Whether it is narrative structure, picture composition or photography lighting, it is a classic that surpasses the times.

(9/10) 1. Sjostrom's most representative work, the second exposure recorded in film history, the cold and warm colors distinguish the scene, the flashback and flashback make the story rich and full, the director's own performance is very superb, the restoration The soundtrack after the release is excellent. 2. Confession and redemption, continue to write personal life with ancient legends, and tell the story of flashbacks that continue to deepen the confession-style "memoirs". 3. The source of inspiration for the axe splitting the door in "The Shining", inspired Bergman's "Wild Strawberry" and "The Seventh Seal". 4. Compared with Bergman and Kubrick's despair all the way to the end, Sjostrom believes more in the light of human nature, which can eventually be redeemed.
