Because the time is too long, I have forgotten the previous plot at the end, but the story is very simple. It tells the story of Alexander and Fanny regaining their freedom after a series of events when their father died, their mother remarried, and their godfather was burned to death. The ones inside are dominated by warm colors, showing the wealth of their family and reflecting the aristocratic life in Europe at that time from the side. The story reverses when Alexander's father dies, and his mother marries a godfather whose home is dominated by cool grays, implying that they will suffer. But there is a particularly unforgettable scene in the Godfather's house. The scene where the Godfather and Emilia kiss on the windowsill is like a classical oil painting, which is particularly charming. Later, his grandmother asked her old friend and lover to rescue the two children. What makes people wonder is how their bodies have changed. This involves religious beliefs. At the end of the film, they continue to focus on this topic. . Alexander has seen Oscar's soul several times, the pinned God wired doll, the mummy that can breathe, and the cousin who can read Alexander. Later, in an accident, the godfather was burned to death, and they regained their freedom, and it was difficult for Alexander to see the ghost of the godfather. what is the problem?

The film uses the function of the door to the extreme, and the editing is also very powerful. Through the door, you go from one space to another. The ending is also very clever, ending with the beginning of another story, everything is possible, everything can happen. Time and space do not exist. Under the fragile framework of reality, imagination is like weaving threads, interwoven with new patterns.

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Ekdahlska huset - Helena Ekdahl: I loved being a mother. I loved having a big belly. I loved being an actress too, but I preferred being a mother.

  • Emilie Ekdahl - Ekdahlska huset: Your sister gave me sleeping pills for my insomnia. I put three of them in the broth. I did not intend for you to drink it. While you were checking on Elsa, I put three more in. Soon you will sleep very soundly, and when you wake up, I will be gone.
