Rebirth in America

It is an undoubted fact that Bergman's acting skills are as good as her beauty.

Her slender figure, deep eyes, pointed nose, and perfect lips give her a noble and elegant temperament. Looking from a distance, she looks more like a goddess. Even if you don't wear luxurious clothes, you still shine.

She came to Hollywood from her native Sweden and quickly became a well-known star at the time. His dignified appearance, charming voice and extraordinary acting skills have left many classic films for the audience.

"Casablanca" (also known as "Casablanca"), in which she co-starred with Henry Bogart, is one of the most classic films in film history. Bergman's very short hair in "The Bell Tolls" became popular all over the world. At that time, she was already an idol in the hearts of women across the United States, almost controlling women's dressing preferences and clothing.

Usually, when ordinary people see Bergman for the first time, they are always shocked by her beautiful, holy, natural, fresh and elegant appearance. It is unbelievable that such a beautiful woman could exist in the world. After he sees Bergman's acting skills, he will be conquered by her outstanding performance.

However, such a beautiful and holy woman has experienced something tragic that no one else has ever experienced. Her mother died when she was two years old, her father died when she was twelve years old, and she was adopted by her uncle.

The longer Alex and the others spent with Bergman, the more they felt that she was extremely dedicated to acting. They had never seen an actress who devoted herself entirely to acting. In the face of beautiful women, many men can't help but behave themselves. This is a man's natural instinct. Alex is no exception. He especially likes to stay with beauties like Bergman and Hepburn.

Bergman also liked his genius very much. When facing Alex, no one could treat him like a child. At least they treat each other as equal friends. The two of them have similar auras and enjoy chatting together when they are not shooting.

Alex also learned some things about Bergman from the conversation between the two, especially the biggest turning point in her life, which was when she was admitted to the Royal Theater.

Her lonely childhood gave her a strong interest in acting, and she was often immersed in an imaginary world alone. When she was fourteen years old, she recorded her dream in her diary: to one day stand on the stage in her hometown and have the audience applaud her enthusiastically.

After graduating from high school in 1933, Bergman was 17 years old. She wanted to apply for the Royal Theater School in Stockholm, so she expressed her thoughts to her uncle.

The uncle thought about it and said to her: "I will only give you this chance. If you fail the exam, you have to follow my arrangements."

She agreed, and in the days that followed, she began to prepare for the exam.

Bergman cherished this hard-won only opportunity. She carefully prepared a sketch and rehearsed it repeatedly at home, even performing the show in her sleep and dreams.

On the day of the exam, she came to the exam room early, and it was her turn to perform on stage. She walked to the stage and started to perform her skit. Halfway through the performance, she found that everyone was talking to each other and using their hands. She was gesticulating and didn't watch her performance at all. She felt extremely lost and thought that she was definitely out of luck. When she was distracted, she forgot her lines again...

When she was panicking, she heard the chairman of the judging panel say to her: "Stop, thank you, please come up next to perform."

Bergman walked off the stage dejectedly, heartbroken because she knew she had lost this opportunity forever. She cried as she walked, feeling that life had no meaning anymore and wanted to die.

She came to a river and planned to jump to end her life. The water was dark black, shiny and smelly. She thought, this water is so dirty, I can't die like this even if I die. So she left the river and considered other ways to end her life.

That night, she wrote her suicide note and packed her belongings. She planned to go to the store the next day to buy a lethal potion and use it to end her own life.

The next morning, when she got up and was about to go out, the postman suddenly came and handed her a letter. She opened it and saw that it was from the Royal School of Drama. It was actually a notice of admission to her!

She couldn't believe it. She ran to the school with the admission notice, personally found the chairman of the judging panel yesterday, and said to him: "I performed so poorly yesterday and you were so disappointed with me, but why are you still admitted today?" And me?"

The chairman of the judging panel said: "Your performance yesterday was quite outstanding! Among all the candidates yesterday, your performance was the best, so within a few minutes of your performance, we all started talking below, and we all thought you were good. I am very happy for you with your outstanding acting talent. At that time, one of the judges said that with such ability, you don’t need to perform anymore, just admit it directly, so I asked you to stop and let the next one come up..."

After hearing this, she was very surprised and frightened. She thought that if the water in the river was not so dirty, she might have lost this opportunity forever! In this way, she successfully entered drama school.

After Bergman became a star, he was once described as "Sweden's brilliant gift to Hollywood."

What distinguished her from other Hollywood female stars during this period was that she never changed her name, she performed completely naturally without any makeup, and Bergman was also one of the tallest leading actresses.

When she plays opposite Parker, she is never at a disadvantage. Every move she made reflected the style of a baroness. Under her guidance, Parker's performance was also beyond the standard. Under the leadership of Parker, Hepburn also matured rapidly and made great progress.

The relationship between Hepburn and Bergman is a bit strange. Both are extremely beautiful women. When they weren't filming, they seemed to have a good relationship and talked about everything. But when they go on stage to perform, they will work hard and compete with each other to see whose performance is better.

Seeing the three of them in this state, Alex would be so happy that he would laugh in his dreams. Fortunately, he found all of them. Otherwise, without one of them, his movie would be inferior.

As for others, they found it a joy to film with the likes of Hepburn, Bergman and Parker. Driven by the three actors and actresses, all the performers performed very well, and their performance levels were also improved.

Whenever Alex sees the Baroness played by Bergman, Alex will be reminded of the resentment of later generations for this character being abandoned by the colonel. He felt that he could use this to his advantage. After all, with the actress-level Bergman supporting him, he wasn't afraid of messing up.

"Ms. Bergman, Mr. Parker, please come over here!" Alex did whatever he wanted, so he immediately called these two people over.

Morris and others looked at Alex in confusion, wondering what sudden idea the young director had.

After Alex waited for both of them to approach, he picked up a piece of paper and quickly wrote some lines on it. As he was writing, he said: "You will reshoot this scene, this scene, and this scene later."

When Parker and Bergman picked it up, they found that they both had very few lines but required an intimate look. They were a little confused. The heroine of this drama was not Hepburn. Why did they suddenly add these scenes to the Baroness?

"Director, can you explain it to us?" Pike was the first to ask the question that Bergman also wanted to ask.

Alex shrugged and said, "This is a scene from when the colonel and the baroness were together in the past. I need to use it in the film."

Parker and Bergman understood it, but then they couldn't figure out why the script needed to be revised if the original script was good. However, there is no need for the director to explain these things to them in such detail.

Both of them are veteran actors. They got the simple script written by Alex and quickly finished shooting the above scenes.

It's just these temporary scenes that made Hepburn feel a little strange in her heart, as if something dear to her had been taken away.

Alex added these for a purpose. He wanted to create an MTV-style easter egg at the end of the film, similar to "Little Fugitive." It can also be said to be his interpretation of the past of the Baroness and the Colonel. As for why I did this, it was because I came up with it after seeing Bergman.

In "Casablanca" filmed in 1942, Bergman's Ilsa was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that she had to turn away when the man she loved deeply was within reach. In that film, Bergman sat at the piano and murmured: "Sam, for the sake of old friends, please play "As Time Goes Again"", smiling slightly when Humphrey Bogart toasted, and in Bogart's mouth. Farewell sadly at the foggy airport...

Similarly, in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" filmed by UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net in 1943, her character Maria also lost her lover, and they were surrounded during their retreat. In order to cover his comrades in breaking out of the encirclement, and to protect the little life in Maria's belly, Robert resolutely pushed her away, leaving the final choice to himself...

In both films, Bergman played the role of a lover who lost his lover. Now Alex wants to add a third part, that is, let the baroness fall deeply in love with the colonel, but her love is stolen by someone, and she finally leaves sadly.

Alex believes that an actor like Bergman plays a role that is so perfect and holy that the audience will feel the same when she is even slightly hurt. They will be happy, sad, ashamed and angry because of what happened to Bergman...

It is precisely because of this that when Bergman did something immoral, people would be so angry.

In Bergman's glory years, she led a generation of coquettishness.

She cuts her hair short, which will make short hair a popular hairstyle at that time. If she appears on the screen without makeup, sales of cosmetics will decrease; if she plays a nun, the number of people entering a nunnery will increase.

Hollywood businessman Howard Hughes once bought all the air tickets from New York to Los Angeles, forcing her to accept an invitation to fly on his private jet. A fan personally drove a sheep from Sweden to Rome to give to her. There are also letters addressed only to London, so that they can be delivered to Ingrid Bergman.

With Bergman at his disposal, what else could he not dare to do? He dares to do anything! He firmly believed that Bergman's acting skills would move those people to tears.
