Ingmar Bergman said that "Ghost Carriage" was his favorite movie, and he was shocked by the movie's God cut after watching it for about 20 minutes. The second film after "The World", because of the cutting, made me stunned. In an era when there was no technology to support special effects, they created transparent people and things. Even transitions from the earliest montages were used in the movie.
The storytelling method of the film was also considered novel at that time. It was not the traditional single Gushi line, which unfolded in chronological order, but mixed with stories in the story. A lot of flashbacks were used. method.
Speaking of something that is not very relevant to the movie, maybe because I am not a Christian myself, so I don't really understand Sister Edith's Christlike love for David Holm. Always thinking about saving him, and being obsessed with it, makes me feel a little sick. Consciously love those who need help, feel that I can save them, should save them, and have an obligation to them, is this compensation for what I did not do when I was young? Even the trust in David almost ruined the lives of David's wife and children. Although the movie has a good ending for David, it may not be so easy in real life.
There is a line in the movie that says, I hope that my soul will mature before it is harvested by God, which is almost everyone's expectation.
