Open and complicated, complicated and firm

After watching the North Film Festival, my husband said that he didn't like the ways of these Western masters. It was too complicated. There seemed to be a lot of things to express, and it seemed to be confusing. Occasionally, when I resonated with the masters, I felt that I understood. But what does the master want to say? tell a story? no! Reasonable? no! Point of view? Still not! So usually it seems to understand but not understand, in the cloud and in the mist~ all the above are the complaints of my husband all the way home...but I don’t think so~

The so-called master movie, the most different from "vulgar fans" is that it has more space for thinking and enlightenment-perhaps different dimensions, so that we are accustomed to the values ​​challenged; perhaps different attitudes, let us The cognition of the world is somewhat doubtful; perhaps it is a different expression, which makes our bewildered mind feel a little comforted...

For example, a man who is amorous and enjoyable, squeezes flowers and grass everywhere, his wife not only indulges him, but also gives gifts to his lover. In the narrow moral view, this must be the one who wants to be quick... But in the film, the despair encountered After the situation is finally over, what he said in his arms with his little daughter in love life, you will feel so in agreement. Yes, the storm of life comes just as it says, so why not enjoy it to your heart's content? Is monogamy just the shackles of the law and mankind? What are we pursuing? ! Isn't it happy? !

For example, after a downhearted and unresponsible man ruthlessly accused his wife of being mean, he blamed himself for an instant, lay down helplessly, and asked God: I was once a prince, but how did I get to this day? Tears slid down his disgusting face and wrinkles... Maybe we can laugh at him happily: it deserves it. However, who has never had that kind of helpless powerlessness? Even if you can put on layers of masks, how can you not be more tolerant to the fragile people of the same birth when facing the heart-wounded heart?

For example, on the night of the bereavement, she uttered a desperate roar~ which fully explained the reason for her desperation afterwards. So helpless, she thought she could move towards warmth, towards light~

There are so many such details and attentions, just like real life, how can there be a beginning and an end? It is the staying and sinking of eyes and feelings.

There is so much to discuss in this film. The 3-hour capacity is complicated and complicated, but it is so real and its care is so open! Its confidence in the world is so firm! No matter what catastrophe we experience, it's not as exciting as we are together again, isn't it!

At the end of the film, it says: Everything is possible and can happen. Time and space do not exist. Under the fragile framework of reality, imagination is intertwined with new patterns like weaving threads.

    The first time I saw Bergman, it was on the big screen again. I understood it and was shocked. Gorgeous, fantastic, paradoxical, ghostly, every frame is as beautiful as an oil painting, with vivid colors and high-definition pictures as if it were a 2002 movie. Open love, homosexuality, religious resistance, and patriarchal resistance run through the soul of the Nordic classic "Hamlet", Alexander, who always lived in the shadow of his late father and vicious bishop. The first half is very boring, a large section of the foreshadowing can be completely cut off, and the focus is not "Fanny and Alexander" at all. In the second half, the style gradually changed, and the plot gradually became bizarre, turning from a drama film to a horror film. Demagogic parallel montage cuts, crisp and horrific soundtrack, casts the plot and atmosphere like magic. It was extremely uncomfortable to watch the continuous mourning and mourning at the funeral. I almost thought that Alexander would be molested by a pedophile after escaping... There was actually German in it, and I was still wondering!

    #重温# The third time in June 2018; a perfect interpretation of Strindberg's "Everything can happen, time and space do not exist", tears several times. The magic lamp illuminates the childhood paradise. This warm little world is almost dreamy. He saw the sad soul of his father, "We will never be separated", and I cannot sit beside you sadly. In terms of theme and form, he has returned successfully, and is the best and favorite Bergman with "Mask".

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Ekdahlska huset - Helena Ekdahl: I loved being a mother. I loved having a big belly. I loved being an actress too, but I preferred being a mother.

  • Emilie Ekdahl - Ekdahlska huset: Your sister gave me sleeping pills for my insomnia. I put three of them in the broth. I did not intend for you to drink it. While you were checking on Elsa, I put three more in. Soon you will sleep very soundly, and when you wake up, I will be gone.
