The old pagoda pointed the last bright road for "faith"

The master's last work, there is something "mysterious" in the film. Already shown in Stalker, nostalgia hides. Is it true that the master surpasses ordinary people too much, and the height reached can only be explained by the supernatural? Newton later studied theology. Hawking and the Holy See reached an agreement. Everything started after the Big Bang. Qian Xuesen pondered supernatural powers...
Laota was a distorted person who sought the integrity and independence of the soul all his life, but questioned the existence of the soul... At that time The world is bipolar, either one or the other. From this side of the Iron Curtain to that side~ I found that there is no essential difference between the two sides. This breakdown of belief may be his real anxiety... So, this sacrifice expresses "faith". Believe it or not! Faith is hope...but "hope" itself is pessimistic. Because "hope" represents dissatisfaction with reality. What can man do? Choose to believe or not... Is not believing also a "faith"? This is probably what "faith" means.
More than 20 years have passed ~ our generation was born on the ruins of the spirit. Watching the old pagoda's movies is the same as watching "Shangganling" and "Heroes and Children"... but at that time, the old pagoda was still afraid of the collapse of the soul's belief, and we were born on the ruins.
In the values ​​of the old tower, people must have faith, whether it is communism, Christianity, existentialism... that is the direction that supports the progress of mankind.
In principle, I agree with the old tower's point of view. Just born on the ruins of a faithless people, faith is an illusory, legendary luxury. So we started to imitate "faith".
However, before the collapse of belief, the old pagoda screamed and guided a "bright road" - strange power and chaos! Faith can only survive in human beings with the help of "weird power and chaos".
How sad ~ this is the last cry of the old tower - or hope.
Aesthetics do not say ~ ~ absolute classic! ! It's not too much to watch it over and over again! ! !

    The film was shot on the island of Faroe, where Bergman lives. Nykvist's photography is picturesque. There are many shocking moments, such as Alex leaning over the model of the villa like a god, or in the boy's room, the wind blows the curtains, and the light gradually brightens and dims. That last robe with tai chi printed on it is kind of funny.

    1. Excellent scheduling of indoor long shots, people move the mirror with, move, zoom, and recompose the picture. The last scene is even more amazing. 2. Humble prayers, trembling sacrifices, an attempt to make up for the huge rift in the human spiritual world, even if mad by believing in miracles, but also convey courage and confidence (the swan song of the tower). 3. The characters and themes are inherited from "Nostalgia", which incorporates a deep dive into personal feelings. This film is a human spiritual prophecy written by Bach, Leonardo da Vinci and Tarkovsky.
