Film Essay "The Seventh Seal"

Perhaps, the essay is just self-deception that cannot be thought or written.
1. Bullock read the deep fear in the eyes of the witch who was burned at the stake. Why do people have to take responsibility for their innocence. The so-called original sin is whether it is God's punishment or a lie fabricated by man for himself. Fear gives birth to illusions, illusions become God, God punishes human beings, and human beings deem the responsibility they should bear. Self-deception actually drives people to be willing to bear crucifixes, carry heavy coffins, and beat each other's own flesh, thinking that they can glorify God, reach infinity, and fight against death. The painter's words are not wrong at all. The fourteen-year-old witch was just a victim at the right time. When she faced death, is the other side that God promised so true and credible?
2. Death is omniscient and omnipotent. But why did he pretend to be a priest to deceive Bullock of the secret to playing chess? Is it because of loneliness and nothingness. He is just constantly confirming his dominance in the trials of human beings again and again, and when killing people will get tired of it, let's play! Since Bullock proposed to play chess, why would he not do it. When you're exhausted and no longer having fun, snap your life to a close. It turns out that people are just his playthings.
3. The god of death said, "Most people live and never think about death and the futility of life." If you say this sentence in another way, there is no problem. But why did you say it, is this a metaphor you deliberately revealed, in order to lure people beyond the unsurpassable death. Man, fooled. They don't know that most of the thinking about death just adds to worry and fear. Before death is inevitable, any so-called transcendence cannot escape the suspicion of self-deception.
4, cynicism is also an attitude towards life. Since the real fate is so absurd, why should I take it seriously. Fuck god, fuck heaven hell. The disillusionment of the Crusades, the world is so ridiculous, and the indifferent attitude of the heroes cannot but be said to be a satire of the so-called meaning. You could say he's cynical and has no ideals, but compared to a hypocritical seminary student, a hero is a meaning in itself. At least, he also saved a girl who was suffering. Saved it, not just fantasizing and talking about it.
5. The triangular farce of the blacksmith and his wife and the actor Ska actually constitutes the normality of human existence. Living, in addition to eating and drinking, is a farce, and there are habitual rumors. In fact, what is it worth to grit our teeth and ask ourselves, aren't you so ordinary? Tired of the trivialities of life, isn't life trivial? Why bother to look for a heavy burden on oneself, to think about some inexcusable life and death issues. When death is really unavoidable, "Oh" will do.
6. I know that I will die one day, and I am afraid of the unknown whereabouts of death. Bullock appealed to God, but God did not reach out to him to reveal himself. Faith became an unbearable punishment for Brock. His attitude towards life is so serious that he is burdened with heavy shackles like those slaves who travel long distances. But he was unwilling to be at the mercy of the god of death, and took advantage of the god of death's sense of superiority in his eagerness to self-affirmation, and won a reprieve. And using the period of probation, he discovered the meaning and enlightenment of the world, and set up a monument that will not fall in the way of disturbing the chess game. Although sad, it shows the greatness of the small human beings. Although death is irresistible, there are always people fighting for it, in order to win more simplicity and childishness from the god of death.
7. Life is happy, and every day is better than every day. It was easy for Jove to see the Virgin Mary and the Son of Jesus, while Bullock spent his whole life having difficulty seeing the true face of God. Whether the present world is too absurd, or the human heart is too complicated. Jove, Mia and their children are the people who know life best in the film. They view the gains and losses of life with an optimistic attitude, trust each other, and love each other passionately, just as they love life. The human soul should be so simple, beautiful and kind. Only they can make faith so simple, and can escape the final judgment, watching the god of death dance the dance of death and take away all the people
who should go ... Walking alone on a street that is still warm in the afternoon, I don't know what to do measures. I thought that "The Seventh Seal" would bring me a calm mood, but the self-deception that I couldn't control and escape secretly changed the concept of calm and depravity. Afterwards, he was still complacent. To be exact, I can't find myself, either in real life or in movies.
Fortunately, the fragrance of various snacks on the street reminded me that life is different after all. Why pretend to be deep, why seek heavy. Isn't the warm sunshine very comfortable? I believe Bergman is pessimistic in his bones, but he firmly believes that human beings will eventually be saved, because faith is supposed to be so simple.
