SIFF's second movie, thanks to low-cost transfer tickets?

"Living authentically is a gift that most of us don't have"

The whole process was overwhelming, and the entanglement of the relationship was so ferocious that I felt like I was watching a horror movie for a moment. Family problems are always a lifelong struggle. Talking is useless, humiliation is useless, and there is always a struggle between love and hate, hurt and self-blame. Everyone's acting skills stand up to scrutiny, the monologues don't feel boring, and the composition, lighting, and expression of the sonata are also charming.

During her monologue, her daughter felt that her mother's fault was trivial, but also felt real. Some people become parents before they grow up. People who rely too much on attention cannot face the mundane reality. Self-moving love is the most terrifying.

How can it be so easy to mend relationships? People's feelings are always too complicated, and sometimes it is not enough to work hard.

(Want to continue into Bergman's films?)

    "This film depicts the emotional alternation of love and hate between a mother and daughter who have reunited after a long absence in just one day and one night. The complex performance of Ingrid Bergman vs/Liv Uman is vividly displayed The subtle human feelings, especially the mother-daughter relationship. It deeply reveals a thought-provoking theme: on the one hand, people yearn for understanding from others, but on the other hand, they often do not understand others.” - recorded from the introduction to the film. "Have you ever understood anyone other than yourself? You have successfully ruined my life, just as you have ruined yourself. As for the mother-daughter relationship, what is this? Emotional? Insanity? Mutual damage is such a terrible feeling. Mixture! The mother's pain must be borne by the daughter, the mother's setbacks in life must be paid by the daughter, and the mother's misfortune and misfortune will turn into the daughter's misfortune, as if the umbilical cord between them was never cut. Mom, yes Isn't the daughter's tragedy or the mother's victory? ...Mom, I'm very frightened, and you're happy?"

    I'd rather see Helena as Eva's subconscious. The extreme of love and hate is a kind of aphasia. Those that can be organized and poured out are always disguised. When Eva used alcohol to express herself and forced her mother with words, Helena struggled violently, and her mother asked for forgiveness for Eva’s failure. Helena called her mother, come here! The mother runs away, Eva is depressed and seems calm, Helena is out of breath, on the verge of collapse, and the last one who shouts is the mother

Autumn Sonata quotes

  • Eva: You talk of my hatred. Your hatred was no less.

  • Charlotte Andergast: A sense of reality is a matter of talent. Most people lack that talent and maybe it's just as well.
