After watching "Three Monkeys", someone asked me what style of film it was, and I blurted out that this is a film with a strong plot, and it fell into a cliché because it was too rigid about the event itself. The film has a complete structure, with a loop at the beginning and end, which coincides with the cycle of life. It's a film with such clear pros and cons. Because the director is a photographer, his composition, color, and the relationship between background and background are well handled, and he is also good at using images to create atmosphere, but the plot setting and character performance are too general.
While exploring the changes in the relationship of ordinary Turkish families after the accident, the film revealed the loopholes in the Turkish social law-the crime of buying people is also common. It is necessary to recount the plot here, because the plot is the failure of the film, and it is also the part that the director tries to express but is unable to complete. The film focuses on a low-level family in Turkey. The husband was bought by the boss and was jailed for the crime; the wife was attracted by the boss to beg for money and became her temporary lover; the son witnessed his mother's adultery, and his relationship with his mother appeared. Cracks; after the husband came back, he discovered the secret between his wife and the boss, but he didn't know that the boss had long ago disliked his wife, and she was still struggling. The boss died unexpectedly and the driver's wife became a suspect. When the relationship between the couple was difficult to heal, the son confessed to the two that he killed the boss after witnessing his mother begging. The driver calmly put his son to sleep, he walked out of the house, all the audience thought that history would repeat itself, he would go to the police station to take the blame for his son, but the audience guessed only half right, he learned the boss's trick, in exchange for nine months in prison Hard work makes poorer people take the blame for their own sons. Another son in this family who died early, the reason for his early death is unknown, and it has become a secret that cannot be told deep within the family, and it is also the only hope and illusion when everyone is afraid of reality. It can be seen from the story of the film that the relationship between the characters is too cliché, and the plot points are very common. The plot in the middle of the film is loose, and the part where the wife pesters the boss is especially exaggerated.
But the director's many foreshadowings are worthy of admiration: one is the fearful child who appeared in the hallucinations of the son and his father, and later learned that it was their untimely brother and another child, and it was also the deep trauma of the family; The ringtone of the wife's mobile phone has always been closely related to the character; the third is the part of the wife begging the boss at the beach, which means that the other person's sight, and later learned that it was the son who was secretly peeping, and then murdered and started to kill; The loop setting of the plot sold off the scapegoat and replaced the scapegoat at the beginning of the film with the one who bought the scapegoat.
The advantages of the film make people unable to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the image, and they feel that this is a masterpiece, but the cliché and old-fashioned parts of the film make people doubt the director's comprehensive ability.
