Many times indifference replaces tenderness, rationality replaces sincerity, you cannot understand such a film with rational eyes, and "Wild Strawberry" is such a film that tries to gradually melt indifference. On the surface, it seems that it is also cold Ruthless and full of difficulty, but in fact, when we look back on the past, we suddenly find that it actually shows almost all of our emotional longings and the coldness and powerlessness of emotions that we don’t realize. However, one day when we realize its existence, coldness has been instilled in our blood, even in our old life, and extended in the next generation.
Bergman said in "Bergman on Film": "The driving force that drove me to make 'Wild Strawberry' came from my strong desire to try to express my strong desire to my parents who had abandoned me. At the time, my parents were beyond space, with Mythical, and the attempt was doomed to fail. Years later, they were transformed into normal human beings, and the grudges I had held since childhood faded away. Only then would we be able to live in harmony with each other."
Actually It is not Bergman who interprets "Wild Strawberries", but Professor Wenger who interprets Bergman's life.
When Professor Wenger said to Marianne, "I'm dead, although I'm still alive." When Victor Hueststrom looked away with sad and powerless eyes, the sense of powerlessness spread everywhere.
Trying to express love but losing the ability to express love and not being redeemed is an unsolvable problem in our age. And it wasn't until Sasha said to Professor Wenger that "the person I really love is you" before leaving, that residual warmth was realized at the last moment of life.
At the end of the film, Sasha took Ishak's hand and led him to a sunny clearing in the woods. On the other side, he sees his parents waving to him, and this is just the beginning of redemption.
