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!

    "It feels so good to be a rogue..." Love is at the moment, love is very simple, life and feelings are like this. "Love is 4" super long trailer.

    1. I watched the TV series. Bergman, who has been married 5 times, said almost everything about marriage. The 6 episodes not only depict the separation, gathering and dispersal process of a pair of lovers, but also represent the six aspects of marriage and love. Types/States: Harmony and perfection, bright on the outside and decayed on the inside, disintegrating due to boredom and deceit, endless entanglement, frank and rude love, murder and torture, cheating and falling in love again. 2. Indoor dramas with extremely high purity (only a few transitions have outdoor shots, and the end of each episode is the scenery of Faroe Island, which is desolate and beautiful, for adjustment), with rich dialogues, dense lines, golden sentences repeated, and every word is pearly. 3. Liv Ullman and Josephson are so good that even in a lot of close-ups, I can't pick out any faults. 4. Excerpts from the highlights of each episode: ①Introduction and irony from the interview with a model couple at the beginning, couples who hate each other but are inseparable from each other = extreme example of marriage; ②A middle-aged woman who is determined to divorce because of lack of love = early warning + profile; ③ The zooming and quick push is terrifying, and the rapid follow-up in the close-up is irritable; ④ The photo montage of Uman's growth while reading the diary; ⑤ The double composition & status reversal; (9.5/10)

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.
