In a small village in northern Turkey, five sisters are seen as a local indiscretion scandal after a fight with a boy. Since then, they have been placed under house arrest, waiting to be married. Judging from the introduction, this seems to be a film from a third world country full of accusations and tears, and the central idea basically does not depend on acting. Adolescence suffering from sexual repression, the shadow of patriarchy, the imprisonment of human nature by backward etiquette and customs... If you watch such movies too much, you will inevitably become immune to them. Surprisingly, the film is surprisingly bright and airy. It is a dark subject of realism, but it captures the bright temperament of romanticism. Although director Denis Aegwin was born in Turkey, he grew up in France, and the film's video style also has a strong French literary flavor. Although the five sisters are imprisoned at home, the camera is soft and full of eroticism, always wandering on their healthy carcasses, soft and even overexposed light, filters, and close-ups almost run through the entire film. When the lens passes through the barrier of the window like a ray of sunlight and falls on their slightly quivering eyelashes and flourishing hair, when the lens is held infinitely close to their skin, it seems that they can feel their breathtaking beauty through the screen. . Even if they are imprisoned at home and forced to learn cooking and needlework with their grandmother, they can still have fun, such as cutting their black robes out of the shape of a cheongsam, revealing their slender legs; In a sexy swimsuit, pretend to be sunbathing by the sea. Sexual consciousness does not need to be awakened, it is innate, with raw vitality. Beauty does not need to be hidden, the gossip women in hoods in small villages, they do not hate beauty, but fear beauty. The director is using hot lust to contrast their imprisoned youth. The grandmother and uncle took over the five sisters due to the early death of their parents. Uncles are undoubtedly a symbol of patriarchy and a defender of Islamic patriarchal social structure and ritual customs. In just a short vacation, the three sisters were selected like commodities, betrothed, and married. Although grandma has love and kindness towards the five sisters, what she can do is only to help them cover up in trivial matters. Sadly, she never thought it was wrong for a girl to marry a strange man she had never met before. She recounted her own experience over and over again, saying that she only slowly fell in love with her husband after getting married. This is "banal evil", more terrifying than manifested malice. In the name of "love", she has become an accomplice of "sin", using local teachings as an excuse to give this "evil" legitimacy. If the uncle welded iron railings to the doors and windows of the house, it represents persecution from the outside world, then grandma is destroying and eroding the five sisters in spirit. In the name of love, physical and mental control of people, not only in Turkey, but also in any country in the world, it is almost universal. I really like some of the clever metaphors in the video. The first place, the metaphor of apples: the five sisters and a group of teenagers steal apples in the green orchard in the opening scene, where the green apples are a metaphor for "sex". Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, (generally considered to be an apple), which gave rise to the six passions. Second, the metaphor of long hair: The five sisters all have long, charming brown hair. When they blow in the wind, they are as soft and shiny as the mane of a wild horse. It is a symbol of freedom and may also be the title of the film. reason. The third place is the metaphor of guns: the third sister shot herself on the eve of her marriage. Generally speaking, guns are regarded as a symbol of male strength. The shooting of a young girl is a kind of resistance and spiritual victory against the oppression of patriarchy. The fourth place, the metaphor of the tunnel: the uncle took the five sisters to the hospital and drove into a tunnel, from the light to the dark, which means that the shadow began to cover their fate; and at the end of the film, the fifth sister Lalei finally took the fourth sister. After escaping from the cage, their car drove into the light from the depths of a tunnel, which also meant that they would usher in a new life, and the two tunnels echoed back and forth. Wumei is smart and clever in the film. She likes to watch football games, learns to drive with a truck driver and finally saves herself successfully. She has both feminine softness and masculine courage. In other words, the director has deliberately blurred gender characteristics in her. . This may be the director's hope for the future image of women and women's rights. In the end, the fifth sister and the fourth sister escaped to Istanbul, which was mentioned many times in the film, and went to the language teacher. Istanbul here carries almost all the Turks' imagination of the universal values of the West, and it is their spiritual utopia. Although this ending is too beautiful and unrealistic like the photography of this film, it can also be understood as a little compassion left by the director to this cold world. In the end, I really liked this movie. I think that any deprivation of natural rights is a sin, and the Mustang will eventually gallop. , it is a symbol of freedom and may also be the origin of the title of this film.
