El existencialismo en las películas el séptimo sello de Ingmar Bergman y Waking life de Richard Linklater

Abstract

This work establishes the relationship between philosophic thinking and film image from the nodal point of the existentialist tendency, which has built through the hermeneutic analysis of the movies: The seventh seal of Ingmar Bergman (1964) and Waking Life of Richard Linklater (2001). It develops an overview of the main issues raised by the existencial thinking and the issue of human subjectivity as the center of philosophy with Sören Kierkegaard. The importance of the individual existence (Dasein) as the starting point for the study of the being in Heidegger, and the problem of human freedom and temporality in the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre, besides the theorie of the absurd and social commitment in the works of Albert Camus. This work also has to do with existentialist expression in art, novel, theater and film, as a result of subjective and unsystematic philosophy, closely related to aesthetics, showing a renewed relevance of philosophical issues raised by twentieth-century existentialism in the context of the twenty-first century postmodern context.
