I do not mind that you have to work a bit to find out what is going on, but some of the elements here is just confusing or maybe ambigious. <br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-38416872960253623512016-04-15T17:58:37.680+03:002016-04-15T17:58:37.680+03:00I think in a lot of ways this might be one of Berg...I think in a lot of ways this might be one of Bergman's greatest films, but it suffers from not being that accessible. I'd rather watch a lot of his other films. I can't say I enjoyed it, or even fully understood it.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-71795277884380075632016-04-14T14:09:10.702+03:002016-04-14T14:09:10.702+03:00I thought of that already while watching The Seven...I thought of that already while watching The Seventh Seal. It is a powerful symbol and I wonder if it is a special Swedish thing. It is also difficult not to think of "Rosebud" from Citizen Kane.<br />The Wind sounds interesting. I will put it on my list.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-74186519704467297252016-04-14T13:57:37.898+03:002016-04-14T13:57:37.898+03:00I have a feeling that Bergman is an aquired taste....I have a feeling that Bergman is an aquired taste.

And I think they symbolize the same thing - life, youth, and hope. I don't rank this one quite up with The Seventh Seal. I think it's kind of distancing even if you have plenty of time. But you could probably watch it many times and pick up new meaning each time.<br /><br />If you ever get a chance, you should watch Sjöström's The Wind (1928). It's an excellent movie and one of Gish's greatest performances in a career filled with greats.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-17941260636643437052016-04-13T22:34:36.101+03:002016-04-13T22:34:36.101+03:00This was the second Bergman film I ever saw many y...This was the second Bergman film I ever saw many years ago and it didn't do much for me. As a whole I tend to not like many of his films anyway, so I can't say that my reaction was simply because I had seen so little of his work.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
