Let's go back to "Masquerade". At the beginning, I felt like I was watching a horror movie. All kinds of bizarre fragments were only accompanied by bizarre music. In addition, the comments on the playback page were almost one-sided and said that it was a bad movie, which made me suspicious. I opened the wrong page myself, and it wasn't until Bergman's name appeared on the screen that I realized it was the director's intention again. Before the 80-minute period, a B-level film element was piled up. What do you want to do?
After that, the film began to be formally narrated. Like "The Seventh Seal", the set was so simple and deserted that the actors began to speak rambling words and use all kinds of close-ups. However, the psychological meaning of this film is obviously much stronger than that of "The First". From the second party's speech but not entering the country, you can feel a faint sense of crampedness and control, and it also arouses the audience's desire to explore. Coupled with the setting of the set, the fluttering white gauze, the empty room, the emptiness of the dream is about to emerge. So, if you say you don't understand it, or you don't understand it like me, it's just because psychological movies are not easy to understand. For example, "Eight and a Half".
The first half of the movie is actually about personal fears. Whether it is tore up his son's photo or stare at the Vietnamese monk who set himself on fire, it all plays a leading and foil role in the uncontrollable fear of Uman. For the first time, the director pointed out that Uman's fear was through the doctor's mouth - as an actor, Uman felt that life was a disguise, so he refused to use words to whitewash himself. After that, the two heroines entered the mode of getting along with each other. Because they refused to speak, Miss Anderson, the nurse who took care of her, had to keep talking and confessed herself. After chatting again and again, she finally removed her mask, and she was not. The person who claimed to have no chance of cheating even played 4P and then had an abortion. And she has also become the research object of Uman in the repeated confessions. Finally, after reading Uman's letter to the doctor, Anderson realized that he had been deceived, and the two had a big fight, which led to a journey of fusion.
I watched this movie, and I was confused at first, and I saw that in the end, Anderson pointed out the reason why Uman refused to speak, and then I vaguely felt that Anderson was just Uman's alter ego. She examines, she expresses, she exposes, she replaces. She is the appearance of Uman. On that rainy night, Anderson confessed herself, and Uman actually spoke for the first time. Uman spoke, which means she showed her true self. I saw other film critics say that this 4P dissection actually has the same meaning as Uman's desire for an abortion. The two have something in common, so I think this is the same, that is, Uman began to admit Anderson and his other The self is the same first step. After that, the two looked at themselves silently in the mirror at night, and Anderson had already completed the fusion with Uman's other self. If Anderson is indeed a nurse in the first half, then after looking at each other in the mirror, Anderson's meaning is no longer a nurse, or in Uman's eyes, she has changed from a companion, an object for inspection, to a real transformation. Own. Anderson and Uman's husband talked comforting words, lingering, in fact, it was Uman who was doing it. After all, Uman's husband is not blind, and it's too ironic that he can't even recognize his own wife.
Speaking of the blind, Uman's husband really felt this kind of confusion at first. Those black sunglasses look too much like blind glasses. If I remember correctly, Anderson also wore these "blind glasses". After she discovered that Uman was openly discussing herself with the doctor in the letter, she also put on sunglasses when she sent the letter. And when he threw down his sunglasses, he said, "Even these sunglasses are a deception"! When her husband came, there was also a pair of sunglasses on his face. Combining with every righteous and affectionate letter he had written before, I always felt that he was also wearing a deceit and a mask.
Whether or not the ego has both. In the end, Uman left the hut. If she insisted on not wearing a mask at first, she wanted to seek the truth of life and truly strip away her hypocrisy. She did it in the climax part, but it was a pity that after stripping away all the hypocrisy of life, she Still have to wear a mask. Everything in this hut seems to have really been a fantasy.
