Finally watched "Wild Strawberry", which was one of the blanks for watching movies. The 1957 movie is also Ang Lee's idol and the representative work of Swedish director Bergman. I was very afraid of watching stream-of-consciousness movies. In addition, this is already one of the must-see movies in the film school. As a textbook analysis, Is it hard to understand, hard to read? Actually no, the story line inside is quite clear, especially the actresses who play Sara and Marianne, how good the black and white photography is, that is: if it is shot in color, the film will be ruined. I think the 4:3 format can highlight the facial expressions of the characters more. Ang Lee's "Father Trilogy" was heavily influenced by Bergman, including later "Pi". Thinking about the role of the father, questioning God, and reconciling with life are the core of this film. The characteristics of road films are the intertwined emotions of sadness and happiness, and there is a feeling of "life is like a dream".
Ang Lee's current obsession with technology, isn't it another departure from patriarchy? However, he has not yet reached a kind of reconciliation, Bergman did, and when the protagonist is 78 years old, Ang Lee is not old enough. Bergman has reached the end, and Ang Lee is still on the way. I hope it's not like Li Xueqin said of Magellan: "He died on the way."
