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".

The Wild Pear Tree quotes

  • Sinan Karasu: Nobody's more dependable than a person who's alone with his conscience and free will. Because he builds this responsibility, he doesn't receive it. So he must undertake all the consequences of his acts.

    Imam Veysel: Who says free will is free? Even if it was, how could you trust it?

    Sinan Karasu: It's not for everyone. Isn't that why people without the courage choose servitude over existence?

    Imam Veysel: All rivers are born as furious waterfalls but grow calm on their way to the sea. But your raging rivers drag along lots of pebbles and sticks, too.

    Sinan Karasu: Just like strong characters drag underdogs and losers with them?

  • Imam Nazmi: Someone wrote that if the truth was proven to be outside Islam, he'd rather choose Islam than the truth.

    Sinan Karasu: Which proves the famous argument that faith is wanting not to know the truth.
