He didn't seem like a bad guy, though he obviously didn't think much of himself. My mind keeps wondering why the Knight never was rewarded with any kind of answer. (Except the actor and his family, who had escaped.) Now the Knight did too, but that's because Death revealed himself to him, as he eventually did to everyone in the group. Did he hallucinate when he saw it? The fact that he was able to see Death when his wife could not makes me think no. He is apparently rewarded for that with a vision of Mary and the Christ child, which moves him to tears. He is not yearning nor searching for answers he simply lives and loves life. (The one with the wife and child.) He's not driven with a quest that torments him. He searches, yearns, for so long, and finds out nothing, even at the end.Ĭontrast that with the Actor. He's so desperate to find answers, giving up on God making His thoughts known, that he makes it clear he'd like to talk to the Devil himself.

From now on, I'll simply refer to him as The Knight.) He's desperate to find any kind of proof of God, possibly to justify the Crusade he has been on, but perhaps just to validate life in general. I mostly think about Max Von Sydow's character's thoughts on God. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts. It's a film whose imagery has always stuck with me, and after just seeing it again, I find myself going over the themes of the film and asking myself questions. I just saw it again for the second time (the first was over a decade ago). Please don't read if you haven't seen the film.
