In the eighth minute, at the dinner, their friends, Katarina and Peter, the hurt between the couple was like a virus, contagious to them. As a result, they have bickering, from each other's different views on the government to family life to sex life.
The subsequent episode is that John finally told Marianne about his extramarital affair. I was very sad to see that part. John said:
"I fell in love with someone else, ... (a bunch of explanations and statements,)"
Marianne pretended to be calm, He said softly:
"It's funny, I didn't notice anything, I didn't doubt it at all, everything looked the same as usual, you've always been considerate, and I'm a stupid and blind fool, do you want a divorce? Are you going to marry Is she?"
John planned to travel to Paris with his new love the next day, and Marianne just said lightly after hearing it:
"It's getting late, go to bed, I guess you have to get up early tomorrow."
So I got up and packed things calmly. I think I can understand the turbulence in her heart at the moment. All the calmness in her behavior is because her heart has been turbulent to an extreme. Marianne even worried about John's various outfits for Paris tomorrow, and set the alarm clock for him, and in John's eyes, her actions and words were all annoying nagging, no love, what to say and do Everything is wrong. Although she has been pretending to be calm in front of John, she is hysterical at home alone after calling a friend, biting the back of her hand to suppress her cry, and also wants the physical pain to dampen the inner pain a little.
Six months later, John returned from Paris, met Marianne and officially separated. After a while, they met again, in John's office, to sign the divorce papers, and this time Marianne was obviously in high spirits, she had come out of John's mental bondage, she said she felt free, and then John was hysterical, he was furious, he said he couldn't bear the new love anymore, but it was too late, he couldn't keep Marianne. Sign, divorce.
Seven years later, two people who have been divorced for many years have a new family, but a chance encounter in the theater intertwines their lives again. The two of them made an appointment with a friend's wooden house by the sea. The house was unexpectedly messy, and the two decided to clean up. He whistled lightly, swept the floor, and tidied up the fireplace, not noticing that she was looking at him. She watched, tears streaming down her face.
Without marriage, they are more intimate and tolerant.
The film truly shows the dilemma of relationships and marriages between men and women.
He fell asleep while his wife was reading her diary and her husband was revealing his heart, and every time that husband came to visit, he had to have a physical relationship with a woman, and he couldn't bear the woman becoming a free woman after leaving him. Think this woman has always been yours, divorced or not.
A man's purpose is possession, a woman's purpose is attachment, a man thinks, a woman feels. Only when there is a physical relationship and talking about money will you really take each other's words as a matter of fact.
Dou Wentao often says that such property-based monogamy is against human nature. Those who persist in marriage for a lifetime are admirable. In fact, I always suspect that love and marriage are contradictory, and it is impossible for one person to be in a perfect state with another person all the time.
Morality and love, aren't they opposites?
Bergman's own married life probably taught him that the best way to get along with his wife is to divorce her and make her someone else's wife.
