I found a very good and careful comment [Original source] "Journal of Beijing Film Academy" 2007, Issue 5, pages 1-10 [Profile of the author] Lin Lin, PhD in Aesthetics, Institute of Philosophy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Wild Strawberries (Wild Strawberries, 1957) is the culmination of Ingmar Bergman's golden age and the most internationally influential of all his films. Jessie Carlin once referred to Bergman's films in the 1950s as "the great gospel", and his typical masterpiece is "Wild Strawberry." The film was shot between July and August 1957 and was released in December of the same year. In June 1958, "Wild Strawberry" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival-the second film in the world to receive this award. At the same time, the film also won similar awards in Italy, Norway, Denmark and the United States. , And was recognized by the film industry as Bergman’s greatest work of art. Robin Wood wrote in the book: "Wild Strawberry" is the most admired creation, "it seems that once it was born, it was destined that no other work could match it. It is a A masterpiece that cannot be challenged." "Wild Strawberry" can receive such praise not only because of its beautiful graphic design, rigorous plot arrangement and outstanding character performance, but also because it can smoothly integrate the past, present and future through dreams. Combining this together, we can narrow the distance between reality and dream, take the journey of chasing self-knowledge as the line, and use dream as the medium for self-analysis, express the emotional call in the form of beauty, and alert people to know themselves and seek the great gospel of mankind. This article only starts with the dream plot in the film and evaluates the beauty of "Wild Strawberry". "Film provides us with a special mandatory aesthetic experience. We can regard it as a form of illusion, similar to the experience of people's daydreams and dreams." As Bergman said, "There is nothing Artistic means can express the characteristics of dreams like a movie. When the lights of the cinema are turned off, the white flashing screen opens to us... We are thrown into things-we become participants in the dream." Ordinary dreams are different from movie dreams. In reality, we cannot directly experience each other's dreams, but can only experience them indirectly by talking to each other. In movies, we can share the same dream. The movie itself is like a daydream, and "Wild Strawberry", which is famous for its dream plot, can be called a "dream in a dream". Almost 1/3 of a person’s life is spent in dreams and dream songs. The same time in dreams is longer than in reality. Some people say that dreams are a secret passage to the subconscious. The analysis of dreams can see the inside of one's own mind, explore the desires and conflicts in the subconscious, so dreams become a revelation of life. Bergman interprets this definition of dreams in the form of art. Using dreams to accomplish self-knowledge is the most eye-catching aspect of "Wild Strawberry". In "Wild Strawberry", the dream plot occupies 1/3 of the whole film, and the balanced development between dream and reality has made "Wild Strawberry" its brilliance in the international film scene. Initiated the "Damascus Journey" of Isaac (The Damascus Journey is derived from the content of Chapter 9 of the "Bible·New Testament·Acts", which describes the process of Saul’s journey to Damascus’ conversion to the Lord. Strindberg once said This theme directed a play called "A Passage to Damascus", which describes a journey of conversion, repentance and confidence-building for a stranger. Similar to "A Passage to Damascus", Bergman's "Wild Strawberry" can also be said to be a An allegory of the movement of the soul. Isaac Borg is the protagonist of the Damascus journey, and he is always present; everyone else is like a signpost for Isaac’s travels, and its design and processing are almost entirely for Isaac The revelatory light helped him reveal his inner world and gain self-knowledge; after a short trip, Isaac reflected on his past, step by step changed the original indifferent attitude towards life, and gained new insights into life. In the process of trying to establish an emotional connection with others, Isaac returned to the spiritual home full of love. The "Journey to Damascus" in "Wild Strawberry" is a story about the movement of the soul and tells the story of the protagonist through Traveling to complete the process of spiritual refuge.) The power of the journey is dreams, which seem to be the code that conveys the information of the human heart. Isaac is trying to find things in his subconscious through the analysis of dreams, and we are also through Isaac’s Dreams peeped into the waves of his mind. Isaac knew himself with the help of "dreams", and we understood Isaac with the help of "dreams". The film begins with Isaac’s dream. The nightmare is the beginning of the trip to Damascus. Afterwards, incidents happened during the trip to the south, which caused waves in Isaac’s mind. He was constantly disturbed by night dreams and daydreams. The dream recorded the subtle changes in his spirit, "My heart is reflected in my dreams, and I can use my dreams like shaving my face in a mirror to see what I am doing." The process of dreams is like Yi Yi The process of Sack's self-knowledge, step by step, deepened, gradually became clear, until the end of the film, Isaac's return to paradise home. Before the trip, Isaac had a nightmare. After the trip, Isaac had a sweet dream. Isaac had a nostalgic dream during the first half of the journey, and Isaac had a nightmare facing judgment during the second half of the journey. The process is like this: Nightmare/Nightmare, Homesickness/Nostalgic Dream, Nightmare/Nightmare, Homesickness/Nostalgic Dream. The first nightmare used the form of apocalypse to alert Isaac that he must know himself; and the vague sense of anxiety and fear brought about by the nightmare forced Isaac into a process of reflection and self-knowledge under the stimulation of Marianne’s straight words. The nostalgic dream is the sign; then, a series of incidents on the way continue to strike Isaac’s chaotic heart, and the second nightmare sent Isaac to the trial seat. , Let him confront himself naked; finally, Isaac saw himself clearly through a dream, he decided to change himself, open himself up, and try to establish emotional connection with others, and finally gained inner peace and entered a sweet dreamland , Gained subconscious peace because of finding the refuge of the soul. The first five-minute dream scene of a nightmare of death is the most famous segment in Bergman's film and the beginning of Isaac's journey to Damascus. . The dream unfolded in vivid black and white, and a series of symbols symbolizing death in the dream gave Isaac a deep awareness of the lost. Isaac was dressed in formal attire and lost his way in Stockholm’s old city alone. There was silence on the streets of the city. He could not hear anything except Isaac’s footsteps. "Silence is absolute. My footsteps echoed almost uncomfortably between the walls of the surrounding buildings. I feel very strange, I don't know what happened." Isaac walked under the sign of a clock and optical shop and looked up. Looking at the big watch without hands, there are big glasses with glasses under the blank dial, and the one on the left is only broken. Isaac took out his watch. Unexpectedly, there was no pointer on his dial. He could not know the exact time. An inexplicable panic accelerated Isaac’s heartbeat (at this moment, we can only hear Isaac in the background. Gram's heartbeat). The strong sunlight scorched Isaac's face, and he hurriedly hid in the shadow of the big clock, looking at the blank dial again, a sense of fear grew spontaneously. Isaac walked nervously on the endless street, unable to find a companion. Suddenly, he saw a man in black standing on the corner of the street with his back facing him. He walked over and patted the man on the shoulder, and a terrible scene appeared: the man had a terrible face, which seemed to be pierced for a moment. The balloon collapsed in a puddle of black liquid at the foot. At this time, the church bell rang, and two black horses came slowly along with a hearse. When they passed the corner, the wheel was jammed by a street light, and one of the wheels came loose and rolled towards Isaac and hit the wall behind him. superior. The huge hearse swayed on three wheels. Suddenly, the coffin fell down and fell to the ground beside Isaac, and the hearse ran away like it was saved. Isaac stood there and saw a hand stretched out from the broken coffin. Curiosity drove him closer to the coffin. He leaned down, and the dead man’s hand suddenly grabbed Isaac’s hand. Ke struggled desperately, the dead body slowly leaned out of the coffin, and Isaac saw that the dead body was himself. A series of premonitions of disaster appeared in this nightmare: First, the ruined street background, the nailed windows and the dead trees on both sides of the church in the distance all showed Isaac's spiritual situation; the watch without pointers suggested that he" No longer have time", symbolizing the end of life; the injured eye under the clock indicates that Isaac is one-eyed or spiritually short-sighted. The symbol here corresponds to the scene in the second nightmare—— Isaac was asked to appraise the specimen under the microscope, but he could only see one of his own eyes under the big optical glasses; the man in black was Isaac’s dream self, with his mouth wrinkled tightly. The face with eyes is very similar to the face of a fetus, which means that Isaac is still in an undeveloped initial stage emotionally; in the end, the black coffin corresponds to Isaac’s old black car, a coffin containing his own corpse. Falling in front of Isaac, the corpse grabbed his wrist and they worked together. One tried to escape, the other refused to let go. The two Isaac's faces began to merge, and Isaac blurred between life and death. The nightmare began by showing Isaac's isolation from others naked, allowing Isaac to face the arrival of death again and again. The blank surface tells him that time is no longer easy; the broken eyes tell him that his ability to see is also defective; the face of the man in black is regarded as the reality of Isaac, exposing to the world the harsh expression under the gentle appearance; tall buildings To make Isaac small, he was imprisoned in a barren city unfreely. At the end of the nightmare, Isaac’s eyes met with the corpse. The corpse in the coffin refused to die. We are not sure whether Isaac wanted to pull the corpse out or the corpse wanted to put Isakra in. The fear and desire of death are mixed here. NS. Many fragments of this nightmare are indirectly implied in the following plot, such as the watch without hands (Isaac’s mother said that she was about to give the watch without hands from her father to Siegbritt’s The son makes a gift), the window panels on the building (the windows of the summer villa when Isaac was a boy were similarly blocked), accompanied by the wailing when the hearse fell out of the coffin (which undoubtedly implies the life and death Close, because the sound is exactly the same as the sound of Siegbritt’s child in the later part of the film). Silence is also used perfectly in this weird dream, so that we can only hear Isaac’s short but powerful heartbeat, church bells, the sound of a coffin car hitting a street lamp, the hissing of horses, and blackness. The hissing sound made when the clothes man disappeared. The use of sound physically brought a lot of impact to the audience, and also showed the great mental impact of dreams on Isaac. The dream made Isaac feel that in his subconscious he has some inexplicable fear of his own state of existence, and a new concept of time and a new way of seeing is growing in his heart. The first thing Isaac does after waking up from the nightmare is to look at his watch. In reality, his watch is walking. This means that he still has time, still has the opportunity to understand his dream, and has the opportunity to escape from his dream. This is a living state of death. "The Nightmare of Death" is Isaac’s first dream in "Wild Strawberry". It made Isaac realize the deep sense of loneliness and fear of death in his subconscious in the form of apocalypse. It was Isaac. Seek the beginning of self-knowledge with the help of dreams. 2. Memories of the Past Recalling the past is a way to understand the present. The "memories of the past" in the film is Isaac’s second dream. It happened after Isaac’s first conversation with Marianne. The location is Isaac. Next to the summer villa in Ke’s childhood, Isaac saw his long-apart first love Sarah in his dream. In the first half of the journey, Isaac drove Marian to the summer villa where he was on vacation during his childhood. There was no one in the villa this year, and the windows were sealed with wooden boards, similar to what Isaac saw in the early morning nightmare. There is a small field of wild strawberry in front of the villa. Isaac leaned against one of the old apple trees and fell into a state of daydreaming: On this field of wild strawberry, Isaac saw Sara, and she was picking wild strawberries. , Preparing to give Uncle Aaron a birthday present, Isaac tried very hard to say hello to Sara, but Sara couldn’t hear him at all, "Sarah, I’m your cousin Isaac, I’m very old, of course, I'm not like before, but you haven't changed at all." At this time Siegfried appeared. He acted frivolously and boldly expressed his love to Sara, and even kissed Sara recklessly, which made Sara both angry and excited, but at the same time it made her alive. A sense of guilt that betrayed Isaac. Suddenly, the breakfast bell rang. The bell gathered many people into the lively restaurant. Old Isaac was unable to join in, and could only watch the vivid scenes of the past at the door. During the meal, the twin sisters mentioned that Sarah and Siegfried were kissing, which made Sara feel ashamed and sad, and she rushed out of the room crying. Charlotte went to the stairs to comfort Sarah. Sara told her what she thought of the two cousins: "Isaac is a good person, sensitive and moral. He misses us (Isaac and Sara). Reading poems, talking about the afterlife, playing the piano, he just wants to kiss in the dark, he talks about sin, his height of thought is too terrible, I feel worthless, I don’t deny, I am worthless, but sometimes I feel better than Isaac is older, do you know what I mean, although we are the same age, I still think he is a child. Siegfried is so bold and exciting. I want to go home, I don’t want to stay all summer Here became the object of the twins and their ridicule. I don’t want to be like this...Poor Isaac, he is so good to me, everything is too unfair.” Then the twins sang and they gave it to the deaf Aaron. Uncle’s birthday present-what a ridiculous and lovely act. Sara told Charlotte that she was going down to see Isaac and his father, so she ran out of the house, and the old Isaac followed her. Just when Isaac felt that he was being overwhelmed by feelings of emptiness and sadness, the modern version of Sara 2 (a modern girl of the same name I met on the road) awakened Isaac in the daydream. This is a dream that recalls the past. It regains the painful moment of Isaac's loss of his first love, and it also marks the beginning of Isaac's re-touching of the lively emotions in his heart. Isaac's imagination activates the happy life in the summer villa, creating a strong visual contrast between the dead house in the present and the vibrant house in the past. In the summer villa of daydreaming, happy sounds can be heard everywhere—piano music, laughter, footsteps, children's shouts, and singing. The harmonious and joyful scenes reproduce the simple and beautiful childhood life in Isaac's heart. However, Isaac was unable to communicate with the people there, let alone chat with Sara, whom he loved in his heart. Sara could neither see nor hear Isaac, the poor Isaac in the dream could only stay alone in the dark corridor, peeking at everything in front of her. Isaac and his parents were the only exceptions in the family gathering scene, because he and his father went fishing at that time. Isaac's father is loved by everyone, but his mother is disgusting with the children because of his coldness. Through Isaac’s fantasy next to the summer villa, Bergman created an idealized world, a world full of joy, youth, family harmony, laughter and love, which is deeply hidden in Isaac’s inner liveliness. The emotional and painful love experience hit him again. He was struck by pure memory and blocked by the real situation. He was too far away from the beautiful goddess Sara in his mind, and he could not talk with him. Communication, let alone the incarnation of emotion and love-Sara. The second dream is Isaac’s reminiscence of the past, expressing Isaac’s desire to find love and beauty, and entrust Isaac’s feelings of regaining a new life and returning to the spiritual paradise. "The'Relentless' Judgment" is about Isaac's third dream, which can also be called Isaac's second nightmare or second daydream. This dream is divided into three parts: Sara forces Isaac to face herself, Oman's test and verdict on Isaac, and his wife Karin accuses Isaac of being "relentless." (1) Facing the second half of their journey, Marianne and Isaac rushed back from Mrs. Borg to continue their journey. Marianne drove, Isaac looked a little tired, and soon entered a daydream again. In the dream, the flocks of birds in the forest were howling, and Isaac returned to the wild strawberry field where he played in his childhood, but the surrounding wild strawberries were gone. They were all packed in Sara's basket. Sarah: Have you ever looked in the mirror? Isaac? Then I will show you what you look like, you are an anxious old man dying (Sarah raised a mirror to Isaac, we can see Isaac’s face in the mirror), but I’m still young, although Hurt your feelings. Isaac: No, it didn’t hurt my feelings (Isaac said sadly) Sara: No, it hurts, because you can’t stand this fact. The truth is that I used to think too much for others, but instead Easy to injure people unintentionally. Isaac: I understand. Sarah: No, you don't understand. We can't say to go together. Look at the mirror again. No, don't avoid it. Isaac: I understand. Sarah: Listen to me, I want to marry your brother Siegfried, love is almost a game for us, look at your face and laugh! (Isaac smiles bitterly) By the way, you laughed (Isaac's expression is very painful). Isaac: But I am in pain. Sara: As a retired professor, you should know why it is painful, but you don’t know, you know too much, but you don’t know anything. I have to go. I promised to take care of Siegbritt’s baby. Unlike the last time I remembered the dream, Isaac was able to communicate with Sara this time. In the dialogue, Sara picked up the mirror in her hand twice and forced Isaac to face her old and ugly face and straighten it. Tell him in vain: "You know too much, but you don't know anything". As far as Isaac's pursuit of self-knowledge is concerned, this may be the key point of the film, because here Isaac clearly knows that he knows nothing about life itself. Sara rushed to the crib under the dead tree. The baby was crying. Sara picked up the baby and coaxed him and said, "Poor little thing, go to sleep, child, don’t be afraid of the wind or the birds, and don’t be afraid. The waves, I’m here to hold you tightly, don’t be afraid. Soon it’s another day, no one will hurt you. I’ll stay with you and hold you.” The baby here clearly alludes to Isaac, thus confirming the white As Sara told Charlotte in Daydream 1—she often felt that she was older than Isaac, and what Isaac and Sara said when they met—Sarah Isaac’s mother in the Bible. Sarah ran back to the summer house with the baby, while Isaac stood alone by the crib. The swirling birds made huge hums and screams. Together with the background music, they gave people an evil feeling and surrounded Isaac who was in pain. Next, a close-up of the head of a dead tree appeared in the screen. The effect of fading out and fading in made people feel that Isaac's head was stretched into the arms of the dead tree that looked like iron tongs. Isaac slowly walked to the window of the house where Sara and Siegfried had a dinner party, and watched Sara and Siegfried walk from the piano to the table. At this moment, half of Isaac's face was covered by the warm light in the house, and half was shrouded in darkness. Sarah's piano music was replaced by the sound of the violin, and the violin music turned into silence. Isaac couldn't see Sarah in the window anymore, waiting for him was a harsher trial. Throughout the clip, we can feel the closeness of life and death. Whether it is the scene of a dead tree against the bright sky or the roaring of a flock of birds that keeps circling, it implies the arrival of death, and the new born child and the twilight Old Isaac interprets the image of the transformation of people from life to death under the dead tree. (2) Take the test In the silence, the moon stood out from the dark clouds, and the cold moonlight hit Isaac's face. The light was as dazzling as the unavoidable glare in the early morning nightmare. The image of Sarah in the window was gone, Isaac struck it hard, but the window was completely dark, and he could only see the sky and his own reflection in it. Isaac moved his hand to the nail on the window mullion, blood bleed from the palm of his hand. This brief moment showed a scene of suffering or self-harm, representing that Isaac did not want to suppress or escape the pain in his heart. He must admit his failure. When Isaac's face was removed from the window, his mirror image was replaced by Oman's face, and Oman became Isaac's second self. Oman came to interrogate and test Isaac. Oman invited Isaac into the room and led him to the lecture hall where he was tested. Isaac saw Sara 2 and her two partners and other students sitting on the desk. The test is divided into three items. The first is to identify bacterial specimens. Oman asked Isaac to identify bacterial specimens under the microscope, but Isaac saw one of his eyes in the microscope. Besides, he had nothing. See; the second test is to recite the text on the blackboard. When Oman asked Isaac what the words on the blackboard meant, Isaac was embarrassed. Oman told him that the blackboard was the doctor’s first responsibility, but Isaac did not remember that the doctor’s first responsibility was to ask for forgiveness; the third test was to diagnose the patient. Oman asked Isaac to diagnose the patient Belit (Oman’s wife) under the light, and Isaac touched the patient. Little's head, diagnosed that she was dead, didn't know that Belite suddenly opened his eyes and laughed. Isaac’s three tests all ended in failure, and the test results were unqualified. Oman convicted Isaac and wrote “incompetent” on the verdict. Isaac’s test takes the form of the Swedish Student Examen. Usually this test is conducted in front of the examiner, and the teacher will ask the students in public and give the results. However, the position of the role in the dream is completely reversed. The old man was asked and tested in public, and the students (including Sara 2 and her young man) watched from the main examination bench. Dreamland skillfully uses Isaac's medical examination to demonstrate a test of Isaac's basic humanity. First of all, in the first test, Isaac could only see his own eye that was absurdly enlarged under the microscope. That was an expression of Isaac’s egocentricism, because he could see nothing but himself. He has lost the ability of normal people to watch. Secondly, in the second test, Isaac could not read the text on the blackboard-"The first duty of a doctor is to ask for forgiveness", which means that he is unwilling to confess his sin. Please note that when Isaac can’t read the writing on the blackboard At that time, we were just as unable to recognize the content of the text as he was. At this moment, Bergman regards us and Isaac as one, implying that we in the relationship are also selfish, and it is also difficult to admit that we are guilty. In this way, Isaac shares here the sin of egocentricity that all human beings have in common. Finally, in the third test, Isaac diagnosed that the patient Belit was dead, but it turned out that she was still alive. After all, human is a very complex and elusive animal. We cannot judge it based on medical knowledge alone. Perhaps Isaac is right. Belit is dead, although she is still alive—physically still Alive, but mentally dead. Isaac failed one of the three tests, so Oman ruled that Isaac failed the test and wrote "incompetent" on the verdict. (3) Was convicted of "relentless" Aman told Isaac that he was also charged with a minor but serious crime-ruthless, selfish, and cruel, and it was his wife Karin who had been dead for many years. Then Oman took Isaac into a forest, where there were dead trees and dense trunks. Suddenly Isaac heard the laughter of his wife Karin, which was exactly the same as that of Belit, who had just been diagnosed as dead. In a small clearing in front of him, Isaac once again witnessed the scene of his wife committing adultery with others. Oman was right next to Isaac, and he said to him: "Many people have forgotten a woman who died 30 years ago. Some people have a sweet faded photo in their arms, but you can always think of this scene, May 1, 1917. Sunday, Thursday. You are standing here, just hearing and seeing what the man and the woman are doing." After the deviant behavior, Karin took out the mirror and looked at her face, as if staring into her own soul. "Now I'm going back and telling Isaac, I know what he will say. Poor girl, I feel sorry for you, it seems that he is God, and then I cried and said,'You really feel sorry for me?' He said :'Yes, I'm very sad.' Then I will cry again that he forgive me, he will say you don't have to pray for my forgiveness, there is nothing to forgive. But what he said is not true. Because he is as cold as ice... ...His hypocrisy makes me sick...but he doesn't care about anything because he is too cold." In this fragment of the dream, we learn that Karin, the wife who has been dead for many years, is still alive in Isaac's subconscious mind. It is a source of his guilt, because he has never given Karin any love and care, and is even indifferent to Karin's adultery. At the end of the nightmare, Isaac asked Oman what the punishment for his "relentless" sentence was. Oman replied, "As usual, alone." Isaac asked again, "No mercy?" Oman replied, "Don't ask. I, I don't know." This means that Isaac's ultimate fate is still in his own hands. In fact, when Isaac asked Oman about his punishment, he already confessed his "relentless" sin, and loneliness is the price of the "relentless" sin. Isaac, who accepted the sentence, woke up from his dream. He told Marian next to him that in the dream he seemed to try to say something to himself that he didn’t want to hear when he woke up. Maybe that’s "I'm dead, although I still Live." This sentence is not only an incisive summary of the second nightmare, but also a clear explanation of the first nightmare. The second nightmare is composed of many clues. It turns Isaac’s internal feelings into externally visible symbols, and makes Isaac’s sense of anxiety and fear develop from the fuzzy state in the first nightmare. Blunt words. Through the role of dreams, Isaac not only accepted the honorary award from the public, but also completed his own guilty trial on the same day. In the second nightmare, we learn that Isaac’s sin is a sin that lacks the basic connection between lives, and his deepest sin is that he did not realize this at all. Isaac should be grateful for the second nightmare, because it brought him a life-saving medicine-painful humiliation, and it made him soberly realize his sin. So in the end, whether Isaac can get rid of or end the terrible nightmare, it will depend on whether he can change his past after recognizing all this. After the rebirth trip of the Four Hopes, Isaac gained a new insight and understanding of life. He wants to get rid of the loneliness and the state of living death through actions. He is working hard to establish an emotional connection with the people around him, and he begins to understand the taste. And caring for the family, began to try to accept and give love. The change in life attitude and behavior brought Isaac’s inner peace, and the spiritual conversion made Isaac finally obtain subconscious satisfaction and happiness. "Wild Strawberry" successfully ended the "Damascus" with the rebirth of hope. trip". "The rebirth of hope" was Isaac's last dream and his only dream in a day. The arrival of the dream is like the complete end of the Damascus journey, which has reinfused Isaac's life with happiness and hope. In just one and a half minutes, Isaac returned to the spiritual homeland, Sarah held hands and led Isaac to find his parents in the Garden of Eden. Isaac returned to a small piece of wild strawberry field in front of the summer villa, and his family was busy getting on the speedboat to sail around the peninsula. Sarah found Isaac, and she happily and kindly ran to the old Isaac and told him: "There are no wild strawberries anymore, my aunt asked you to find your father", but Isaac could not find her parents. Young Sarah smiled and said to him: "Come, I'll help you." Sarah shook his hand to Isaac, and they looked at the scene of family playing together and showed a happy smile. Afterwards, Sara took Isaac by the hand, led him through the sunny grass, to a quiet lake, and pointed him to his parents who were fishing by the bay—dad was fishing, and mother was knitting. The parents on the other side smiled and waved to Isaac, Sarah left, and Isaac remained alone. At this moment, there were cheerful bird singing and harp chords in the background sound, and Isaac looked at his parents tenderly and affectionately, as if facing two children. Then Isaac returned to reality from his dream. He lay on the bed and smiled peacefully. A fade-out shot ended the whole film. The "Rebirth of Hope" is idyllic and beautiful. All the lost moments have been compensated. Isaac found the clear water of rebirth with Sara. The happy figure of Isaac's family is reflected in the water, where Isaac is Return to the spiritual homeland. Self-knowledge and mutual tolerance and understanding between generations have made Isaac obtain peace of mind, and returning to an innocent and pure soul state is the common desire of all mankind. In the dream, Isaac’s parents waved to him, his face suddenly bright and cheerful, he looked at them with a tolerant and kind expression, with a desire to establish contact with his parents, the past (childhood memories), the present And the future (I hope to reunite with my parents after death) are connected at this moment. We don’t care what Isaac’s parents actually look like, we only care that Isaac can look at them so peacefully. When the soul finds a refuge, all of us can live in the Garden of Eden like the original Adam and Eve. . "Dream of Dreams" specifically analyzes Isaac’s four dreams in one day, from the initial nightmare of death, to the "memories of the past", to the "relentless" trial, and finally into the beautiful dreamland, "Dream "It records the process of Isaac's self-knowledge and demonstrates the journey of Isaac's spiritual journey in Damascus. The first dream is full of horror, the second dream is full of sentimentality, the third dream is full of self-blame, and the fourth dream is full of hope; the first and third dreams are centered on self-face; the third and the third In the four dreams, the screaming jackdaws and the singing of the birds highlight the sharp contrast; in the last three dreams, Isaac was never able to communicate with Sara, to communicate with Sara, and then to hold hands with Sara. The subtle changes in Isaac's subconscious were revealed, and the fulfillment of hope was achieved through a progressive form. The sun cannot shine on both sides of the fence at the same time, but art can easily present phenomena that are impossible in nature; in real life, people cannot allow dreams and reality to coexist, and when they enter a dream, they say goodbye to reality, but movies can realize this reality. Difficult things that can't be done! Dreams are related, not out of thin air; dreams are an organically connected whole, surging freely between the virtual and the real. Bergman’s "Wild Strawberry" closely connects dreams and reality with a clever structure. We vividly experienced Isaac's regained complete life in "Dream in Dream" of "Wild Strawberry". Spiritual journey.
