The ending of "Shouting and Whispering" is also a kind of obscenity, but Bergman is more lazy, and directly uses the diary of the dead to replay the flashing memory scenes of childhood. What a rare realm to be in love with each other, even siblings, flesh and blood, and partners are exposed to the test of illness, mediocrity, or other more obvious elements. Hypocrisy or rejection, there are all kinds of gestures. It is not that the contradiction does not exist, it is just that it has not yet reached the moment of eruption. The words in the diary are full of warmth, but the eyes of the young girl in the camera are so melancholy. Could it be that she really doesn't understand, she's just been deceiving herself. Otherwise, how could even the priest say that her faith is stronger.
Bergmante is not kind, and knows that it is useless to talk too much. Don't waste the audience's constant shock, so in the paragraphs that the two sisters have ambiguous and repaired, they simply pull out the dialogue track and play Bach's a cappella cello. I've been listening to these two CDs almost every day these days, and no matter what environment they're placed in, they're always a barrier.
In contrast, the death caused by emptiness in "Girlfriend", and the young man who dared not show his face after the train passed by, the rational and restrained cruelty is too kind, even cruel. Because separation is the norm in life, even if we hug each other tightly.
