Ordinary and so touching family relationships, like most of us' father-son relationships, are so touching and straight to the soul. We grew up in those comic-style fantasies when we were young. Although we didn’t want to grow up, we couldn’t choose whether to grow up or not. One day we would leave our father and face life alone. When he grew up, he was nurtured by knowledge, felt the fresh life in the city, and was exposed to politics, truth and human rights. He betrayed his father's expectations, left his hometown and wanted to make a career and do something for the country, but his efforts were in vain. Intellectuals are caught in the embarrassing situation of whether to return to their hometown or not. In the film, sadik finally returns to the beautiful countryside with a sick body that has always opened the door to himself. It was really a beautiful manor, lovely relatives, kind first love, loving neighbors. . . The father said that if he hugged sadik, or he left, he would not kill her, but the wise aunt said: You cannot keep a man who is determined to leave. When the father wept and said: My son, my grandson; the sadness in the eyes of the parents when taking the family portrait sadik; when the parents were in tears when they saw the childish scenes of the sons in the hand-held camera. . I actually cried, deeply moved. I think children will always be children of their parents, no matter when and where they will always love him.
I don't know if the director really had political metaphorical intentions. But in the film, anarchism, prisons, politics, and journalists are mentioned many times, which makes me feel a little political. Three generations of father and son, three metaphors. Grandpa is stubborn and stubborn, and has a beautiful manor, just like Turkey in the past, closed and backward, but beautiful and warm. The son sadik, who accepted new knowledge, wanted to change the status quo but was persecuted, was like the liberal democratic class in Turkey, who shed blood and sacrificed hard to move forward in the change. grandson deniz is the new hope, sadik wants him to have a room, come and go. He wants deniz to be free to do his own thing.
Whether it is family affection or political metaphors, this film is worth preparing tissues for you to feel the tearful love and warmth between the growing father and son.
