1. Wild Strawberries - Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Ingmar Bergman's film Wild Strawberries is reflected in the book written by Erik H. The film is reflected upon in the third section of Vital Involvements in Old Age. .
The main character of the film, as well as that being explained in the book, is that of Isak Borg. Isak, was born into a family as one of ten children however; he is the only one still alive today. That seems to me that he was very strong in his childhood, at least health wise and intellectually. At the very beginning of the movie, it starts with Isak Borg introducing himself stating that he has been a doctor for fifty years (bacteriologist as said in the book). He has stated that he has pretty much withdrawn from the social bout of life. He expresses great loneliness in his older life than in the past. He had been married but his wife has been dead for many years. They had one child together a son named Evald who is now also a doctor who lives in Lund. His son however has no children at all. Isak is now surviving as he says with the help of his housekeeper of forty years Agda. I feel that the relationship between him and his housekeeper is also a cold one as was with his wife also. I feel this because Isak shows to have many difficulties holding onto any kind of close relationship. This leads me to believe he has issues both in the book and film with trust vs. mistrust and difficulties with intimacy vs. isolation.
The movie begins with Isak having a dream. He is taking his usual walk in the morning although the streets are very empty. He is first encountered with the clock that has no hands on it. I took this as a sign that in reality he is at a particular stand still in life, and he is not really progressing anywhere. He is encountering despair all around him with little to no integrity. The dream then takes him down the road a little more where he sees a man, he grabs on to the back of the man to spin him around and when he does this, he realizes that the man has no face.
