1. It is a pity that my disc is broken. Also bad are "Black Cat and White Cat" and "Bergman's Island".
2.9 On the evening of 23rd, I was out for a walk.
The moon is up, and a train passes by in the moonlight. Seeing this scene, I stopped at once: It can really be a good movie lens! However, the huge four-character light sign of the cement factory in the far back has to be removed from the screen, the surrounding street lights have to be turned off, and the light on the screen has to maintain a cool tone. Two people should also be placed in the bridge hole under the railway. They had just experienced a quarrel. The man was saying something important to him, which was engulfed by the rumbling of the train. After the train passed, they could no longer communicate.
3. The first scene of "The Silence" takes place on a train. A total of 24 shots, 6 minutes and 41 seconds long, including 14 fixed shots and 10 sports shots. The first two shots are 3 minutes and 51 seconds long, with a total of three lines.
"What does this mean?"
"I don't know."
Then Little John read the string of foreign words on the car window.
The relationship and atmosphere of the characters presented by these two shots is exciting. The remaining 22 shots are supplements and footnotes. Little John is the axis of action.
4. "Rolf Hochhut, the author of "The Member of Parliament", saw Ingmar Bergman's "Silence", and when he left the Hamburg cinema, he had this question: What is left for the novelist to write today? What?"

"Bergman has shown more than any other film director the ability to continuously expand the boundaries of his artistic creation. He continues to pay attention to the general questions raised by the journey of life; if it is said that his films often seem to be in philosophy The question of eternity was raised because of his constant change of angles when raising these questions. Ingmar Bergman is not blindly an experimental film director—at least in the general sense, his basic style has a kind of non-existent Suspiciously close to experimental film’s simplicity. However, the peculiar simplicity of Bergman’s work is largely due to his willingness to experiment with the technical possibilities of film methods, and hopes that the film will become a precision for exploring the human situation. The result of the tool."
———(US) Lee R. Popeke
I agree with Popeke’s evaluation of Bergman’s “constant change of angles”, although Bergman himself believes that Kurosawa has done something at this point. better.
5. In my opinion, the camera represents a man, and the action of a character represents a woman. Something must happen between the two. This is the most important thing.
Just like the relationship between men and women in his movies, Bergman, when dealing with the relative relationship between camera movement and character movement, made them neither normative nor restless, full of dislocation and entanglement. There is incredible tension and stickiness between these movements.
6. Because of "Silence", Bergman's landlord decided not to rent an apartment to him.
The landlord said that a good tenant should not make pornographic movies.
I said, the scenes of East masturbating and Anna having sex with the waiter are really good.
7. I don't like nor can I understand Bergman's use of Rubens' "The Robbery of Lucip's Daughter". If it was just a footnote to Anna's eroticism, it would be superfluous.
8. The great lady Ingrid Turing, your performance will be immortal.
