Shouts are red, whispers are white

Not suitable for children. patients should not.
Bloodthirsty is not suitable. Hypocrites should not.
Not suitable for loners. Not suitable for indulgences.
Not suitable for atheists. Not for the devout.
Not idealists. Nothingness is not suitable.
Then there must be such a small group of people who have been selected and called to come here through various paths to worship Berman's video cult.

It's so painful, so I have to resort to such a cry. It tears everything. Bergman's red amniotic fluid was broken, and four women flowed out of it: the dying female patient, the sisters who hated each other, the husband and wife who were scrambling between infatuation and indifference... The terrifying breath of death mixed with frantic and suppressed erotic turmoil, It's all wrapped up in the film's silent, no-nonsense shell. When people struggle to squeeze through the long and narrow corridor, can they really reach the eternal tranquility? The tolerance and salvation given by that Virgin-like female body...

And did that pure white sweet whisper really exist? Such as the touch and forgiveness between women, such as the slender skirts on the spring grass, such as the gently swinging swing...

    Bergman described in an almost naturalistic way that terminal cancer patients are step by step towards the end of their lives in debilitating and severe pain. For this reason, he must use beautiful pictures and bright colors to reconcile them, so as not to make people fall into the right. The fear of death and the despair of life.

    The quietness and nature at the end, this uneasy confusion has always entangled you and me, and now I can't forgive myself, and I can't be the same as before. The distance between people can be easily developed under the master-level scheduling of Bergman. Even the best memories will be washed away by time. This dazzling color lighting seems to tell us that happiness is always there, and how many people can truly understand. Only a sigh.

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.
