  • The reason this is the central scene of the film is because this is where Antonius finally finds the meaning of life for which he has been looking. The meaning of life is to be found in this world, in human interaction, rather than in any religious half-promises about God or an afterlife.

    He smiles when he plays chess with Death at 08:46, because dying doesn't bother him anymore. He has found his heaven, here on earth, with Jof and Mia.

    The best scene of one of the best films ever made.

  • @xaxie1 I don't think so. I'm Christian as well and I'm currently studying several of Bergman's films for a class. Bergman I think has given up on God for meaning, but I find this scene as well as other Bergmanian scenes of community a good reminder of our second commandment of loving our neighbors as ourselves! We are relational beings as God intended. We are not meant to be in isolation, but in loving community. I love Bergman's films. Very philosophical and psychological in nature.

    Would you think that for a christian to find this scene brilliant is hypocrytical?

    I mean I find it a mezmorizing scene but im a christian, and technically for me I find meaning in god, but then again I suppose thats the reason he put us here :)

  • Who ever said that Bergman only makes grim and bleak movies, just look at this scene, it is full of warmth :D

  • @MoralNihilism not to mention that he is looking for death to play him, and not the other way around like the other times.

  • Few times in my life do I experience a piece of art that exposes corners of my soul I didn't even know existed. This film did that for me.

  • People who find this movie boring do so for two reasons:

    1) They have been mentally conditioned in this pop culture and anything that doesn't have action, violence, suspense, etc is boring to them.

    2) They are not true Intellectuals who know how to think, analyze, and reflect.

  • @MoralNihilism Absolutely right!

  • Simply beautiful, more times I see it, more I like it...
