or mask

Movies are works of art as well as tools, and it's hard to imagine a situation in which a novel's masquerade is in the same way that a silent film is as inferior to a sound film.

Ingmar Bergman's films have always focused on original intentions and light plots, like wild strawberries, like the seventh seal. This film also tells an exaggerated story: the nurse takes care of the actor who is aphasia, and the result is integrated with the actor. . In fact, this film can be called a mask instead of a mask, but it is more appropriate to call it a mask. After all, living in a room with a mental patient who deliberately does not speak, there are only two endings: either you commit suicide, or you become her too.

    Three brushes. 1. Ending with the beginning and end of the film itself, the symbols of the old film are constantly interspersed and reproduced (penis, Jesus, lamb, child, old man), Bergman kneads his sincerity and all kinds of past experiences into a rubbing mask. Resurrection boy, looking directly at the most real suffering and suffering of human inner emotions in the incoherent and deep dream. The screen that is intended to be a mirror is the entrance for the audience to enter the character's thoughts. 2. Women are Bergman's favorite narrative carriers and anatomical objects. He is also used to depicting women as individuals and extending them to refer to the macro level of society. Two women who are placed in the same situation and reflect each other, the listener who refuses to communicate and the narrator who is eager to communicate, the faces overlap and the split personality. Society, family, stage, no matter where we are, we can't strip away the mask. | "Every time you wake up from a dream, be vigilant: how others see you, and who you really are; every deceitful saying, every fake expression, every bitter smile. You won't choose suicide, but you can be silent" . 3. Boiling water, glass slag. 4. The repetition of text paragraphs, high-contrast light sources set off the characters' thoughts. (9.5/10)

    The story is simple, the theme is deep and heavy; the surface is calm, and the bottom is turbulent and shocking. I am also a temporary aphasia, but only temporarily, I still continue to speak, because I can't get rid of reality and the crowd.

Persona quotes

  • Sister Alma: You can't know how I feel. I always thought great artists felt this great compassion for other people, that they created art out of great compassion and a need to help. That was silly of me.

  • Sister Alma: Does it have to be like this? Is it really so important not to lie, to tell the truth, to speak in a genuine tone of voice? Can a person really live without babbling away, without lying and making up excuses and evading things? Isn't it better to just let yourself be silly and sloppy and dishonest? Maybe a person gets better by just letting herself be who she is.
