That's all I have to say, what do you think is your business

Text screenshots are from Bergman's autobiography "The Magic Lamp" in his later years

key word: drama

Bergman spent decades as a theater owner before making movies again, and his theatrical career is closely related to his life

Keyword 2: Humor

Bergman claims in his autobiography that he has no sense of humour and that being alone is a bizarre sense of humour

I laughed so hard while reading this
humorous self-deprecating

Key words two: performance and reality

Emily's character is, in a way, Bergman's splintered self—one who doesn't feel real, a little cold, intimacy-stricken but imbued with the artist's sentimentality.

Keyword 3: Childhood and Self

Keyword 4: Intimacy

Bergman says no illusions about intimacy

Keyword 5: God

'I have dealt with my unpleasant relationship with God all my life'

Keyword 6: Reality

Keyword 7: Emotion

In Bergman's text, in the lines, you can see the most emotional and feeling words for people. The deeper the understanding of people, the deeper the presentation.

It would be an understatement to say he was a psychologist

Keyword 8: Family and Ritual

Keyword eight: old age is coming

Old age is coming, like the end of the drama, the lights of the camera go out

Key words nine: world and existence

Although Bergman "has dealt with an unpleasant relationship with God all his life," he is indeed a Buddhist-style religious man.

Fascinated by the existence of time and space, he explained the "expansion of the universe" in the words of the bishop.

Must like Einstein more than Bergman

Keyword ten: I am Bergman

Watch this 5 hour 21 minute feature film

Bergman used the film as a summary of his film career and life

I can't help crying at the end

For Bergman, I can't "stop looking at the mountains and see the scenery"

So familiar with infatuation and inseparability

like my left hand signs my right hand

In the end, I can only stare at each other and say nothing.

Beloved Bergman

    #BJIFF# ​​From a superficial understanding, Alexander is naturally Bergman's own projection. As a priest, his stepfather corresponds to Bergman's own physical father, and his biological father (Strindberg) who devoted himself to the drama corresponds to his spiritual father. The ghosts of the two in the film always revolve around Alexander, corresponding to the motifs and clues that run through Bergman's works in reality.

    Very good and powerful movie, Bergman is still entangled with religion, but every movie has to collide with that "ultimate" is too boring, I don't resonate

Fanny and Alexander quotes

  • Teatern - Filip Landahl: ...They no longer wish to hear the songs of giants. They are content with the tunes of dwarfs.

  • Jacobis hus - Isak Jacobi: Everything is alive. And everything is God, or God's intention. Not only the good things, but the cruelest and worst. What do you think?

    Ekdahlska huset - Alexander Ekdahl: If there is a God, he's a shit and piss God, that I'd like to kick in the arse.
