Seventh Seal

A movie that is more for educational purposes than sheer enjoyment. Initially I planned to switch it off after an hour assuming that two thirds of the film would be enough to give me a fair assessment. However once things began to make sense and fit together you do become invested. It goes to show how great Bergman was and how much the film industry loses when it loses a great filmmaker. Who else could make the point so beautifully and intelligently that 'love is perfect in its imperfection.' The message comes across far more powerful in a forum such as this than through whoever happens to currently be hot in Hollywood taking yet another paycheck movie hacked out in 6 months.
