Bergman Movie Notes: Monica

1 .
In the past, Zhou people said: Real girls, dare to face the bleak life, dare to face the dripping blood.
Like Monica and his like, although they dare not take this name arbitrarily, the generosity of their thousands of people is also enough to attract people's eyes. Then they watched his words and deeds and sighed his people, and then faced the wall and felt ashamed. Furu.

Bergman has become more and more proficient in handling the counterpoint relationship between characters and the space environment. Hidden but practical camera movement and scene scheduling are his technical training.

2. I agree with what he said, he doesn't know how to describe the happiness of young people. After the hero and heroine escaped to an isolated island, the narrative became obviously slow. Only a very short musical transition was used to show the twist in their relationship.
As for Godard's admiration of this film, it is about the film concept of the forever revolutionist at that time3

. When I saw Monica sitting on the bed smoking a cigarette, I couldn't help feeling it out and started smoking.
This girl is young and invincible. Her breasts, thighs, singing, and the armpit hairs that show up when she waved her arms are all like ocean waves.
Two dirty and desolate old men walked through her house downstairs playing the piano. The sound of the piano was accompanied by the uproarious clamor in the family, and the camera passed by, leaving a little moving.

4. Harriet Anderson appeared in his movie for the first time.
Bergman never let go of any chance to fall in love with his actress. This time, he put Harriet Anderson to sleep again for 4 years.
He can always continue to maintain a good personal relationship with the girls after every love is over. This is Kung Fu.

5. Another point that makes me curious is what creative experience this simple movie has brought him, hypocritically, that is, it allows him to more deeply understand his unique style characteristics later. Because, immediately afterwards, he suddenly shifted from the popular drama of watching mountains and mountains to a new realm of visually externalizing the inner world, and this iconic movie was called "Clown Night".

6. One day, find a girl to watch Bergman's movie with me. It's good to think about it.

    The cute but cruel romantic love myth and the stubborn male protagonist who separates from class is a good idea. If it weren’t for the middle-class family without yachts and spare money, perhaps the female protagonist wouldn’t feel that the male protagonist is so good at first, but the wildness and vitality of the female protagonist is precisely why. The product of the family environment. The attitude of the female protagonist towards the baby seems to be a repeat of her parents and the middle-class male protagonist will not help no matter how hard it is. Young people in spring, summer is always beautiful, but waiting for you is late autumn and winter The continuous editing of the painting is very Monet's taste. The transition uses a lot of fade out. The female and male protagonists have a lens respectively. Directly looking at the camera lays the foundation for the life of two people. Encounter a match. Fun dancing. The yacht's perspective. The sailing lens reveals a lot of freedom. The sceneries and empty mirrors of the sky are very intriguing. It is not a vacuum of youth love story. There is a real land where characters are bred. There are also a few interesting animal scenes, such as a surprised owl cut into it!

    It's not bad when you're a girl, but when you're a young woman (it's still a girl in age), it's completely changed. So marriage is imprisonment, marriage is not freedom. However, for the male protagonist here (most of the boys at this stage, I think), this means responsibility and growth. In that romantic summer (with a boat as home and wandering the world), the girl who loved her deeply was like an image in a mirror, waves in the water, and a dream, and then she woke up.
