how much you like this film will strongly depend on whether or not you’ve seen many Bergman films
Having seen at least a couple dozen Bergman films, this biographical movie made a lot more sense to me than if I hadn’t. I could see bits and pieces of his other films, particularly parallels with Fanny and Alexander. This movie was written by but not directed by Ingmar Bergman and tells about a portion of his father and mother’s lives (with particular focus on the father). However, unlike the cruel and over-zealous preacher from Fanny and Alexander, Bergman’s father is a flawed man full of dichotomies. A very pious and severe man with little sense of humor, he also apparently has no problem with premarital sex (with two different women) and is an advocate for the working poor. I think these inconsistencies and his father’s difficulty with expressing normal human emotions lead to Bergman’s earlier works (such as the professor in Wild Strawberries and the persistent theme of living in the barren wilds in movies such as The Passion of Anna and Shame).So, why didn’t I score the movie higher? Well despite the insights, the movie was very long and occasionally tedious–particularly for the Bergman novices. Plus, although the movie gave us some insights, the actual span of time covered in the film was rather limited. It was like a glimpse but an incomplete glimpse of the man.
Thought Provoking
Take care of yourself first; only a filled cup can pour into others.The pastor could be happy alone or with anyone. He tried to help people who he couldn’t help and his joy drained with theirs. He was a self-created martyr. His pain was unnecessary, as he himself said earlier.
The wife could be happy alone or with anyone. She was in it for the emotional roller coaster. She wants emotion of any sort rather than mundane steady happiness. She states her failures in the beginning and they strongly allude to this.
Both mothers see the future. Our family generally knows us apart from our self-delusion. Respect other people and consider their perspectives. Then make your own decisions. But the mothers couldn’t stop fate. Best to go with the flow when fate is unavoidable.
Painful to watch but bittersweet because we can choose to avoid this sort of pain. We can choose decisions which give us joy, and when we have joy, then the joy is shared naturally with others.
