Character determines that Monica is destined to be a tragic figure

I feel the same way, there are too many examples of this around me. Boys and girls who go out to work in their teens. In the boring work environment day after day, two lonely hearts walk together. They all grew up in a poor family, with a grumpy mother, an incompetent and poor father, and a never-ending quarrel. They are combined, and after the novelty is over, they quarrel over trivial life, while wanting to live freely and without financial ability. Live the life of an adult too early, but still look like a child. So it is inevitable to get married or quarrel, repeating the life of the parents' generation. Misfortune only breeds misfortune. Monica in the film is the epitome of a certain type of girl who, on the surface, loves freedom and wildness. Innocent, in fact, can not hide their indolence and dislike of work, lazy nature. Family misfortune is a sad thing, but it's not an excuse for depravity. Losing a man as good as Harry is nothing more than a broken shoe that others look down on in this life, not as good as a prostitute. But she was only 17 years old, and it seemed that nothing could be forgiven. When she is a little more mature, she may be able to walk out of her own happiness. It's just that shame and dignity are not innate or not. If some people lose it at the beginning, can they have it when they grow up? To live happier and freer, or to be more suffocated.

    A couples version of Wilderness Survival, and more profound. Youth, love, family, abandonment, still exudes Bergman's melancholy temperament, and the 21-year-old director's lover Anderson even created a precedent for actors to look at the camera. The only regret is that if it is a color film, the lens of the large-scale dreamy seascape will be more beautiful and romantic. 7.3

    When you can understand and accept Monica, you can probably be considered mature. Unshy, fighting Monica, doesn't play by the rules and ends up being cast out
