The truth and falsehood of married life

From the beginning of "Autumn Sonata", I have experienced Bergman's profound skills in shooting dialogues in daily life, and the large dialogues in "Marriage Life" are not disappointing. Except for the other family who appeared in front of him, we directly stabbed the brokenness out: we are all children, and there was no one to comfort her when she cried; it seems that countless "before devoice" conversations have been staged, and even if there are other sporadic appearances later People, children, friends, lovers... there are only two of them, as if they all swayed, separated, turbulent, but inevitably became the same axis. As said in "Breaking Bergman", this is a movie that transforms the common married life into a complex trajectory. It does not give a happy ending after hysteria like "Marriage Story", but here On this basis, continue to discuss and verify the fragility, repetition and certain inevitability of the relationship: even if the social contract is completely deconstructed at the end, they are still together - out of sex, out of selfishness, out of memory, out of youth, Out of the need to be a "person". As a result, Bergman at least mixes marriage, human being, love, relationship, and sex, and faithfully chords joy/drama and reality, presenting a "married life": marriage allows us to become the ordinary ordinary person of happiness. Human? Nothingness and falsehood are not the same thing to 8.
