After watching it, I felt like last year's "Benevolent Betrayal", but I didn't expect that its screenwriter was really Bergman! Finally saw a color movie. What to believe in life? Your own emotional intuition? Belief? Or the power of fate. The tragedy that happened to the child is heart-wrenching. This time, I look at the change of death and the tricks of fate from the child's point of view. The surreal phenomenon in the child's eyes seems to reasonably describe the complex emotions in the heart, and I admire all the director's scheduling. Finally, the scene of the special favorite movie (probably the first Bergman color I saw)

    "Anything can happen, everything is possible. Time and space don't exist, and on a meaningless background, imagination is weaving new patterns." The interweaving of reality and dream is part of life, and we have to learn to accept it and perceive it all. The door in the film is the boundary of each world. With the opening and closing of the door, the boundary never seems to exist, and the intercommunication of the world can make us not narrow. I really love the color collision of Bergman's blockbuster red and white.

    I remember when I first watched Bergman's The Seventh Seal, it was deeply obscure. Later, I had some experiences in life, and I felt more and more that Bergman's goodness was directly related to the meaning of life. It's really too late to see "Fanny and Alexander". Bergman has achieved a combination of Shakespeare and Tolstoy, and there is also a combination of mysticism. I haven't found a basis yet. Is this basis a thousand and one nights? Can't tell? Maybe some Hebrew fable.

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Ekdahlska huset - Helena Ekdahl: I loved being a mother. I loved having a big belly. I loved being an actress too, but I preferred being a mother.

  • Emilie Ekdahl - Ekdahlska huset: Your sister gave me sleeping pills for my insomnia. I put three of them in the broth. I did not intend for you to drink it. While you were checking on Elsa, I put three more in. Soon you will sleep very soundly, and when you wake up, I will be gone.
