Many people think that "silence" is the silence of God to silently gaze at human life, and then think that East is the representative of the soul and Anna is the representative of the body. I disagree with this view, because there are children and children in the play. Dwarf, the most important point is how you explain the plot of Easton’s masturbation. In my opinion, Bergman’s movies always haunt a kind of "loneliness", because of loneliness and desire, through various ways to express and Satisfaction, without exception, is to seek love to satisfy. Perhaps it is the reason of the individual’s childhood. This film is still full of Bergman’s experiences as a child. The difference is that it reflects more psychological and practical problems.
One
At the beginning of the movie , East was depicted as being different from her sister. She was very hot in the train box. Her sister wore a tube top, which symbolized openness, but she wore a suit that symbolized conservative. It was very strict. Through her coughing and smearing the blood, she could infer that she had an incurable disease, which created a gap between her and her sister. The incurable East was also uncontrollable: smoking and drinking. Doing nothing. Meaningful translation work. After reading a lot of books, I still can’t explain a lot of things. In the end of the film’s dispute with Anna, Anna pointed out East’s problem sharply. It turned out that East was just a fragile woman, and she needed it. Love. It’s very interesting that Bergman used a lot of contrasting techniques to depict East, Anna and the child. One of them is the difference in the scenery outside the window. East walked out to look out the window, and it was a frame dragging a lot of furniture. The carriage stopped. There are many meanings here. Combined with the scene when she saw the carriage again but the carriage did not stop, she guessed that she knew that she was going to die, and Anna and the child were going to leave her eventually, and she was undoubtedly anxious and uneasy. Time is also accompanied by the sound of bells to exaggerate this situation. Because loneliness requires love, and the self-righteous way of giving oneself to others because of wanting to love will only make the relationship more rigid in the end.
I refute East's claim that the soul represents the soul. In addition to the above points, there is also East's masturbation clips after smoking and drinking, which is a manifestation of desire. Therefore, the so-called silence of God is nothing but the silence of love. Because of love, I wanted to restrain Anna, so I made irresponsible remarks when Anna was out. When Anna came back from outside, she went to the toilet to check her clothes and inquired. She seemed to have a lot of suspicion: I wanted to keep Anna alone. Feel. From the scene where she and Anna face off directly at the end, that is, the scene where love is directly exposed, we can see the latent desire of East when she sees Anna making out with other men, which also explains the loneliness in her heart. At the end of the film, she said something to the servant of the hotel, saying that she is not a person who can accept too much. On the one hand, she opposes the love of men and women, but she also needs this aspect. In the end, she can only put her love on her sister and The child. All the meaning given by this role comes down to the word silence, and in the end she will be silent forever: die.
Second, Anna
Anna is undoubtedly a quest on behalf of individualism, her desire sister died, his son indifferent, just to satisfy his own. She is also a lonely patient, but her needs are expressed only through lower levels of love.
When the film was opened, when the child got up and turned around and sat next to her, she got up and sat on the other side. Hot weather is the reason on the one hand, and the indifference to children's feelings on the other. So the child leaned on her and she put the child aside to lie down, which is one of the manifestations of individualism. When my sister got off the train midway due to a serious illness, we saw her and her son standing in front of the train window: the child's blank eyes and Anna's disgusting and hostile eyes. The two eyes formed a sharp contrast, from which it can be seen that Anna has already produced a kind of rejection of her sister.
When I stayed in the hotel, the first thing I saw was Anna pulling down the window, which meant that she was bored with this place and also showed her inner narrowness. Her various open behaviors in bathing in the hotel showed her inner desire: yes, there is a tiger in her heart, a tiger of desire.
Then there was the scene of her going to the bar. She wandered around, giving me the intuitive feeling that a prostitute was looking for prey. In the end, of course she found that a kind of hunger and thirst was produced by loneliness and wanted to be satisfied through indulgence. But often this kind of satisfaction is the most empty, just like drinking to relieve sorrows, it will be more painful after waking up, just like when Anna and a man have sex after the clock is full of her, she becomes anxious and anxious. Yu yelled at East who came to care about her. Anna went to watch the performance. In the audience of the performance, she saw a scene of lovers having sex, which showed a struggle of inner desire.
She longs for love because of loneliness. But she is also too slutty. The biggest feeling Anna gives me is to move around, and rarely see her quiet scenes. No matter what kind of emotional release, it must be a vigorous feeling. She said that East did not love her, but it also reflected her inner loneliness and her narrow individualism. Some love needs to be silenced and experienced before it can be felt. In the end, it seemed that Anna also understood the love in life, so she opened the car window and let the rain calm and clean herself.
3. Child John.
Children undoubtedly have an Oedipus complex. This emotion stems from the attachment to the mother, and it is also a manifestation of loneliness.
The opening scene of the child changing seats with his mother can reflect this complex. Secondly, after staying in the hotel, the child stops to smell the scent of the mother while applying soap to the mother, and the mother applies perfume to him after the shower. The scenes of the child desperately smelling, these all reflect the child's inner desire. It is also an expression of the mother's neglect of the child.
Children often make a sound similar to airplanes or trains in their mouths, which shows the influence of children under the background of the times: the hotel seems calm, but the tank soldiers outside the window show war. Children are affected and subconsciously transfer loneliness to violence. For example, in the film, a child is holding a toy pistol to shoot others. This is a disguised sense of satisfaction. Because of his mother's neglect, he found solace in the dwarf. His desire to possess is like a puppy peeing to occupy the territory, and he did this behavior outside the door of the dwarf's room. It can be seen how lonely he is inside. But at the same time he was full of vigilance about the world, about the servants in the hotel, and Easton. When East was invited to have breakfast together, when East wanted to touch his face, the child avoided. Then the child drew a sketch for East, unexpectedly drew a monster, this profile shows the child's fear of East, just like he fears the world outside the window, after all, he is still a child.
The Oedipus complex is also expressed in the paintings that children see, and that naked painting also shows the latent desires in the children's hearts, which will be awakened sooner or later. The child’s transformation started from the servant. He understood that the love with his mother was not the only one. It should be said that it began to shift, but it was not obvious. It was not until he saw his mother kissing another man that he realized that he could not Mother possesses. The child is lonely and helpless. His relationship with East was beginning to change.
The film has a symbolic meaning that children see the tank outside the window, and the stop of the tank means war: the war of the world and the war between people. In the end, the child embraced East and the tank drove away, which meant ice release and the budding of love. Silence is the silence of love, looking for because of silence, or can be found or not. But it is always to be found.
At the end of the film, the child read what Estee had given him. Judging from East’s changes, she should have written about silence and love. Although she hates desire and desires a noble soul, the soul itself includes Love, but this love is love in a broad sense.
Finally, I want to say that love is the origin of the world.
