The Seventh Seal was an amusing movie to watch as well as extremely interesting. When Death caught up with the group at the end, it was fascinating to see all the reactions of the different characters. Antonius Bloch started to pray for help but of course, the existentialist of the movie, Jöns automatically went, praying won't help. At that point, the games are over, the chase is done. Death caught up with them like we always knew he would because Death is inescapable.
While watching the film, I found myself torn between two characters. The main character, Antonius, and the squire, Jöns. He spent the whole film searching for answers to these great questions, something I think everyone can relate to at least one point in time. However, I relate most to Jöns. I've mentioned before that I am more of an existentialist than anything else. The Seventh Seal was not my favorite film of the few we have already seen, but these movies are really thought-provoking and I am enjoying them.
And Mr. Bennett, you questioned before whether I did something to take off the security measure of typing in the words when you comment and I did. I left a comment on that last post on how to take it off but I'm not sure if you've seen it. If you haven't, its there (:
Thanks for a good post. I'll check your last comment. These security words are a pain.
