The movie I've always wanted to see, just in time for the French Film Festival in the past few weeks, so I went to see it with my classmates. It's an imaginary style. The rhythm is slow, and the story does not have too many twists and turns. From the perspective of five girls, the director shows us the deep-rooted discrimination, regulation and restraint against women in the small village, and accuses this vulgarity with the resistance of the girls. The confrontation between the young force represented by the girl and the traditional force represented by the uncle constitutes the main contradiction of the film, and the conflict revolves around this.
In the eldest sister, the second sister and the third sister, it is more that women obey in desperation and silently bear the shackles brought by tradition. The youngest sister has the most rebellious spirit and ability to act. Most of the surprises are created by her. Gao, the more she wanted to escape, at the end of the film, she fled to Istanbul to find her teacher, broke through successfully and left hope.
In the intense conflict, the girl even paid the price of her life, but this did not change anything, and the shackles remained strong.
The film is rich in tone changes, using different colors to express the girls' emotions. When being reprimanded by the grandmother, the dark gray tone expresses dissatisfaction and protest; when lying on the bed, the bright colors express happiness and beauty.
Photography is mostly hand-held, with more close-up shots, and the slightly shaky images make me feel as if I see the story through my own eyes, and I have a strong sense of substitution.
When the background music is played, there is no dialogue, no story, and more long shots with characters or environments, and the rendering power is extremely strong.

    [7.5] In the relatively advanced Turkey, this is still the case in some remote places. Not to mention other poorer and less developed Islamic countries. Facing the oppression of male power, the youngest sister fought like a wild horse, and finally ushered in an outbreak after the death of the third sister. I hope that every woman in the world can have sex with the world like a wild horse →_→ PS The youngest sister seems to be a card draw. .
