The cultural power of film

The film tells a Western-style liberal romantic love story. From falling in love, getting married, and getting divorced, it embodies the charm of personality freedom. However, in terms of narration, it is mixed with Eastern implicitness, giving the film a poetic aesthetic, and creating an artistic atmosphere in the realistic plot.
There are many details in this film that are handled well:
1. The gentleman's understanding: When Monica was caught stealing the steak, she sliced ​​the steak for her to eat on the table, and called the police to deal with it. He neither gave her a steak to simply let her go, nor did he feed the steak to the dog, beat her severely, and handed it over to the police for this kind of polarizing treatment.
2. Human kindness: When their ship was maliciously damaged, Harry and Monica stunned the damage, and Harry dragged him out of the water to avoid drowning.
3. Harry's Aunt: There is such a role, guarding tradition and conservative in the free indulgence of young people in the film. She cared for Harry without complaint, and gave him the best transition to rush into life
. Harry’s efforts: Harry in the film is a very ordinary boy, when he learned that he had a child , He works hard and studies hard. It is not excluded that the director is also a young man who has educated the liberalism of the 1950s, but he has handled it so well that people cannot feel the slightest sense of being preached.

    I've heard the name for a long time, but I haven't watched it... While watching, I exclaimed in my heart: I underestimated you, dbq! I like this movie so much, I can feel that Bergman in his thirties brought all his thoughts, emotions, and gazes into life at that time (and saw the cityscape of Stockholm in the 1950s. I like the two I like the small hills overlooking the night scene after watching the movie; I like them going down the river in a boat, going back to the same city after a while; I like the soul torture of life sent by Monica, who likes to steal meat; Like the little guy who burns the boat inexplicably; like all the charming close-ups that captivate the new wave generation; like the empty mirrors of the sky; ... Complex and Dazzling. But she is the most simple and direct heroine, so everyone can get their own perspective from it. It's a bit awkward to shape the heroine from a completely male perspective. Fortunately, she comes with a wild buff.

    Not out of date, great. Bergman photographed wild and unruly girls, the two loves and ears in love, and also the embarrassment of "After Nora is gone" and the summer of freedom that has never been seen before. Also filmed "a chicken feather in the same place" and "poor and lowly couples are sad". Is Monica a bad girl? Maybe in the world, but she also cried for the movie. I think her pure moment is better than many people's dirty lives.
