After a sharp firefight, police wounded the assailant and dragged him from a nearby cellar. He was identified as a 23-year-old Munich house painter named Josef Bachmann, who had traveled to Berlin expressly to kill Dutschke. "I read about Martin Luther King and thought, 'You too must do something like this,' " he explained to police. Even as Dutschke underwent a successful five-hour operation for the removal of a bullet from his skull, and seemed to be on the way to recovery, the news of the attempted assassination caused Germany's most widespread civil disturbances...

Shattered Shards. As he traces the history of Von Sydow's agonies, Bergman draws almost too straight a line: as a boy, the painter was chastised by his parents, locked in a dark closet, then caned repeatedly by his father until he begged forgiveness from his mother. As Von Sydow descends into insanity, he keeps re-enacting that scene in the closet.
