The police, forensic doctors, prosecutors, etc. drove the suspect to the crime scene to find the body, but they did not find it until the next day. The corpse was brutally bound. The police scolded the murderer for why he had to bind the deceased like an animal after killing the murderer. The body was brought back to the police station for an autopsy, and it was found that the victim may have been buried alive, but the forensic doctor covered up the cause of death on the autopsy report. This is the story of this film. It is quite simple to summarize. Even the motive, the process of killing, the background of the deceased, the background of the murderer, and the result of the trial have been eliminated by Ceylon. Everything is only about what happened and said in the past two days. , what happened two days ago is just the past, and these two days will become the past on the third day, the past about the search for the body, the past about the work, the past about Asia Minor. In the end, these past events will become stories, talk, experiences, ideas, and bottom lines.
Rather than seeing it as a suspense about finding the truth, think of it as a workday documentary, where everything comes from these two days, but these two days contain the days and nights of the past. The daily trivial conversation between the driver and the police made the suspect in the back seat very sleepy. This opening paragraph has already told the audience that this is a movie describing the state, with depression, slowness, details, blank space, and the powerful image aesthetics of Ceylon , a wider space, giving people a strong sense of nothingness and mysticism. In this long, anxious, and unknown search, silence and conversation became a way to pass the time and relieve stress. The prosecutor told the forensic doctor about a woman who committed suicide because her husband was cheating on him, and this woman was the prosecutor's wife. This is the presentation of the past at this moment, which enriches the present, and also creates another suspense other than finding the body. Faced with the horrific corpse, the police angrily scolded the murderer, while the prosecutor who dictated the characteristics of the corpse half-jokingly said that the deceased looked like Clark Gable, and when his colleagues praised him as Clark Gable, he secretly smug and smug. The relaxed state of everyone is in sharp contrast to the previous serious atmosphere. This is their job, the joke at the moment is based on the experience of seeing countless corpses in past jobs, there is no "just" gesture and stand, just work. The image of the deceased's son throwing stones at the murderer is exactly the same as that of the tenant's son who threw stones in "Hibernation", and even the eyes of hatred are exactly the same. Ceylon is very sensitive to the breeding and continuation of hatred, especially in this wild land. The deceased's wife looked at her husband's body with restraint and sadness. The true cause of death concealed by the forensic doctor was undoubtedly a well-meaning lie to the deceased's wife.
