European rationalism leads people to nothingness. The neglect of sensibility and human heart leads to spiritual emptiness. Men regard rationality as a value pursuit and spiritual support. Women's reliance on inner emotions is not satisfied, which leads to loneliness and fear. Rationality is only a tool for human survival, and only by returning to sensibility will one be happy.
Regarding communication, everyone is playing their own role, saying the right words and doing the right things. This is only suitable for survival. Even if there is no intersection or silence, both of them will not be alone.
A ruthless man is the core of the film's story. European rationalism may be a bit difficult to understand for Chinese people, but Chinese people value emotions more

    Lies weave this world, God's truth is only in the dark mirror. Among Bergman's works, I personally prefer one, and the stage play is absolutely amazing.

    Religion and belief are so obscure, but in Bergman's lens, they can be seen or even touched! In "Through the Mirror in the Dark," Bergman's camera usage is superb, and the editing is divine. Whether the master uses music to structure the film, or film to structure the music, it's all seamless; impeccable! So much so that every frame is philosophical! ! !

    Karin: Poor little daddy.

    David: Yes, poor little daddy, forced to live in reality.
