We believe in faith

I like the afternoon, this time.
Outside the window is a magnolia tree that does not distinguish between the four seasons, and all the light and shadow that fall through the wind is on our floor.
The sun is very bright, but you can look directly at it.
It feels like Bergman gave me.
Solemn and stoic, but can be close.
I often read to myself when my heart is cold, the light of winter.
Maybe it will be the only equipment I have to spend this winter alone.
That's the woman with him, I guess.
She looks directly into the camera, like looking directly at you or herself.
She said, we just lack love.
I wondered if she also had a slight sorrow for a certain relationship at that time.
someone.
The priest, who played the piano and led the hymn, peeked at his pocket watch.
Another grand ceremony of faith is over.
What is strange is that no matter how the final protagonist rebels against faith, salvation and religion,
they are still in the fog of fierce religious sentiment.
He rubbed his fingers hard, frightened by his doubts.
The wind is blowing,
and the flapping of leaves and wind makes a rich sound.
I suddenly thought, in cold weather, tears should lose heat.
Waiting for a beam of light, until people have the illusion of a different place in the body.
I have already begun to miss this winter that has not yet arrived.

    The character’s intensity of reflection is astonishing, and the narrative is concise and clear. Gannell and Ingrid have taken the “sense of distance” into place, preaching to “them” from the beginning to convincing themselves at the end, borrowing the emotional gains and losses of men and women, and the ultimate crucifixion of Christ The perplexed contradiction drenched the tragic core performance of the trust crisis between people. The pastor's self-forced love of faith finally became colder and paler, just like the setting sun in winter without a trace of humanity. Screen rewatch

    Bergman's films are not films that ordinary people can see on a daily basis. He may no longer regard film as art or work, he may have regarded film as his religion. Compared with "Still in the Mirror", there is already a sense of powerlessness for the piety of Christ. It is said that the power of religion in the trilogy is getting smaller and smaller, and the power of love is getting bigger and bigger. I look forward to "Silence".

Winter Light quotes

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: I was a seaman's pastor in Lisbon, during the Spanish Civil War. I refused to accept reality. My God and I resided in an organized world where everything made sense. You see, I'm no good as a clergyman. I put my faith in an improbable and private image of a fatherly god. One who loved mankind, of course, but me most of all. Do you see, Jonas, what a monstrous mistake I made?

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: An ignorant, spoiled and anxious wretch makes a rotten clergyman.
