The Seventh Seal (Det Sjunde Inseglet) - Confession

This is a movie clip from the 1957 movie "Det Sjunde Inseglet" (The Seventh Seal), directed by Ingmar Bergman.

Antonius Block is a knight returning from the Crusades. Here, he's entering a chapel to confess about his withering faith and his thoughts about god and death to Death himself, who disguised into a priest. This is a short, yet accurate trip to the innermost depths of a human's fears and wonders.

I really like this film because when i first watched it I was expecting this movie to relieve me of fear, that the movie would have a message of what death is all about in the fantasy world of movies, but i think pretty much to the end they kept it authentic and just stuck to the fact that nobody knows. At the end of the game death was unknowing. Because of that it is still a great movie by today's standards. imo.. I was shocked by how good a movie that old is

Been there. But let me point out that at the end with the scene in the castle and the Dance, all characters finally embrace the idea of Death, each one with his/her own way. So, imo the whole movie was not a cry for the ultimate truth or a philosophical quest. It was a path to the awareness of death and its acceptance.

"Därför spelar du shack med döden".

"With Death", not "with the Devil". :)

Yes, I'm sorry. It's not my translation though.

maybe it s the best speech in the film

[mrionomercy]

Huh..very inspiring questions. It gives me chills when death came up in dark.

More people should think this way. Maybe if we demand more of G-d instead of just praising him, He will show Himself. Maybe we're ready for that.

This scene gets to the heart of the existential struggle to find meaning in a seemingly godless world. What a sensational, challenging, and crushing scene.

How can we believe in the faithful when we lack faith?

Bergman was a genius, and this movie is proof.

@uruseiranma I think this part is just perfect!!! Like a real pain, like a real confession. Nothing more nothing less. It seems real. This scene almost hurts!!
