Sitting chess with death? Bergman's in-depth explanation of death coming

The issue of life and death has always been a subject that many creators like to touch, and the influence of this subject is also very high among the audience. Because the subject matter can provoke thoughts, creators can always find too many core points whenever they create related creations. Some creators are fond of expressing the steadfastness of life, while others are good at reflecting the calmness of death.

The movie we recommend today belongs to the latter category. In the face of death, many people are uneasy, but some people can face death openly, and can even talk to death face to face. Although this attitude can not reach the general public, but when we watch this film, this attitude can also inspire the audience. It turns out that people who face death frankly, their inner activities are like this.

The Seventh Seal" is one of Bergman's rare fantasy films. Of course, this film is still centered on religious themes. Through the religious theme, Bergman found a truth, which is suitable for the core of the film and can provoke the audience to think deeply about the problem. After the war, the knight should have welcomed a new life, but at this time, death came. When the knight faces Death, he does not feel unbelievable and fearful like other people, instead, he invites Death to play chess with him. Instead, the knight invited Death to play chess with him and agreed to play a game of chess to decide whether to live or die. In game after game of chess, the knight gained survival.

The analogy between the game of chess and life and death, the film is indeed very "advanced" in this regard. This advancement is reflected in a way that everyone can understand to explain some things. Because the audience's concept of life and death is abstract, the creator needs to find an abstract concept to express concretely. Ultimately, Bergman presents this figuration in a way that the general audience can understand, which is an improvement.

In the process of playing chess with death, the knight recalls the life he once experienced, and the scene is déjà vu. Many people in the process of recalling their life, always reflect on the reality of the dilemma, because the reality of their own does not slow down the aging of life, so in the mass, always see or think of their former story. Knight remembered his friends, remembered his loved ones, remembered what he had done, but also remembered how he faced "death" in reality.

This series of memories, so that the knight slowly become frank? Seems not, if the beginning of the knight in the face of death attack, he can use jokes and curses to play down his fear of death. Or perhaps the knight who has experienced a great battle is not afraid of death. However, when he recalls his past, this fear does not become a fear.

Only after experiencing the baptism of life and death, people will face death openly, the knight should have been so, but when he remembered the good life, but very embarrassing to re-examine the death, this time, after re-examination, the knight became not openly, but, on the coangrierre angry.

Death always comes and goes, but every time it comes it always takes away some people. The knight is used to seeing life and death, originally there is not much fear of death, however, when he saw his life in what kind of things to do, their friends in what kind of life. The meaning of living was once again in front of his eyes, and the fear of death was magnified. After experiencing life and death, the knight was not afraid of death, but after seeing how vibrant life once was, the knight's original spirit was awakened. He prefers life to death. Thus, death was chastised. What exactly is his meaning?

Taking away everyone without distinction seems to be the ultimate purpose of Death, yet this purpose is too simple and brutal in its implementation. Death's demand for souls does not take into account the scope of a person's life. It is possible that when you are in the prime of life, death will give you a painful blow to the heart, perhaps when you have a highlight one second, the next you will experience the "cold bottom". We can understand that death always happens when a person's will is depressed, but when a person is at the height of the moment, death will become difficult to accept. This is exactly the reason why death is criticized by people like knights.

When they once again face death, the pronouncement of life and death does not seem to matter much, what matters is what death means to all of you here. They can face openly, or hang on to death. The knight this time has not played chess when the calm, but is replaced by the same anger as the people here. Death always comes at an inopportune time, but the arrival of death does not bring a new breath to this cheerful earth, instead, the happy smile is frozen, and life becomes gray again.

What is the meaning of death? The film does not have a precise expression, which even death does not know, but the meaning of survival is elaborated in many ways, whether it is moral corruption or physical pleasure, these are the manifestation of survival, but also represents the diversity of beauty on earth, death is ultimately an experience, but this experience is cruelly deprived of the diversity of survival, giving a devastating It is a devastating blow. No one wants to live like this.

So, when death comes, do you dare to play chess with him?
