persona

Last night, I saw the movie Persona from Ingmar Bergman after many years of having that in mind to see. A few years ago I had bought its film script from a second hand book salesman in Shiraz,but I had never found a time to read that. In Bergman movies people have very complex and multi-layered characters. Like Hitchcock, Kubric, Tarkovsky, Bonuel, Antonioni and many other distinguished directors' movie characters the characters of Bergman movies are highly polished. Usually they are not ordinary people in the streets and if they are, they gradually start to uncover the hidden aspects of their firstly simple-appeared characters.

I believe we can divide people on earth to two different divisions:
1. People who know exactly what they want from life and they don’t bother themselves to do any extra works out of their predetermined paths of life. Many of them have successful lives and educations but usually they are predictable people.
2. People who are trying to find themselves all the time (It is different from self-confidency).They may do a specific job only up to the time (as Bergman says in Persona) that interests them. For the character of the Persona, Elgar stopped being an actress in the middle of one of her formal plays!
