In Reply to: Maybe all and none: Bergman had a pretty deep knowledge of Jungian psychology, and... posted by orejones on March 20, 2007 at 04:44:32:
I focused more on my idea that, externally he wasn't actually this cold hearted and cruel person... just that the repression of his psyche (and failures in love) made him believe that he was -- in that shadow side (those words, of course, being left unsaid).I just believe that for this particular story it was the rejection by Sarah that was central to his psychic repression (and that this shadow was a more internal self perception than an external perception of others towards him).
He clearly HAD to go through that pshycic journey or - closer to what I wrote - journey of his psyche.
I may well be wrong about the idea that the shadow side of him which was leaping forward out its repression was more about his perception of himself (from the part of him that was damaged) than the perception of him by others... and that in the confluence of the external and internal he discovered that he was in fact loved and not viewed as some monster (from the external) and that he was really okay, a decent human being (from the internal) but I definitely saw that this - this shadow illuminating journey - was what was occuring.
It's a big part of why I liked the movie so much (and am looking forward to the next one of his I see).
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
