Ingmar Bergman part 1

[cedrictrent]

Dear God

We give u Michael Bay and u give us back Ingmar. Deal?

[Nanotech92]

Bin buggin me for sum time this, who's the inteviewer?

[hedonism13]

@Nanotech92

You're kidding right? In the description, it says Interviewer: Cavett. It's Dick Cavett.

[lherman22]

@tsartodd huh? Dick Cavett is an American and this was an American show.

[tsartodd]

what's really sad is that i honestly can't imagine any American talk show host being able to have a halfway intelligent interview with someone like Ingmar Bergman. and even if they could, what's sadder is that so few Americans would even care.

[boogiebuddy01]

so many great artists have been stifled

[cheeriosinabowl]

Herr Bergman is a genius, so talented. I could listen to this man for hours.

Fantastisk !

[RonAlmeida]

Orson Welles was a genius whose pearls were wasted on Hollywood swine.

[Ajezie]

He is going to be on the 200 kronor! :)

[filmnstuff1]

Bergman was born and raised in the early 19-hundreds in Uppsala, where you have a very typical swedish accent. You clearly pronounce "R" for an example. That is why he talks like he does.

[BlackRaven156]

Thank God, he did have that freedom from studio pressure to be commercial. What a brilliant filmmaker he was!

[TheMagazine02]

This is god. The real one. the only one...

[Lucifer986]

What a beautiful man ....

[inrwizards]

its funny that he brought up orson welles since bergman thought he was an overrated filmmaker

[Caspar33]

El Supremo - dolce!

How effortlessly he expresses the ideal of collaborative work . The films are lasting evidence that he knew it. If you can do this from a position of unassailable surity, it is the best way. Thanks for this.

[xFaNatiKx]

one of the greatest

[rrrorkk]

hurdy gurdy hurdy

[ChairmanBlimp]

omg its paul keating!!!!

[SamFisherCell]

why do Ingmar have a russian/and sometimes german accent?

[wrigleys321]

Kinda weird accent...for being a swede.

Makes him sound like a mix up of German/Russian

[hanstheys]

his accent is not typically swedish, because tit is a conscious accent

some learned people belonging to linguistic minorities do not adapt their accent when they speak another language because it's not necessary to be understood

[eyetube7]

he made a lot of great films.

[Duffy035]

But also one persons ability to pick up a new language. Of course this varies from person to person.

[Duffy035]

Faulty skills in English is very common and normal in terms of the generation Bergman grew with. I'd say people born in the late 70s early 80s are the ones who nowadays speak a way better and actually a very good English, at least compared to this.

This is BAD. Thanks to TV, video games and so forth, English is a much bigger part of the Swedish language (and any countrys language, where English isn't the motherlanguage)

[Zoidypoo89]

Yeah, his accent sounds a lot more like russian than swedish. I mean, Magnus Samuelsson has a really swedish accent when he speaks english, so look him up. Bergman hasn't got the jolly up and downs in his voice when he speaks like most swedish people do. We sound quite happy when we speak. That's why there are some americans and stuff that thinks that we sing when we speak ;P

[MagdaBing]

His accent is funny, ut he grew up on a time where u didn't learn english at school, or saw it on tv, or anything like that. It's understandable.

[sahlgren]

Almost all swedes talk english like that. I´m one of them and i´m 25 years old. RIP Ingmar Bergman

[DogSwede1]

@sahlgren - Not true, :P

[NormaJeansexsexsex]

@sahlgren

Ah yeah... wälkom ty dä länd då, ok. Seriously, that is just RUSSIAN sounds like, don't make us please...

[087925859]

Han har typ rsysk dialekt när han snackar engelska. tack för denna!

[LaSoldat]

He has a very swedish accent, only retards would say otherwise. I'm swedish and i talk just like him.

[Bebbe88]

I had a couple of friends who went to NY. People there thought they were from Russia because of the accent. Sometimes the Swedish accent and the Russian may be somewhat alike.

[xContaminatedx]

Very interesting. I wonder whether an artist like Bergman could tell a studio exec to go to hell nowadays.

[Sombrenegra]

Hehe im also from sweden and i think his accent is weird. Sound more like a russian :P R I P The swedish movie master!

[billiejeangirl123]

I think he has a russian and swedish accent u can hear the swedish accent when he said for example film and stuff like that .)

[ingmar2007]

whatever accents he speaks with, he's INGMAR BERGMAN ...MASTER OF CINEMA ....I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM

[GordonFr33man]

yap. he actually sound a bit like he's speaking english with russian accent, which is weird. im from sweden, swedes usually dont sound like this when they speak english. maybe he tried to hide his swedish accent somehow and it turned over to russian accent :P

[sucramnormark]

I agree! Swedes are usually better at speaking english than this, although ingmar didnt learn english at school.. i guess that explains it

[Tionsity]

But I think he pronounces the words that are the same in swedish and in english with a swedish accent.

[sassyhenke]

He speak english with an italian accent... funny, especially for me being swedish. :)

[Yallighan]

nah not really...

[wikingdiv]

eeh he does not, its english with nordic accent..

[Qhristoffer]

bur he have some russian accent i think xP haha.. but i like hes accent :)

[ditti6210]

He was very, very attractive...Like a man, like an artist....

[AntonLjunghusen]

lol thats such a swedish accent

[Finusstinus]

It´s not english with a swedish accent ... sounds more like russian or something else.

[ShaxDr87]

Its very much a swedish accent :P

[Finusstinus]

Have you ever heard a swedish person speak english?? This sounds like english with a russian accent!!

[ShaxDr87]

uhm, yeah. im swedish and so is ingmar bergman......

[Finusstinus]

Ja men då lär du ju höra att han låter som en ryss. 1:00-1:10 är ett praktexempel.

[Svartljus]

jag älskar det svenska språket. Jag är amerikan och jag är självlärt på språket, men är inte helt flytande. Det är svårt att lära mig det ensam. Jag älskar Ingamar Bergman filmer eftersom jag använder dom för att hjälpa mig öva på min svenska.

[phille22]

wow. är du självlärd? du skriver mycket bra svenska. Det är inte dumt att lära sig svenska av Bergman. Han använder det svenska språket på ett fantastiskt vis.

[Svartljus]

ja jag är självlärd. Jag har lärt mig i två år. haha Jag har märkt att bergman använder språket i ett väldigt advancerat sätt. Ibland är det jätte svårt att förstå, men jag försöker.

[paleandso]

@Svartljus Håller med phille22. Bra jobbat. =)

[vv901vv901]

@Svartljus

Learning Swedish is a good idea. The Swedes have produced a lot of good culture over the past 80 years by not only Ingmar Bergman, although better practice than his movies is hard to imagine. But Swedish icons such as Astrid Lindgren and Hasse och Tage - their movies, books and plays - are practically mandatory here. Åtminstone i mina kretsar; jag bor i Finland och älskar dedär kloka ikonerna och deras underbara verk. Ronja Rövardotter; en helt otrolig film i sin helhet. Hyvää iltaa.

[am1966ath]

@vv901vv901 Tror du inte andra kulturer har film & literatur??? Astrid Lindgren ar infantil kultur for sma barn, Hasse och Tage ar svenska skamt. Ingemar Bergman ventilerar sin psykosociala skit i filmrutan...

[PANAGOKOS]

Maitre  Bergman.

[SWISSCOLORVISION]

I love his teeth

[Bash316]

I did not mind Bergman until I saw an interview where he ripped apart Orson Welles, Godard and Antonioni while giving shout-outs to guys like Spielberg and Truffaut. This guy is great. And his movies kick ass.

[whannes]

haha, i älskar his R's :D

älskar means love, in swedish

[luigiranalli77]

Ingmar Bergman was one of the greatest geniuses in the motion pitcure history! Thanks for this interview! It's sad that some people who wrote here is only able to notice his mis-pronounciation of some English words. But I don't know how many of these commenters of English language are able to speak Swedish half as good as Bergman spoke English.

[Bloominglotus666]

well said!

[breakingdownfilms]

@luigiranalli77 If you're a big Ingmar Bergman fan please check out our channel. My friend and myself are watching and reviewing every Bergman film in order. it's at youtube .com / breakingdownfilms

[ErikBz]

Yeag, I'm Swedish too. :P :D

And I'm proud of it.

[Strawberryy00]

im swedish :)

hehe

[Inyxx]

I love when he stutters, I really do.

[tompa666]

lite överskattad

[tarrega2]

thank for this document

[EricandDish]

I just bought the Criteron collection that features all three movies of director Bergman's "faith" triology (Through a Glass Darkly, Winter Light, and The Silence) today on Amazon and I've begged my Mom to get the other Ingmar Bergman box set for my birthday (that features Persona and Shame).

[Mycatjewel]

Man, I remember when TCM played this interview. I felt like he was the best guest in the series TCM showed (they also had Hitchcock, Bette Davis, and Groucho Marx).

[how2233]

The ending is good. He won't let studio people tell him what to do. It's his vision and his movie.

[hanshotfirst1138]

I didn't know that he spoke English. God, he's so young here. How old is he? Where is this from? It looks like it's from a VHS tape, so it was obviously recorded T.V. Fascinating stuff. Film buff and aspiring filmmaker that I am, I'm fascinated by Bergman, and hearing him speak is fascinating.

[kolst8406]

This is the Dick Cavett Show, August 1971. Bergman was 53.

[ephemerr2]

Thanks Monsieur Bergman

[redkierkant]

does anyone know how to pronounce his first name? is it In-mar with two syllabals or what? thanks

[nekwa2]

"Ingar"

"Ing-mar" Can the "inG" be said in English? That is how it´s pronouced in swedish.

[atethnekos]

In English, the g would most commonly be pronounced with the n as one consonant called a velar nasal, just like in other English words like "song" or what have you. But it can be pronounced plosive as well with the g sounding fully before the m, even if there isn't a vowel right after it -- it would just be really short.

[polaire1982]

The 'Ing'-part is pronounced exactly like the ing-part in the English word 'vings'. The g should not be pronounced like in 'grace' or something. So it's not very hard.

[mjonas10]

It´s "Eengmar" the "a" is pronounced like the "o" in "not"

[mjonas10]

Oh,and the "r" is rolling,dont bend your tounge backwards when pronouncing it.

[Mazuroia]

I`m Pole, I learnt Russian 6 years and I think Bergman sounds like a German trying to speak English (specific and terrific German pronounciation). It is not good to learn English together with Germans cause they have their own accent

[Mazuroia]

I`m Pole, I learnt Russian 6 years and I think Ingmar Bergman sounds like a German trying to speak English (specific German pronounciation)

[phille22]

No. He rolls his R's.

[Ivorybird09]

@Mazuroia I am a Russian, and my second language is English. When I speak French, I have an American accent. So, perhaps, Bergman knew how to speak German or Russian or Estonian.... and while speaking English he would subconsciously switch to the "foreign language mode", which was German or Russian for him.... Just thinking.

[phille22]

Not really. By todays standards, yes. But he was in his 40's here, and this is 1970. People nowadays speak very well, but they didn't back then.

[dromare26]

Its the first time i hear Bergman talking in english, i speak swedish and russian..

He sounds like a North Man- Baltic Sea a mixed of Slavic and Scandinavian..lol!

Very intresting though..

Greetings from Greece.

[mjonas10]

Wow he really sounds like a russian when speaking english :)

[phille22]

No, he sounds swedish..

[BaronTorne]

I'm swedish and I really think he sounds russian!

[nekwa2]

I´d say that to. (Im also swedish)

RIP Ingmar.

[NormaJeansexsexsex]

@phille22

Ha!! But he sounds funny though

[RonAlmeida]

@phille22 You are right. But you know most english speaking people know nothing about the world besides their charaterless, monolingual melting pot of mediocrity. They often think Sweden and Switzerland is one and the same.

[pcavutto]

@mjonas10 Yes, it really seems Russian accent but, maybe because we do not know swedish....

[hanshotfirst1138]

How old is he here?

Does he speak fluent English?

[72Larsson]

Its a little funny when he has this really Swedish accent when he speak english! hehe

[clemdane]

God natt, Ingmar. Du ska leva för evigt.

[allisonalmodovar]

Good English.

[phille22]

hush, al :)

[allisonalmodovar]

whatchoo talking about phil.

hey what kind of video should I make next? I know! Bergman and Antonioni go to Heaven!!

[PonyoOnACliff]

there is no heaven quit fucking postulating bullshit, delusional idiot.

[Desullen]

OH NO HE SAID HEAVEN GET HIM

[e97zsa]

Master

[buckturgidson9000]

rip, yo. bergman was a true g.

[taina1968]

My biggest inspiration since i was a teenager. I will miss you so.....Im so sad...goodbye from Denmark. We love you...

[arugulaforevery1]

Respect!

[Dynadin]

Cinema will be lonely without him

[HighwayCinema]

Thank you for your gifts Mr. Bergman.

[poguehorse]

i guess he finally lost that chess match rip ingmar

[skrag2112]

My God. Who will we have to pick up the torch of great cinema? There are too many hack directors who are more interested in making 100 million dollar CGI blockbusters with no soul than making a movie with meaning that stays with you. Goodbye Mr. Bergman. You will be mourned for a long time.

[ChicChicken]

R.I.P

One of the greatest directors of all times.

[lourak]

Part 2

The classical philosophical themes upon which he has built his reputation, are treated, I feel, with philosophical sophmorism and intellectual pretension. Only, perhaps, in his psychological explorations, does he reach an insight that is almost convincing. Just an opinion...

[edmame]

pt1: i too have detected traces of these you mentioned, but i doubt he maintained these sophomorism and pretension all through his career. he even said he hated his younger self in terms of a human being.

[edmame]

pt2: there are obvious bigger philosophical and intellectual giants than him outside film, but for people who didn't imagine Qs posed in cinema the way he did (also an evolution beyond just "stiff" & over-stylized), his films can serve as keys to open their own doors (on the issues, filmmaking, framing artistic Q.) he doesn't have to be the be-all-end-all to deserve merit.

[lourak]

You raise some valid points. In any event, my critique at this time, upon his passing, is perhaps ill-timed. RIP Ingmar Bergman!

[lourak]

Part 1

A confession - I have never understood the veneration which Bergman's work has always enjoyed (Woody Allen's adoration notwithstanding). Perhaps it's me, but, I find his cinematic work to be stiff and overly stylistic - an attribute that his devotees usually admire - but which was never appealing to me.

[Beealle]

I just heard he died. Vila i frid, Rest in peace.

[walternyc]

Integrity in cinema died with Bergman

[WANDERMIND]

R.i.p.

[phille22]

I'm crying right at this moment. RIP. The last master.

[tomy4you]

Probably the best ouf ot the best ones...

RIP.

[ArchieMoore]

Sad to see you go. :'( no one will fill those shoes.

bloomberg(dot)com/apps/news?pi­d=20601087&sid=aaZaAAZ.U6Fo&re­fer=home

[Freud55]

He is either for teenagers and college kids or he is super-outdated, as I liked him when I was in that age group, but now I couldn't pay attention to one of his films for more than three minutes. No wonder Woody Allen adores him.

[meryuk]

The same here. Except his early movies, they all have a clear story and I think I could watch them nowdays.

[Teamfagott]

R.i.P

[padima]

R.I.P

[Neondub]

Bergman has to be the most creative and expressive directors ever! Ever ever ever! I feel I can relate to the characters in his films better than any other films made by anyone else.

[cropperb]

Bergman has to be the most dreadful director ever. Ever ever ever.

[phille22]

Most stupid thing I've ever heard.. why?
