Talk:Persona (1966 film)

message: The high price of Ingmar Bergman films requires me to read these entries carefully before I go out and buy one on DVD, but can you or someone else clear up the suggestion in the main article that what he have here, is a story about the transmigration of souls, specifically, between a person who is mentally distressed, and the person who is there to support her?  I hope I'm not reading this into the story but that is what certainly seems to be implied.  Are there occult or spiritual activities in the movie?
:It is deliberately vague. No, there is no obvious occult or spiritual activity in the movie. You can read it that way if you want to, I suppose, but they never say that. I think most people would say that one woman's depression or existential angst rubs off onto the other woman, who gets angry and runs away because "I'll never be like you". Or you could see it as a kind of split-personality thing. 202.10.92.121 (talk) 06:24, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The section on interpretations, particularly the Brechtian Alienation Technique section, seems to be largely comprised of original research.  There are very few citations to support the claims it makes.Liquidcow 16:14, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Are the many value judgments 202.10.95.253 makes standard film criticism or POV?

replies: text: It is a film reel being fed into a projector. The end, too, shows a reel being removed from a projector.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.10.92.121 (talk) 06:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I deleted the "Epilogue" from the plot summary because it completely mixed up the order of what happens in the film. The whole plot summary is very very long and takes tons of subjective liberties in the interpretation of the plot, something that really isn't suitable for a such a film or such an article- perhaps someone more eloquent and skilled can clean this up and just give the basic plot instead of a film school interpretation?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.40.97 (talk) 02:01, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot Summary Problems 

message: Currently there is an image with no proven significance, with this text:
: "Persona's shots of overlapping faces have been widely parodied. In this scene, Elisabet mirrors Alma's pose exactly, while never breaking eye contact."
We need a source for this whole idea. I'm going to tag it. Filmfluff (talk) 18:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Would a screenshot or two of other films parodying the depicted picture qualify? I can get screenshots of that scene being parodied in Love & Death and The Simpsons. 203.219.29.254 (talk) 10:04, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parodied? 

message: There's nothing at all within the film itself to suggest it's broken into three "Acts" as the plot summary states. Even the summary's claim that there's a "Prelude" is a stretch: all there really is is a pre-titles sequence, as there also is in Goldfinger! I strongly suggest deleting this framework completely since there's nothing to justify it in the film - it's personal research driven by a personal point of view. 86.133.169.28 (talk) 16:05, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Taken from the main article:
David Lynch's surreal noir Mulholland Drive is heavily influenced by Persona; including, but not limited to, an actress character and similar questions concerning identity, as well as a visual nod to Persona's famous merging of women's faces.
Charlotte Gainsbourg was stated as saying Lars von Trier told her and Kirsten Dunst to study the nurse-patient relationship for their roles in his 2011 film "Melancholia".

thread_title:  Lynch, etc 

message: Hi - apologies for the noobish question, but is there a reason why a lot of the information in the infobox (e.g. who wrote the music, who did the sound, etc.) doesn't show up on the actual page? It seems like it would be desirable to have this info visible (I came here looking for the music composer), but I don't know why (or even how) this info was made invisible, or whether there's a protocol or policy that explains it. Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usuallyinoffensive (talk • contribs) 16:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

message: what do you guys think about adding the review of Liv ullmann's performance from entertainment weekly? As she got praised too and that should be added. Premiere magazine ranked her at 49th best performance of all time amd entertainment weekly ranked her at 28th best performance that deserved to win an Oscar.
