—some thoughts on the movie "Hibernating"
"Hibernating" is a movie with a strong sense of substitution, so although the film is long, it can still be watched, and because of this, Different moviegoers will have different viewing experiences.
The title of "Hibernation" should be meaningful. Some people say that "hibernation" actually implies the opposition between people, which obviously makes "hibernation" not live up to its name. In fact, hibernation refers to an overall state that includes various oppositional relationships, and this state refers to the "awakening" state after hibernation. The moral of hibernation lies in this: if we regard the state of maintaining order despite intense human conflict as "hibernation", then the "awakening" after hibernation will be a very strong state of disorder. Therefore, from this point of view, instead of literally translating the name of the film as "hibernation", it is better to translate it as "winter awakening" as in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which can better demonstrate the meaning of the film.
The "hibernation" as a whole state actually contains many opposing relationships. What kind of "awakening" these opposing relationships will lead to, the film does not give a clear answer, and the film does not seem to have any intention of this. The "people's heart" is gradually awakening, and if the awakening of the people's heart is not treated properly, everyone knows well: the confrontation between husband and wife will lead to the separation of labor and swallows, the confrontation between brothers and sisters will separate, and the confrontation between classes may lead to a violent society. change. But this film does not stop at showing the awakening of people's hearts, it also provides a good medicine for resolving conflicts between all parties - compromise. This kind of compromise is and should be made by the stronger party, otherwise it is "submission", which is not conducive to the resolution of conflicts and the relaxation of opposing relations. The reason why we say "compromise" is a good medicine is because the attitude of the strong is a response to the gradual awakening of people's hearts, and it is also a kind of respect for the needs of human nature.
So, what is the heart of the awakened mind? How is the compromise made, and what kind of human respect is it based on?
First, the awakening of equality consciousness. The film first shows the social status quo in Turkey: serious wealth polarization and class antagonism, and the big landowners seem to ignore this, they think poverty is a natural disaster, but for the lower-class tenants and tenant farmers, they do not think The status quo is justified, and they show a strong "resentment" about it, which shows that their sense of equality has begun to awaken. From the few scenes of the conflict between the tenant Ismail family and the large landowner Aydin, we can clearly We can see this; and from the class conflict, we can clearly feel the breath of revolution, especially from the scene of Ismail burning money, and the angry look in his son's eyes, which seems to be asking "The prince and general, would you rather be kind?" . However, this kind of class conflict cannot be solved directly by individuals. Although the wealthy realize this, they are still actively raising funds for education. Moreover, enlightened landlords, such as Aiden's father, never push their tenants too hard, All these can prove that they are still trying to make a certain compromise to the poor, and this compromise is to respect the poor's consciousness of equality.
Second, the awakening of free consciousness. "Living under your control, at your expense, at the cost of freedom and indifferent loyalty." We can clearly see Nihal's Free consciousness. She is unwilling to live a nurturing life. She is actively engaged in public welfare and wants to be free to do what she is interested in. This "freedom" is the source of her sense of existence. However, fighting for this freedom comes at a price. , she used divorce as a threat to fight for her freedom. Although she succeeded, her success was premised on giving the necessary respect to her husband's authority, because she eventually showed weakness. In Aiden's view, this was a kind of respect. kind of grateful. It can be seen that Nihal's freedom is the result of mutual compromise. She exchanged respect for authority for Aiden's respect for freedom.
Third, respect the awakening of consciousness. Respect is a human need, but giving respect is never based on human nature. It is acquired and can only be understood after tragic bloody conflicts. This film spares no effort to illustrate this point. Nihal wanted to help the poor, but he didn't know the way and didn't take into account that "the dignity of the poor is their only pride". When she sent money directly to Ismail's family, what she got was the humiliation that the money was burned on the spot. Of course, Aiden's awakening of respect is a theme throughout the film, as reflected in several longer dialogues. In the first long dialogue, Aiden's sister Necla (Necla) believes that sin should be tolerated. Aiden refuses to accept this view and sneers at it. His behavior not only arouses the dissatisfaction of his sister, but also arouses the displeasure of his wife ; In another long dialogue that follows, Nika and Aiden's conversation turns into mutual attacks, only because of their differences in values, they break up; the third long dialogue involves Nihal's struggle for freedom The problem. After the first three dialogues, Aiden was almost alone, he seemed to realize something, he wanted to leave, but he felt that this would not solve the problem, so he wanted to seek advice from friends, and this was the final dialogue. This dialogue is with old friend Suavi and the fundraiser teacher. Suavi's remarks hit his soft spot: "Since there are some things we can't change, we must learn to be flexible, don't judge others, and accept things as they are." This is obviously inconsistent with his proud character, at least in his kingdom, He has always asked others to adapt to him. How could he ever think of adapting to others? But the old friend's words still made him suddenly enlightened, and also provided some reasonable basis for his existing or future behavior. In fact, as long as you don't try to change others, it is a kind of respect, but Aiden seems to go further in respect: he is willing to change himself for others: he conforms to his wife's request, responds to the freedom and equality consciousness of the disadvantaged, Accepted my sister's suggestion and stopped entangled in the moral and religious issues of public interest.
Whether the weak are seeking freedom and equality, or they are demanding respect, for Aiden, that means making compromises. However, near the end of the film, Aiden lets go of the wild horses, but he still hunts the hares, and when he comes home with his prey, he seems to be stating that there is a limit to compromise. This has to make us ponder: if the problems between people are solved like this, isn't it more difficult to solve the problems between nations and countries? How to compromise, seems to require wisdom. (by: heshenggen/2015-02-11)
