First of all, I think the Chinese translation is not good enough. For this film, from the perspective of covering the theme, "远方" is not as accurate as the English translation of "Distant". The

reason I like this movie is that the director's " distance" is The expression and description of the elements. I have always believed that a truly good movie must retell and explore the reality of people’s daily lives. Just like photography, we all like movies that capture interesting and moving moments. Not to say Commercial dramas are not good. I think they are also interesting, but they represent another kind of fun. Just as a photographer uses Photoshop to seamlessly attach a sheep’s head to a cow, it is a superficial excitement. We all laugh when we see it, but after we laugh After that, there was almost no room for aftertaste. Back to "distance", this is a word that American film critics like very much, even though their directors don't seem to like to show it to the audience. In fact, how common it is A kind of experience and feeling of, it comes from industrialization, from the progress of society, from the pride of the human heart, etc. All tangible or intangible changes that can set obstacles. For example, the late Antonioni, "a sense of alienation" Deep into the bones of his films, architecture, colors, the behavior of the protagonist, psychological activities, all external or internal are all manifesting this contradiction.

There are many outstanding directors in contemporary Europe, Almodóvar focuses on women; Nanni Moretti focuses on the crisis of masculine temperament ; Fatih Akin pays attention to the impact of different cultures; the only one who deeply studies the essential contradictions of human beings that transcend race and culture, as far as I know it, seems to be only Ceylan (Nuri Ceylan). In his works, he always Projecting this contradiction to all aspects: Istanbul and small towns; men and women; "culture" and "illiteracy"; hard work and idleness, in these differences he shows and explores the distance between people, people and life. We I like Europe not only because they have a long history, a lot of sculptures and buildings, a diverse culture, rock music and football, but also because they care about people and have a human spirit.Ceylon is the expresser of this kind of humanistic care.

Ceylon itself is also an excellent photographer. "Poetic lens language" is Tarkovsky's mark. Ceylon's films have the same characteristics, which is also called "Turkish Tarkovsky". The reason is that he takes movies into photos, and connects photos into movies, so his films always reveal the kind of "pleasant sadness" in the poetry. This sadness is in line with his identity: a director rooted in Turkey, he His country has grown from weak to strong, then prosperous and declining. His works occasionally mention history (in rare cases), but focus on the present and historical changes, forming the temperament of contemporary Turks. Ceylon is in his works Returning all of this to ordinary Turks, making a plain and full expression.
