Others are hell

Bergman's films are very personal. His films expressed his heart, such as the lack of fatherly love when he was young, which was expressed in his "Wild Strawberry". He has also been discussing the issue of religious beliefs. In the film, there are very few scenes, and most of the other off-screen scenes are expressed through the characters' words. For example, in "Masquerade", the nurse and the actress are always indoors, but in the audience's imagination, there are naked men and women on the sea and beach.
If you don't know Bergman, you're not in a good mood, and watching his movies is exhausting and a little lethargic. "Still in the Mirror" Everyone is looking at themselves in front of the mirror. There are thousands of knots in their hearts and they can't break free, so they make excuses to escape.
Everyone has psychological problems, no one can live a perfect life, no one has far-sighted, and there must be near-term worries. So, when you are chasing fame and fortune in the flashy, look back and pay attention to your heart, you don’t care and no one cares. Others are hell.

    In the process of watching the movie, I tried to use Foucault's "Crazy and Civilization" to interpret the connection between madness, religion, and divine revelation. It was not until the end of the movie that I felt that I had misunderstood Bergman before. Going to the form of the movie and directly reading the core of the movie, the plots are just philosophical propositions. It is better to add a philosopher instead of Bergman.

Through a Glass Darkly quotes

  • David: We draw a magic circle and shut out everything that doesn't agree with our secret games. Each time life breaks the circle, the games turn grey and ridiculous. Then we draw a new circle and build a new defense.

    Karin: Poor little daddy.

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