The film begins with the tenant's child breaking the window of the protagonist Ayudin's truck, and the dialogue begins between the "victim" and the brother of the child's father, who then turns into Hamdi, an honest and kind character whose father makes two long journeys to Ayudin Apologize. There is also a small discussion between Ayudin and his sister at the beginning - "Is it better not to fight against evil?" Then there are two main battles between Ayudin and his sister and wife. It's just that the ending on the surface is still very different. When discussing meaningful things in life with his sister who has nothing to do all day, Ayudin finally broke out, while her sister was still lying on the sofa lazily, facing Ayudin's counterattack with a smile. During the argument with his wife, the wife finally broke down and cried, but Ayudin peacefully walked into the house again and comforted his wife earnestly.
Ayudin's sister herself is a person without a "serious job". She reads books every day, earns a living by collecting rent, and asks strange questions from time to time. Yet it was she who often questioned the life of Ayudin, the accomplished writer. She thinks that the articles written by Ayudin are too superficial, and the themes are all about people in the market, which should be a higher-level pursuit. And commented on his article "ugly, self-indulgent, cliché". This, of course, angered the little accomplished and somewhat arrogant old writer. He thinks he's fine when he's doing what he's interested in, and doesn't like being pointed at by others. But what he couldn't bear more was that the accusing him was a venomous sister who had no job and had nothing to do all day, and her hypocritical and lazy appearance. So much so that Ayudin couldn't bear to break out in the end, but the elder sister who faced him still laughed and didn't care about Ayudin's refutation at all, which made him even more unbearable.
And Ayudin's wife is a young woman who is many years younger than him, and is very rebellious in her heart and pursues freedom. She earnestly and naively engaged in her own education fundraising business, convened a meeting, and wanted to do something big, but she always felt inferior in front of Ayudin, so much that she specifically told Ayudin not to come to the meeting. She was worried about the accusations and criticisms of the other party, and worried that her career would not be successful. In the end, Ayudin pointed out the flaws in her work, believing that she was ignorant of the world and lived too well, and would be deceived by those selfish, hypocritical and cunning participants. But all these dialogue expressions entered his wife's heart with pride and ridicule, which made the young and fiery heart really unbearable. She longed to be free, not under her husband's control all day long, expressing "unnecessary loyalty". She hopes her husband can try to "justify the people he doesn't like instead of boasting". Of course, when she finally admits that she can't leave her husband just because of very real problems - too young and no money, she should also get a little relief.
At the end of the film, Ayudin goes to a friend's house. The wife went to Hamdi to find out why his brother was so cynical. In fact, everything is nothing more than the conflict between poverty and low social status. The two scenes arranged by Ceylon still have huge helplessness. The money his wife kindly donated to Hamdi was discovered by his brother, and thrown into the flames in anger and shame; Ayudin argued with his friend's tenants, who symbolized the thousands of low-level people in society who were illiterate and low-ranking people who liked to gather to discuss, he Turn this jealousy and ignorance into alcoholic, unfounded accusations against the upper echelons, rhetoric. Ayudin fought back, "You guys are exhausted, pretending to be promising, having great ideas every morning, and doing nothing all day." After speaking, he vomited.
In fact, when I watched the movie, I always felt that Ceylon was nothing more than moving this kind of character relationship and conflict into the winter in central Turkey. You put it in another place and choose another suitable time (of course, this winter is necessary), seems to make sense. That is to say, the story and the background, in my opinion, don't fit together well, just like this piece doesn't have to take place at sea unlike the Titanic, the British patients can't be separated from the desert, and the escape from Tehran must be It has to be like an underdeveloped Iran with criminality and poor relations with the old and the United States. This aspect is a bit short, so 196 minutes is still necessary. In addition, while appreciating people's arguments, every now and then I think of the sentence "The argument is not enough" that the judge said during the BP debate.
