still in the mirror

In my opinion, the title of the film "Still in the Mirror" may also be used to describe the relationship between the characters. The three men in the family can still maintain the world they live in, so the sick Karin is a "mirror" for them to compare, observe and correct. When looking at the abnormal, people can also discover their own strangeness. Through getting along with Karin, they dig out the true essence of their innermost beings, reflect on them, and achieve transformation. Even if this arc is so small that it is almost invisible, it is still irreversible.

    The first of the "God's Inspiration" trilogy, an exquisite indoor psychological quartet. The rapid disintegration that shocked me: Incest Overture-V-frame outside the ship, heavy rain, like a double jump of light, shadow and sound. The twisted and distorted mind is externalized by tilting the cabin and the keel. Cracks in the wall, praying to the door, indifferent affection, the helicopter buzzing in silence; God is a spider, and God is in love. | Artist: The world will eventually forget me, only death will cherish me. (9.0/10)

    Bergman made this minimalist, philosophical indoor psychodrama completely at his fingertips, and the camera lighting was at its peak.

Through a Glass Darkly quotes

  • Karin: Funny, you always say and do the very right thing... and it's always wrong.

  • David: We draw a magic circle and shut out everything that doesn't agree with our secret games. Each time life breaks the circle, the games turn grey and ridiculous. Then we draw a new circle and build a new defense.

    Karin: Poor little daddy.

    David: Yes, poor little daddy, forced to live in reality.
