Everyone is mortal

There are four kinds of people, one is afraid of death and hopes in God, they whip each other and beg God's forgiveness in the face of the plague; the other is chivalrous and plays with death, but the chessboard is always tilted to death's side, but again. What does it matter, the more important thing in chess is attitude, and the outcome seems less important; one is a natural optimist, which is not the same as people who are just in time, their optimism is a belief in love and hope, so it can be seen To the light of the Virgin Mary; the last kind of person sees the fear of death, finds something that can benefit from the weakness of human nature, so spreads the fear, amplifies the contradiction, and loses it because of what he uses. everything.

In the face of death Bergman gave the answer: nothingness, everything is nothingness. In this endless emptiness, the army is in chaos, the plague is rampant, and there is still warmth in the sad days, just like the wild strawberries and milk, the setting sun and the sound of the piano, so in the end, only the Jove family escaped death.

Bergman denies the existence of God. Death, like priests, can sneak into the confession booth to listen to people's confessions to God. But those who execute girls to death do the devil's deeds under the guise of God. The truth leaked: "For the devil's sake...not God." What is faith? "Faith is a heavy burden, like falling in love with someone in the dark, no matter how much you cry, they won't show up." Faith is just a tool to hypnotize the ego by fear of death, and we will never get a response.

All beings say that they would rather die pure than live in hell, but what qualifications do they have to be pure? All the fools who take pleasure in the misery of others have the blood of Satan flowing.

Bergman is really a master of golden sentences, "A skeleton is more attractive than a naked woman.", "No matter where you go, your ass follows you.", "Love is the most terrible plague, and only death can be liberated." Comrades who write official accounts should learn more.

Finally, I want to say, this god of death is really busy, he has to cut down a tree to kill a person. What year and month will this be killed? It's time to improve his business ability.

    Fortunately, this masterpiece has a storyline, so it doesn't look boring. It's not clear what Bergman's intentions are, but I feel that the director is trying to express the human fear of death, the sins that will be committed. The Bible book of Revelation says that when the seventh seal is opened, God's secret will be revealed. This secret is also the "secret" that the knight repeatedly asked, and the death god's answer is: I have no secret. Is it because human beings think too complicated about God?

    #2018年6月重温# "Dancing the solemn dance of death and going to the dark country" has a very high metaphor. Each role refers to each class. In the dark Middle Ages when the plague is pervasive and humanity is lost, no one is spared Escape from the hand of the god of death (God), only a family of innocent and good actors walks into the clear light, which will also be reflected in later works; the collection of Bergman's style is the ultimate human torture, and fear swallows the soul .
