The Unveiling
The Seventh Seal(1957)
Dir: Ingmar Bergman
This would be an analytical review about the Movie From my prospective (Spoiler Alert)
- in the Country side a knight meets with death ,two horses clashes ,the sky has 4 suns and the Swedish language got you witched .
- The seal is revealed and the game starts with bishops waiting like a snipers to catch death moves but who can hide from it ?
- How to beat death ? that was the main problem that faces our hero who have return to his home from The Crusades
"The void is like a mirror and I see myself in it" this was his words when he confess to death that he can't beat him and he want to search for the way he can beat him, death accepts his offer -
_the first way that our hero take that he would watch death for most of his moves _
snakes watching death they look in his eye with no regrets nor fear and when death go
away they would attack him that was his first strategy he confess to death and death
replies "I will remember that".
Death plays his wining move in the next scene that destiny is inevitable
"kunscape" that our knight want is a Very tricky move he wanted in the First But Suddenly Death Provide A very counter to that move that Humans Know Nothing
if they watch death and if they didn't they can't stop his moves that lies in the cracks of their own moves which is reflected by their Own souls (Time is The Recorder for that)
As death is the Power of the Soul
All other things that is available in that game you can have is Free well in the Net of Destiny.
Now death Wants to teach Antonius block (Our knight) that how foolish is the human Soul play a rule in the theatre of the destiny.
Envy , Lust, Killing , Even Justice all Are humans actions that Shape the Destiny And here Can death hide and play his Games.
Now Joseph is a Clown that represent the Human Soul that has a very deep understanding to the Game for it knows its foolishness and Accept it in that way Joseph were able to Control His soul
Now After he accept the Trojan, death Can show himself to Antonius As a Very peaceful Player For the death is only doing his duty And the Fight is Over.
this was the only way to beat death in his own knowledge.
Living was the key for him to defeat death being happy was the way.
Joseph and Mari memory and the good things that happened in the dusk was True moments and Antonius know that they will be the sign to get death defeated.
Now death Play his savage Move And Only Appear in the Events That shown in the Scenes :
- Death of The sinner when the Tree is cut
- Death of The Girl that was though to know the Devil
joseph see them playing so he escapes with his wife and leave Antonius alone before death took his queen.
Now Antonius know all his moves will lead to death but before he resigns he scattered the pieces of chess As he wanted to say when he will be with Joseph and Mari and in the present of religion he will never die As death is not part of life we do not live to experience death with that since life has no ends.
then death smashes his silence with a peaceful ,calm and charming move and rearrange the board to the last position and say to him "I remember every thing".
now he lose the game knowing that his wife and his friends will leave him in the end
and he will pay the contract.
he asked him one important question will you reveal your secret
death tells him that i have no secrets
then he tells him do you know a thing
death replies I know nothing
I believe death tells him the truth he know nothing he has no secret for humans understand world by their reelections, they thinks of god as themselves
death was the void he saw himself in it but if the death was the mirror
where is the reflections of god come from ?
