what a beautiful human being filled with complexion, beauty, and vulnerability. He embraced the realm of suffering, thus portraying a sense of purity to the world through his films.
I think Persona is a great movie, very intriguing. The more I read and see about Ingmar Bergman the more I value him. Together with Antonioni my favorite film maker.
@@johnmulligan455 great piece John, thanks for putting it out! Could I be so rude, though, to suggest you use a different font in the future, it's a tad difficult to read with all the spacing in between the letters haha!
@@ed1rko17 That was François Truffaut. The filmmakers Bergman hated were Robert Bresson and Jean Luc Godard, saying that Godard's Masculine Feminine was boring and that Bresson's Au Hassard Balthazar was painfully uninteresting. I like all of them though, although I have to say I prefer Bresson than Bergman wich is interesting because Andrei Tarkovsky's two favorite filmmakers of all time were Bresson and Bergman.
I think this is Bergman's best film, a masterpiece. If you know Bergman, Persona can be seen as a refinement and furtherance of The Silence. You have to see Persona more than once..
I think that after watching Persona I got a feeling that I'm contemplating myself from the outside. As if my soul had separated from my body and was noticing all my slightest actions and thoughts. That was my second initiation into the world of cinema, the distance between these two initiations is around 26 years. I watched many movies all these years - good, bad, excellent...But this was a mind blowing experience when the doors of perception opened once more. My first initiation was achieved after smoking pot. The second time I was completely sober, so after all these years I got a fresh feeling of magic made by dancing shadows on the wall. Bergman was a medium, I suppose, though on the surface it may seem like he is very verbal. But there's something between the lines... My acquaintance with him started also around 26 years ago, I watched Sawdust and Tinsel and Seventh Seal, and then up to recent moment he was on my "movies to watch before death" list. Bergman and Death, ha-ha! Then I came across him in Tarkovsky's lectures on cinematography, and because I was very interested in Tarkovsky's choice of movie directors and I remembered from my first encounter with Bergman that his films are worth watching, and because I've got some spare time and realized that I'm totally psychically tired and unable to do anything, I opened my list of films and after watching a few Bergman's time came. Well, his films fixed my broken rhythm of life and long awaited inspiration returned. To day, I've watched many of his films and I regret that not much left...Sorry, I may sound as a young girl first time in love but that;s what Bergman have done with me.
@@m.c.b.4323 Yeah, that's the one thing I don't like about him, in some aspects it seems as though he only casted the girls he was banging at the time. He had a relationship with Harriet Anderson aroun Summer of Monika, then he forgot about her once he started a relationship with Bibi Anderson, that didn't work, and after Persona he casted Liv Ullman in all of his films. I don't know, it wasn't strictly like that, but it felt as such. Still a great filmmaker all in all
friend, if this is popping up in my rec's via you, i have to wonder how far in front of me you are on this track of awakening to the limitations covertly imposed on being, which is truest freedom

Funny because didn't Bergman say that Antonioni is a boring film maker? lol

One of the best films of all times without a doubt
I think Persona can't be explained, even its maker failed to explain. This is his best, a top psychological movie.
Refused* like he refused to explain the majority of his movies. He only talked about how he got the inspiration to make them
I like when I go to sleep and I don't exist and nothing can happen to "me."

Yep, I've seen 5 of his films and Persona is by far my favourite.
Attractive, charming. Genius.
great psychologist filmmaker
Persona is one of the greatest artistic achievements. I enjoyed this interview. I can never get enough Bergman wisdom.
How can ''you'' have the feeling of non existing? Only shows that the memory still captured that moment.
That's cheered me up.When I don't exist, I'm gonna be happier!

Really enjoyed the film. Beautiful

Persona is similar to a good Bob Dylan song. Near impossible to explain but you know what it is some how. More of a feeling than explanation

He made some of the most depressing films ever. I read on his autobiography that he consider suicide at a very younger age. Fuck I don't blame him

lol it’s funny how he’s just explaining how awesome heroin is
So the guy was high when he made this, not really surprising... I sink dis excisting should not be excisting. Morphine is one hellova drug!
What the hack are you talking about?...
God, his english is awful!!!!!! And I'm swedish myself
It's actually very good. The accent is irrelevant.
So what?
His English is fantastic. He delivered every idea well.
I understood it well.
And you are??
It's a good thing that his filmmaking skills were better than his english. My God, my grandmother's dead cat spoke better english.
very insightful
How's your Swedish?
Wow... you're an asshole
How's your Swedish? Such a racist comment.
