I’ll start with an easy one. Bergman and Kierkegaard.

Though on the face that's a terrible pairing, it does work somehow. Bergman's views aren't compatible with my own, but he was a talented director. I want to see what his theatre is like.

I could have fun making lots of pairs, but I'll limit myself to this one:

Kaneto Shindo and Aeschylus

Bergman wouldn't be intelligent enough to be inspired by Kierkegaard. He was undoubtedly skilled, but his best movies, or scenes, are those in which he holds the subject aloof from himself, in which he is a real artist depicting a subject. However, 99% of his movies are just the neurotic vomit he has projected over the screen, without a second thought if the viewer might not be scared of the particular monster under the bed (which changes with every movie) that he is.

It is frankly insulting to Kierkegaard to equivalate him with Bergman. Kierkegaard was a genuine Christian, Bergman, at best, just used Christianity as an outlet for his gay human dramas.

Bergman is decisively not a Christian. He was rebelling against the Christianity of his parents. He exemplifies the atheist existentialism brought about by the World Wars, but that isn't the point. It is their perpendicularity which makes it a nice pairing. Nta, however.

He so is. Onibaba is one of the most primal films I've ever seen and its rife with Greek references. Name a better character than Clytemnestra to correlate to the onibaba.

[Anonymous No.23506318]

I agree that Bergman is a bit wet thematically but he is a very good writer and director. Probably from his background in theater, like you mention.

He is able to explore profound philosophical ideas very efficiently, both in terms of resources and screen-time (most of his films are very low budget and only run 90 minutes), which is something I feel is missing from a lot of modern cinema which is much more cinema-centric rather than dramatic/theatrical.

Also the narrative A Christmas Carol doesn't actually have much do with Christmas really, other than its set during that time and its appeal to a generic "Christmas spirit". It's like Die Hard or Home Alone in that regard.

Clytemnestra wasn't some embodiment of female morality and jealousy. She was avenging herself based on her right as a mother. And Onibaba TRIES to be primal, it partially succeeds, but it also still bears the traces of the attempt. And philosophically it's worlds apart from Aeschylus. Something like Gance's Napoleon is closer.

So exactly what the old woman in Onibaba is, gotcha. Lol. Not only that, the entire point of Onibaba IS the primal nature of humanity and man and woman. Your criticism is empty.

Franco Piavoli and Marcel Proust

I chose Proust instead of the more obvious Homer because the themes of time, nostalgia and changing identity are better exemplified in Proust even if Nostos is influenced by Odyssey Book 23.

What does Bergman have to do with Kierkegaard? The former was an atheist, while the latter was a devout Christian.

[Anonymous No.23510016]

Bergman became an atheist at some point in the early 60s, prior to that he struggled with faith, as often reflected in his films, most clearly in Seventh Seal, the story of the Knight's tortured search for faith. It is very likely that the Knight's confession to Death, whom he supposes is a priest, is close to Bergman's own feelings, at that time, about God.

>What is going to happen to those of us who want to believe, but aren’t able to? ...Why can’t I kill God within me? Why does He live on in this painful and humiliating way even though I curse Him and want to tear Him out of my heart? Why, in spite of everything, is He a baffling reality that I can’t shake off?

And the Knight's quest for God is arguably successful. He has a final, peaceful meal with the happy Christian couple Mia and Jons.

>I'll carry this memory between my hands as carefully as if it were a bowl filled to the brim with fresh milk.
>And it will be an adequate sign -- it will be enough for me.

Now, this can fairly be compared to Kierkegaard, or at least it is so argued here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B_D0efnj7E

For Goddard I would recommend 'Breathless' or 'Band of Outsiders.'

I'm surprised it took so long for von Trier to get mentioned. I'm a sort of not-a-fan fan of him. I've seen many of his movies several times a piece, but I think he fails miserably at everything he tries to do. What I do like about him is that he always always actually has something to say. Whether its worth saying or he manages to get it out effectively is another matter.
