MAN OF CINEMA
A priest who himself is doomed by his own faith in god, fails others who came
to him for help. It's interesting that at that time the priest was like a therapist to so many people, they came to him to grieve, confess and share. But if your therapist himself is fucked up in his head, questioning his purpose, his work, his feelings then his people are failed cause. Bergmann compares god to love , monster and Light. How one thing can be interpreted differently or meant differently for each individual. The concept of god is complex and confusing, Bergman shows that with multiple people's lives who came to pastor. Even though i am an atheist, i liked the fact that the film questions the faith and its meaning, rather than just accepting it blindly.
