Movies are like this. There is no conventional theory or system that can eternally spread to the death of the movie. When a routine is applied to the peak to be close to the truth, there will inevitably be some filmmakers who strive to break through this routine, such as Nuri Bilge Ceylan. According to incomplete records, Nuri Bilge Ceylan studied electrical engineering at the University. Like many masters, he became famous by making movies. After that, Ceylan spent a year of aimless and unhappy life in London: working as a waiter in a restaurant, going to a small bookstore to read books, and watching movies every day. The turning point was that during his military service, Ceylan read a Polish director. After Roman Polanski's autobiography, he retired and went to London and Istanbul to study film. The creative impulse prompted Ceylan to leave the campus in his second year of university and begin to integrate into the film industry as a photographer. For a long time, Ceylan has independently produced small-cost movies and has several roles, including actors, who are mostly non-professionals. Among them, I was impressed by the starring role of "The Far Place", Ceylan's nephew, after the filming of "The Far Place" die young. "Remote" is not the kind of movie that you will love once you watch it. "Remote" is more like a new folk album, which plays the emotion you need most at a specific time. "Three Monkeys" aggravated the impact and destruction of this particular emotion on the basis of the distance.
Regarding the plot of "Three Monkeys", there is no need to repeat it. A simple and empty story, similar to "The Far Place", is the kind of big city where one or two people living in a cold-colored house meet in ordinary life. A few things. The highlight of Ceylan's movie is also here: cool colors, one or two people, the house, the ordinary. Probably because of the origin of the photographer, Ceylan's film color and picture composition are so lomo, like photos taken by a film camera in a darkroom, and the use of this characteristic has reached a paranoid extreme. The height is similar to the 2007 Swedish movie "You Living". One or two people, whether it's the 2 people who broke through the movie in "The Far Place", or the cross-infection of 4 or 5 people in "Three Monkeys", Ceylan obviously rejects group dramas and messy character structures. The room, in a small room that looks not much taller than a human, Ceylan applied various shots to the point of perfection. The depth of field, close-ups, and long shots are so eye-catching in Ceylan's movies. . Ordinary is not only about the story, but also about the characters, but also about the picture. The ordinary of the picture lies in the blur of color, the blur of time flow, and the blur of space. If you watch carefully enough, the more amazing charm lies in the lack of montages and motion shots. The 6-second freeze frame and the sense of motion are completely abandoned in this movie. This breaking convention is not the first time I have seen it on the screen, but it is definitely It is the first time that people realize that this is a trait.
After watching "Three Monkeys", lying on the bed, I happened to see a hanging piece hanging beside the bed: Three Monkeys woodcut. This was a gift given to me by a monk last year. At that time, the master told me Three sentences: You just graduated and you go out to work. There is nothing to help you. There is only one piece of advice: "Look less, listen less, talk less". Later, when I checked the information, I learned that the meaning of the film's name comes from Japanese Buddhism, which is summarized as: "Don't watch, don't listen, don't talk." Thinking of this, I smiled, as if I understood the meaning of the plot of this movie. I understand but I can’t find a suitable text to comment. When I was tangled, I saw a paragraph of text, and the narrative was so ruthless. I specifically quoted this to conclude: "The woman's proud gesture at first was ironic enough, and afterwards she didn't care about the man. Silence pretending to be B to her husband is stupid and cheap. The two appearances of the younger brother are illusions. The first time the husband sees her trying to jump off the building is also an illusion. Then he retreats against the wall, struggling with the hum of the train, struggling with contradictions. Khanlai (previous son was also sweaty) used her word to learn about his son’s circle of friends, and then fought the slightly exaggerated face with scratches and blood to draw his mother’s mouth to "be him", The layers are not obtrusive. At the end of the night, when my husband came downstairs in the night, it was unusually quiet for a few minutes. I was afraid that the woman was so afraid that she fell down until the cat turned around. I overestimated her. The location was very good. The close-up of the facial expression is in place."
