Soul, the soul of this film lies in the final monologue. Bergman put the thoughts he wanted to express through Ester’s lines, “We want others to have a right attitude, but I found that it’s useless at all, that power is too strong, I It means that dark power, a terrifying power, between ghosts and elves, you must be careful in everything", Ester's expression changed, as if seeing the darkness, reaching out to grasp the truth, but lost, feeling so weak. Why is it that he loves his dearest person so deeply, but it turns into hatred, what is love? Why is God always silent, and then immediately denied his belief "I'm just talking about loneliness, it's just a waste of time".
The flesh, when the people of the world are dominated by the material flesh, the affection becomes weak. No matter how close the family is, you can’t kiss the thoughts in your heart. Anna’s respect for her sister is the reason why she always suppresses the freedom in her heart. The thoughts in her heart constantly refuted Ester's thoughts, turning into fear and hatred, because that infringed on her belief in her heart. When Anna quarreled with her sister, she felt the rupture of family love and the evil in her body, which could not be tolerated. When she burst into tears, the demon behind her shackled her, just like Karin in the first "Still in the Mirror" was injected with secular tranquilizers. It immediately softened and was immediately succumbed. Humans are sometimes just like animals. , So vulnerable, and even feel evil, there is no room for struggle. This will be regarded as a lunatic by reality. Gradually, people will become numb, succumbed to the world, and become one of them. After a few years, they will even It is very pitiful and sad to laugh at the ideal that I insisted on back then as naive. Ester stroked Anna's head calmly and calmly on the surface, but in his heart he said with grief: Poor Anna, poor Anna. Because the beauty in her heart was broken, her faith was broken.
In life, Ester pressed the old man's head and said those profound and sensitive words. Through the old man's confused expression, there were some sincere and eternal questions, even if he lived to have white temples, he might not feel it. From the perspective of a lonely old man, it is implicit from the side: how empty and lonely a person's life is, his wife dies, and is separated from life with children, lonely as a child, playing and eating like a child, sharing a piece with the child Chocolate for pleasure, eating leftovers from others in a small room, just to make myself live older.
Silence, from a child’s perspective, saw silence, silence on tanks, silence on war, silence on the chaotic streets, silence on the lonely old man, silence on the seven dwarfs, silence on secular entertainment, silence on Anna Sin is silent, and subjectively silent about Ester. Childhood thoughts are sincere, and this is often included in Fellini's films. When sincere people fall into the muddy world, they have to be silent, so sensitive people understand that "silence is gold."
Worldly, life is like these seven dwarfs, hurriedly passing by, on stage (in life) desperately juggling (work), behind the scenes (inner heart) numb souls, imprisoned by the void, tortured by boredom, sometimes even Pretend to be satisfied.
Belief, Ester’s subjective thoughts did infringe on her sister’s thoughts to some extent, but she didn’t know it herself. She had always loved her sister so deeply, but it became a violation, became so empty, and finally abandoned in despair. The faith in her heart, because it is only the love she thinks, the love in her heart, the subjective love, is her own belief that was confused by Satan’s thoughts. She wanted to correct her thoughts and get rid of the darkness, but finally found that she still couldn’t get rid of the shackles of darkness. The evil still exists in her heart. What he thinks of righteousness and love are only the products derived from Satan’s thoughts, and even the "love" for his younger sister is the main reason that leads to her rebellion, family breakup, and her loneliness. The most painful thing for people is , The decline of faith, what I have insisted on, and I have been trying to get rid of what I hate, but in the end I find that I have been used by the evil one. Not only is everything nihility, but I also feel unbearable evil.
It's just that, no matter how sensitive people are, they will never be able to see the truth and fall into their own beliefs instigated by Satan's thoughts. People cannot clean themselves. Ester wants to be a righteous person from the spiritual level, just like the priest in the second "Winter Light". On the surface, it is rules and regulations, but her heart is full of struggle. When she feels His own sins are equally unbearable, and there is no self-confidence. People, who didn't use the spirit rescue ring to get out of the muddy water, couldn't match Satan's thoughts after all.
