Love is a one-sided statement of the lover - episode 2

Brother Xu said, "Emotions should be confused, and don't be clear. Sometimes what others say, the parties are easy to associate, and the relationship is very fragile."

When I first watched this movie, I saw the emotional fragility, dodging, hiding, restraint, selfishness, and finally came to the conclusion that long-term intimacy will die out. However, such a simple sentence can't actually cover the whole process of "why come here", so I will revisit it recently.

Between the first two days and the second episode, Marianne fell into deep thought when she heard the client's statement "My husband and I erased each other's existence." Recalling the dodging and unnatural answers of Marianne during the interview, love may have disappeared at that time, and only habits and life are left. But habitual behavior doesn't let the person know what the deeper consciousness is. Self-understanding and awareness need opportunities to be opened.

After the client statement, Marianne suddenly realized that the person I love doesn't seem to exist in my life, love is just a unilateral statement of my state, and it doesn't matter whether the other person responds or not. But is this listening self-awakening or a sabotage of love?

When Marianne talked with reporters, she was talking about self-questioning. She recalled how the two people's love for ten years was just how they got to know each other. Marianne said, "It's enough to be friendly with your partner, reasonable expectations, love is unnecessary", after all, the two people can't even agree on having sex. Marianne's sideways stare lying on the bed, staring at ego, not John,

It wasn't until she encountered the client's statement that Marianne suddenly realized. In the past ten years, her understanding of love in marriage has become her own misreading of life itself. When she talks about love, what she is talking about has nothing to do with love, and love has nothing to do with partners in ten years. When Marianne made a friendly statement to reporters, their marriage had also ended.

Marriage is a hand that goes out and goes back, like the beer and sandwiches that Marianne picks up in the holiday cabin, and then hesitates and puts it in the fridge.

    The TV version, I can't imagine which minute of the five hours can be deleted, so I am skeptical about the three-hour movie version. The density of dialogue is approximately equal to that of real life itself. The layers are filled with ghostly threads and are released through close-ups of facial expressions. In the medium shot, the characters are placed in simple scenes to form space positions and regular compositions, although they are all everyday scenes. However, the scenes are condensed and typical as if they have been carefully extracted. The omitted part between the scene and the scene is not presented in front of the camera, but there are resounding echoes in other scenes. It can be said that there is almost no deliberate management. Bergman, with his artist's serious insight, so lightly and naturally distills profound literary qualities from the feathers of life.

  • Marianne: I felt inadequate at work and at home, and I was a washout in bed too. I was hedged in by all the griping and endless demands! Goddamn you! 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!
