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.
