EastWindHolmes The first color film in Bergman's unique work is just to look at the color control in the scenes and decor. This is an unparalleled micro-graphic. Desperate and thoughtful masterpiece, which goes on to follow the filmmaker's view of human relationships, death and anxiety. It's a tragic moment to the film's beginning. It's a movie that's made up of dramatic effects, along with images of the hard and disturbing moments of the movie. It's a movie full of metaphors that comes in shape and color, meaning colors. And a symbol of something. The colorful metaphor in the cinema often and finally means for all cultures. In the film, all women wear white at the start. Backgammon consists of walls and floor carpets and part of the curtains, red and white, and are very tasteful. . Agnes, when he dies, wears white clothes, and places this black part on a red background. Bergman intelligently and with four characters provides a condition for metaphorical tale (Mariya refers to red as it is full of The passion and the youngest) When the family doctor arrives home for Agence's visit, Maria looks at Maria's tone of notice that there is a relationship between the two. The condition that the doctor drops from, but Maria does not. Maria allegory gets a passion for life. Carneville, an allegory of depression and frustrated excitement, seems to be a film about the fluency of Swedish women who refer to Bergman's feminist views and who have a great understanding of these issues, had the same look for Angelo Antonioni than Italian women With this view, each character is symbolized by women's morals (Anna is a symbol of innocence and anagnas, an allegory of oppressed love and an unplanned and early death)

blanche-2 Ingmar Bergman's Cries & Whispers is a story of death, real death and the walking dead, as epitomized by three sisters: Agnes (Harriet Andersson), Maria (Liv Ullmann) and Karin (Ingrid Thulin). At the turn of the century in Sweden, Maria and Karin come to visit their dying sister Agnes, who is in terrible pain from what is probably cancer. Agnes has perhaps a fantasy idea of her sisters, as the last scene tells us. In truth, Agnes is the only one capable of feeling pain; her sisters really don't want to be part of her dying process and are there out of obligation. Only the maid Anna is there to hold Agnes, to touch her, and to love her.Maria's affair hurt her marriage to the sensitive Joakim, and when he stabbed himself and begged for help, she just stood and looked at him. (Evidently he lives, though.) Karin hates her cold husband and what she does to keep him away from her is one of the most shocking scenes in the history of film.We're not told what childhood trauma, what "tissue of lies" of which Karin speaks that has driven these women to lack compassion or empathy; we know only that Maria was her mother's favorite. We don't know anything about the father. There is a homoerotic undertone to Karin's relationship with Maria, which Karin seems to both want and reject.The cinematography in Cries & Whispers in glorious, from the vivid red that is used to punctuate scenes, to the women's surrounds. In one startling scene that resembles a painting, the women sit in different parts of the room -- Maria in white, staring out the window which is framed by red drapes; Karin in gray at the piano, and on a sofa in the back, a dejected Anna. Each is lost in thought; they are miles apart.Later, as Anna reads Agnes' diary, Agnes recalls a walk the three sisters took along with Anna when they first arrived, the three sisters in crisp white with white umbrellas, Anna by their side. Stunning.The overall coldness of the family is downright icy as they talk about Anna at the end. Maria and Karin are unlikeable characters, and one has no sympathy for them. The only sympathy engendered is for Anna's ability to love and accept love in return and for Agnes' horrible suffering. Her suffering, however, ends. Her sisters' suffering will be infinite.A true masterpiece.

Zulfar Ghulam-Jelani Cries and Whispers, directed by Ingmar Bergman, had an uncanny effect on me. The three sisters, Agnes, Karin, and Maria, reminded me of my two sisters and myself but with a vast difference that has made our lives differ from the lives of the three sisters from the film.Like Agnes, my younger sister struggles with an illness. She has cerebral palsy, a condition affecting her nervous system that has resulted in her having a mental disability, seizures, and bowel, vision and dental problems. She is unable to accomplish everyday tasks on her own, whether it's eating, walking, showering or even dressing. Like Agnes, she depends on her loved ones in order to survive. It is remarkable what Agnes and my sister go through everyday, but what blows my mind is how they carry out themselves.Agnes, battling cancer, writes in her diary that she is grateful to her life because it has given her so much. I can't help but feel grateful myself for having the life I have. Sometimes, I do feel like the most unfortunate person in the world, but such a movie eliminates any such feelings. We should always remember that even at our lowest point, someone else might be struggling at an even greater scale.Agnes and my sister have similarities, but one difference between the two is that unlike Agnes, my sister has two sisters that care for her and would do anything to keep her happy. It is unfortunate that Agnes can't seek support from her sisters. No one should go through struggles alone.

nicoloso1331 "CRIES AND WHISPERD" Bergman this dark relationshipthat sisters have during the visit of Agnes that is dyingof cancer. Her maid Anna who is the only one who cares about Agnes and the only one who Agnes feels confident with. Demonstrates how a person prefer to get attach to the a person who show some kind of care, in this case the maidrather than the true blood. in the other hand great cinematography and colors to show this drama, specially in the red room where most of the moviedevelops.
