During the 89 minutes of the movie, every minute is like clear spring water flowing from the tip of the tongue. The clothing, conversation and lifestyle of Scandinavians 57 years ago, their thoughts and anxiety about life and love, brought me down. All the imagination of the movie became reality. From each frame of the image, feel the bit of Bergman's emotions. The simple pictures and lines all constitute the basic tone of this film. They only intercept fragments of the life of a family, and tell the story about the pursuit of love from the subtleties of the time spent together for a few days. There are three shocks. The first is the look and feel of the movie, which spans half a century, but it is not unfamiliar at all. From the clothes, objects, and even the sounds captured: ocean waves, footsteps, and whistle, they all seem to be black and white reality. The people are friendly. It can be seen that the Nordic countries are in the forefront of the world in terms of trends and social development, but the premise is that they have unique economic and natural conditions, and the abundance of resources allows them to directly overcome the poverty of poverty. The extreme night and extreme day give people thinking The environment in which literary and philosophical thinking flourishes, so none of the characters in the play consider the reality of food and clothing. They all wander in the spiritual world, writing, rehearsing plays, discussing the meaning of life and the existence of God. Reality and ideals are two quagmire of the same size. No matter which one you step on, the struggle will only sink deeper and deeper. It is better to look for branches to cling to. The second shock comes from the lines. There are too many symbolic lines, the meaning behind them is thought-provoking, such as the choice of death and submission in the mini-drama, the dialogue between father and Karin in the broken cabin, and Mino’s confession of his father before the curtain call, cleverly The reality is abstracted into objects, but the meaning of conversation is concretized. There are also notes on memories and feelings, such as the conversation between the hero and his father in the cabin, the explanation of his father’s writing and his father’s memories of suicide. Although a few words, they all start from feelings. The scene of the car parked on the cliff seems to have appeared in my dream last night, the kind of tension and epiphany, it was Zhang Huang when he woke up from the dream. The third is the theme. English name Through a glass Darkly explains the story very well. In fact, the four characters are facing life through a dim glass. Chaos, confusion and helplessness entangled them, and everyone can't find happiness. The heroine is schizophrenic and longs for God's salvation in fantasy and reality. The husband is entangled in how his wife feels about himself, the younger brother is ignorant and confused by hormones, and the father lives in his own circle to escape reality and even despair. And the heroine shuttles between the two worlds, which is also very symbolic. One is that everyone who passes through the wall in their imagination is shining in the world looking forward to God, and the other is to live with three other men. The former is full of hope and light but can only be temporarily avoided, while the latter is full of helplessness and despair but is related to breathing and feeling, symbolizing the meaning of ideals and reality. In reality, he healed herself. Karin's first choice was shattered. With fear, loss and pain, she finally chose the latter, which is exactly what Bergman gave the audience. The role of the father is more worthy of fun. He lives in the world in a way of drawing a circle, constantly allowing himself to escape the impact of reality and finally almost desperately commits suicide. At the beginning, he resisted love, and treated his wife, daughter and son. , Using too many own rules to measure, fleeing desperately to love, constantly shrinking his circle, until his empty heart is forced to nowhere, he chose death, but that terrible and lucky accident seemed to be an oracle In the same way, he opened the deepest door in his heart and found that love is more important than escape, enough to support him for the rest of his life, so he bought crude but sincere toys and returned to his relatives. The fantasy in his notebook was also his The true heart will not be changed by discovering love. He is a natural observer, just like when he finally found his daughter talking to herself, he just stood behind the door and watched, while the husband rushed into the house trying to Wake her up. But he did understand the role of love earlier than others, so he could tell his husband about the suicide experience, analyze his own shortcomings to his daughter, and finally convey the pursuit of love to his son, and finally said that you went for a run with full expectation. I'm here to cook because he knows that with love, life will be beautiful and everything will not lose its meaning. That scene was really like a ray of sunlight, piercing through the dark glass and illuminating the entire movie. The roles of the husband and Mino are equally full and representative. The husband is anxious about other people’s feelings. He is unrecognized and depressed. He is Karin's loyal companion, but he ignores the emotional supply. What he needs to find is the same love, walk into the heart of the other person, in order to resolve the predicament of love. Mino is a typical adolescent. The sprouting of hormones makes him very confused. It is a microcosm of Bergman's middle school age. The animal impulse allowed him to finally transcend ethics and taste the joy of sex. It is even greater loss, even depression: What is the meaning of all this? What does he rely on to live on? Fortunately for his father's answer, I believe he will also find what he wants. The confusion of love, the questioning of love, and the pain that cannot be loved are the question marks that floated from the distant Bergman’s childhood. They run through the entire life. They are also the movies of another director I like, John Kasawitz. The theme, judging from my childhood, this is also the biggest problem I’m facing right now. I still read it in the mirror. Maybe it didn’t give me an answer, but at least it made me understand. The pursuit of love is the same, accompanied by pain, hope, and disillusionment, just like the floating water on the shore of Faroe Island, it exists naturally, never subsides, and it is clear and lovely, but the other shore cannot be seen. Rather than being at ease in a circle, I prefer to chase outside the circle. I would rather pursue love in pain than comfort my loveless self. Learn Bergman to handle the relationship between fantasy and reality, bravely pursue the most precious love, and remember the smile at the end of the movie.
