actors can achieve so easily and accurately! Outside of the movie, I am curious about Bergman's actors, I think it's eternal, to me they are even more mysterious, only in Bergman's films, the actors' performances are so easy And it really touches a certain ceiling of human spiritual/psychological performance. Their performances are so deep for me, or by my standards, that every time I watch them, I expand my understanding and perception of the depth of the performances. 95 points for video, 100 points for script, 100 points for director, 100 points for acting The most outstanding thing, when I evaluate contemporary female performances, will always unconsciously substitute Uman as the standard. Now that I think about it, it is still too cruel to contemporary actresses. I'm thinking that if Americans can understand this kind of complicated performance, Borgman's actors can compete fairly for the Oscars, and the Golden Man will really be swept away by Borgman's actors, starting with four awards for male and female protagonists, It will sweep American actors to the bottom of their panties (of course, the statement is more exaggerated, and more expresses a recognition of these actors' deep acting ability, but these actors can no longer be separated from Bergman's films. Enough for such a deep performance, which may be the embodiment of Bergman's ability) 95 points for innovation, 98 points for works, 0.95 points for content coefficient, 93 points for film history

Cries & Whispers quotes

  • David: Come here, Marie. Come. Look in the mirror. You're beautiful. Perhaps even more than when we were together. But you've changed and I want you to see how. Now your eyes cast quick, calculating, side glances. You used to look ahead straightforwardly, openly, without disguise. Your mouth has a slightly hungry, dissatisfied expression. It used to be so soft. Your complexion is pale now. You wear makeup. Your fine, wide brow has four lines above each eye now. You can't see them in this light, but you can in the bright of day. You know what caused those lines?

    Maria: No.

    David: Indifference. And this fine contour from your ear to your chin is no longer so finely drawn - the result of too much comfort and laziness. And there, by the bridge of your nose. Why do you sneer so often? You see that? You sneer too often. You see it? And look under your eyes. The sharp, scarcely noticeable wrinkles from your boredom and impatience.

    Maria: Can you really see all that there?

    David: No, but I feel it when you kiss me.

    Maria: I think you're joking with me. I know where you see it.

    David: Where?

    Maria: In yourself. Because you and I are so alike.

    David: You mean in our selfishness, coldness and indifference?

  • Maria: You've changed. Is there someone else?

    David: There always is. Besides, I thought the problem didn't interest you.

    Maria: It doesn't.
