Sweet Life

First time watching a Bergman film. Because it is the topic of marriage and chatter movies that I am concerned about. But by the second half hour of the film, I was really drowsy.
The seemingly perfect and happy married life is often full of holes, but these undercurrents are unknown. Take the lyrics in the undercurrent of super love Yaoming: There is no reason, there can be no undercurrent in love. Admittedly, this is not a pessimistic tone.
So the details are true, and Liv Uman has the same problems her firm's clients have: decent jobs, gracious husbands, vacation cabins and lovely children, and what's there to complain about? They are not crazy, the marriage is coming to an end in the undercurrent, and what is needed is just an opportunity to change.
So when John met Paula, everything changed. Marianne nearly breaks down as John vividly describes his encounter with Paula. Most of us will experience cruelty once or several times. The person you love becomes strange and unrecognizable at a certain moment. He can't wait to escape from the world with you. The calm and rational conversation is even more maddening, telling you the cruel truth, but you as a victim do not know it. You've played a role that makes you crumble and shame yourself. The light and joy in John's eyes as he thinks back is truly heart-wrenching.
John rebuked Marianne: I know what you're thinking? You're thinking God, what's going on here? My parents, my kids, my friends know all this, what should I do?
Love makes us meet each other, but also makes us hurt each other. We all get carried away at some point and hurt someone who loves you cruelly and beyond measure. These are really unforgivable.
The long-term estrangement and the fading of passion began to make John long for Marian's body and soul, and the mutual escape was returned in an almost cheating scene.
In the end, what should the understanding of each other's marriage be? It is nothing more than an intimtate relationship, and mutual comfort is actually more difficult than desire.
I was still young, and I didn’t dare to run away from the essence of marriage. I could only feel it with my intuition. The worst scene is just that the friends of the John Mariannes are just scolding each other, "I'd rather sleep with a male prostitute to wipe away the disgusting traces you left in my vagina". The sadness of marriage is just that!

    I've never been married, I don't have any experience, and I don't want to believe it's a fact. If it is true, I wish it was only part of it. This is Europe, I just want to talk about the love of my parents, married at 23 years old, 74 years old this year, 50 years of marriage, they have witnessed them love and respect each other for decades, and they will also complain about each other, but they have never beaten or scolded each other. When my father is sick, my mother takes care of me in every possible way. When my mother is sick, my father never leaves. They love each other more than they love themselves. I am really grateful to grow up in such a loving environment and learn to be a person and learn to live. The heroine in the movie is very obvious that the mental problems are buried in the family education since childhood. The self-analysis part is too important. All the commenters don't need to see through marriage. Marriage is the grave of love. There is a lot more to marriage besides sex. Sex is important, and more importantly, love. Love is the foundation of everything. With love, marriage is the sublimation of love. The movie is just the director's wish, I still choose to believe in love, and start with being myself.

Scenes from a Marriage quotes

  • Marianne: I felt inadequate at work and at home, and I was a washout in bed too. I was hedged in by all the griping and endless demands! Goddamn you! Was it so strange that I used sex for leverage? I was outnumbered, having to fight you, both sets of parents and society! When I think about what I endured, I could scream! I tell you this: never again! You sit there whining about conspiracies. Well, it serves you right! I hope you'll have it rammed down your throat that you're a useless parasite.

    Johan: You're being utterly grotesque!

    Marianne: So what? That's what I've become!

  • Marianne: Sometimes you ask such goddamn silly questions.

    Johan: Sorry. Are you angry with me?

    Marianne: I'm not angry, but I'm on the verge of tears. The trouble with me is that I can't get angry. I wish that for once in my life I could really lose my temper, as I sometimes feel I have every right to. I think it would change my life. But that's not the point. You spoke earlier about loneliness. That bit about being strong on your own. I don't believe in your gospel of isolation.I think it's a sign of weakness.

    Johan: What's wrong, Marianne?

    Marianne: It's so... humbling.

    Johan: What's humbling?

    Marianne: I think about you... and I think about myself and about the future. I can't see how you're going to cope without me. Sometimes I think in desperation, "I must look after Johan. He's my responsibility. It's up to me to make sure he's all right. That's the only our lives will be worthwhile."

    Marianne: I don't believe people are strong all on their own. You have to have someone's hand to hold.
