Existentialism for Karin, of Saraband
January 17th 2008 12:28
From the Bergman's film Saraband, released in 2002
The poor Karin, a youngster been raised by his parent, is chosen to be used by life as an example for moral.
Since her mom's death, his father lived with the girl and prepared her to be a professional musician, playing the cello. He wants her to go to the conservatory near Stockholm, close to him. She wants to go to Munich with a friend and integrate the local orchestra, after an invitation.
She has the 2 choises, but a bigger problem. She knows how much his dad depends on her, since he's quite depressed when she's not around. Thus, she has to choose: to go her father's way and make him happy, or to choose her option and leave him, possibly to suicide.
So, we have here a good example of existentialist moral: which one is the good option? Which path should she choose? To spend her life, or his dad's? No option is the best, she has to choose, and live with the responsibility of the results of her action.
Good film, but quite depressing...
cheers.
PS: Being Nietzschean, she would leave her dad
