"Hibernation"

The work of Turkish director Ceylon, 14 years of Palme d'Or. Favorite movie of the year. The story is very simple, there is basically no plot, mainly the story between the landlord and the tenant, interspersed with various characters and class contradictions, and they can never be understood. There is always a wall between people in the movie, and a part is always hibernating, and it seems that it will never wake up. When watching the movie, I realized the weight of the wall that Yuan Zhesheng said, every moment in the movie. People and people can never understand each other, everything finally returns to the original point, and the world is still as cold as an ice cellar. "We are exhausted and make a false impression that there is a lot to do. Every morning I have a wonderful idea, but all day I have nothing to do." Maugham also said that each of us is lonely in the world. Everyone is imprisoned in an iron tower, and can only rely on some symbols to communicate their thoughts to others; and these symbols have no common value, so their meanings are vague and uncertain. We are so pitiful that we want to pass on the wealth of our hearts to others, but they do not have the ability to accept them. So we can only walk alone, not together in spite of our bodies, neither knowing nor being understood by others. We are like people living in a foreign country. We know very little about the language of this country, and while we have all sorts of wonderful and profound things to say, we can only limit ourselves to a few trite, banal words in a phrasebook. Our minds are full of thoughts, and all we can say is things like "Have you eaten today?" Deep despair, endless hibernation.

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.
