The image of Ceylon offers a panoramic view of the unique landscape of Anatolia, Turkey. This muddy, wet and magnificent village is a unique tourist destination, and the retired theater actor Aiden, who runs an inn here, is the owner. When facing tourists, he is friendly, kind, and humorous. This is the face of a typical tourist resort inn owner, talking about the world, talking loudly, listening to each other, and telling stories. Whether in an inn or a youth hostel, as long as it is a place where tourists, especially backpackers, gather, you will find it so easy and unfettered to talk to strangers. People are happy to talk, and of course there may be some ostentation in it, but it's generally open and you can say whatever you want because you don't have to worry about revealing secrets that will affect the rest of your life. Everyone is on one side, and there is no burden. In fact, strangers are often the best people to talk to. And once the relationship is close, people will communicate with each other more and more, and if they are familiar with each other, there will be more and more restrictions on communication. The more intimate, the more taboos in communication. Ceylon set the male protagonist Aiden as an innkeeper. Obviously, he tried to reflect the contrast through such a setting, and he did it. When you get along and communicate with close and familiar people, you will want to ask for, get what, and get the answers you want. This is the biggest obstacle to effective communication, but also the biggest motivation. Every communication between Aiden and his tenants, his sister and his wife is motivated by solving problems and conflicts, but each time the conflicts and estrangements deepen with the deepening of the communication, the scars in his heart become more painful. We can never completely think from another person's point of view, so our verbal communication is always just self-preservation.
As a local intellectual with considerable power and money, Aiden's arrogance is palpable. The tenant's son smashing his car window with a stone is an event throughout the film. However, the communication to solve the problem of smashing the car window ended in failure at the beginning, and even almost staged a full martial arts. The poor tenant's rent arrears forced the family's eldest son to bow before Aiden, but the 170-dollar car window compensation left him stunned. He brought his troublesome nephew to the door and tried to apologize by kissing the back of Aiden's hand, while the hypocritical Aiden stretched out his hand while saying embarrassment, enjoying this godfather-like courtesy, but the nephew rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. ...... The communication failed again, but the trampling of dignity brought about by differences in status and class could not be erased. The disgust and resentment in the eyes of children made people shudder, hatred sprouted in the new generation, and he would rather faint than show weakness. Aiden's communication with his sister can be said to be naked and hurt each other, and the reason for all this comes from his sister's unique point of view: embracing evil. Embrace your alcoholic ex, beg for forgiveness, and beg for forgiveness even if it's all the ex-husband's fault. This view was mocked by Aiden's wife as having watched too many idol dramas, while her sister countered that if she reconciled with her ex-husband, she could get rid of this high-ranking sister-in-law who feels good about herself. The communication between the sister and the sister-in-law ended in failure, and the sister vented her dissatisfaction with life on Aiden in the room, because Aiden was the closest person to her. Because of their closeness and familiarity, they can speak unbridly and hurt each other. The younger sister questioned and criticized the motives of Aiden's writing and the professionalism of the content, while Aiden made a ruthless attack on her poor character and mean language. The two unabashedly vented their long-hidden grievances and dissatisfaction in a long verbal attack. The relationship between the two would not improve because of communication, but instead plummeted to a freezing point. Aiden's wife loves charity work, but when she invites a group of men who make charitable donations to come to the house for a party, the conflict between the husband and wife erupts. They have been separated for a long time, and their wives are eager to divide their own independent space. The reasons for young and beautiful women to marry middle-aged and old men are always money and power. The favorable living conditions bring exquisite life and envious eyes, but also bring From my encroachment and the dissolution of freedom. Aiden is afraid that his inexperienced wife will be deceived by donors and he will treat her like a child. The wife complained that she had dedicated her youth to this old man and a boring, nihilistic, and passionless life. She could have divorced, moved to a big city, and started her own business, but she didn't. She didn't want to divorce, maybe she still loved Ai. Den, maybe she didn't dare to give up a good life, maybe both. Their communication remained sluggish, with his wife describing Aiden as an arrogant man who was controlling, full of unrealistic speeches, belittling others and distrusting everyone. Aiden doesn't care about charity. Maybe he thinks charity is nothing more than a group of sanctimonious hypocrites, but he donated money to his wife's charity event. This was a compromise after communication, but he got an even more ironic one. The result was exactly what Aiden had foreseen and expected. The wife took the donation to the tenant's house who had been unable to pay the rent, and tried to donate the donation to the family for free. This is her kindness as a wealthy person, and she believes that it is a just and selfless charity. However, this is also the most arrogant kind of arrogance. The money thrown into the stove by the master is a slap in the face from reality to his wife. As Aiden said, he has gone through the process of poverty to fame and fortune. He knows human nature and life well. The rules of the law, and the young, inexperienced wife is the real arrogant person, without the capital earned through her own hands, the so-called charity and alms are just self-righteous justice and ignorant arrogance. Aiden did not leave, neither did his wife, they may never leave each other, even though language communication is so difficult, life seems to have other forms of communication beyond language, such as the pile of cash that was burned to ashes, that It is a more effective way of communication than language.
