Ingmar Bergman, Woody Allen, and the Existential Crisis

There are probably a total of three people who will appreciate this, Slade and I being two of them, but here is my analysis of themes common to Ingmar and Allen, and in Bergman's case, Puh LEASE. There are really so many times in a person's life a person should really need to flog themselves because over the inability to continue belief in religion. YES BERGMAN LEFT HIS FAITH, BUT HE COULDN'T LEAVE IT ALONE. Sound familiar?

At least Allen's approach is a bit more light-hearted.

I don't know, I have always thought that the people who get realy excited about Niesche-type nihilism because it sounds OH SO INTELLECTUAL to criticize a large religious or philosophical movement always in the end have to answer the question: if real knowledge is deconstructing other knowledge, then doesn't that apply to YOUR drivel also?
