Watching this film, I am a little ashamed to say that I really like this kind of film that reveals the philosophy of life in a straightforward manner, but I still fell asleep three times and interrupted three times in 3 hours, but I do like the film, maybe the film's The rhythm is indeed slow, filled with a lot of long shots, fixed shots, and dialogues of characters. Even if you like it, you will inevitably feel sleepy, but after reading it, it will fill your heart. The gap between ideal and reality that Ceylon faces in the film, his tense relationship with his father, and his contempt for his father, but his father always treats him lovingly. Ceylon stands on his own position and accuses his father selfishly. , thinks that his father has lost their face and the respect of others when he was young. The director's own name is also Ceylon, so the film's Ceylon is a reflection of the director himself when he was young. After hitting the wall with reality again and again, it is even more impossible to confirm the meaning of its own existence.
First of all, the main line of the film is that Ceylon wanted to publish something similar to a personal memoir, that is, a kind of memory and record of his hometown, which is a personal autobiography. He went to the mayor for the first time. The mayor said that publishing a book was a small sum of money, but Ceylon's book is not a travel guide book or a book commemorating the war remnants of a small town, so there is no social value. The second time Ceylon went to a sand producer, the sand boss refused to publish "Wild Pear Tree" for Ceylon, and told Ceylon that he had not graduated from high school and was still living well. The corners of Lan's mouth showed the usual disdain and ridicule. The boss of the battlefield thought that what Ceylon did was meaningless, and it was better to find a job to do it. Ceylon thought it was meaningful and what he wanted to do. But there is an irreconcilable contradiction in reality, the contradiction between ideal and reality. He has just graduated from the University of Ceylon, and he has no job, which means that he has no source of survival. The financial embarrassment of the family cannot help him, and his father even owes a large amount of money. A gambling debt is waiting for the family to repay, so although publishing this book and making myself a writer is the ideal of Ceylon, the reality is cruel. Even if he published a book later, no one cares about it in the bookstore, but instead It was his father, who had always looked down on him, who had always treasured the reports of his publications and read his works carefully. This is also the reconciliation of the main line and the sub-line, and Ceylon finally reached a reconciliation with his father at the end.
The secondary line is the relationship between Ceylon and his father and the people around him. Ceylon's father was a primary school teacher, but later he got into the bad habit of gambling. The family economy was also dragged down by his father. The mother kept complaining about his father, and Ceylon He can also meet his father's creditor every time he goes home. He feels very ashamed. His father has lost face of the family, so he despises his father from the bottom of his heart. Every conversation with his father is full of sarcasm and irony. The role of a father has gone through the world, but still maintains the innocence. When my father was digging a well with Ceylon and Grandpa Ceylon, my father saw a little frog jumping to catch him, which angered my grandfather, and my grandfather said that my back hurts. They are all helping you dig wells. What are you doing? After saying that, Grandpa Ceylon walked away angrily, but his father was neither angry nor happy. He was still pretending not to care about the unhappiness caused to the people around him like a child. His sarcasm he was never angry or ashamed of his gambling behavior, nor was it indifferent, life went on as usual, as if nothing was a big deal to him, Ceylon mother often complained about Ceylon father's gambling addiction in front of her children, But when Ceylon criticizes her father in front of her mother, her mother will stop Ceylon from criticizing her father, telling him that no matter how bad that person is, he will be the one for you to finish college, even if you give her another chance to choose marriage, She would still choose Ceylon father, because she said that when everyone was young, when everyone was talking about material money, Ceylon father was talking about the earth, soil, lambs, these simple things, so the young Ceylon father was also A replica of Ceylon, but he still maintains the pure and kindness in his heart. Ceylon itself has a lot of confusion, and it seems to exist and does not exist in the surrounding people.
After watching the film, I still don't know who the director is. I remembered "Hibernation" and "Distant" that I watched in a year or four. It really is the work of Nuribig Ceylan. His works have traces of the author's style. Obviously, the literary content and lines, and the philosophical discussion of life, although the film is long, but the content of the film is calm and the scenery is beautiful, which makes people's hearts and spirits full and comfortable. At the same time, I can think about many philosophies in life.
