The story of "Ahlat Ağacı" progressed very slowly. Surprisingly, the three-hour film length did not really fly by. The audience’s viewing experience was like being trapped in an extremely large novel. Philosophy, religion, politics, and moral problems are intertwined. Fortunately, the final ending of the film is worth a long wait. Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan gave up the beautiful interference and unfolded the story in a more realistic way, finally integrating all the main lines of the story together. The final scene of the film resolves the conflict between the old and the new generation in two ways. For better or worse, the audience can choose which ending is real and which is a dream. Although a lot of poetry is missing, it does not mean that these fragments are unobtrusive, just like the towering white mountains, reminiscent of Abbas Kiarostami.

There are a lot of dialogues that distract the audience, but when the theme of the film is stripped away by the dense dialogue, there is a possibility that a group of unknown characters randomly interpret life in the space and time of the film. Words are revealed. Young people of every era are determined to resist vulgarity, and eventually become attached to vulgarity. The film is nothing more than a retrospective of this "should have done". The constantly changing world outlook of the returning youth has contributed to the completion of the story, but in the face of the historical context of fatalism, it is an inevitable result that the son repeats his father's experience. The restless, let him grow; the future, let it happen. ★★★★

When Ceylon became obsessed with intricate dialogue, he exposed himself as a director. In the final analysis, literature is too extravagant for most people, especially those who dream of achieving literature. It is like digging a well, either digging out water or hanging in the well to hang. The flipping of several dreams is a bit outdated. It's a story I've always wanted to write, thanks to Ceylon's exploration.

Sinan Karasu: Nobody's more dependable than a person who's alone with his conscience and free will. Because he builds this responsibility, he doesn't receive it. So he must undertake all the consequences of his acts.
Imam Veysel: Who says free will is free? Even if it was, how could you trust it?
Sinan Karasu: It's not for everyone. Isn't that why people without the courage choose servitude over existence?
Imam Veysel: All rivers are born as furious waterfalls but grow calm on their way to the sea. But your raging rivers drag along lots of pebbles and sticks, too.
Sinan Karasu: Just like strong characters drag underdogs and losers with them?
