The truth about Ceylon

Similar to The Three Monkeys, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia is also a truth-seeking film. The police, prosecutors, forensic doctors, and criminals searched for the corpse to autopsy, all in order to find the truth behind a murder, and the truth of Ceylon was often hidden in his finely woven and powerful video text. Different from "Three Monkeys", Ceylon hides those tricky camera angles and contrasts of front and back depth of field, but still retains his usual melancholy long-range shots.

Relationship: As you can see from the first shot of the opening, the three people (including the two murderers and the deceased Yakar) are friends.

Motivation: The mastermind (thin criminal Kenan) is the real biological father of the deceased's son.
Questions: 1. When digging up the dead, the fat criminal Moron said he was the real murderer.
2. During the dissection, it was found to be buried alive.
3. Some claim to see the dead still alive.

Seeing the dead can be seen as a soul, a similar phenomenon Kenan also appeared in Mayor's house.

The real murderer could be either Moron or Yakar's wife, but never Kenan. And the deceased Yakar was a manslaughter. Perhaps Moron didn't actually kill Yakar, but mistook him for dead and buried him. And since Yakar was going to be put in the car, it was tied up so Yakar couldn't struggle while suffocating.

Judging from the performance of Yakar's wife and children, Yakar's death is a relief for them, we can boldly assume that Kenan is not the father of the child, and the original intention of the murder came from his wife. And this assumption cannot be proven from any evidence from the development of the story. On the contrary, we can extend this meaning through the contrast of the director's play.

During the accompanying search for the body, prosecutor Nurest spoke to doctor Cemal about his wife's death. And this seemingly bizarre death was most likely his wife's suicide. The wife found out that Nurest was unfaithful, so after giving birth to the child, she chose to commit suicide through a drug overdose, and the ultimate reason for her suicide came from the punishment of her husband. "Women are cruel sometimes," a line from the prosecutor leads us to Yakar's true cause of death.

    "Most suicides are done to punish others." The rear car illuminates the front car to reveal a saint, corresponding to his role as a guilty suspect—a person of good and bad that you can never tell. Searching for the truth but not finding the truth, all thoughts and past events are told, this is the past of Asia Minor! At the moment when the apple rolling stopped, in this vast area, I don't know how many past events still lurked. "Everyone pays the price for what they do, but children are paying their parents' debt." What is worthy of praise for Ceylon is also the innovation in the theme of this genre film. I thought that Ceylon had changed its previous style, but in the end I found that it has not changed! Second brush in September 2020: A. The murderer is one of the few people in the town who doesn't drink alcohol, which leads to the dream scene of the saintess coming into the world; the prosecutor and the suspect are two classes of cheaters, concealment and suffering and redemption are reversed between good and evil; Consider, what happened in this immutable piece of Asia Minor.

    really like. The authenticity of the story is off the charts, not focusing on the merits of the case, but instead discussing all the details of the people involved. From one or two jokes to detailed face-to-face conversations, a certain stage of their past is exposed, giving enough room for imagination, so that moviegoers can gain a new experience.
