When faith is lost

The fate with Inge Bergman should be from the university, the film history and audio-visual language teachers pushed the works of Master Bergman, even the examination also used his creative life as the test questions. When I saw Wild Strawberry for the first time, I was completely fascinated by the absurd scene of seeing my corpse in my dream. I think that is the most heart-palpiting clip I have ever seen. Later, I accidentally watched "The Seventh Seal". To be honest, I didn’t fully understand what was being said at the time, but Bogman’s films have a kind of magic, even if they can’t get the director’s intentions, they are still willing Keep watching.
When I was a graduate student, I was asked by the male god why he chose a film-related course when he took the male god class. He replied that he just wanted to understand the movies that I couldn't understand. Bogman's films are at the forefront. This time I finally had the opportunity to watch the Winter Light in the cinema.
When I watch some movies recently, I always wonder whether there is a corresponding style in the mainland. For example, after watching "Tokyo Story" including Hou Xiaoxian's works, I wondered if there are any related, calmly recorded films in the mainland. After watching Winter Light this time, we are also considering whether we have ever filmed movies with a lack of faith. Come to think of it, as a country that doesn't have much faith, maybe it was during the Cultural Revolution when the faith was most lacking, and it happened to encounter cultural regulation. This point can be dug up in the future.

    #重看#Classical, concise, silent and solemn, Delaire and Bresson are faintly visible; the glimmer of winter is bleak and thin, just like the precariousness of faith, the change of light and refraction link psychological changes; the composition and the lens are very neat, and the priest Profession and church atmosphere fit; he is always writing about the alienation of family affection and the questioning of divinity, and the shadow of his father is like a life of snow in winter.

    Another 90-minute theology-this is really theological, the protagonist is vicar, half of the dialogue is about theology; one person finally gives up from the torment of faith and doubt, one person catches from the desolation of winter Living in faith (the desire to live for others in existentialism, the desire to establish the meaning of oneself outside of oneself), faith and unbelief are the winter light that penetrates the suffering of the soul, cold and dazzling, sublime

Winter Light quotes

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: Picture my prayers to an echo-god, who gave benign answers and reassuring blessings. Every time I confronted God with the realities I witnessed, he turned into something ugly and revolting. A spider God, a monster. So, I sought to shield Him from life, clutching my image of Him to myself in the dark.

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: If there is no God, would it really make any difference? Life would become understandable. And this death would be a snuffing out of life. The dissolution of body and soul. Cruelty, loneliness and fear - all these things would be straightforward and transparent. Suffering is incomprehensible, so it needs no explanation.
