The content of Gao Da Shang is almost the same as other film reviews, so here is a casual chat about the feelings of an ordinary audience. Although this film is long, it is very real, and it feels like the ordinary life of the Turks. From the plot, I understand that the male protagonist also suffered hardships when he was young, but he is more talented. He became an actor when he grew up. Although he was not a big hit, he was also an artist. He should have been staying in Istanbul and belonged to the city. Elite level. After the death of his parents, he left some property and opened a hotel. After retirement, he returned to his hometown and married a concubine. Maybe because of playing art, this old man looks sloppy, but his ability is really good. He can play with computers, write columns, compile tables and settle accounts. He has a high level of education and understands business operations. Just a donation is enough for rural people to buy a suite. But a big problem is that he is not down-to-earth. His wife is also such a person. The house left by his father has been an old tenant for decades, and he does not know it. Doing things is also like the urban elite. The tenant went to the court without paying the rent for a few months, and moved the TV and refrigerator as collateral. The tenant brothers should have been raised by his father, but he has no sympathy for him.
The film was shot in winter, and it looked quite desolate, but after checking, Cappadocia is a famous tourist area in Turkey. In summer, people play hot air balloons. My brother, this hotel is estimated to make a lot of money. But it is still difficult for ordinary people. The tenants and brothers rented a house when they were young. They are still renting when they are married and starting a business, and they can't pay the rent if there is any problem in the family. In addition to the gap between the rich and the poor, ideology and religious beliefs, there are also huge differences between urban and rural areas. The more wealthy and educated people in Turkey are, the less religious they are. The male protagonist is a typical example. He doesn’t even go to mosques, and he writes some religious articles. His sister criticized neither pain nor itching. Ordinary people have a low level of education, but are extremely religious. The tenant's younger brother said that the place where he lives now is very close to the mosque, and it is convenient to pray five times a day, otherwise he will run far away. I didn't expect that people in small parts of Turkey not only pray five times a day, but also go to the mosque, this kind of loyalty is indeed possible.
Life seems to be peaceful on the surface, but the differences between different groups in society are actually quite big. As the teacher said in the last three chats of the film, the old traditional values have been broken, but the new value system has not yet been established. Obviously, as a young teacher, he is still very motivated. The quote from Shakespeare is very handsome and thought-provoking. After checking it, he said "Richard III" Act V, Scene 3:
Conscience is nothing more than a term used by cowards. It was originally created to scare the strong into confusion. The weapon is our conscience, and the sword is our decree.
Conscience is but a word that cowards use, devised at first to keep the strong in awe. Our strong arms be our conscience, swords our law.
What Kemal and Erdogan did seem to be practicing this sentence. Although Richard III was a tyrant, what he said was not necessarily unreasonable.
After watching this film, I didn't have any artistic thoughts. Instead, I remembered the sentence that was repeated when I was in school: development is the last word. When I think about this sentence when I get older, I have a different perception. Just digging into human nature cannot solve any problems, while economic development can solve most problems. So artists reflect problems, and politicians solve problems. We also have our own problems, which we hope can be solved.
