"Wild Strawberry" is a great work of Ingmar Bergman's golden age. It smoothly combines the past, present and future through dreams, narrows the distance between reality and dreams, and takes the pursuit of self-knowledge as a line. Dreams are a medium of self-analysis, expressing the emotional call in the form of beauty, seeking the great pronunciation of human beings. Bergman interprets the definition of dreams in the form of art. The realization of self-knowledge with the help of dreams is the most eye-catching aspect of "Wild Strawberry". In "Wild Strawberry", the plot of the dream occupies 1/3 of the entire film, achieving the best balance between dream and reality. The opening five-minute dream scene is the most famous segment in Bergman's film and also the beginning of the journey to Damascus. The dream unfolds in vivid black and white. A series of symbols symbolizing death in the dream gave Isaac a deep understanding of the lost. In the beginning of the nightmare, a series of premonitions of disaster appeared. First of all, the deserted street background, the nailed windows with wooden boards, and the dead trees on both sides of the church all showed Isaac's spiritual situation. Clocks without pointers imply that he "no longer has time" and symbolizes the end of life... A series of things appear in Isaac's dreams. The dreams in this period are mainly foreshadowings of the future, and the next nightmare , It is a clear display of Isaac's past, Isaac went back to the past, and re-walked the way he had traveled and the things he had done. The herald of the future and the memories of the past make Isaac filter his life in the dream, re-examine everything he has done, and find his knowledge in the dream. Sun Xueba shines 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 exist at the same time. When they enter dreams, they say goodbye to reality, and movies can achieve this. Things that cannot be achieved in reality. Dreams are related, not unfounded. Bergman’s "Wild Strawberry" closely connects dreams and reality with an ingenious structure. We vividly reflect Isaac's regained integrity in the "Dream in Dream" of "Wild Strawberry" The spiritual journey of life.

  • Dr. Evald Borg: It's absurd to bring children into this world and think they'll be better off than we were.

    Marianne Borg: That's just an excuse.

    Dr. Evald Borg: Call it what you want. I was an unwanted child in a hellish marriage.

  • Marianne Borg: You're a coward.

    Dr. Evald Borg: Yes. This life sickens me. I will not be forced to take on a responsibility that will make me live for one day longer than I want to. And you know that I mean what I say.
