It's difficult to talk about such a film in the first place, it strikes me as I don't know where to start because of the complexity it contains, and in that sense, I can't say I fully understand the film.
First of all, my first impression was that the trivial details of married life unfolded calmly under Bergman's lens. It is difficult for me to immediately recall from my poor movie viewing experience which director's works about expressing married life can be compared with him. The whole film is completely life-like, and it is true to say that it is boring and dull, but from another perspective, this is exactly the real life texture. Presenting real beauty allows me as an unmarried young Chinese to fully enter into the Swedish married life experience at that moment.
The second impression is about its camera language, at least for a film idiot like me, talking about camera language is frivolous, because I don't have a lot of knowledge and accumulation about camera movement, but the camera movement in this film gives I am very impressed. First of all, the rich layers and emotional foundation of the whole film are supported by a large number of dialogues and actors' limbs and expressions, and the camera is presented to be more expressive. First of all, I think the movement of the camera has a kind of "movement in this film" The feeling of clumsy" is of course clumsy in the extended sense. For example, in a scene where the male and female protagonists are talking on the sofa, the camera is aimed at the heroine. , showing its response. In another example, when the heroine was reading her own diary, the moment she opened the notebook, the camera zoomed slowly and awkwardly. As a moviegoer who pays little attention to camera movement, I can't explain why I'm drawn to camera movement like this, I just think there's something rough and secretive about this clumsiness that attracts me.
The third impression is about how I think about the inspiration from this film. I have to admit that in the face of such rich emotional layers and such profound presentation of people's works, I often need to watch a certain passage repeatedly to make it possible. To keep up with the narrative of the movie, I think, it is not the complexity of the movie, but the roughness and lack of my emotions. Although we have unprecedentedly advanced hardware, our emotions are unprecedentedly lacking, so far, I can only thank the art of cinema for inspiring my rich and delicate emotions!
