I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Let's be realistic.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

(Flash Review)Dr. Borg has reached that point in life, at age 78, where he reflects upon and realizes he has dug many emotional voids. During a long car trip, along with his daughter in-law, to where he is to receive an honorary degree he reminisces about his past decisions. Through flash backs and dream scenes there is much symbolism to punctuate the choices made. The emotional journey the man takes involves soul searching and may lead to potential healing of past relationships he has soured. The film has a rather expected story arc and for me lacks striking cinematography or shot framing. There are many quiet symbolic moments that would be ideal to analyze in a film class as they aren't obviously apparent. Overall, I know this is a Bergman, but it didn't mesmerize me visually aside from the clever editing and the poetic storytelling was lessened by an unsurprising story arc.

There are certain themes that connect Ingmar Bergman's films together, despite them being so dissimilar with one another in terms of story and subject matters. He goes from a medieval knight to a psychological thriller about two women in a beach cabin. From a period costume drama to a road trip movie about a professor yearning for the days of his youth. That last one being Wild Strawberries in a nutshell.Yet all these films have a distinguishing cinematography and style uniquely Bergman. They're also thematically similar. You can see thoughts about death, mortality, the meaning of life and the existence of self in all of them. This film focuses most heavily on the meaning of life. How much are we shaped by our youth, how much weight the individual aspects of our life have, what is the proper balance between the sentimentality of relationships and the responsibilities of career. And so on, and so on. It's probably the most thoughtful film I've yet seen from Bergman. Also the most prone to symbolism and art tropes. Usually I'm against those, unless done really well, but with Bergman they are, more often than not, and he's also really blatant and honest with them. He wants you to notice all the little tricks and touches, instead of hiding them in the background for only true cinephiles to find and appreciate.Wild Strawberries is worth a watch if you've liked other Bergman film - especially The Seventh Seal - and/or if you like a film with a lot of panache when it comes to the art of making films. It bears some resembles to the Christmas Carol on a story-level, without being a Christmas movie at all, so if you're interested in that, you might want to check it out as well.

WILD STRAWBERRIES is a romantic drama that could cause some confusion and rebellion of the human spirit for the viewers. One very cold and realistic story about the differences in human emotions and aging is full of strange harmony. An aged professor of medicine examines his life while traveling to university where he taught for years in order to receive an honorable mention. His estranged daughter in law travels with him and the two of them visited many important places from his past.The Professor meets, on this journey,interesting people and they become part of his fantasy...The atmosphere is grim and scenery is presented in the form of a beautiful wasteland. They are a kind of symbol of solitude, loneliness and leached life. However, the three youngest protagonists try to disturb this harmony. Young people are full of life, even if that life does not make sense.Mr. Bergman has symbolically linked every appearance, details, events, things and objects together. He connects them in a life story. A certain conflict in the character is visible in this film. Youth, playfulness and innocence against old age, remorse and guilt. Victor Sjöström as Professor Isak Borg is a cold and egoistic old man. Wild strawberries are a symbol of love in his youth. However, wild strawberries have chosen someone else. His story is real, touching and painful. He is a character who is admired, but never loved.Ingrid Thulin as Marianne Borg is a woman who tries to understand the cold emotion. However, she yields under her own emotions. Gunnar Björnstrand as Evald Borg is an unwanted son and a ruthless husband. He rejected his life for no reason. However, he understands the difference between love and loneliness. Bibi Andersson as Sara is a playful girl who has two wooers. She will awaken deeply buried memories in an old man.The story, perhaps, is not sufficiently simple and clear. Life is not simple. Redemption is not the point of this story. Life is strange and tortuous path between emptiness and self-realization. Some people manage to fill their emptiness with emotions. Some people fail. Understanding and reconciliation between the different characters are the point in this movie.Mr. Bergman is a genius.

For us seasoned film viewers, a film like "Wild Strawberries" carries some resonance. It invites both a retrospective and introspective look into one's own life with all it's triumphs along with the disappointments, lost loves and unfinished business that are a part of that sometimes undisciplined thing called life. If done honestly, as in the case of Dr. Isak Borg (Victor Sjostrom), the look back may dredge up moments of recrimination and a wish that things had been done differently. Borg's memories are further haunted by strange dreams that summon up things like empty streets, ruined buildings and faceless men; the horse drawn hearse spilling it's coffin to reveal his own corpse is a precursor to a later dream in which a judge pronounces him guilty of incompetence, callous behavior, selfishness and a ruthlessness as cold as ice. Borg begins to see and understand that his behavior throughout life has also infected those very close to him, including a distant son who lives to carry on his father's traits. Through chance encounters with hitchhikers on the way to picking up an honorary degree, and an unplanned reconciliation with his daughter-in-law, Borg seeks redemption for some of those inadequacies before he's called upon to meet his Maker. Though the film closes on an optimistic note with Borg's dream of his father and mother waving to him on a sunlit beach, it's really up to the viewer to decide if the good Doctor has attained peace with his past. His reflective journey may have planted a seed of humanity in the man's heart, just as the picture challenges the viewer to contemplate one's own life and legacy.
