The name of "Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor" is like a cup of tea, and adding the name of Ceylon is like sitting by the fire and listening to his stories while drinking tea. Sound and photography, an immersive experience. Past events are the title, full of warmth and legend, telling a history, a period and an era. "Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor", a wild story on the road in Anatolia, and such a story, each party involved in the event has one.
Anatolia is to Ceylon what Mexico City is to Alfonso Cuarón. The lens is also focused on the hometown of childhood. The difference is that Cuaron's lens is more delicate, Ceylon is more cold, large scenes, mountains and towns, and roads in the wasteland. It is also a still life shooting. Alfonso has astronauts, balconies, cars, toys, and Ceylon has houses, woods, distant mountains, and springs.
The first half is art appreciation, wild houses, foggy windows, night scenes, high beam searchlights, and corpses on the road, full of suspense. The second half is mainly to watch the play, everyone is a play. There are also sound effects, thunder, rain, wind and water, all very wonderful.
This is a story of police officers, doctors, prosecutors and criminals. Criminals kill people, and teams of police, doctors and prosecutors set out to find the bodies. Because of the criminal's drunkenness on the day of the incident and the personal cover-up of the truth, the process of finding the body was twists and turns. Several people began to talk to each other, and the stories were told one by one.
In the middle of the night before the body was found, it suddenly started to rain, and the doctor read a poem casually. It rained for a hundred years, but nothing changed. Human nature seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, the truth is blurred, and people are exhausted in it. Seeing through but not revealing, prosecutors say the mysterious death of a friend's wife, the police comforting his wife and children, going out to work to take a breath, the prisoner's lies, and the doctor's cover-up of the autopsy report.
During the whole process of searching for the corpse, the police kept complaining about their work in the middle of the night , the prosecutors were unhappy about smoking, arguing about who was more knowledgeable about solid yogurt, disliked the officers, and talked about their wives and children.
The doctor mainly listens and observes, and is the most sober person. He can recite poems and sublime them. He not only acts as an audience and witness for everyone, but also provides prescriptions and autopsy reports. From time to time, he will throw two sentences of soul torture to the prosecutor. The doctor will only look at the old photos when a person returns to the residence, remember the past, and then throw the photos away to see the black cat hiding in the bottom of the trash can outside the window.
The prosecutor commands, thinks, and then chats with the doctor, saying his perception of life, his summary of crime and human nature, his duty is to question, but sometimes he does not question, for example, the death of his friend's wife in his mouth, creating suspense and another Want to cover up.
As for the criminal, he didn't seem to get enough sleep all the way, and he seemed to be still in drunken chaos, but in fact he already knew it . Lighting the illusion that Asa is not dead, let the emotional out of control say that he killed Asa's criminal No. 2 Ramazan to shut up. The reason and truth of the murder were covered with a veil.
At the beginning of the movie, three people were drinking and eating in a house in the wilderness. A big man grabbed something to eat with a plate, walked to the window to look outside, and went out to feed the dog. Except for a yellow street light at the house and the doorway, it was dark and silent. The screen suddenly switched. The big man among the three died, and the other two became suspects and were arrested and headed to the hiding place. The place where the body was buried was guarded by the dog that the big man went out to feed. The three good buddies persecuted each other, and in the end, only one dog remained loyal to guard, and the absurd and strange reality was blowing.
A section of rolling apples makes people watch with relish. The criminal Conan led the crowd to another wrong place to hide the corpse. It was a forest. The prosecutor and the doctor stood on a high place and talked. The wind blew the leaves and the two rolled up their coats.
The driver and the police next to him were picking apples. The apples rolled on the ground. One of them rolled down and rolled into the small river. It drifted along the river, got stuck for a while, and then continued to drift forward. Apple where will it go? What obstacles will be encountered? Where will it end up? There are also some apples where the apples roll all the way, good ones, rotten ones, stuck ones, and round ones. The voice of people speaking is used as the background sound, never sleepless.
In the middle of the night after the body was found, everyone came to the mayor's house. After eating and drinking tea, the mayor vomited quickly. From the eldest son to the youngest daughter, he concluded that the family was doing just fine, but the town still needed help. I hope the prosecutor and everyone can help clear the procedure and distribute assistance. In the dark night, beside the window, outside the house, quiet night thinking. The mayor's little daughter lit the lamp and walked out of the darkness, as if the goddess had descended. Everyone held their breaths and took the tea. The soul seemed to be comforted and aroused the idea of beauty. Missing, guilty or just bored, the town's daughter undoubtedly brought a light to this weary group.
On the second day of the trip, there was fog, rain and dew on the car windows. Everyone looked sluggish and had their own thoughts. Conan was a criminal and wanted to smoke a cigarette. The doctor helped him to be stopped by the police. Conan quietly said thank you to the doctor when he got in the car. Human nature is complex and multi-faceted, the doctor turned his head and looked out the window.
The story has two moments that come close to the truth. Once when the corpse was found, Ramazan saw that the corpse was out of control and cried out that he had killed Asa, and Conan told Ramazan to shut up. The second is at the end of the story, when doctors and assistants found sludge in the victim's lungs and esophagus during an autopsy. The doctor checked it carefully and stopped for a while. The recorder asked the doctor how to write the report here? The doctor answered that no abnormality was found in the soft tissue of the esophagus of the lungs. The autopsy continued, with blood splattered on the doctor's face.
The doctor went to the window, the victim's child and wife were walking back, the students of the school next to them were playing, a ball was kicked from the playground to a high place, and the child immediately ran back to help pick up the ball . Doubt, panic and anger coexist. The doctor watched all this silently from behind the window, just as he observed the black cat under the trash can downstairs before. The torrent of life rolled over, the black cat got under the trash can, piles of yellow leaves, and black trash bags blown by the wind rolled over from above, as black as the wild cat. Blood stains mark the doctor's face.
