hyped garbage

Better Late Then Never

A Disappointing Continuation

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Film Review: "The Seventh Seal" (1957)The character of Antonius Block the crusader, shipwrecked, returning from the meaningless war-mongering crusades over belief in Jerusalem, portrayed in dignified, power-striving manner by Max von Sydow as the last knight, swept onto the shores of an unidentified island with his squire, well-studied and life-taking by the horns performance by actor Gunnar Björnstrand (1909-1986) confronted death itself in a party of chess in three move-shifting scenes of reminiscencing the divine comedy of life that everything is borrowed and will eventually turn to nothing on death day.Director Ingmar Bergman (1918-2007) double-layers his image system of combining a chessboard with an rising sun over an ocean. It becomes evident that the filmmaking artist is present, who completely thought through his motion picture endeavor from the first written word in form of a stage play to the final premise shot of a dance with death. Further the director uses a group of traveling artists on identifying the circle of life in art to frighten society with images of pain, horror, self-mutilation, cancer, sickness raging war and epidemics to remind spectators of death to believe in dreams again and making the showtime spectacle, a machine to forget about loss and death; where "The Seventh Seal" strikes is in overwriting information with character point-of-view shots, illusionary hallucinations clearly been seen by an character of feeling toward devastating agony or fulfilled bliss where life is beautiful, at least for an hour before another shift comes to cope with a human emotion of inconvenience.The film asks all the essential questions of what life makes worthwhile and death necessary to all, who have lived fully. As the last knight Antonius Block states to death, who has been performed in J.W. Goethe's Faust recalling manner by actor Bengt Ekerot (1920-1971), in final moves of their chess game, "I am the prisoner of my dreams. I am not part of society anymore." Director Ingmar Bergman finds his balance again in concluding his in precision camera work captured picture by Gunnar Fischer (1910-2011) that life stays always life in company of family and death as final member of the company is its reward.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Seventh seal is a stunning, almost psychedelic epopee of a Crusader coming home.It will make you think, teach you about life, history, love, death, pain, disease, hell, heaven, God, Death, subservience, position, and many other things, and could even change the way you think.Magnificent.Rating 10 is usually hard to reach in anyone's list. In my world, the the movie needs to get as good as 2001, so it is very hard to get there. However, Seventh seal stands in its own category, and literally NOTHING touches it.

this film challenges the viewer to question their own faith and ideas that they may join the knight on his quest for answers as he plays a game of chess with death to buy time. the companions he finds as he travels all have troubles in life and play a role in the knights return to faith.This film is dark by nature (war beaten soldiers, plague, murder,witch burning, death all around) however no gross gore but mild violence. there are the comical relief moments though(surprisingly by death him self) good watch a film that hasn't lost its affect despite decades and language barrier.

Ingmar Bergman is one of the favorite directors of serious movie lovers. All his films have been discussed over years by the film students. Analyzing his films will open up a new world of imagination and cinematic freedom.The Seventh Seal, is an intellectual film. But, unlike other serious films, this movie is coated with slight humor. This provides more relaxation to the non-competitive audience. The story is about life and death. The movie makes fun of the humanity, religion etc. There are not of things to be thought in depth. Thought provoking films are hard to write about. You need to watch them over and over again, think about it and get the inner meanings and find a conclusion yourself.A highly recommend for serious film lovers. A Must watch.#KiduMovie
