A few days ago Martin Scorsese published an article titled "I Said Marvel Movies Are Not Movies, Let Me Explain", in which Ma Lao mentioned a point that the movie should be the Holy Trinity, it should be Takov A combination of Schi, Fellini, and Bergman. This sentence of Ma Lao should be translated into a film should be a combination of time, space, and implication. As a master of time control, Bergman has reached the pinnacle of mastering time. The most representative work should be this "Wild Strawberry".
"Wild Strawberry" is Bergman's representative work. His shooting method can be said to be impeccable and unique. The use of psychological montage in the film not only brings dreams and memories to the audience, but the most exciting thing is the blending of illusion and reality. This inspiration may come from the inheritance of Yuanyuan's art. Painters like to integrate themselves into paintings. For example, Goya in "The Family of Charles IV", Isaac has a dialogue with memories in the film, and the deceased in dreams continue to face each other. This work can be said to be a textbook of psychological montage techniques.
Here we mainly talk about the use of time, which is worth learning from many contemporary filmmakers. Here is a sentence that Director Ang Lee’s idol is Bergman. Perhaps this is why Lee Ang’s lecture story is so good. A dream runs through the film, which is Isaac's first dream before departure. I picked up three points at once:
1. Timing tools without hands.
2. Walking alone on the street.
3. Another Isaac in the coffin.
First of all, the second and third points are to express the core ideas of the film. Isaac’s indifferent character and easy-to-common sense have caused his career success and life failure, so loneliness is the most important thing to Isaac. Cruel punishment. On the other hand, there is the fear of death. Time and achievement are not compatible with each other. People use time in exchange for achievement, but when time dries up, they will inevitably have fear of death. This is the theme of this movie and everyone understands it. The place.
Only this first point is the most confusing. What does a clock without hands represent?
Personally think this is a combination of film technique and time use
1. First of all, people can feel temperature, touch, smell, sound and many other material feelings, but only the sensory organs without time. The definition of time can be divided into psychological time and cosmological time (cosmological time is easy to understand It is our normal timekeeping and psychological time is a distorted concept of time. The time in each person is different, and the time in different scenes is different. For example, the time of the elderly is like a month, and the time will pass by beautiful women. Fast), a clock without hands is abandoning the cosmological time-based method and replacing it with psychological time. Bergman throwing out a clock without hands is to separate time, transform our time to Isaac, and use Isaac's time to narrate.
2. In terms of film technique, a clock without pointers can be used as a moral. In this film, time is chaotic. Without the auxiliary machine of a clock, one would not know which space-time orbit one is in and recall dreams in the film. With the three-way mixing of reality, time has long become blurred and incomprehensible. Bergman simply used semiotics to remove the concept of time from the audience's mind, and time, the master of all things, fell in front of Bergman.
Bergman's mastery of time has become the pinnacle of world cinema and has a profound impact on future generations, telling the story of time for generations of filmmakers.
