I have no religious beliefs and I am not considered an atheist. I am full of curiosity and awe of any religion. And I don’t know anything about it.
Talking about Bergman’s movies can’t circumvent the controversy brought about by these religious beliefs. I rarely see directors who have this ability to talk to God. Bergman counts as one, Tarkovsky counts as one. Watch Bergman. Mann’s films often make people fall into contemplation. In Bergman’s films, there is no answer, only a dialogue with God and questions to the audience. Love is God, and God proves love? Then I gave you my whole heart, why can't I get your response? Should I doubt my beliefs or my doubts? There is no answer!
People long for dialogue with God and long for the coming of miracles, but what they get is always the silence of God. What makes us believe so firmly in the existence of divinity? What makes us question the existence of divinity again and again? Still no answer! I think Bergman also has the same confusion as us. He didn't make a movie because he knew the answer, he just shot his confusion.
This era no longer produces directors who can talk to gods like Bergman’s old tower. The divinity of the divine art of movies is slowly losing. This era only produces directors who please the audience and the box office capital.
Simple look and feel.
