Art is a glass of wine, light and strong are as rare as what kind of person the artist is.
Strong Hitchcock, McGuffin, ticking time bomb, last-minute rescue, unexpected reversal -- not counting the hearts of the audience, but also constantly rocking up and down, always suffocating people first, and finally getting them The thrill of being rescued is a cinematic master of skill appearance. It is precisely because of its appearance that it is often imitated and learned.
In contrast, Bergman is light.
In terms of "Wild Strawberry" alone, in terms of genre, it is a road movie. In terms of rhythm, it strictly follows the principle of three acts. From the perspective of the characters, whether it is the three young people who are enthusiastic and pure and happy, or the middle-aged couple who are full of anger and make people feel uncomfortable, and even the son, daughter-in-law of the protagonist, and even the protagonist himself, they are all specific personality symbols. Externalize.
But for such a "routine" movie, you can't feel the existence of the routine when you watch it. Instead, it makes people feel that the whole movie is an inadvertent understatement and a swipe of the author. It has no violence, no fighting, and no blood. , There is no conspiracy, no shouting, and nothing intense, but the pain, joy, regret, helplessness, sadness, loneliness, and warmth of life are all in it. After watching it, people can't help but smack it carefully. Bergman's ability to hide his narrative skills is evident.
Finally understand why Ang Lee, who is also good at hiding skills, has such a high regard for Bergman. Undercurrents surging, listening to thunder in silent places, Bergman is indeed a great forerunner.
