The name Ingmar Bergman is used to scare young literary and artistic youths who have no experience with movies. Philosophy, life, freedom, religion... These big propositions will always make the audience shy away from entertainment. However, since there are people in this world who fled in front of Bergman, of course there are also people who are not afraid of death, such as me. I don't like Bergman's seriousness and depth too much, but at least I didn't put off his films. For example, today I honestly watched "Anna's Lust" twice in a row.
Watching Anna's Lust twice in a row isn't worth showing off, but I really plan to watch it a dozen or eight times, not for Bergman, but because I think Anna's Lust has something in itself. There are many things to dig up, and I can't satisfy my greedy appetite once or twice.
Going back to the movie, the character of the heroine, Anna, makes me feel deja vu. I feel that to some extent she is me and I am her. Ana is actually an idealist and a feisty one. Many clues in the movie make people feel that her requirements for love and marriage are terribly high. Love must be vigorous, life and death, and marriage must be happy and happy. However, can such a good thing fall on one person? Anna is just an ordinary person. Of course, there is a big gap between ordinary life and ideals and imagination. When the truth does not match the imagination, Anna actually chose to "lie" to make her friends enviable. love and a happy married life. I think what Anna and I have in common is that we are perfectionists when we are pursuing love, but in the face of life I choose to face reality, and Anna is a deserter.
In the first part of the film, when the four protagonists have a dinner together at Easter, Iris just revealed a little fact that he is messing around at work, and Anna seizes this point and criticizes and educates him righteously. Anna's image at this time is sunny, healthy, upward, and even a little righteous. However, we have to be wary when a person behaves too decently. In fact, Andreas already knew that Anna was lying at this time, because he had read the letter that Anna's deceased husband had left her. It was written that his marital problems with Anna were horrific and it was clear that Anna's married life had long since turned red and it was terrible. The strange thing is that he didn't expose Anna's lies, and Andreas made everyone here think that he admired Anna's character very much.
In fact, I think Anna and Andreas are not only hypocritical but also very tired, especially Anna, everyone's marriage has a lot of problems, so why are you so stubborn! Andreas obviously just wanted to find a woman to make up for the dull and boring life after the divorce, but he wanted to do some male robbery and female prostitution in the name of love; it was obviously to cover up the fact that he was a "parasite" who was indistinguishable. , but to hold high the banner of lofty and lofty seclusion. What are these two people trying to do? This is too fucking exhausting! However, it is undeniable that such people abound in our lives. Because of this, the two characters Ana and Andreas look real and full, and they look like our neighbors in the movie.
The fullness of the characters is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the content of this film. Some of the side branches in the movie and even the casual details in the movie are equally wonderful. For example, there was a very perverted "animal abuse" incident on the island. Many lovely animals were bloodily killed and brutally dismembered and then abandoned in the wilderness. The focus of suspicion is on a lonely old man who lives alone on the island. People used threatening letters wrapped in stones to smash the glass of the old man's house to intimidate him, and even broke into the old man's house to torture the innocent old man inhumanly. Later, the old man could not stand the humiliation and torture of the islanders and finally ended his life by hanging himself. This plot is worth pondering, "abuse of animals" is despised by people, what about "abuse of people"? Isn't it too absurd to "abuse people" in order to curb "abuse of animals"? But I think this kind of thing is not uncommon in Western society, and it is still happening to this day.
The profoundness of Bergman can be seen everywhere in the film. For example, at the dinner mentioned above, Bergman put forward his reflection on religious belief through Eva's mouth. Later, Bergman brought up thinking about freedom in a conversation between Andread and Ailes... These ubiquitous details make me think that watching Bergman's films is definitely not light entertainment, Bergman It also seldom accommodates the low taste of the audience. The film is the process of Bergman's thinking on various serious propositions of life. Some of these thoughts have results, and some have no answers no matter how much you think about them. However, in any case, Bergman still likes this way of thinking. His performance and obsessive state of thinking deeply about those issues reminds me of Jin Yong's loneliness, invincibility and indifference. "Indifference" not only convinces people of his amazing aura, but also awes the works that are shrouded in his powerful aura——
A great master, Ingmar Bergman.
