    A minimalist Bergman film, without the obscure chords that followed him, but very moving, especially the shot of Monica turning around and looking at the camera, definitely one of the most powerful shots in film history, that is to the morals of the audience. A fearless response to questioning. It was also Bergman's own favorite film, but he kept going. Personally, I feel that the Darnay brothers' films have inherited the mantle of this film to some extent after many...

    Living and being lived are two completely different attitudes. Harry also longs to live, but as a man, his unavoidable need to be lived is, and this is something Monica can't stand. Such is Berman's pessimistic attitude from beginning to end, that the family politics of romantic swingers and tragic men of society must never breed...

    Harriet Andersson! The moment she looks directly at the audience through the camera lens in the cafe is a classic in film history. There's also a picture of Harry driving the dinghy and Monika lying on the front deck of the dinghy with her shirt open. There is also Monika's posture of wandering in the bedroom alone, disheveled. The necessary stages of growth for a girl who is loved and...

    [Beijing Film Festival Screening] After being fed dog food for an hour, it finally ushered in an unexpected ending. The male protagonist is becoming mature, and Monica is not bad, but young and self-indulgent and unwilling to be restrained. The style of the two elopement is very romantic, even if they fight and steal, they are so fierce and just. Because of the splendid bloom of love, the flashback at the end of the film also makes people sigh with emotion. The stare of the male and female...

    stay away from bad girls

    The master used this film to write about a woman's infidelity. As the eldest daughter, Monica grew up in a big family with many children. Her father was often drunk and scolded, but she was still romantic. Noisy, there is no loneliness of an only child. Monica was born in the lower class but did...

    The cultural power of film

    The film tells a Western-style liberal romantic love story. From falling in love, getting married, and getting divorced, it embodies the charm of personality freedom. However, in terms of narration, it is mixed with Eastern implicitness, giving the film a poetic aesthetic, and creating an artistic...

    Harry Lund: Like you said that time at the cafe: "Let's go away!" Let's forget about all those bastards.

    Monika Eriksson: I hate them. Everyone who holds us back, who wants us to grovel.

    Harry Lund: Let them scurry around like rats - - we won't be there.

  • Harry Lund: Imagine them slaving away at Forsberg's now.

    Monika Eriksson: And down in that old cellar, carrying crates around in the dust and dirt.

    Harry Lund: We've rebelled, Monika, against all of them.
