The world is cruel

Ceylon in the film is the epitome of every man who tries to resist the world.

When I was young, I stabbed everything with all the sharp knives, questioning and destroying happiness and beauty. Going alone, asking what the hell is going on in this world?

Not always.

The world is still that fucking world. The once rebellious and reckless teenager did not reconcile with the world, but he mustered the courage to accept his mediocrity. It is a process of losing yourself and finding yourself.

The main character's living environment is bad. Living in a poor family, father betting on horses, graduating from college without a job, having books rejected, and the country in turmoil. He doesn't believe in the place where he grew up, he is bored here, and the sense of depravity fills here, but he has a noble literary dream in his heart, he doubts family affection, love, and his own beliefs and dreams. This series of doubts is almost always shown to the audience by the director in the form of dialogue. Especially after the verbal confrontation with the literary writer, he threw the naked severed hand of the beautiful woman behind him into the river, vented his anger, and smashed the holy place in his heart with his own hands.

Many of the director's shots are uncomfortable to watch. The shaking of the leaves and the choice of light and shadow, coupled with the rustling wind, made the two people's desire to get closer and closer to the film very boring; the close-up slow close-up of the male protagonist leaning against the door frame gives people a sense of cramping and oppression; When the sun shines, the viewer will be stinged by the sudden light.

Among them, the most meaningful is the lens about ants. The sleeping baby's face covered with ants corresponds to the father's face covered with ants when he fell to sleep. Using the baby's intentions, Ceylon showed that Ceylon saw his father's frailty and unbearableness. After thinking that his father had died under the tree, he turned back again, just like this time when he decided to see his father, he was still soft-hearted.

At the end of the film, Ceylon goes to dig a well. Every time I scratched it, it was a remorse for my past recklessness.

There is no way. When I was young, I hated everything that exists in this world. Only when I was alive did I know that the most comfortable and wonderful way to live is to accept myself and identify with myself.

We are vulnerable sometimes really can not resist the world.

    The top ten of the year, the treatment of "Hibernation" should be replaced with this one, the 2018 Palme d'Or in my heart. In contrast to Li Cangdong's anger turned into anarchist nihility and desolation, this piece of Taoism shows a young man's helpless confusion and sighing in the face of countless problems in the world, almost a boxing heart. I believe that many people who have come out of the Chinese countryside are unwilling to live a rigid life. friends will resonate more. Gelan's mastery lies in using the life dilemma and mutual understanding of a father and son to show how the intellectual class in Turkey was slowly tortured to the point of being humble and unresisted, and, following Erdogan's style, he used administrative means to covertly oppose it. Secularization, opposition to ignorance, and opposition to mavericks are the deepest causes of this generation's tragedy. The future teachers being drawn to become special police officers are only the compromises that countless young people in Turkey will eventually face. Jie Lan was not satisfied, and questioned the business circles, the literary circles (similar to Pamuk's writers), the clergy, and the petty citizens. His anger and refutation are based on the world and reality, rather than continuing to hide behind Chekov. As the nagging of a successful person, life is like digging a well and never stops.

    The filming is so good, pure, and clean... If nothing else, it can basically be placed in the best position of the year. The father-son movie is probably the best one I have seen in so many years, and the good places are not only In the part of father and son dramas, I always feel that I have filmed so many films. Ceylon's shots have never left that land, and I am always wondering whether the next film will be let go because of the "community" in the temperament or the "poor technique" of the method. People are disappointed, but this one completely dispels this worry; the two homecomings at the beginning and the end, quarrels with local writers, kissing under a tree with a playmate who is about to marry, biting his lip, and many trances. The dreams of life, the long talks with his mother on the topic of parents’ marriage, the friendship with his father on the topic of Ye Lishu... are actually just countless embellishments worthy of consideration in the movie. At the end, the father looks down on the scene of sinking a well under the camera. It is a stroke that really opens up the lifeblood of the film. Looking at the shadows world, at Ceylon’s age, he is probably one of the few directors who can make progress even after climbing to the highest peak. He is even more stable than the one who got the Palme d’Or this year, Hirowa Kee. At least this persistence and innocence are true. It's hard not to be moving.
