Notes
- Abstract:
- The purpose of this study is to examine the theological themes in some select films by the Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman. This study uses three of Bergman's films, The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, and The Virgin Spring, as subjects of literary and character analysis in order to examine their religious ideas, and when necessary, provide counter-point. The first theological situation examined is the individual's search for God presented in Bergman's characters. Secondly, the problem of evil is considered as it relates to some of the circumstances presented in Bergman's films. Finally, the success of the characters in finding their own spiritual reconciliation is determined. The study concludes that Bergman's films are highly effective in encouraging viewers to consider or reconsider their spiritual situation.
