my body, there seems to be a black hole that cannot be filled.
After a period of time, it will run out uncontrollably, devour everything, deny everything.
At this time, it seems that I don't even know myself, and
the whole world seems to be negative, dark, helpless, strange, and indifferent. .
Once, whenever this black hole appeared, I wanted to try to escape it,
but its power was too great, I couldn't get rid of it, I could only let it tear.

All the time, I want to find a guardian angel of the oracle.
I want him to hold my hand and
accompany me like that when I am extremely vulnerable and hesitant, and quietly pass through the black hole like a storm. Baptism,
but I don't know where this angel is or what kind of coat he's wearing.
I still don't have the piercing eyes of disguise, so
I can still only be aimlessly restless and helplessly resist in the boundless black hole.

Most of the time, I seek solace in movies and music.
Those old black and white movies, either because of the simple sweetness or because of the real cruelty,
made my heart too heavy, in these details, gradually emerged,
and when I saw the sun again, the whole world became beautiful and beautiful again. vivid.
It's just that the crisis is still lurking, but I don't know when it will strike again.

Can it be said that a normal person is a lunatic who has not collapsed, and a lunatic is a normal person who has collapsed.
Bergman has a movie called "Through A Glass Darkly", the name comes from the New Testament 1 Corinthians.
There is a sentence in one of Paul's letters, and the whole sentence goes like this:
For now we see through a glass, but then face to face: now I know in part, but then
shall I know even as also I am known.
Is it "through a mirror in the dark"? But the boundless darkness makes me feel calm,
like rain, like a windy night outside the window, within a square inch, I slept peacefully.

Maybe I just haven't collapsed in this mortal world.
But why am I crashing? Those incomparably beautiful things in life still support and pull me.
So, I am a child who needs love, I need infinite love,
gain, disbelieve, test again and again, lose, so I don't believe again...
In an infinite cycle, time flies, and years gradually grow old .
Maybe I was entangled in a question that didn't have an answer.
What exactly is love? The Bible says that love is patient and kind; love is not jealous...
It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails.

In the movie, when Minus discovers the reality that anything can happen, he asks his father: What should I do?
Father said, you have to grab something. minus said, what is that?
Father's prescription is: love. Any love, all kinds of love, great love, humble love, all love.
Follow the son to ask: What about God? The father replied that God is love, and perhaps it should be said that God exists in love.

    The wrestling in [Still in the Mirror] mainly comes from the two brothers and sisters. One of them represents the trend of regressing toward childhood, toward the womb, toward the mysterious and chaotic unknown, and the other through incest and undergoes a gradual artistic process. Mature. The father was trapped in a loveless emptiness. So the emptiness is deified as the spider god in the daughter, and the father finally juxtaposes love and God in the son. This first part dealing with the state of human existence after God’s silence finally uses love as a remedy for the pessimistic situation of mankind, and subsequent Bergman works no longer see such a happy ending.

    The plot adopts a progressive narrative method, advanced and obscure, but the core belief problem is highlighted with the onset of the illness only halfway through the movie. It seems that the atmosphere and logic are asymmetry, which is really inadequate, just like AN Lundkewei Stur’s evaluation: (Bergman) seems to pin his beliefs on inspiration and art as much as possible, like a kind of self-sufficient magic, but then he put on a layer of misleading to a certain extent Maybe it’s just to prevent yourself from exposing too much... The unclear content and purpose often lead to Bergman’s movies uncomfortable but interesting, seductive and challenging. The reason is precisely because of this. Vagueness, this is the dilemma of art, which not only pushes him forward, but also risks being dragged down, because this is both his strength and his weakness
