psychodrama

The nurse looks after an actress who has psychological problems, but the nurse herself has psychological problems. She was a troubled person, and art gave her comfort. She believes that the artist who creates art must also have the deepest compassion for human beings. Take care of an artist and reveal yourself to her. Made her feel involved and shared with the art itself. However, what artists lack most is the fresh and honest love for human beings. They can observe, analyze and create not because they are too enthusiastic, but because they are too indifferent. She was humiliated by the fact that the nurse was the subject of the artist's analysis. However, the nurses themselves are not innocent and not entirely the victim. In front of the artist she thought would understand her, she had the desire to speak, and she also fulfilled the desire to speak. In addition to dredging her desires, she also hopes that the artist can treat herself and her the same, and she thinks she is qualified. As for why you think you are good enough? I think it's because she feels that she is as neurotic as an artist. To put it mildly, she has the same subtle sense of touch to test the external environment. It's just that the artist didn't take her seriously at all, and the artist thought they were far apart. The artist observes the nurse in a very superior state of mind, as he observes a thing.
The nurse had a contest with the artist. The artist's silence made her feel hurt and made her feel small and worthless. And the artist, who considers her pain superior and her silence a privilege, does not allow anyone to force her to speak. Both women were manly, both were aggressive, and both smoked. The two women are very similar to each other. The tendentious language of the film reveals the reasons for the artist's silence. The reason is that she cannot face her indifference. At the beginning of the film, the doctor also made an analysis, thinking that it was because the actors were caught in the huge contrast between the stage and reality, which led to the crisis of identity confirmation. The two have something in common.
Vanity, indifference, cocooning. This is the character of the characters in the film.
The film is fascinating because I like to peep into people's hearts. The silent actress, the exhibitionist nurse, are all characters that attract people for psychological exploration. But, the problem is that the characters themselves are empty and boring, so the answers are boring. I'm not a very conservative and rigid audience, and I'm not keen on the pursuit of so-called essence, meaning and value. I just think that since the film wants to show something about people, it can't use boring people as the protagonists. Two women have no life, no content, that's a problem.

Persona quotes

  • Sister Alma: Elisabet? Can I read you something from my book? Or am I disturbing you? It says here:"All the anxiety we bear with us, all our thwarted dreams, the incomprehensible cruelty, our fear of extinction, the painful insight into our earthly condition, have slowly eroded our hope of an other-wordly salvation. The howl of our faith and doubt against the darkness and silence, is one of the most awful proofs of our abandonment and our terrified, unuttered knowledge." Do you think it's like that?

  • Sister Alma: Karl-Henrik and I rented a cottage by the sea once. It was June, and we were all alone. One day, when Karl-Henrik had gone into town, I went to the beach on my own. It was a warm and lovely day. There was another girl there. She'd paddled over from another island because our beach was sunnier and more secluded. We lay there, sunbathing beside one another, complete naked, dozing now and then, putting suntan lotion on. We had those cheap straw hats on, you know? I had a blue ribbon around mine. I lay there peeping out from under my hat at the landscape and the sea and the sun. It was kind of funny. Suddenly I saw two figures leaping about on the rock above us. They would hide and then peek out. "There's a couple of boys looking at us," I told the girl. Her name was Katarina. "Let them look," she said, and turned over on her back. It was a strange feeling. I wanted to jump up and put my robe on but I just lay there on my stomach with my bottom in the air, not at all embarrassed, completely calm. Katarina lay there next to me the whole time, with her breasts and thick thighs. She just lay there sort of giggling to herself. I noticed that the boys had come closer. They just stood there looking at us. I noticed they were terribly young. Then one of them - the more daring of the two - came up and squatted down next to Katarina. He pretended to be busy picking at his toes. I felt so strange. Suddenly I heard Katarina say, "Hey, why don't you come over here?" She took him by the hand and helped him off with his jeans and shirt. Then suddenly he was on top of her. She guided him in with her hands on his behind. The other boy just sat on the slope and watched. I heard Katarina whisper in the boy's ear and laugh. His face was right next to mine. It was red and swollen. Suddenly I turned over and said, "Aren't you coming over to me too?" And Katarina said, "Go to her now." He pulled out of her and fell on top of me, completely hard. He grabbed my breast. It hurt so bad. I was ready somehow and came almost at once. Can you believe it? I was about to say, "Careful you don't get me pregnant" when he suddenly came. I felt it like never before in my life, the way he sprayed his seed into me. He gripped my shoulders and arched backward. I came over and over. Katarina lay on her side and watched and held him from behind. After he came, she took him in her arms and used his hand to make herself come. When she came, she screamed like a banshee. Then all three of us started laughing. We called to the other boy, who was sitting on the slope. His name was Peter. He came down, looking all confused and shivering despite the sunshine. Katarina unbuttoned his pants and started to play with him. And when he came, she took him in her mouth. He bent down and kissed her back. She turned around, took his head in both hands, and gave him her breast. The other boy got so excited that he and I started all over again. It was just as good as before. Then we went for a swim and parted ways. When I got home, Karl-Henrik was already back from town. We ate dinner and drank some red wine he'd brought. Then we had sex. It's never been as good, before or since. Can you understand that?
