I already have the habit of being forced to write a film review, and I don’t even know if I have seen the film if I don’t write a film review, so I have to force myself to write a film review. However, the master's work is really incomprehensible. Various symbolic arts are simply a great test for normal people's ability to understand.

    ①The silent liar is the crucified Jesus, the disguised wife is the pure saint, and the old wizard is the calm saint. ②The image of the doctor is a film critic who criticized Bergman's films badly at that time, in order to point out the gap between art and media, so as to question the possibility of communication between individuals of different classes. ③ A person who has not seen Bergman's films is best to start from this film, because this film can see most of the author symbols of his artistic career.

    For example, the circus in "Night of the Clown" continues in the context of the absence of God. In "Face", Freud's "id" is gradually removed from everyone's face like a mask, but it does not mean that the Gehman was negative about "mysticism" and sided with scientism, on the contrary, the former actually won. The comic "resolve" may mirror secular politics or miracles, the first Fellini-esque cartoon characters in Bergman's work

The Magician quotes

  • Johan Spegel: Let us rest a moment and breathe. Twilight is falling and this is the last day of life. I've always longed for a knife, a blade to lay bare my entrails, set my brain and heart free, free from my substance and cut away my tongue and my manhood. A sharp blade that would scrape out all uncleanliness. Then the so-called spirit would rise up from this meaningless carcass.

  • Johan Spegel: The author presumes there's a great general thing called truth somewhere out there. That theory is pure illusion.
