On July 30, 2007, ten years ago today, Ingmar Bergman died in Faro, Sweden; on the same day, just a few hours later, Michelangelo Antonioni also left in Rome, Italy .

That day, I was in Lhasa.

It has been ten years, and I have been fortunate enough to have seen their films in my life, so I cherish the memory of the masters who will never exist again.

Bergman used religion to tell stories, and he was a believer who questioned his beliefs all his life. The obscurity of the game between the knight and the god of death in "The Seventh Seal", the dialogue between youth and old age in "Wild Strawberry", the questioning of the savior in "Winter Light", and the silent God shown in "Silence" for the struggle between the soul and the body of the sisters and blindness , the violent collision of the free nature and the bondage of marriage in "Bad Girl Monica", "The Virgin Spring" tells a simple story of crime and punishment with a repressive but fascinating plot, and, a masterpiece of five hours The TV version of Fanny and Alexander. There is also my favorite one, the little-known "Dream". The dreams of a girl and a woman are compared with each other. It seems that they do not match each other, but in fact it shows the homecoming from the innocent perspective of animals. .

Antonioni used women to tell stories, and by the hand of God, he used clouds and fog to express the emotional alienation between men and women. "Adventures" expresses the inner monologue of women in black and white, "Night"'s interpretation of icy buildings, "Eclipse" ends on the street where neither of them will come again, "Red Desert"'s exaggerated attempt to color film, "Zoom" In the end, the metaphor of everyone swinging the racket in the tennis court without seeing the ball, the presumptuous flight and the final explosion in "Zabriskie Corner", the peculiar change of angle of the long shot at the end of "Passenger" absent-mindedly expresses the nihilist There is also the blank of the mountain, and the closing work "Days on the Clouds", in the clouds, I stare coldly at the God who is struggling with erotic desires and splits and splits.

In January 2012, in Taipei, after several setbacks, I finally found a collection of pictures about the two immortal film artists in the bookstore.

On July 30, 2007, also on the same day, another old man died. He was the grandfather of "I Love My Family", "Old Man Fu Ming" Wen Xingyu.

Just as Ang Lee was in tears when he visited Bergman on Faroe Island, Tang Wei chose the Faroe Island for his honeymoon. I am very pleased that I took my lover to the place where Antonioni's movie story took place in my lifetime.
