Real Life and Movies - "Marriage Life" and a Possible Marriage

It's a good movie. Aside from its status in film history, its significance in Bergman's work and life, and its seemingly unquestionable status given to it by history, this is still a good movie. Because although HE and SHE in the movie are fictional, everyone can see a little or a lot of truth in them, thinking that they represent themselves or their married life, and the relationship between men and women to some extent.

How amazing.

The nearly three-hour film is filled with tedious dialogue, the cinematography and editing look as simple as a home video, devoid of pornography and violence, but can spark discussions for decades. It really feels like an amazing movie.

Although the male and female protagonists are distant, Swedish couples more than 40 years ago, it feels like they can always find their shadows from the couples or lovers around.

HE said in front of others that he was very successful, a good employee in the eyes of his boss, a good husband in the eyes of his wife, a good father in the eyes of his children, and a good son in the eyes of his parents, but he secretly wrote and wrote poems, and dared not show it to his wife. She secretly ran out to find other women, and said to herself, "Ah, this person is my true love, I can't stand my life now, I can't stand it for a day. All my pain comes from this woman, I have to leave. She. Although that girl is not good-looking and mature and fierce, but it makes me feel very happy in my sex life!" I feel that the man is in his 40s, and suddenly he finds himself middle-aged, and suddenly finds that it is very possible before. The realized dream is so far away from you, you will feel that this life that you can see to the end is brought by your wife, and it is brought by the immutable marriage, so you want to cheat and pursue true love? Even if you go out of the household, you feel that it doesn't matter if you mention the economic requirements casually, and you just want to break away from your married life? After the excitement and novelty of cheating wear off, I realize, alas, life is still the same. Even because of derailment or divorce or something, the children can't be seen, the house can't be lived, the money has become less, life is not only hopeless or even worse, so I want to go back to my wife.

As for women, they will be more preoccupied, a bit like the economic man of the whole family. I hope to plan a better future for my family, especially my children, and let the people around me not gossip. So arrange parties, manage family relationships, take care of children, work to earn money, and worry about a lot of busyness. But a lot of times, my husband is slowly becoming invisible, and I really don't have the time and energy to pay attention to my husband's emotional state. After all, being a family broker, raising children, going to work, and taking on some family manual labor is very tiring. You may keep telling yourself that your life and family are better than others, or at least not worse than others. Your own efforts are very valuable, Barabara. But the husband cheated and announced that he was going to leave the family, and all the friends around him knew about the situation, which was basically equivalent to passively being notified of the bankruptcy and dissolution of the family. As an agent, it must be very broken. I feel that my years of hard work and work have not only been in vain, but also that I am complacent without knowing it, so I have to see a psychiatrist or something.

But after the breakup, the wife can act as an agent again, create a family, or run a family without a husband, or realize the instability of the role of an agent, so she can give up the role of a family agent and focus on herself instead . In short, with the change of time, more or less will find self-confidence, or find self? And the cheating husband, unless he is a well-known director like Bergman, for ordinary people, the future will not be bright, and there will be no real love. Gradually realize that the possibility or self-confidence of childhood is originally a fairy tale made up by adults, or continue to self-hypnotize into fairy tales, or accept this life with bleak prospects. I feel that the last part of the male protagonist humming is a state that both of them have in common. Everyone said that Bergman's last marriage lasted long and did not break up again. I think that after four divorces, the pursuit of marriage, love, or the pursuit of one's own future will be somewhat bleak, so that you can live in peace with reality.

One of the things that is overlooked in the movie, and the reason why I don't want to give it five points, is that people in the real world will grow old. For nearly ten years before and after, the male and female protagonists have the same appearance, the same comfortable life and sexual desire. But in real life, repeated quarrels and contradictions may be very damaging to both parties. Ten years from now, women may be aging and men may be penniless.

Although derailment or divorce may bring growth or new possibilities, during this period, people's body and spirit will grow old, and it is not recommended to choose.
