CC Bergman suit, 8.4 points.

Dramatic to the full depth of the character's heart/spirit.

Nordic weather, Bach music,

A lost island, a world of introspection,

The relationship of the four people corresponds to the different parts of the string quartet. When the instrumental music is equally famous, it is close to the most thoughtful form of exploring God.

The scene within the play not only corresponds to the father's authorship (the son is also the creator), but also brings out the word and intention of death.

A quiet (deliberately quiet?) world, corresponding to the noise of auditory hallucinations in mental illness, sexless marriages yet manifesting sexual violence in apocalypse (at least Karin thinks so), imaginary gods/beliefs so powerful and brazen ?

The indomitable selfishness and undisclosed dark desires in everyone's heart (the father used his daughter's illness as the theme, and fled twice when his wife and daughter needed it).

Is God a hideous thief?

If love is neither a proof of God's existence nor an embodiment of God himself, where is God (even the slightest trace) in a world where we think the human voice is full of love?

The son closed the door and rushed out of the imprisoned hut (a metaphor for the spiritual cage).

end,

Is the faint sunlight that connects the sky with the rippling lake in the distance outside the window, the dawn of hope in the life of ashes?

The photography is really excellent, and it is a masterpiece that uses light and shadow to express the state of mind.

Through a Glass Darkly quotes

  • Fredrik: I'm an artist.

    Karin: Artist?

    Fredrik: Yes, Princess, a thoroughbred artist: a poet with no poems, a painter with no pictures, a musician with no music. I despise ready... made art, the banal result of vulgar effort. My life is my work and dedicated to my love for you.

  • Karin: Funny, you always say and do the very right thing... and it's always wrong.
