shout and drizzle

The whole movie gave me a feeling of depression from the very beginning. Agnes is a woman who lacks love. She has longed for maternal love since she was a child, or hoped for sisterhood when she grows up. Although she is terminally ill, she is also a sister. When I came to see her, I showed a smile from the bottom of my heart.

The four women in the room are not good at communicating, and they all have their own entanglements and pains.

Karin has always refused love directly, and she even refused to love her husband's indifference and selfishness. She did not hesitate to cut her own genitals as a provocation.

Maria struggled between her husband and the doctor. The fear of death kept her from getting close to her sister. She also politely wanted to maintain the relationship between the sisters. The family love, but selfishness and indifference still made her lose to fear.

Among the four women, the only one who really understands love is Anna, a low-status maid. Some people say that her last half-naked image is the love of the Virgin Mary , I don't think it's an exaggeration.

    1. A movie full of extreme emotions such as pain, despair, alienation, holiness, and destructive power. 2. Striking red: transitions, wallpaper, curtains, carpets, a quartet of women in white. 3. Bergman, who is best at taking face shots: exposes the character's soul with a long close-up mirror, which is similar to [Mask]. 4. Anna embraced the resurrected Agnes naked in her arms, paying tribute to the Pieta. 5. Morning Mist Manor and the short and beautiful ending, the clock is the same as [Wild Strawberry]. (9.5/10)

    Re-watch; the red that is spread out in large areas symbolizes fierce disputes, and the black and white costumes represent indifference and rejection. The facial close-up of the painful cry at the time of the onset tore the disguise in one fell swoop, "I never loved you", so the stroking and hugging are delusions. Lost communication and understanding, the swing talk in the autumn only exists in the diary.

Cries & Whispers quotes

  • Isak: Agnes, my dear child, listen to what I tell you now. Pray for those of us left behind on this dark and miserable earth beneath a cruel and empty sky. Lay your suffering at God's feet and plead with him to pardon us. Plead with him to free us of our anxiety, our weariness, and our deepest doubts. Plead with him to give meaning to our lives.

  • Karin: It's a web of lies, all of it.
