Bergman's final work may also be his "best-looking" one. Compared with The Seventh Seal, Mask, etc., his filming time, film length and cost, and tone are max. This one is suitable for men and women of all ages.
It really can be called an "autobiography" (of course his autobiography is called the magic lamp). There is his childhood in the movie. It can even be said that Alexander is the child who has never grown up in Bergman's heart, and his life is his fairy tale. Because of this, he has become a "magician" who has always created miracles, and about movies and plays (a loyal fan of Shakespeare and Strindberg), he is very good at it.
This is actually a story about guarding a "fairy tale". Alexander sees ghosts from time to time (is it very Hamlet? Like the previous one, but the ending is much more happy). His father Oscar is the origin of his fairy tale (he was playing the ghost of the old King Hamlet when he died, very interesting mapping). In the big family of xx, everything is bright and brilliant, with its own openness and generosity. The stepfather's bishop's family is dark and depressing. Such tones also correspond to the human nature of different families. The former will save the children and their mothers at all costs, and even accept the blood of the innocent stepfather and reunite; while the latter is a hypocrite, destroying the children's body and mind, and even the maid has a dark and unbearable mind, and eventually died in a sea of fire... …
There are many incredible things in the movie, such as the mysterious old antique commercial box smuggling the two children, just like the magic of a magician, the stepfather thought the child was on the floor, and the box was empty, but in fact the child was in the box... .so escape.
My favorite is the speech given by my father Oscar. This is probably Bergman's perception of the world: My only talent, if it can be called talent, is to love this small world within the walls... Yes When the small world successfully reflects the big world at a certain moment, and thus has a better understanding of it... We can temporarily forget that grim big world... small house, orderly, Rules, conscience, and love.
Maybe adults do have a broad vision, but the rules and regulations are complicated; the world of children is unlimited. May everyone love and protect the little world in their hearts.
