The three monkeys represent not seeing, not listening, and not speaking. But if you don't see it, it doesn't mean you can't see it, if you don't listen, it doesn't mean you can't hear it, and if you don't speak, it doesn't mean your heart has stopped beating. The three monkeys together represent a dead silent world, which is the silent majority of what Wang Xiaobo said. The Turkish director uses a poor and humble family of three to outline a real world that we cannot escape. For those who are increasingly numb and unwilling to watch/listen/talk, he will force you to watch, force you to listen, and force you to listen. Think about it, although he is a Western director, his pictures are oriental sketches. He often uses silent trees, clouds, and thorny grass to replace people's inner emotions. He uses a pair of eyes that contain the vicissitudes of life. replace human language.
it is more than words. Whether it is the father or the last tramp, they silently accept the helpless and sad fate imposed on them by the reality. The wife/mother simply actively pursues the boss who represents power, but she doesn't know that she is just a dessert after the other party's lunch. Once she tastes it, she becomes a lowly woman who is despised and hated. Her self-indulgent humiliation is exposed by the cruel and almost cruel picture, but even so, as one of the viewers, I have no way to criticize her. The clearest impression left in my heart is still her tender and submissive love for her son. Compared with her husband who is still able to support herself, her fate is even more humble like a withered grass that has been blown up and down by the wind.
Compared with the weather-beaten parents, the son's play symbolizes a kind of suppressed anger. He feels sorry for his father who is in prison for his family, and he hates the mother who betrayed his father. All these are written in his deep and precocious eyes. in the light. However, despite the anger of the youth, there is still no voice or language. From start to finish, he moves like a blind wild car that has lost its steering wheel. Until one day I was exhausted. Like most parents, the fate of young people is still uncontrollable and uncontrollable.
In the struggle for the fate of a family of three, they were also secretly wearing a water-drenched child from another world. The first time he appeared, he called out to his elder brother who was sinking into grief. The second time, he put his little hand on his father's shoulder. In the movie, he always appeared when his father and elder brother were the saddest and helpless. The sound was always beating on the hearts of father and brother, which seemed to be the only comfort in the hearts of the two men in the family. The photo that appeared in the frame at the end of the movie, the young father and a pair of brothers who were still in childhood smiled so brightly at the camera (the only woman here is absent), the director is here to remind us quietly that this family has happened It's been a tragedy.
There is a scene in which the father searches for the final escape for his son in the middle of the night. The lights in the middle of the night are strangely bright, and the whole street is covered with an inhuman color. Cat, the world that has lost its sound and color, on the other side of the light, is the endless night.
