The whole movie is simply two symbols: the knight Blow symbolizes the questioning of God and faith; while the circus couple symbolizes the absolute loyalty to God and faith. This can be seen from two places: Joseph once saw the Virgin Mary; the family lived happily and peacefully; Blow had the following dialogue with Ze Death, he said, why do we have faith? Is it because of the god of death? Faith is nothing but an idol we make in the face of our fears. In this way, the whole story is simple. Although the director questioned religion, his stance was firm. In the end, the Joseph family escaped Death's pursuit (due to persistent belief?), and the knights danced solemnly and followed their master Death's footsteps to another state of life.
I say it is good because the discussion of religion in it shocked me. There is no god of death in the Bible. Director Ingmar Bergman has created a god of death in contrast to God. In contrast, God appears to be nothing but a god of death that is more real. In addition, at the end of the movie, death does not make us feel terrible, and we feel the solemnity of life in the dance of that string of people. There are not many religious films I have watched, so I think the director who can say such a thing likes to think and has the courage to express it. After the end of the Second World War, in the 1950s, the two major Christian denominations were still able to maintain vigorous vitality, but from the 1960s onwards, they began to decline sharply. severe. In this sense, the film also has a certain historical connotation.
