There is a generation gap in communication.

Turkey's "Hibernation"

In the winter, when the poor village is sparsely populated, Aydin is a rich hotel owner and an old actor. He likes to write commentary articles in local media supplements, to build a sense of existence, and to live in a warm cave-like house with his young and beautiful wife and sister who has left her alcoholic husband.

Here, the differences in values ​​and morals between people of different classes and statuses make it difficult for everyone to communicate, and each cannot understand the other's thoughts. This leads to various conflicts that can never be resolved. The journey also includes people from different regions and nationalities who come here with different cultures, different values ​​and moral systems. They are optimistic, energetic and passionate. After they left, it was even colder here, and it snowed heavily.

At first, Aydin seemed to have no idea what it was like to hurt someone. Stand tall and look down on others with the same attitude. Just like the topic he discussed with his sister and wife: Do you need to resist if the bad guy hurts you, the sister and wife think: the bad guy will feel remorse and become kind after hurting others, but Aydin thinks that he must resist. The desire for control overwhelmed his opinions and words. His values ​​look like a good man in front of everyone.

1. He said that money is not important, and he also said that he did not need slippers, but the glass was originally 70, and later he said 170 unabashedly. He knows that he has no money, and he is not short of it, but for him, it's casual.

2. The wife organizes donation activities for the school, and she doesn't care, but she is also dry and suspicious. In the end, it was also to convince yourself that you did not lose your heart and donated a sum of money. Finally, in the conversation with the teacher, he also said that he often donates money anonymously.

3. Can't allow others to say that he did something wrong, criticize his attitude, ask others about his own ideas, can he say that he did something wrong?

4. Commenting on beliefs is an act of ignorance. In a world where food and clothing cannot be satisfied, apart from relying on faith to keep them with goodwill, they will not hurt others. What else could have kept them alive in such an environment.

These ideas all come from his wealthy living condition. False character. Tell people that he is writing a book, the history of Turkish drama, that it is almost finished, and it is almost written. People say: It's hard to start. He actually didn't even start writing until the end of the film.

And the wife is a really kind person.

She believes that bad people will feel remorse and become kind after hurting others.

It turns out that everyone was wrong. It seems that he is slowly convincing himself that when his wife quietly sends money to the alcoholic's house, this person has already made a mistake. Not only does he have no sense of repentance, he doesn't know how to be grateful, and some are just suspicious, contempt, misinterpreted goodwill, throwing the money into the fire to burn (I couldn't help but scold him at the time, stupid, looking at the camera that shot him upside down, he was speechless Want to beat him) The human heart is like this cold world, when you touch it, the feedback is only biting damage, and at the same time, it can be seen that it affects the next generation. Always rude...

After Aydin shot and killed a weak and completely defenseless rabbit. The bunny was lying in the snow, his life was at stake, and I could feel the harm Aydin had done to him.

A hard-working young man who made him lose money and went a long way to come to him to apologize. See the village wrapped in snow. Refugees with nowhere to go, deer frozen to death by the roadside. The horse that was strangled by him at first, he let go, until he saw the rabbit struggling on the ground killed by himself. Aydin was transformed.

The whole story has also been answered, both he and his wife seem to understand each other, but in this icy world, The last overhead shot is even more ingenious. Aydin stands in a yard full of snow, which not only expresses his loneliness, but also changes the visual experience of the characters in his entire flat shot from the front. He patted his wife upside down. Aydin completely put down his posture, just like Aydin's inner monologue, through the glass, the two seemed to have understood and communicated when they looked at each other.

    The estrangement between people, like the Tower of Babel, is insoluble. It's not just the class contradiction created by the gap between the local rich and the poor. Two people in the same family are each other's purgatory... After watching "Hibernation", when the subtitles appeared, I realized that the movie itself is better than the title and the weather depicted in it. To be even more chilling, if you can be sucked into a large part of the debate and dialogue for more than three hours, it will not feel long.

    Cracks in marriage, class contradictions, self-confusion, idleness in life, in this scorching world, the poor live with dignity, but the rich live in shame. The miserable people pray for a new pattern, but the wealthy people stick to the old rules. Having watched the film three times on and off, it's hard for me at my age to see and understand something deeper. ★★★★

Winter Sleep quotes

  • Aydin: Justice doesn't even exist in nature, why should it exist here?

  • Aydin: [Epilogue] Nihal, I didn't go away. I couldn't. Whether it's because I've grown old, or I've gone mad, or because I've become a different man, think what you like. I just don't know. But this new man inside me for a few days won't let me go away. Please, don't ask me to go either. I now understand nothing is calling me to Istanbul. Everything is alien to me there as it is everywhere else. I want you to know that I have no one but you. And I miss you every minute, every second that goes by. But my pride will never let me tell you this. I know very well how to terrible or impossible it would be to part from you. Just as I know that you do not love me anymore. I know we can't go back to the old days. And there is no need to. Take me with you like a servant, like a slave. And let us continue our life even if we do it your way. Forgive me.
