Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

He was a very talented man. I loved his work.

Oh, that's too bad.

I didn't know he'd studied under Strindberg. That makes a lot of sense, in retrospect.

Bergman did not study by Strindberg. Strindberg died in 1912, six years before the birth of Bergman.

I think he studied Strindberg, rather than with Strindberg. Certainly many of his more surrealistic films were inspired by Strindberg's Traumspeile.

As an aside, I once read that, as a severely depressed young man, Strindberg attempted to commit suicide by repeatedly banging his head against a tree. That's hard core.

Ah -- yeah. I knew something about that wasn't right, because Strindberg was writing at the turn of the last century. I misread the article; thanks for the clarification. Would've been cool, though.

The Seventh Seal has just reached the 50th anniversary of its UK release and is showing at a cinema near me - more reason to go and give it another look. I could do without seeing Wild Stawberries again though - weird. My favourite Bergman doesn't get a mention - Summer With Monica.

Wild Strawberries is one of my favorites. That and Fanny and Alexander.

Ingmar Bergman was the greatest artist to ever work in the cinema. He has had more of an impact on my life than hardly anything else I can think of. He will be sorely missed.

I'm just curious ... until news of his death came out, how many people knew that Bergman was still alive? I certainly didn't.

I am sort of a history and old movie buff, I did.

Yeah, I knew too. I had heard he was living a very secluded and lonely life on Faro since the death of his last wife. Screening movies in private and interacting with almost no-one. I guess the demons that haunted him throughout his life, which showed up in his work, continued to haunt him in his final years.
