Question

Pick out examples from the text that show Bergman’s sensitivity to sensory impressions which have made him a great filmmaker

Answer 1

There are various instances in the story that depict Bergman’s bravery as a filmmaker. The prominent one being the picture of a wall hanging. He could imagine the wall hanging and represent it vividly, bringing the whole scene alive through his narrations. He could also imagine the church bells ringing and visualize the pigeons flying, transforming his readers into a completely different world. Through his fantasy of imagination, it was a complete dramatic scene created by Bergman. Another example is when he left all the work just to watch the cranes fly at Dalarna. All these incidents highlight Bergman’s sensitivity to sensor impressions that made him a great filmmaker.
