Persona

The film depicts an actress who suddenly refuses to speak, and the nurse who takes care of her speaks more and more because she can't stand the silence, pouring out her personal eroticism as a vent. As a result, the roles of the two are subtly merged into one. This film is one of the masterpieces of director Ingmar Bergman. He deeply explores the extreme suffering of human beings and minds. The subject is esoteric and difficult to understand, but the shooting method is bold and experimental, the image is sharp, and the photography is excellent. In addition, actors such as Bibi Anderson and Liv Ullman also performed very well in the film, which added a lot to the film.

The first movie of 2018SIFF, an almost terrifying viewing experience. A great movie is probably about making a fuss from the mental state of the characters, and letting the characters affect the development of the plot. The punchy clips and direct metaphors really do make you look neurotic. . .

Three brushes. 1. Ending with the beginning and end of the film itself, the symbols of the old film are constantly interspersed and reproduced (penis, Jesus, lamb, child, old man), Bergman kneads his sincerity and all kinds of past experiences into a rubbing mask. Resurrection boy, looking directly at the most real suffering and suffering of human inner emotions in the incoherent and deep dream. The screen that is intended to be a mirror is the entrance for the audience to enter the character's thoughts. 2. Women are Bergman's favorite narrative carriers and anatomical objects. He is also used to depicting women as individuals and extending them to refer to the macro level of society. Two women who are placed in the same situation and reflect each other, the listener who refuses to communicate and the narrator who is eager to communicate, the faces overlap and the split personality. Society, family, stage, no matter where we are, we can't strip away the mask. | "Every time you wake up from a dream, be vigilant: how others see you, and who you really are; every deceitful saying, every fake expression, every bitter smile. You won't choose suicide, but you can be silent" . 3. Boiling water, glass slag. 4. The repetition of text paragraphs, high-contrast light sources set off the characters' thoughts. (9.5/10)

Sister Alma: You can't know how I feel. I always thought great artists felt this great compassion for other people, that they created art out of great compassion and a need to help. That was silly of me.

Sister Alma: Does it have to be like this? Is it really so important not to lie, to tell the truth, to speak in a genuine tone of voice? Can a person really live without babbling away, without lying and making up excuses and evading things? Isn't it better to just let yourself be silly and sloppy and dishonest? Maybe a person gets better by just letting herself be who she is.
