The best movie ever made. Perfect acting, perfect cinematography. Perfect script, directing and length. Deals with human race issues. If you love cinema, you can't not watch it.
Review I made when I saw it:
The 7S is sublime. I fell in love with Bergman's aesthetic since Smultronstallet. But this one is not only visually perfect. It has the best original script I've ever seen.
This knight, representing what is nothing but the very human kind itself, gives us such a deep vision of his own sins. This is the ultimate redemption movie. The knight... confronting the most terrible and hard fight against the most powerful enemy that we ever had- the death. So, how face it? How much of our life do we spend thinking about it? Is somebody out there who really cares that? Is someone waiting for us when we are gone? This is not a simple knight. This is the entire human race, questioning the very foundations of what we are, or what we are not.
Can we defeat death? Can we win the match? I think we can. I think... that... there HAS to be a moment in our lives where... we HAVE to questioning, we have to DOUBT what we are doing. What are our goals. We don't have time. The death is... just there. In our back. Watching us... waiting with the most terrible of patience.
I think Bergman, in some point, questioned all this... and tried to tell us his vision. How he felt, what he felt when he asked to himself "What would I do if I could defeat death?" We can't, at least for the moment. So, the main subject is to me- Do something in your life that made it have sense at the end. We might have not the chance. We might don't have that last match.
