Encountered on the other side of life

What is the other side of life? What is left for us?

Older young people like me are mostly busy with their livelihoods. Boys have long ceased to pursue romance like a splendid snow moon, and gradually face reality, learn to look directly at life, learn to think about the future, beautiful long-cherished wishes, and hide in the cage of reality, Honest and bland.

Who cares about the acquaintance and acquaintance of people, everything is drawn by simple substances, I have always been excited to meet strangers in a city, I look forward to such encounters, encounters because I think it is beautiful, I also firmly believe This is the beginning of a story. Traditionally, we have given it a definition, fate.

However, every time they walk through the streets, the bustling and rush of the city in front of them has no trace of vitality. People walk with their heads buried in the quarrels of cellphones. There are not many lovers who either appreciate their own scenery or confront each other with suspicion. His eyes strongly prove that the fairy tale in love is just a nihilistic landscape. Standing on the cross street, watching, thinking, like such a name "On the other side of life".

Perhaps, sensitive and vulnerable people will sometimes spy on their past, face the mirror, and look at the real and at a loss. Such questions will naturally be mentioned again and again.

On the other side of life, what exists and what remains? Isn't the real life what we expect? Is the subject of life always hiding something that we can't let go of? Where is the source of emotion and belief, struggle and resistance? I thought a lot, but I was still powerless to find the answers I needed to convince myself.

Let's go back to the movie or the story to ask for reasons that may convince yourself! "On the Other Side of Life" tells the story of tolerance and understanding between six people, fragile emotions, which seem to be things we have to interpret and think about. The story takes place between Germany and Turkey. Nayatt, a philosophy professor, vehemently opposes his widower father living with the prostitute Yett. In an accidental opportunity, Niyat found out that Yate sent all the money he earned back to Turkey to help his daughter go to school. Niyat changed his original view. But Yeat's sudden death caused a huge estrangement between father and son, and Naiyat decided to go to Turkey to find Yeat's daughter, Aito. Little did he know that Aiteng, a political radical, had already fled to Germany in order to avoid the Turkish authorities. In Germany, she met Lotta, and the two hit it off. Lotta invited Eiteng to take refuge in her home, which made Lotta's conservative mother very dissatisfied. In the end, Eiteng was unfortunately arrested and sent back to a Turkish prison. Lotta also came to Turkey, running around to rescue Eiteng, but everything seems to be hopeless, and the accident will come to Lotta again... The ending of the story, I still hope to leave the individual souls who are willing to devote themselves to emotional viewing. I think in this way, everything I say will resonate, and the different voices of these individual souls will be heard and together to find the answers to our concerns.

Regarding "On the Other Side of Life", in addition to the film proposition extended by the story, the intricate character relationships, the delicate and gentle emotional depiction, the choice of fate and the subtle traction are beyond our expectations. From the director's point of view, the film has a strong right to speak. Regarding the depiction of Turkish descendants in Germany, what we see is not an unfounded assumption, but the real existence of the market class, middle class, peers, and different encounters in different environments. All of them are intended to emphasize something that we don't complain about, the slightly documentary parade, and the radical dialogue with another class, all foreshadowing the behavior that the world has been escaping and hiding. But this is not something we deliberately want to say. We are still concerned about people, this fragile individual, helpless and uneasy when facing the world.

Those who fought for life died, and those who fought for freedom became radicals of the rebellion. It is difficult to determine whether everything is true or not, whether the city is beautiful or numb after sadness.

We learn to be tolerant, because what has been lost can never be regained, and we force a smile, because our fragile emotions may burst without warning, and it will be a thousand miles away.

Two mothers, a father, a scholar, a soul in need of freedom, an individual who proves existence, shows us the other side of life.

What's on the other side?

I think everyone's results will not be the same, but in such a process, perhaps, we will be connected to each other. Because when we seek the other side of life, we will always meet unexpectedly in this real life.
