That's all I have to say, what do you think is your business

Text screenshots are from Bergman's autobiography "The Magic Lamp" in his later years

key word: drama

Bergman spent decades as a theater owner before making movies again, and his theatrical career is closely related to his life

Keyword 2: Humor

Bergman claims in his autobiography that he has no sense of humour and that being alone is a bizarre sense of humour

I laughed so hard while reading this
humorous self-deprecating

Key words two: performance and reality

Emily's character is, in a way, Bergman's splintered self—one who doesn't feel real, a little cold, intimacy-stricken but imbued with the artist's sentimentality.

Keyword 3: Childhood and Self

Keyword 4: Intimacy

Bergman says no illusions about intimacy

Keyword 5: God

'I have dealt with my unpleasant relationship with God all my life'

Keyword 6: Reality

Keyword 7: Emotion

In Bergman's text, in the lines, you can see the most emotional and feeling words for people. The deeper the understanding of people, the deeper the presentation.

It would be an understatement to say he was a psychologist

Keyword 8: Family and Ritual

Keyword eight: old age is coming

Old age is coming, like the end of the drama, the lights of the camera go out

Key words nine: world and existence

Although Bergman "has dealt with an unpleasant relationship with God all his life," he is indeed a Buddhist-style religious man.

Fascinated by the existence of time and space, he explained the "expansion of the universe" in the words of the bishop.

Must like Einstein more than Bergman

Keyword ten: I am Bergman

Watch this 5 hour 21 minute feature film

Bergman used the film as a summary of his film career and life

I can't help crying at the end

For Bergman, I can't "stop looking at the mountains and see the scenery"

So familiar with infatuation and inseparability

like my left hand signs my right hand

In the end, I can only stare at each other and say nothing.

Beloved Bergman

    I'm sorry, master, I watched it with a pillow, and I slept comfortably.

    "As a magician, what I create is real. The audience offstage sees it as false." Religion and repressed family relationships seem to be Bergman's eternal themes :)

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Ekdahlska huset - Oscar Ekdahl: My dear friends, for 22 years, in the capacity of theater manager, I've stood here and made a speech without really having any talent for that sort of thing. Especially if you think of my father who was brilliant at speeches. My only talent, if you can call it that in my case, is that I love this little world inside the thick walls of this playhouse, and I'm fond of the people who work in this little world. Outside is the big world, and sometimes the little world succeeds in reflecting the big one so that we understand it better. Or perhaps, we give the people who come here a chance to forget for a while, for a few short moments, the harsh world outside. Our theater is a little room of orderliness, routine, care and love. I don't know why I feel so comically solemn this evening. I can't explain how I feel, so I'd best be brief. My wife and I, and the rest of the Ekdahl family, my brother Carl, -I think Carl is here- We wish you all a happy and joyous Christmas. I Hope we meet again on St. Stephen's Day, strengthened in body and soul. Merry Christmas

  • Biskopsgården - Bishop Edvard Vergerus: You don't get rid of me that easy!
