CRY FOR ME

It is a visual feast to watch a movie with simple but strong colors on the big screen: the bright red, black and white of the blockbuster flow in the movie. The male characters are like passers-by, but vaguely make women the puppets of fate. When there was still light, at least there was Anbu that made people feel hesitant, confused, and struggling. When everything was calm, all those who were still alive formed alliances with lies. They are no longer afraid and eager to be seen through, because such people, those who can hear, have been banished (Anna banished, second sister died).

The shouts and whispers seemed to disappear at least twice. The first time was when they tried to get close to each other, and the two sisters had a silent conversation. The second and last time was when they completely lived in the lie and made the lie cover the truth. Before that, it is true to shout loudly; it is true to embrace and approach; it is true to avoid silence; it is true to stab the knife into the lower body; it is true to vent emotions; After this, the same is like a coin, the negatives forgotten are pure white and the swing; the positives left are the raven and the decision. Probably there is no light and no entrance, but people always have to live.

There is also the pain of the three sisters, so thinking about the physical pain of the second sister is still the happiest, the pain of the elder sister's brokenness and lies, and the incomprehensible younger sister. After watching "Marriage Life" (about sex: wife's conservative concept and later sexual liberation kkk) and "Shouting and Whispering", is there a feminism factor in it: in this film, Anna changes clothes for the eldest sister. The camera lens, layer by layer, day after day, is a suffocation that has long flowed/stayed in the capillaries and is accustomed to neglect: the mirror allows the dressing person to see the real eyes, but it also makes her subconsciously escape and say don't look at it with such eyes I. In the big close-up, they all have the moment of looking at the audience.

    "Now, I can enjoy this perfect time and enjoy it for a few minutes. I am deeply grateful for my life, it has given me so much." How Bergman's this shows a hint of optimism.

    The women of that era were not humans at all. No matter how beautiful, elegant, and rich they looked, they were still beasts in the gorgeous zoo, unable to be independent and nowhere to escape. But the inner desire can’t be shut down. If you cover your mouth, you will run out of your eyes, if you cover your eyes, you will struggle out of the tightly clenched fists, until the whole person turns into a fire. , I burned everyone I met, and burned myself to death. Bergman must have seen many such women. He heard their shouts and whispers. He wanted to say for them that no life should live like this.
