Bergman's films, perhaps more intriguing to me about the angles and perspectives in which he uses the shots, than for the detached and alienating narratives in his films. This "Autumn Sonata" (1978) made me achieve a state of double viewing. The two Swedish national treasures, the director and Ingrid Bergman, worked together and were deeply impressed by the delicate handling of the relationship between the characters in the film.
The two masters, Bergman and Martin Scorsese, are in my opinion the directors who pay the most attention to camera angles and scenes. Focusing on the emotional deployment of characters, Scorsese firmly controls the intersection of the fate of various characters in the scenes he shoots.
As long as you think back to "Taxi Driver", De Niro's first time out of the car will make people amazed. The colorful neighborhoods of New York in the distance, the traffic flow in the close-up view, and the close-up of the taxi's front, body, rear, and car windows. There are all kinds of tools, inside and out, all of which are presented one by one, which can be described as dazzling, such as side to side, to instantly mobilize your movie-watching emotions.
Bergman has always been obsessed with formalist films, just as Scorsese was obsessed with realist films. Bergman admires Tarkovsky, Tarkovsky admires Bresson, just as Buñuel admires De Sica, his surrealist style does the opposite. The preferences of film masters come from different perspectives and angles, just like ordinary people like us watching movies.
Of course, film monsters such as Godard, in the past 50 years, he will not let go of the four brothers Rohmer, Rivette, Chabrol and Truffaut who have just debuted with him. Truffaut had to say if he could find a reason for the abuse besides being jealous of us. This may be due to personality. It is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. Just like Woody Allen disdains Hollywood, he can always find reasons and reasons for his disrespect, which has resulted in countless interesting and colorful movies. .
