The whole film so moved. A slow-paced life, for the "gift" is not blindly obtained but shared with nature.
Only the people of this land can truly understand their surroundings and try to live in harmony with them. The mountain villages of northern Turkey are similar to those in any backward area, and the atmosphere of poverty is so familiar.
My grandmother lived in a mountain village in another province. She visited several times when she was very young. When she grew up, she was busy with her studies and had no time to go. Mama hasn't been back a few times, and always says she can't leave because she's busy. In fact, in addition to worrying about us, she is also worried about affecting her work income and distressing a lot of travel expenses.
It was 6 years ago, when my sister finished her college entrance examination, our sisters decided to go to my grandmother to play and see my grandmother.
The place where grandma lives is not as simple as in the movie, but it is all land, not poured with cement, and there are lights, it is indeed dim and dark. There are only 70+ grandparents living in the "siheyuan" composed of several bungalows. Several children have either settled down in the city or built a building nearby. Only two elderly people still stubbornly live in the same "roots".
At first, I was not used to it. Although Mama had warned my sister and me that the living conditions in my grandmother's house were too poor, and asked us to live at my aunt's house in the city, I still wanted to accompany her. Boldly stayed, there was no bathroom, and I took a bath in the room with water; there was no air conditioner, only a pad fan and a big fan in the "living room"; after the room got wet in the bath, the mud exuded a faint musty smell... I suddenly feel bad for my grandmother.
My grandmother died four years ago. Because it was too far away, when Mama arrived, my grandmother was dead. And 6 years ago was the last time my sister and I saw my grandma. The total number of times we met can be counted on one hand, and thinking about it makes me emotionally sad. That was where Mama lived as a teenager in the same year, and that place used to live with her Mama. When I think of Mama losing her Mama, I can't bear to let it go.
All of the living experience that time, the flickering lights, the thatched hut that went out to the toilet, the Chinese garden dog Ah Huang in the yard, the vast farmland, the rolling mountains and forests, and the grandmother and grandfather tried to provide us with the best feeling. .....seeing this movie all came to my mind. It's a bland film, and after watching it, I also brought myself into the role.
The female protagonist has a yellow dress that basically never changes throughout the year, her vicissitudes of life, her teeth with severe periodontitis, her tightly wrapped headscarf, her murmuring to bees and cats, her beekeeping during the day and her mother chatting at night or in a daze... ...everything becomes pure again, there is no superfluous social interaction, there is no all kinds of modern society. Even if the heroine has no money, beekeeping is the only source of income, but every time there is room to obtain it, so that the water can flow. That is the experience of life over the past few years and the compromise and cooperation necessary to survive in place. And when the nomads come, they just ask for beekeeping in one shot, regardless of the interests of "returning customers", they just want to squeeze the last drop of blood. Like capital, it is all about profit. remembered
In the end, the mother of the heroine passed away. After the people who depended on each other left, half of the souls of the people who were left behind were gone. I was worried that she was only one person, so how would she live? After the community checked that she had other relatives , take a deep breath. When the female mainstream shed tears, it was too good to cry, but fortunately she was optimistic and strong.
There is a pillar in life that is too important, it can be a spiritual pillar such as family members, such as things to look forward to. As long as you feel hope, companionship, and love, life is warm. hope everything will be just fine!
