Young people should buy a green one

Bergman's early films were in his thirties when they were filmed. The time is relatively linear, including some plots and music that are quite straightforward. For example, they sailed back to the city after wandering, the depiction of the city is very depressing, and the music is low and tense. The dialogue is also very straightforward, feeling some traces of literary adaptation.

Monica is absolutely innocent, Monica shows vitality during the journey, and taking a bath on the beach is a classic. But in the end, it also leads to contradictions and tragedies with family and society, which is also an inconsistent contradiction between personal personality and civilized society.

The heroine is so cute, you know, I only watched her play "Shouts and Whispers" before, and that was her who was thirty years later, playing a dying person. Before the film was shown, there was a short interview with Bergman, saying that the script was about one man and one woman, and both of them were not doing well at work, so let's make it. And the director also said that he had a superficial love for Harriet Anderson during filming, and there are traces of his love in the movie.

It seems today that part of Monica's personality (not working, disliked her husband for less money, no money to watch movies and buy coats) is really similar to today's idyllic feminism.

The second movie of the festival. From the male protagonist Xi to be a father, he asked a worker, "I have to buy a flower, what color should I buy a carnation?" The worker said with experience: "You should buy a green one if you are young!"

Then the movie watching experience collapsed a bit, and the audience laughed to death. Of course, they must know the ending, and I was spoiled for it. And when the male lead saw her newborn daughter, Monica said regretfully, "Are you unhappy? Because she can't be Harry II." Everyone laughed again. Afterwards, Monica said, "You don't care about me at all, you only know that you are addicted to learning." This stalk of learning has been laughed many times, and you can use a screenshot as an emoticon pack.

    In addition to the great success of the character, Monica, a middle school girl, is nothing more than a life living in the clouds. In the end, the huge conflict between ideals and reality leads to a tragic ending.

    A minimalist Bergman film, without the obscure chords that followed him, but very moving, especially the shot of Monica turning around and looking at the camera, definitely one of the most powerful shots in film history, that is to the morals of the audience. A fearless response to questioning. It was also Bergman's own favorite film, but he kept going. Personally, I feel that the Darnay brothers' films have inherited the mantle of this film to some extent after many years.
