CC Bergman suit, 8.2 points. Movies are magic, and the director is both a magician and a clown. Since he is a clown, he is destined to wander all his life, send away the old, welcome the new, and continue to embark on our lonely journey in the hustle and bustle. Therefore, the tears of the clown/magician and Nordgren's music, whose pride is worthless, is a real highlight (the composer has clearly made a breakthrough in style), Fisher's photography is a wonderland (especially the one in the woods), and death (after the seventh seal) continues to spread here, pale face The big feature is undoubtedly a dumb magician, Sydow relies on eyes and face to perform, makeup and performance are excellent, Wifstrand is a veritable old drama bone "I make a better ghost than human being", this is the artist's compromise A shameful confession? The magician is humiliated in public, but the revenge of the natural power can be seen immediately. Where is the boundary between reality and magic? The last one-man show of Dr. Vergerus in the attic (strictly speaking, there is also a magician, but Bjornstrand's performance held up the audience) has a strong atmosphere of horror (psychological thriller of sound and picture) When the magician has to mourn in front of reality, bow his head, bend over, And picked up the coin, the rout of the juggling (art) really made people cry bitterly in their hearts When the carriage rides away, only the swaying street lamps are left in the silent picture, squeaking in the distance. sound. Echoing the intention of the wild strawberry, this is the shadow of death at work, right?

The Magician quotes

  • Johan Spegel: [Vogler has come across a sick man lying in the forest near the road] Good day, sir. My name is Johan Spegel. I am very ill, as you can see. Would you alleviate my suffering with a little brandy? For brandy is my infirmity, but its remedy too.

    Johan Spegel: [Vogler gives the man some brandy, which seems to revive him] I am an actor. In fact, a member of the famous Stenbourg troupe. But my illness has put an end to my career.

    Johan Spegel: [Vogler helps the man to his feet, whereupon Spegel takes a closer look at Vogler] Are you an actor too?

    Johan Spegel: [Vogler mutely shakes his head "no"] Then why the disguise? Your beard is fake, and your eyebrows and hair are dyed. Are you a swindler who must conceal his true face?

  • Tubal: [the magician Vogler and his entourage have been detained at Consul Egerman's residence for an informal questioning before they will be allowed to perform their act in the town] All of you keep quiet. I'll do the talking.

    Tubal: [goes and sits down by Granny Vogler] I must especially ask Granny to keep her trap shut. And another thing: Granny can make things jump around. Granny knows what I mean. Tables go flying, chairs fall over, lights go out. We all know Granny's tricks, but be good and behave... for all our sakes.

    Granny Vogler: Yes, I understand... perhaps.

    Tubal: God, this woman makes me nervous. Remember what you did in Ostend?

    Granny Vogler: No, I don't believe I do.

    Tubal: Granny's tricks are out of date. They're not amusing, and they can't be explained. Granny ought to be dead.

    Granny Vogler: [chuckling] Ah, those were merry times in Ostend.

    Tubal: I was thrown in the clink, Vogler was fined, and Granny was flogged in the town square. Yes, those were merry times in Ostend!
