Very sharp, almost stripped away the hypocrisy of the audience across the screen

Compared with 2002's "Far Away", the background of the story shifted from Istanbul to Cappadocia, leaving aside the glitz of the city, the relationship between people, and the loneliness of individuals, which are as unremarkable as the strange rocks in Cappadocia. Coveredly exposed. The loneliness in the movie is more realistic and sharper than that in "Far Away", almost stripping the audience's hypocrisy across the screen.

Each individual's mind is independent, and it is nearly impossible to penetrate the barriers of personal experience and inject the minds of others. No one can really understand another human being, so human beings are inherently alone. But emotional loneliness is not caused by “not understanding” itself, but by prejudice and disrespect. The conversation between Nico and Aiden, and Nico and Nihal, staged the narrowest conflict between people, which is to hide one's own ugliness by demeaning others. It's that demeanor that keeps Nicole out of a wider world and makes her so lonely.

In the dialogue between Aiden and Nihal, Aiden repeatedly asked: "What did I do wrong? Why don't you understand me? Why is it so unfair?" This is also the question that the audience repeatedly asks others in their daily lives. . But who has ever thought that they have ever understood others? Have you ever understood the "incomprehension" of others? Have you ever given others the opportunity to understand you? Who is really fair? Like myself, when I become a party to a conflict, I often think "the other side should feel guilty", "how to make the other side feel guilty", but the truth is: I should feel guilty first. But everyone is the same, deceived by their own pride, controlled by their own arrogance, refuses to bow to reality and admit their faults.

When Aiden, who wanted to escape and ran away, returned home and saw Nihal behind the window, he seemed to have understood that it was his pride that locked him in his own world, and he failed to let Nihal come in. Failing to let himself go out and touch the world Nihar knew. He really went into hibernation when he started writing The History of Turkish Drama. Living in the sense of fullness brought to him by the things he is familiar with, compromising with a marriage without love, with a career without passion, the ideal that he really wants to achieve is his love with Nihal, and the one who rides a motorcycle. Like people who travel by car, they leave in a hurry and never return. What could be more lonely than this?

    The D959 is completely deserted and empty with the incomprehensible footage. The story is adapted from Chekhov. The whole atmosphere is very Russian, and Lao Tuo and even Toon can find a trace. Moral dilemmas, impossibility of verbal communication and forced introspection intertwine into unbreakable loneliness. But such a rich lens language and so many lines are very ingenious, especially the scene after being drunk is a mental pollution level.

    An immersive viewing experience, every frame of composition and photography is as beautiful as an oil painting, and Ceylon tells the story of Turkey in a dull and even slow manner. On the surface, it is about a couple who are drifting apart but inseparable, but in fact, the main body of the film is the hometown of "hibernation", which is Turkey. She is riddled with holes, lifeless, and has serious class divisions. No one knows where the way out is. Everyone seems to have a thousand words, but only the pity of "Jiao Di Di" and the self-esteem of "drunk" are left. "We're so exhausted, we're going to pretend that there's a lot to do, and every morning I have great ideas, and all day long, I'm doing nothing."

Winter Sleep quotes

  • Aydin: Justice doesn't even exist in nature, why should it exist here?

  • Aydin: [Epilogue] Nihal, I didn't go away. I couldn't. Whether it's because I've grown old, or I've gone mad, or because I've become a different man, think what you like. I just don't know. But this new man inside me for a few days won't let me go away. Please, don't ask me to go either. I now understand nothing is calling me to Istanbul. Everything is alien to me there as it is everywhere else. I want you to know that I have no one but you. And I miss you every minute, every second that goes by. But my pride will never let me tell you this. I know very well how to terrible or impossible it would be to part from you. Just as I know that you do not love me anymore. I know we can't go back to the old days. And there is no need to. Take me with you like a servant, like a slave. And let us continue our life even if we do it your way. Forgive me.
