This film was only watched for the purpose of translating for the Shanghai Film Festival. The first time I ran away directly, I felt nagging and nagging couldn't grasp the main line. Later, I read it while translating, and the more I looked at it, the more it tasted, I just couldn't stop it. After graduating from college and returning to his hometown, the protagonist looked down on his father who had a history of gambling, looked down on his mother who fell in love with such a father, and looked down on the best-selling author. He was confident in his ultra-modern stream-of-consciousness novels. Prepare for the teacher qualification exam. So lofty, talking about mystery, crushing high school classmates but not daring to speak, despising his father but stealing his beloved hound. All kinds of words and deeds are full of sense of sight, and my knees feel almost shot through...
However, his father was also a generation of aspiring young people, he was also full of enthusiasm, and he also praised the snow-white lamb and the breath of the earth. What turned him into this obsessive gambling, he couldn't lift his head in front of his family, but could only smile with embarrassment. Where is the man who covers his face? Although the film was shot in a Turkish family, the universality of human nature makes the film's appeal beyond national borders.
However, on the one hand, my own level of translation is limited, and on the other hand, it is inevitable to lose a lot of information when switching from Turkey to English and then to Chinese. The final result is considered to be unsatisfactory and there is a suspicion of excessive boasting. If the audience experience of the Shanghai Film Festival is not good, this is due to my poor translation level. The film itself is very good. In addition, I also hope that an excellent translator can provide a better translation version.
