    Bergman's "The Shining" explores the abnormal changes of the human spirit in a claustrophobic environment. The title that appeared in the middle section divides the whole film into two diametrically opposed parts, just as the jackal moment at midnight serves as the boundary between the death of the old man and the birth of a baby. At the same time, this film, like "Fin and Asia", is full of the author's own inner trauma. Fellini has a circus, and Bergman is a puppet show. In addition, was...

    4.0 strong photography and stage-style art make up for the rigid parts of editing transitions and surreal expressions. The music sequences are very theatrical. The magic flute element/face/close-up/light/ are all Bergman’s favorite. Bar. I just feel that watching the heroine's hopeless and morbid love for someone is very, very malady, and the depression makes people feel super uncomfortable.... Even after watching this film in such a high state, I still feel that I need to go out for a...

    The most anticipated Bergman is a bit less than expected, but I don't know what I'm looking forward to. The hallucination part is too wonderful, the castle and the woods, but the reality part does not seem to be so strong. The anxiety about creation and emotional anxiety, many things are internalized, and only a little clue is visible in the hallucination. Hope to see something fuller and want to give this film an emotional amplifier, but this is for me, the picture is irreproachable, is it the...

    6/16 @Tianshan 7 points. The claustrophobic story of Lone Island Artist is particularly familiar, but it doesn't feel much on the screen. The dark side of human nature was gradually awakened, and finally was summoned in the early hours of the silent morning (Vargtimmen). Art’s obedience to capital and power, and the unresolved guilt and unhappiness of the past will finally manifest. Favorite rock play / cave play....

    'humiliation'...

  • Devante 2022-12-11 06:49:16

    In a sense, it re-constructs the experience form of "Masquerade" with popular dramatic texts. Perhaps only under the black and white development aesthetics with absolute binary contrast, this film can completely "thrill". Infiltrating ordinary scenes and vulgar faces. From "Silence" to "Masquerade" to "Jackal Hour", watching these three works as the axis is likely to be an opportunity for the audience to re-understand Bergman as a director....

    8. Very German expressionism...

    real. Horror film. Unfortunately, the structure is fragmented. However, editing and dazzling, I like the scenes of interlaced dialogues at the first-time castle dinner, and I also like the puppet show and the interpretation of Papageno in "The Magic Flute". I'm not sure if I like the crows and large numbers of pigeons, but I feel like seeing the shadows of many other works. Why is the male protagonist named John Berg, who instantly traveled to the world of...

    An artist’s self-analysis, he hopes to transcend the worldly life and pursue the most beautiful inner purity, but he unconsciously falls into the trap of desire. He longs for the approval of others, but can hardly resist the erosion of vanity, Bergman’s subconscious nightmare of employing people And surrealism to show a person’s process of madness, fear of the future and the inability to let go of the nightmare of the past, when the jackal moment is about to come, Bergman throws himself into...

    It's a little fictitious, but what is commendable is the shooting technique. The shaking footage of the dinner party cleanly edited the old woman and the overexposed murder footage. This is not...

    Vampire

    In Bergman's Vampire movie, vampires and cannibals appear in the "wolf moment" at night, as well as birdmen and insects. The comments all use the word "Gothic", which may refer to the similarity of atmosphere.

       "Over there", the castle on the desert island is very old, full of aggressive vampire...

    Puppet: an essay on uncanny life

    Standing before the temple of wisdom, the young hero Tamino laments the darkness, wondering if daylight will ever reach his eyes, and whether his beloved is alive. The tiny puppet enters the stage slid along a groove, like a paper cutout, but we quickly see that Tamino is a living performer singing...
