I have long admired Bergman's name, so I didn't look for his early works, but started watching from "Marriage Life", which is the most widely accepted by the public. It is said that this film is a "plain work" that the master had to try in order to cater to the public's taste, but received enthusiastic responses, but from it, you can still see some subtleties that everyone knows but cannot feel.
Seeing the interview of the couple's love at the beginning, I subconsciously began to speculate on the plot behind the routine. According to the master's way, love and warmth are not simple things. Is it another old drama of resentment after being loved before and after? Fortunately, there are no deliberate plot twists and ambush, the love is true love, although it is short-lived and one-sided, it makes people feel that life is just like this. The male protagonist's forbearance and cooperation make people see no flaws. The heroine's ramble, and her parents are as short as most women, occasionally arguing to gain the upper hand, thinking that this is proof of being loved. The two will also analyze the tragic reasons for the good friend's marriage together, so as to better avoid conflicts in the future. So since when did you know about the hero's perfunctory behavior? It is the heroine who wants to take the same car with him to work, the happy smile on his face is so unreal, the inadvertent resistance in his words, the phone that he picks up and puts down, he feels that this man and woman are by no means honest and transparent on the face. . The man in the back directly confessed that the cheating was not incompatible with his personal image. Yes, he was the man who cheated in this way, and he retained your right to know with a trace of righteousness and goodwill. The heroine's reaction made me see my own lack of tolerance, and even added the halo of the Virgin. Instead of rolling and cursing, I thoughtfully prepared luggage for the other party to cheat and leave home. If this is called a qualified woman... unimaginable.
Divorce lawyers have lost their professional rationality and professionalism when dealing with their own divorce cases. As a female protagonist who pleases her personality, she uses the excuse of divorce negotiations again and again to tell her pain and the secrets in her heart, to test the rest of the love left by the other party in her body, repeatedly disappointed, and repeatedly entangled. After the male protagonist has tasted the freshness of the cheating object, he begins a reincarnation-like road of getting along with each other without human distinction, and starts to sway from side to side on the premise of maximizing his own benefits. The divorce process is realistic, ugly, and complicated, and it explains the psychology of the game between the sexes and the psychology of human nature.
The separation and the continuous verbal accusations of the two were superimposed. Time passed, and this long divorce process finally came to an end under the violent catharsis. The two remarried and met privately. They regarded each other as the most familiar and most cherished people, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their current positions, seemingly forgetting the pain left on each other in the past. At the end of the film, the hero and heroine are hugging and smiling, and at this point, they see each other as the best solace in their lives.
