The story of a dying woman Agnes, her two sisters Karin and Maria, and a maid Anna in a house. The space is very narrow, but the lives of three people, past and present, are intertwined. Agnes, who is about to die, has always had a close and relaxed relationship with his mother. Ingmar Bergman himself is a person who wants to be close to his relatives but can't express it. The blood relationship that appeared in his films should be the strongest but the weakest. A little doubt. Agnes couldn't get all her mother's love. When she was about to die, she wanted to look forward to her mother's love. Her plump maid, Anna, took care of her with all her heart. To a certain extent, she even surpassed her mother's love for her. Calling Anna, lying in her arms to find peace. She pinned all her love for her mother on Anna. The plump Anna made people easily think of her mother. She held Agnes in her arms with her half-bared breasts so that the pain of Agnes, who was thirsty for love, was relieved. The demands of dying people are always very strong. Knowing that he is about to leave the world, he always wants to have everything indefinitely. This kind of strong and morbid desire of people is undoubtedly revealed in Agnes. After death, Agnes still can't rest. Sisters come to hug her and give her warmth...
One of Agnes's sisters, Maria, was a child very much like their mother, so she was most favored by her mother, but lost her sister's love, and the two sisters added a jealousy and resentment to her in addition to brotherhood. Maria is entangled between her husband and her lover, and her promise to her husband cannot be broken, not to mention she has a daughter, and her feelings for Dr. Agnes have never been cut off. The doctor looked at Maria in the mirror and clarified her thoughts. She was originally innocent and pure. Driven by her own desires, the girl becomes mean, greedy, and indifferent. When she got almost all of her mother's love, she was destined to spend her life in endless plundering of love, and the insatiable greed made her miserable.
Another sister of Agnes, Karia, is a very mean-looking woman. She is indifferent and lives forever in the jealousy of Maria and the suspicion of her husband. She repeated repeatedly that the marriage with her husband was a scam, and the two were cold Eating dinner relatively silently, Karia's thin and long lips either sneered or pursed tightly. The only way to stretch it was when she cut her lower body with shards of glass, and she smeared blood all over her mouth while laughing freely. The teacher said mysteriously that there is a metaphor here... Karia, as a wife in her relationship with her husband, did not get her husband's love. Marriage is just a scam, and she can only satisfy her desires through the pain of piercing her lower body.
When the classmates spoke in class, they mentioned a little detail that they didn't notice. When the pastor gave the eulogy to the dead Agnes, all the tone was suspicious. Even priests representing God doubt their own beliefs, let alone ordinary people. Ingmar Bergman's father is a devout believer, and he fully doubted his father's firm belief in his own film, and even the belief as a spiritual pillar should be doubted. What hope is there for people to live? It was in such a desperate and depressing environment that Ingmar Bergman gave Anna the role of rescue. She acted as her microphone after Agnes was resurrected, and asked the sisters to come and see her, but the two sisters who were supposed to be related by blood, Karia arrogantly refused. She didn't want to hug a corpse, and Maria pretended to hug her and wouldn't leave her, but when Agnes really hugged Maria, she ran away. daughter. Only Anna, who has nothing to do with Agnes, but Anna, who has been praying all day, played a side of representing love and motherhood, and hugged Agnes all the time.
And her two sisters once thought about reconciliation, only in the music they hug and kiss each other, as if they are very affectionate, but when they return to the trivial life such as inheritance issues, they immediately return to their indifferent and hypocritical faces, and even abandon them. Resurrected Agnes.
In the end, death is certain, Anna continued to stay in the room, while Karia and Maria were dressed in black and seemed to be very sad to leave. Karia's husband even thought that Anna was so heartfelt for a raise. The trees fell and the birds and animals scattered. Anna just opened Agnes' diary and saw that she missed the days of walking with her sisters.
There is no explosive ending, and the success is over. Ingmar Bergman has always been a psychedelic, skeptical film, and it is said that we are going to see "Autumn Sonata" next week. The heroine is Ingrid Bergman, and continues to struggle with feelings of love and not love.
