Shouting and Whispering: The Carver and Engineer of the Soul

Agnes, one of the three sisters, is terminally ill, but vaguely yearns for sisterhood, but calls for Yiyi to stop and look back; Maria, who lives a debauched life and cannot maintain intimacy with her husband and lover, is hypocritical and hypocritical. The ostentation consumes herself; Karin, who has a rift with the diplomat's husband, actually self-mutilates her vagina in order to avoid having sex with her husband, and gradually becomes depressed in the deep overdraft; only the maid Anna, like a virgin, cares for Agnes with tenderness and loves her. This traumatic and inhuman world gives him a sun-warming emotional solace.

Agnes was thought to be dead and was groomed for his funeral. Maria and Karin are bitterly angry with each other due to years of grievances and the hypocritical factor in the love of life. Only Anna noticed Agnes' snoring, and found that he was awake. Karin slammed the door impatiently, and Maria forcibly endured boredom and fear, trying to maintain the last bit of politeness and affection on the surface. But when Agnes hugged her, Maria was afraid of the half-paralyzed woman who was almost in the grave, screamed and pulled her sister's hand around her neck and ran away quickly.

In the end, Agnes died in Anna's arms. Anna looked so plump, she seemed to be a flying star that summoned the world, and she also seemed to be an angel full of strong human friendship, tying Agnes' destiny and soul firmly.

There is roughness and wetness in life, mottled and eternal, and the constant change is the loneliness in human nature, tormenting sisters like a poison.

After Agnes died, Karin's husband did not agree to give Anna the money, and only asked her to pick an Agnes thing at will. When Anna explained that she didn't want anything, his light sentence "she chose to be a kind person" showed the supreme selfishness and horror of the soul. Karin's husband's insight may surpass that of ordinary people in the general sense, but sometimes their mind and tolerance are not far inferior to them. The meaning of Anna's role is to use a kind of mind power to set things right, and tolerate the dirt of this world with a gentle and peaceful bearing and graceful heart.

Ana opens Agnes' diary. In March, two sisters came to see her, and the sisters and Anna Baiyi Shengxue came to the swing with a sweet smile. Agnes, who was in a dying state from the beginning of the film, showed a satisfied smile on the swing. Shouting all night, Yuan Yuan is like this, but still has the breadth of life, compassion and comfort. The illuminance is formed in an instant, and it binds their spiritual vision with a thunderous force. The world floats day and night. When compassion and joy leap over their faces, it is a profound ceremony and recognition of the human world.

David said, "Come here, Maria, and look at yourself in the mirror. You're beautiful...but that beauty has changed. You've been throwing quick, calculating glances these days, and you've never been there before. Yes, there is no cover." A wiggling or inclined expression on the edge of the lips is very likely to betray a person's personality, which Bergman understands better than any director, Bergman. It is indeed the carver and engineer of the soul.

    Bergman described in an almost naturalistic way that terminal cancer patients are step by step towards the end of their lives in debilitating and severe pain. For this reason, he must use beautiful pictures and bright colors to reconcile them, so as not to make people fall into the right. The fear of death and the despair of life.

    The quietness and nature at the end, this uneasy confusion has always entangled you and me, and now I can't forgive myself, and I can't be the same as before. The distance between people can be easily developed under the master-level scheduling of Bergman. Even the best memories will be washed away by time. This dazzling color lighting seems to tell us that happiness is always there, and how many people can truly understand. Only a sigh.
