There is no doubt that what Ceylon wants to express has surpassed his talents.

I watched a groggy film during the Shanghai Film Festival. The friends in the group said that most people would be hypnotized by this film, but I didn’t escape its curse, and fell asleep in the middle of a long conversation. Twice.

(1) Where to pursue the ideal

Sinan had ideals, and even dismissed ordinary teacher exams, as if "I won't review" arrogantly. After hitting a wall many times in seeking sponsorship for the book, he could only appeal to the conversation of the same famous local writer with his anger. The world is indifferent to culture. Even famous writers are gradually becoming impatient. God, what's wrong with the idealistic young people's head? ? They always have too much confusion about life, but will there be answers to these confusions?

He thinks he's unacceptably talented.

But none of his books can be sold.

Should he give up?

(2) Friends who are drifting away

A conversation with a lover and a numbness represents a discussion between young people. The tranquility and stagnation of the countryside have gradually fallen short of the eyes and minds of young people's rapid development. Some people are struggling in the predicament, but most of them have been erased from the edges and have to succumb to fate.

But the heart that longs for freedom and seeks the truth is still there.

No matter how we live, as long as the original intention is still there, our dialogue will go deep into the soul.

(3) The father-son relationship of love and hatred

Like all young people, Sinan is full of incomprehension and disgust for the previous generation. They will never understand the thinking of young people now, nor can they support every decision made by young people. This is the inevitable generation gap between each generation. The consequences.

Why does he want to live like this, so what is the difference between being without dignity and being dead?

Why do you want to marry him? To marry such a man who has no ambition to accomplish nothing?

The ending slowly became warm, his father still laughed his signature, and slowly opened the only book Sinan had sold with both hands. At that moment, it is difficult to distinguish what is hate and what is love. Perhaps family affection is such an existence beyond words.

I very much agree with the statement that Ceylon's films are very literary, and even as a literary work is better than a film expression, because a lot of lines need you to chew and digest.

We are the same as Ye Lishu, "discomfort, loneliness, distortion".

    Vaguely guessing that this is Ceylon's autobiography, it is no wonder that Cannes's short cut proposal was rejected. Filmed in the childhood town of Ceylon, the protagonist is named Ceylon. The roads of the two generations of intellectuals of the father and son unknowingly overlap in the gap, and the cynicism and real sorrow finally turned into a winter fog. The shooting in the first 30 minutes was so beautiful, I thought that Ceylon had changed sex, and then there was a bombardment of metaphysical tuberculosis afterwards:(

    3.5. This is not watching a movie, it's just reading the subtitles, but the lines are really well written, and the color tone of the picture is also very beautiful

The Wild Pear Tree quotes

  • Sinan Karasu: Abuse, sins, crimes. Are you calling them fate now? Disappointments are fate's fault. Successes are our own doing.

  • Sinan Karasu: But no one should consider themselves pure as the driven snow. He may have lost a lot on the horses. His house, car, honour, pride, respectability. But aren't your salaries paid with the ill-gotten gains of horse races or the lottery?
