Everyone is mortal

There are four kinds of people, one is afraid of death and hopes in God, they whip each other and beg God's forgiveness in the face of the plague; the other is chivalrous and plays with death, but the chessboard is always tilted to death's side, but again. What does it matter, the more important thing in chess is attitude, and the outcome seems less important; one is a natural optimist, which is not the same as people who are just in time, their optimism is a belief in love and hope, so it can be seen To the light of the Virgin Mary; the last kind of person sees the fear of death, finds something that can benefit from the weakness of human nature, so spreads the fear, amplifies the contradiction, and loses it because of what he uses. everything.

In the face of death Bergman gave the answer: nothingness, everything is nothingness. In this endless emptiness, the army is in chaos, the plague is rampant, and there is still warmth in the sad days, just like the wild strawberries and milk, the setting sun and the sound of the piano, so in the end, only the Jove family escaped death.

Bergman denies the existence of God. Death, like priests, can sneak into the confession booth to listen to people's confessions to God. But those who execute girls to death do the devil's deeds under the guise of God. The truth leaked: "For the devil's sake...not God." What is faith? "Faith is a heavy burden, like falling in love with someone in the dark, no matter how much you cry, they won't show up." Faith is just a tool to hypnotize the ego by fear of death, and we will never get a response.

All beings say that they would rather die pure than live in hell, but what qualifications do they have to be pure? All the fools who take pleasure in the misery of others have the blood of Satan flowing.

Bergman is really a master of golden sentences, "A skeleton is more attractive than a naked woman.", "No matter where you go, your ass follows you.", "Love is the most terrible plague, and only death can be liberated." Comrades who write official accounts should learn more.

Finally, I want to say, this god of death is really busy, he has to cut down a tree to kill a person. What year and month will this be killed? It's time to improve his business ability.

    Feeling the confusion and troubles in Bergman's thought at that time, the most admirable thing is the strong vitality and willpower revealed in this film, which is the soul of a great artist

    Today's movies have long stopped focusing on the silence of God, and only concerned with the hustle and bustle of human beings. In this ironic age, Bergman is still questioning the existence of God, and the sharpness of "The Seventh Seal" is its strength. It's an uncompromising film that treats good and evil with the same simplicity, and sees Faith as its only hero.

The Seventh Seal quotes

  • Antonius Block: From our darkness, we call out to Thee, Lord. Have mercy on us because we are small and frightened and ignorant.

    Jöns: [bitterly] In the darkness where you are supposed to be, where all of us probably are... In the darkness you will find no one to listen to your cries or be touched by your sufferings. Wash your tears and mirror yourself in your indifference.

    Antonius Block: God, You who are somewhere, who must be somewhere, have mercy upon us.

    Jöns: I could have given you an herb to purge you of your worries about eternity. Now it seems to be too late. But in any case, feel the immense triumph of this last minute when you can still roll your eyes and move your toes.

    Karin, Block's Wife: Quiet, quiet.

    Jöns: I shall be silent, but under protest.

  • Witch: Look into my eyes.

    [the knight meets her gaze. They stare at each other for a long time]

    Witch: What do you see? Do you see him?

    Antonius Block: I see fear in your eyes, an empty, numb fear. But nothing else.

    Witch: No one, nothing, no one?

    Antonius Block: [shakes his head] No.

    Witch: Can't you see him behind your back?

    Antonius Block: [turns around] No, there is no one there.
