"Wild Strawberry" is Bergman's representative work in the mid-term. It is still a discussion of life and death. Bergman was born in a Lutheran priest family. Parents are cruel and cruel. The work is cold and heavy. I have seen other film critics say that Bergman's works are deeply influenced by Freud's thoughts, but I don't understand it, but I think the whole film is quite similar to Su Zizhuangzi's "Life Is Like a Dream"
The narrative structure of the film is unique. Through montage, the reality and past dreams are connected together, breaking the time and space limitations of the characters, and showing the guilt of the male protagonist and the pain of the shadow of life.
The film technique is shocking. The smooth transition from the dream to the reality is amazing. The light and shadow changes in the rainy day are amazing. The director uses a lot of depth-of-field shots. There are almost no long-range shots at the end. In addition to expressing the inner emotions of the characters and making them more tense and oppressive, they can make the audience pay more attention to the movie.
The film has experienced a total of four dreams of the male protagonist, which correspond to the male protagonist from fear to withdrawal to indifference to final self-reconciliation. Such a beautiful ending is the best. Such self-reconciliation is not only the self-reconciliation of the male protagonist, but also Bergman's Self-Reconciliation and Self-Redemption in Lyricism
That is to say, Bergman essentially completed self-redemption through "Wild Strawberry"
No matter from any angle, director Bergman is a shining pearl in the history of world cinema
