Ingmar Bergman: "The Seventh Seal" (1957) Trailer (SPOILERS)

[Winduct]

Why do old trailers always spoil everything?

[czernobog47]

masterpiece

[ItchythaWookiee]

"Best two out of three!"

[latexboi]

I love the scene with the Sith lord... but I dislike that there aren't any TIE-fighters or Naboo starfighters in this flick.

[chuckinator11]

Chick is smokin!

[abbesieyes]

A discourse upon reality and coming to awareness by thwarting imposed ignorance, not merely a scene in a movie. Much as the train station scene in The Matrix.

[hammarwiking]

1:12-1:15 It's supposed to be 14th century, not 12th

[SOYTOYOTA]

@hammarwiking in sweden we count from 12th and forward. but in america you count from 14th and backwards.

[hammarwiking]

@SOYTOYOTA Det är ingen skillnad på hur man räknar, han säger "1300-talet" vilket är det 14:e århundradet, alltså 14th century, inte 12th.

[SOYTOYOTA]

@hammarwiking så du menar att det skedde under 15 talet

[hammarwiking]

@SOYTOYOTA nu tror jag nog att du räknar åt fel håll

[xaxie1]

What I don't understand is how he is able to suddenly be playing the game and then up on his horse and is off, and death doesent seem to chase him?

[TheToeBrand]

Hahahah, sämsta trailern? x) först helt meningslösa scener som man inte fattar nånting av och sen avslöjas hela handlingen xD hehe, gillar "sommarn är förstås bätte än vintern för på sommaren slipper man frysa, men våren är det allra bästa"

[SOYTOYOTA]

@TheToeBrand  du ska veta pojk att på den tiden var den här filmen banbrytande.

[libville]

Very cool film!

[macadu1122]

@TheFliperz436 It's Swedish. Ingmar Bergman is Swedish.

[henke520]

[openmindset]

@TheFliperz436 Swedish

[tool619]

Certainly NOT Ingmar Bergman's best film but a great one nonetheless.

[openmindset]

@tool619 curious about which one you like best

[ciccacarmen1]

film della trilogia sul “silenzio di Dio”.

[DEQAANMIREL]

Oh no, sounds very different accent in English! Because it is just not understandable! He mustn't talk like Turkish's English!

[poli4007]

Does anybody know the meaning of "The Seventh Seal"?

This film is about salvation through love and spiritual faith. The happy family survival was a miracle by the Virgin Mary. The Knight was the designated Angel. His knowledge was not accompanied by personal faith, but was a vital instrument in the salvation of the loving and faithful family. And above all, innocent, without sin.

All symbolic, of course.

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

@poli4007 It's in reference to a bit from the Book of Revelation, and quoted in the start of the film and near the end. The quote: "And when the Lamb had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour". This theme starts here & continues into some of his other films. "Through The Glass, Darkly", etc. Hope this helps some.

[poli4007]

@PlayIt4MeAgainSam Thanks a lot. Very helpful. Apparently it refers to the "end of times" and "the last judgment". The lamb would represent Jesus.It is so great that the only survivors, the couple and the baby, are the only loving, innocent ones, who live life in its simplicity . It was a miracle under the protection of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus, who are seen by the man, as his wife playfully makes fun of his visions. I don't remember and need to watch again the Knight's visit to them.

[poli4007]

@PlayIt4MeAgainSam I had never heard of "Trough the Glass, Darkly" and will try to watch it. Thanks again.

[eddie1207]

@poli4007

Bergman would turn over in his grave if he saw this interpretation. This film was his rebellion against religion - it's about finding joy and value in a meaningless world, without having to invent a higher purpose in form of a God. It is about standing up to and dealing with your own insignificance - not about chickening out.

[openmindset]

@eddie1207 I didn't name the film out of the Book of Revelation(Bible). I didn't write a script killing all SINNERS (yes sir, SINNERS) by the plague.Except for the innocent couple who DOES FIND JOY AND VALUE IN A MEANINGLESS WORLD. I didn't invent the vision of Virgin Mary,who makes miracles. The Knight didn't chicken out, and did have higher purposes, tricking Death to save the couple's lives from the SINNERS. Read the Book of Revelation IF YOU CAN. Youmay get it. Sorry Bergman, RIP.

[openmindset]

@eddie1207 Bergman was not a rebel and his films were not pamphlets. His films show life as it is. Like any real genius does. He shows the reality of the Middle Ages. God was a reality in the lives of many. Like it or not. Bergman starts and finishes the film citing the biblical Book of Revelations, like it or not. There cannot be joy, value in a meaningless world! Meaning is found in the joy, value of a simple life. Bergman related such life with the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus.Like or not.

[valkiriapura33]

i do love that movie!!!!Don't know why, just do!

[chilingolingoreviews]

[blichilde]

@Beatnikzombie Well, if you are a zombie, it's obvious you sleep

[Beatnikzombie]

@blichilde Zombies never sleep. They keep on coming and coming and coming. Crunch!

[blichilde]

@Beatnikzombie I'm frightened... Are you going to eat me?

[Beatnikzombie]

@blichilde I'm a vegetarian. Graaaaiiins!

[Iagreetothethermsof]

HA, is this a trailer or a digest movie?

[IAMJESUSmovie]

The 7TH SEAL is now being opened on IAMJESUSmovie channel.

[KlaraVide]

Hey nicelooking Swiss-guy from Geneva, I lost you on chatroulette...damnit.. if you see this, let me know..

[Vaderfan0307]

Ingmar bergman was Ang lee's idol!!!

[krogulech]

The Best Film Ever. Amen.

[jrubin68]

Spam, and illegal advertising, too.

[schoolgirlsmack]

the singer scott walker has a song about this movie in his album Scott 4. this movie is amazing.

[jrubin68]

Great album! And such a great movie!

[reviewitorhateit]

what's it about

[tamroluluromtakankav]

This film is a masterpiece!!!!!!! did you realize what is the main idea of the movie??what's about this film ??? if you realize you just can't say that this film is a boring

[sillygrl23]

The atmosphere of this movie makes it so dark and unsettling, there is something about black and white filming that makes it work in horror movies.

[theemceemurdah]

A classic!

[BlogSnob]

Whenever I come back to this film I'm always surprised by how much humor is in it compared to the other Bergman films I've seen. It was nice when I rewatched this in film class, and it had the whole theaterlaughing : )

[vallettemalta]

10+

[ForTheHonour]

Great movie.

[KochuJang]

LOL, the crazy monk scene pwns me! When he makes fun of the dude with the big nose = lulz

[dieradical]

just saw this at LPR this movie was the shittt

[huncites]

what language is it?

[SomeguyThere111]

Swedish, I believe.

[immortalx50]

it's Swedish language

[kyrastube]

you guys know that the man playing chess with death is max von sydow, who played the old preist in the exorcist? e really cool actor, along with peter stormare and stellan skarsgård he is a good reason for us swedes to be proud of our men in hollywood. :)

[Fejez]

Wow nobody knew knew that that guy was Max Von Sydow before you told us!

[Zlactoc]

Well now I have no reason to see the movie.

[juclyazzo]

lol

[Kotzu1337]

Yeah they give away so much. Shame.

[everythingandbeyond]

The movie is quite a bit different. Perhaps this trailer gives you the illusion that they tell the story. This trailer even contains one ''error''(probably on purpose, for fun), namely: the knight doesn't throw over the chess pieces on purpose. At least that's my view of it, and I've seen it 5 times. Go check it out for your self. In my opinion this trailer is not a spoiler, but a teaser. One of the best movies I've ever seen!

[iamyourpopenow]

He does throw the chess pieces on purpose, to give time not only to himself, but to the others with him. In that time, the actor flees with his wife and child.

[chosentonessournotes]

No, honestly, you're not getting the full experience if you don't watch. This movie is beyond amazing.

[Willow98765]

This is soo cool at 1:05

[homefatale]

Just pay attention how is simple his way to talk about serious things. And how many deep these thoughts. For example Lars (von trier) can talk about one thing during 2,5 hours, Bergman can do the same during 2 minutes. I am storyteller too, and i was really impressed how is simple he can talk about many many things and how easy he do it. And by the way there many humour too. Brilliant picture! Real masterpiece.

[StoicTwo]

Man this is some cold shit, here!

-Stosa!

[GenyaArikado]

Det här måste va bland de sämsta skit ja sett

[nullmull]

Gissa varför det står "spoilers" i rubriken?

[cjsinclair]

g, cool, c

[jkoff76]

My favorite movie BY FAR!! And I am not even the biggest Bergman. But this film has burned into my memory....

[BandrewMacrew]

Kul att de visar hela grejen med filmen...

[gorbachev9]

lol trailen visar ju vad som kommer att hända!

[veganthrope]

That's the craziest trailer that i've ever seen. I can't believe it explained the entire movie's plot!

[frankensteinmoneymac]

@veganthrope My thoughts exactly......I was looking for a trailer for this film to send to a friend, in the hopes of getting her excited about the prospect of watching it...but I wasnt expecting to find a trailer that was going to basically be a synopsis for the entire film!!! LOL! I guess they had no concept of "Spoilers" back in those days huh? Imagine if the guy who made this had also made the trailer for Citizen Kane! ".....unitl at the end in a shocking twist we find out Rosebud is..." LOL

[shehasmicrosoft]

@veganthrope if u think this is crazy. check the Hitchcock trailer Frenzy! 

[rajazdunkirk]

grandissimoooooo film!!!!!!!!!!!

[oberstul]

This is such a great movie!

[2236LKB]

Great movie from the great director-Ingmar Bergman!!

[FilmTraum9]

One of the greatest movie!

[dramariliaferreira]

Bergman é o simplesmente o cara, man....

valew

[enenina9]

Es una de mis peliculas favoritas

[mlpc83]

Bravo, Bergman, por tu arte soberbio. One of the most important movies ever made...

[taildragger53]

@mlpc83 I agree with you. According to some youtube fans of "Wallender" (which is a great series) Bergmans work is regarded as tedious by young Swedes today. What a shame.

[justfrancisko]

@taildragger53 Not just today, then too. 

[robbflynncs]

Legendary

[SurvivalOfTheHippest]

One of the most impressive movies i've ever seen.

[theanimator007]

Wow I love how the trailer completely spoils the ending of a great movie.

[1TtidnaB]

Yeah, was just about to see it, its 99,5% now - and I watched the trailer to check it out. Damn fucking trailer spoiled the whole movie. Idiots sucked at trailers back in the 50's.

[SPeacock]

Good movie - not so good trailer.

[prahasct]

I.B. was the BEST BEST BEST MAN EVER IN FILM HISTORY !!!!!!!

[airaton]

A masterpiece.

[frsboy]

My favourite Bergman movie. he will be missed...

Rest in peace Ingmar.

[oberie]

Vous étiez un Génie Monsieur Bergman.

Je vous aime.

R.I.P

[oberon79]

Upptill sitter Herran,

han är ganska fjärran.

Men din broder Satan,

möter du på gatan!

[siggem]

Du förlorade schack matchen tillslut Ingmar, Du med. Vila i frid.

[Zokun2307]

what the fuck are you babbling about.

[herndonboy13]

i first saw this movie when i was like 5, didnt make sense at all except u had to beat death at chess but it was impossible. i got to watch it again

[Trebizond3]

The Seventh Seal 'contains some of the most extraordinary images ever committed to celluloid'(Time Out). Ingrid Bergman is possibly the Shakespeare of cinema, and like his other masterpieces this is a must-see for any fan of serious films.

[catbirdtree]

But strawberries and milk are good! Even if, combined, they disagree with some sensitive stomachs like mine. Even those on the J. Arthur Rank diet will pop their very neatly arranged clogs too on 'that day'!

[catbirdtree]

Well, the ending is, as it always is, death. What a spoiler!

[13chepe13chepe]

Excelente película, excelente director!,pesimo trailer!

[dusha7]

long live bergman

[branketra]

"Why don't I punch you in the face?"

[Formighax]

Yes, it's incredible. Anyway, this is a marvellous film.

[SecretAgentNo1]

I strongly agree at the time very few could compete with the power house, the tour de force that was Ingmar Bergman

[fhqwgads420]

WTF kind of trailer is that, they spoil the ending!
