i love bergman

The 1973 work is called a classic because I think it expresses something that will not fade slightly over time. The greatness of Bergman, or a good director, is not only a person who understands the art of film, but also a person who is very good at storytelling and observation. How can you talk about married life so thoroughly? For many people, married life can be said to be two-thirds of life. So married life is not only about the relationship between husband and wife, but also about how people face their true self. In the process of self-knowledge, knowledge can help people understand themselves better. But this kind of intelligence and high sensitivity also make this kind of people suffer, especially the intellectuals and the middle class. Even with good social status and great wealth, loneliness has not spared them. Marriage does not solve loneliness - what I would call the ultimate human problem. I watched episode 5 tonight. Marianne originally planned to find Joan to sign the divorce agreement, and then make love and have a meal as a farewell to the past. As a result, after the passion was over, the two still quarreled, and in the end they had a big fight. Joan signed while weeping bitterly. It's a very real scene. Even so, I still can't understand or don't want to believe how a couple who are close to each other can come to the point where they hate each other. On the surface, the rupture of marriage life originated from Joan's affair. He abandoned his wife and children because of his passion, leaving the other party overwhelmed and plunged into great and prolonged pain. After the passion subsided, Joan felt lonely again and wanted to return to the family. Did he forget why he left in the first place? Just another kind of loneliness. Men and women are indeed two creatures that cannot be understood. Love and hate are the norm. They can't communicate with each other, and finally they get tired of listening.

Scenes from a Marriage quotes

  • Marianne: I felt inadequate at work and at home, and I was a washout in bed too. I was hedged in by all the griping and endless demands! Goddamn you! Was it so strange that I used sex for leverage? I was outnumbered, having to fight you, both sets of parents and society! When I think about what I endured, I could scream! I tell you this: never again! You sit there whining about conspiracies. Well, it serves you right! I hope you'll have it rammed down your throat that you're a useless parasite.

    Johan: You're being utterly grotesque!

    Marianne: So what? That's what I've become!

  • Marianne: Sometimes you ask such goddamn silly questions.

    Johan: Sorry. Are you angry with me?

    Marianne: I'm not angry, but I'm on the verge of tears. The trouble with me is that I can't get angry. I wish that for once in my life I could really lose my temper, as I sometimes feel I have every right to. I think it would change my life. But that's not the point. You spoke earlier about loneliness. That bit about being strong on your own. I don't believe in your gospel of isolation.I think it's a sign of weakness.

    Johan: What's wrong, Marianne?

    Marianne: It's so... humbling.

    Johan: What's humbling?

    Marianne: I think about you... and I think about myself and about the future. I can't see how you're going to cope without me. Sometimes I think in desperation, "I must look after Johan. He's my responsibility. It's up to me to make sure he's all right. That's the only our lives will be worthwhile."

    Marianne: I don't believe people are strong all on their own. You have to have someone's hand to hold.
