The Seventh Seal: The knight's first meeting with death

This is art .

K: "Who are you?"
D: "I am death."
K: "Are you here to get me?"
D: "I have already long walked at your side."
K: "I know that."
D: "Are you ready?"
K: "My body is scared, but not me."
K: "Wait a minute!"
D: "You all say that, but I leave no postponements."
K: "You play chess, don't you?"
D: "How do you know?"
K: "Ah, I've seen it on paintings and heard it in the ditties."

"My body is scared, but not me."
should be
"My body is ready, but not me."

Jag tyckte också att det var konstigt, men det låter ju precis som att han säger "min kropp är rädd, inte jag själv.". Nåväl, jag vet inte.

Ja det har du faktiskt rätt i. Man hör inget "Be", bara "redd" Kanske är något kryptiskt budskap från Herr Bergman?

okej, då vet vi

D: "Yes, I really am a quite skilled chess player."
K: "But you can't be more skilled than me."
D: "Why do you want to play chess against me?"
K: "That my business."
D: "Right, you are."
K: "The terms are, I live as long as I hold out. If I win, you release me."
K: "You got black."
D: "It fits best that way, doesn't it?"

There is this mexican film called "Macario" where the nearness with the death is similar but in the mexican case the encounter is far more irreverent.

A bit hard to understand. The only thing clear that comes through is when the knight says, Wait a minute. The Swedish is Augenblick. Blink of an eye.

Death says: That's what they all say.

Different people have different tastes. I can't understand how some ppl find that offensive...
