잉마르 베리만의 <제7의 봉인> 영화 분석연구 －캐릭터 아크를 통해 본 영웅의 패러다임－

Abstract

Ingmar Bergman explores the human aspects of both spiritualized internals and physical externals through knight Antonius Block and squire Jöns returning after fighting in the Crusades. Bergman also claims the calm integration through an unstable contrast in the set of Sweden in North Europe where lives become exhausted in instant, hypocritical frenzy about religion. That is a conflict between metaphysics and physics, a collision between theology and philosophy; furthermore a realization of unknown world. His film ‘The Seventh Seal’ captures a violent aspect of religion, which exploit the intrinsic fear and terror of humans. It is Hero Paradigm noticed with a character arc displayed in the view of Antonius, who suffers spiritual pain because the Crusades having lasted over 200years in the medieval era keep silent in the questions about the death and eternals in relation with God and belief. This film reflects theatrical devices into the frame constantly. For example, it borrows Bertolt Brecht’s distanciation by morality play in addition to medieval liturgical drama, farce and interlude. It is remarkable that by rhetoric of Aristoteles, the genres of suggesting, debating, judging are reflected in the sequences of the morality play, the Inn and the Witchhunt, resulting in making an effect of alienation. Thus, It is the intellectual faculties of Bergman as a film composer that have the audience contemplate and analyze every phenomenon suggested.
