In the dark room in the middle of the night, the world is unknown

Having never tasted love, I finished another Bergman love masterpiece. "Marriage Scene" is a large-scale situational movie with a length of 5 hours and 5 minutes (TV version). 1 prologue + 6 clips, innocence and panic, cleaning the dust under the blanket, Paula, deep valley of tears, blindness, darkness in the middle of the night, the world is unknown. Let's watch Liv Uman and the male lead (the Swedish actor who cooperates with Bergman and Tarkovsky) constantly cut love. The essence of marriage movies. First of all, what is happiness? Goddess Uman said that satisfaction is happiness. Happiness can come from married life, but married life cannot guarantee happiness. A couple of friends of the hero and heroine performed a marital farce in front of them, but they did not expect that this kind of thing would eventually happen to them. The man admitted to cheating and insisted on leaving, while the woman pleaded bitterly, but to no avail. Then, naturally, some ** scenes are indispensable. Everyone gets together and dispersed, and the film reaches the last scene. At this time, the misfortune of their respective marriages rekindled the old love between the two in their mutual sympathy. The woman actually stated that she actually had an affair at the beginning of their marriage, and her lies made the relationship last as long as possible. Up to now, their constant relationship has been going on for 20 years. In fact, 20 years is not long, but it is deliberately portrayed as a different person. They have grown up, and they are using this old relationship to maintain their current position, and they have not been together again. The title of the last episode is translated as "There is nowhere in the world in a dark room in the middle of the night." I think this is a little bit of what the movie wants to express, let's just go with the flow. So in fact, for people who are not married, don't think about marriage so mysterious, solemn and sacred. In fact, it's not just a small episode in one's life, and who can say exactly where it will go in the end. After all, it is difficult to find a 100% compatible couple in this world. Even if the spiritual love is Platonic, it is not a problem if the physical needs are not well coordinated.

    I've never been married, I don't have any experience, and I don't want to believe it's a fact. If it is true, I wish it was only part of it. This is Europe, I just want to talk about the love of my parents, married at 23 years old, 74 years old this year, 50 years of marriage, they have witnessed them love and respect each other for decades, and they will also complain about each other, but they have never beaten or scolded each other. When my father is sick, my mother takes care of me in every possible way. When my mother is sick, my father never leaves. They love each other more than they love themselves. I am really grateful to grow up in such a loving environment and learn to be a person and learn to live. The heroine in the movie is very obvious that the mental problems are buried in the family education since childhood. The self-analysis part is too important. All the commenters don't need to see through marriage. Marriage is the grave of love. There is a lot more to marriage besides sex. Sex is important, and more importantly, love. Love is the foundation of everything. With love, marriage is the sublimation of love. The movie is just the director's wish, I still choose to believe in love, and start with being myself.

    With regard to marriage, it turned out that there has not been much change since it started in the 1970s. When a man mentioned the glow of love on his face when he met Paula, it made me feel cruel.

Was it so strange that I used sex for leverage? I was outnumbered, having to fight you, both sets of parents and society! When I think about what I endured, I could scream! I tell you this: never again! You sit there whining about conspiracies. Well, it serves you right! I hope you'll have it rammed down your throat that you're a useless parasite.

    Johan: You're being utterly grotesque!

    Marianne: So what? That's what I've become!
