Didn't read any introductions and didn't know the director. I would like to thank my friends and neighbors for letting me see it on the big screen and record my thoughts.
After watching the whole movie, you can feel the strong transition style and delicate emotional expression. The actors perfectly deduce the depression of human nature in the big room. The murmur of the cello is indeed, as Gorky said, can enter the soul, so where there is a cello, words may not exist.
Four women, one play. The position of the other three people at the time of Agnes's onset can be seen in their personalities.
Karin usually stands second. She is worried about her sister, but she tries her best to hide her emotional expression. She wears an all-black dress, with high shoulder pads and corsets, like a nun; and Maria, I personally think she is the most emotional. Yes, unlike other neighbors, I think she is the most innocent and lively one (since childhood), so she can flirt with the doctor boldly in the house, and hold her sister's in fear after Karin escapes from the house Hand (although she was still scared to cry), you can also sneak some money to Anna and leave, she is not a bad person, she is just too naive, disgust is disgust, like is like. So she hid in the far corner of the room when Agnes cried, so she was the first to cry. And Anna, it may be a mother's love, or it may be a unique emotion for Agnes. Every time, she comes to Agnes's side with a sincere anxious look to take care of her, hug her, and accompany her in a breastfeeding state. She doesn't have a montage of her own, but she permeates every corner of the story, including her dead daughter.
It can be seen that the heroines in the story are more or less dissatisfied with the emotional status quo, and because of this dissatisfaction, I guess I used many fantasy shots (such as the only two scenes with blood stains), and these shots show What comes out is that these girls have the idea of breaking out of the status quo, but haven't taken that step. Perhaps because of Bergman's interpretation of red's "soul", the bloodstained scenes were actually what the girls wanted, including the knife on Maria's husband's chest and the glass shards Karin cut through her vagina, which were not real.
The bravest is actually Anna. When she shouted in Agnes, her undisguised worried eyes, hurried body movements and gentle whispers contained possible "love", "family affection", or just "friendship". ”, but from the scene of Anna holding Agnes like the Virgin Mary, and refusing her wish for inheritance and lighting a candle, she began to read Agnes' diary, and the suspicion of any secret feelings disappeared, only knowing that they There is sincere affection between them. They were all the same, so lonely.
In fact, the tragedies of girls are mostly caused by loneliness. When the husband goes out for a long time and the sisters talk less and less, Maria's symptoms similar to skin thirst and Karin's repeated attempts to commit suicide and the idea of closing her heart appear. And Agnes' cries of "who can save me".
Male characters are missing, but the male gaze is everywhere. Women of that era could not escape these confinement. Hope, as Beauvoir said:
One day in the future, a woman may not love with her weakness, but with her strength, not to escape from herself, but to discover herself, not to devalue herself, but to express herself - on that day, love will not matter to a man. For her, it will be a source of life, not a source of mortal danger.
But until that day comes, love is the bane in its most moving form.
Finally, my favorite translation of the title is "Shout and Whisper".
Shouting, it is the hostess's. They have husbands and property, but they are not free. Their waists, their restraints on themselves, they have ideas of resistance but no motivation to practice. They shouted in their hearts, they shouted in reality, but it was only a "whisper" in the ears of the world.
Whisper, it's Anna's. She has no house, no inheritance, but she is the freest. She is gentle, but most like "myself". Her gentle whisper is a struggling "cry" to the world.
Whether that is a lie or the truth is just a touch of red.
