Mustang without rein

At the end of the movie, the two youngest girls found their teachers in Istanbul and escaped the fate of being bound by marriage. The quiet and beautiful morning in Istanbul has sprinkled golden hope for the girls' new life. I like this ending, the Mustang will eventually be free, and life will gradually change for the better.

The five young girls are locked in their home in Mid-Levels, and they are also invisibly constrained by the so-called religious etiquette. The eldest sister married someone she likes, and the second sister can only be forced to accept the arrangement of the elders. The wedding of the two was held on the same day, and joy and loneliness were intertwined. The eldest sister's resistance came from a secret promise within the rules, "I have sex with the whole world", and the second sister's resistance stopped in silent shouts and strong hymen. The brutal and authoritarian uncle's violation of the third sister is obvious, and the third sister finally fights against her destiny by suicide. The fourth sister was expressionless, as if she had accepted the fate's arrangement helplessly, but who knew if the flame of resistance in her heart was still burning. The smartest little girl, secretly learning to drive, surveying routes, and finally shut her family out on the fourth sister's wedding day. What a mockery, it symbolizes that the home of the cage has become a harbor for the two sisters to escape the shackles temporarily, and the way to gain freedom is to lock themselves in it. If the film stopped abruptly when my uncle broke in, it would be unintentional to hit the bottom of my heart with a heavy hammer. The foreseeable tragedy would surely make me unable to eat and sleep all day. Fortunately, with the help of the truck driver's brother, the two managed to escape. I like this ending. Although it loses its strength, it gives people a fairytale hope and light.

The tragedy in the world is no better than a fool who destroys the United States. The film is extremely beautiful, under the bright colors, the young girl blooms like flowers, and the long flying hair is like a wild horse galloping in the wind. The sisters sneaked out to watch the football game, and they were extremely cheerful, like an American youth movie. Compared with the five sisters with distinct personalities, the men who went on blind date with them in the film are all blurred, and it is inevitable that in the next twenty years they will be arbitrary and bossy, middle-aged men like uncles. The driver of the truck is undoubtedly the most handsome man in the film. From driving the sisters to chase the bus, teaching the younger sister to drive, and finally sending the sisters to the bus in Istanbul, the wind blows your hair and brushes your smile. It was as if an angel fell into the world, as if a prince riding a white horse came to rescue the princess.

The debut work of Turkish female director Tinis Aegwynn is amazing. There are many details in the film, and the scenes are full of emotion and delicate and moving. Under Turkey's relatively open appearance, discrimination and oppression of women still exist, which is so similar to ours. Seeing such news, we often lament the ignorance of human nature. But the process of becoming smarter is probably extremely slow. We are not much smarter than the people of a century. What changes is society, education, and system innovation. That's why we need the women's equal rights movement, the homosexual rights movement, and all the calls and actions to make society more equal and the system more advanced.

May the Mustang be without rein one day.
