I don't know how many people who have watched the film have a terrible feeling about marriage, why women deceive themselves and annihilate their hearts in order to obey men, and men get tired and even run away because of the trivial life day after day until they are exhausted. Only after trying to sign the divorce agreement will they cheat on each other in a free identity.
Frankly speaking, I'm not completely unable to understand any part of it. On the contrary, there are still many plot details that can be resonated, and this may be the scary part. Bergman is completely aware of the marriage between the man and the woman. Any situation that may happen in the relationship, although you deny that the tragic track will be played out by yourself, you will find a mark that coincides with yourself somewhere unconsciously.
The master who has experienced five marriages may be completely disappointed in marriage, so he is so sharp and insightful, but it is too cruel.
When I got home yesterday, I had a discussion with S about it. S explained his box theory, meaning that it was enough to figure out the outer shape of the box. , When appreciating literary and artistic works, the most important thing is to appreciate the appearance presented by the director and discover the various consequences that will be caused in various situations and environments, and it is not meaningful to dig the so-called "things behind".
Whether the theory is convincing or not, it is only applied in "Marriage Landscape", which may be a kind of inspiration for us.
Don't define whether Bergman is trying to teach us that unfettered relationships are the closest we can get, and don't generalize whether true love is about holding your breath or chattering. These too deep and decisive notions of judgment just confuse our own thinking and feeling.
So, all we have to do is observe the "landscape". Seeing the contradictions, entanglements, back-and-forth and pain of a wealthy middle-class model couple of ten years contains all the problems that we may encounter in a dozen or even decades. So huge and ferocity unfolded before us.
If this grand marital entanglement is a mottled box, then we can accept it as the box itself, and trying to find any evidence from the box to draw any conclusions is actually arrogant arrogance.
I hope that saying this can bring a glimmer of hope out of Bergman's despair, laughing.
