The movie starts with a splendid scene. Five young girls play together with their male classmates after school. At the seaside, two girls ride on the necks of two boys and play a game similar to "horse riding and fighting". Unleash the endless energy of adolescent children. After returning home, the five girls were called into the room by their grandmother in turn to teach them a lesson. Eventually, the grandmother told them, it was an old lady who sued, arguing that they had been riding on the boy "inappropriately". Open intimacy with boys is considered a sin in this closed-off religious village. Since then, the five girls have been placed under house arrest. They were not allowed to go out to school and play, and were not allowed to have contact with people from the outside world. Because their parents died, no one could rescue them, and their grandmother and uncle became their jailers. The girls had to clean the house every day, learn to cook, and learn from the old man how to be feminine and obedient. The film's tone, lighting and camera shake angles are all very particular, a story with an extremely dark core, but it has always been displayed in a sunny environment. Several girls stood on the window sill and worked hard to wipe the glass. The warm sunlight came in and hit their youthful bodies. The contrast was even more heartbreaking. The "transparent captivity" displayed by glass is also increasingly cruel. When the Turkish female director Denis Aegwin presented the images of several girls, she did everything she could to push the ocean of lust with details. Their appearance, dress, behavior, everything shows the instinct of the flesh, and at the same time, they are also contrasting and opposing the desolation and absurdity of a place of asceticism. The five girls swayed their long loose hair like flags of lust, so alluring and so dangerous in a place where the body had to be wrapped. Moreover, even if they can't go out, they have to put on bright bikinis and pretend to swim at home. When they accidentally escaped the house to watch a ball game, the camera panned slowly over the girls' legs and hips as they slipped through the holes in skinny jeans, and that curve said it all. As bold as they show their bodies, others are so terrified of them. Soon, iron fences were welded outside the windows of the girls. When they were in their puberty, they were arranged to come to their homes to propose marriages, and then they could not choose to marry. Some people resisted, some committed suicide, some gave up on themselves, until finally, the two youngest girls fled together and ran to Istanbul. To a certain extent, "Mustang" also tells a similar story to "Room", in fact, it is even crueler than "Room". After all, that story is still a black and white disaster and crime, and in the captivity story of "Wild Horse", all the castration of human nature is in the name of culture, in the name of love, in the name of purity, in the name of faith, When the perpetrator uses holiness and morality as his shield, all this leaves the victim deeply devastated and no one can save it. In the movie, facing the sane uncle, the girl who tried to make herself and her sister happy one second, then took her uncle's gun and committed suicide the next second. What is the so-called despair? The way the film is written is very clever, and if you look at it as a micro story, it can hold, and if you look at it as a grand fable, it holds true. The uncle represents the power of patriarchy, and the grandmother seems to be full of protective desires for the girls, but in fact it is more ignorant and deep evil. Compared with the violence of men's open flames, the women who are metaphors in this role are self-respecting. The persecution of people of the same gender is even more sad. She uses a "compulsive culture" to tell children that obeying fate is the only and moral choice. If the uncle represents the persecution imposed on the flesh, then the grandmother represents the destruction from within the spirit. "Wild Horse" is a typical work from the perspective of women, but the discussion of rights and freedom goes far beyond women. By the end of the film, it has already extended from the discussion of gender rights to the desire for freedom at the human level . In this film, the performances of those girls are extremely commendable. They interpret the stubbornness and independence that come from their youthful instincts in a very real way. They do not have any slogans, nor do they think of opposing any greater cultural imprisonment. There is nothing more moving than acting on one's instinct for physical freedom and spiritual freedom. When they fled for the first time, standing on the street, wearing canvas shoes and jeans, running to the stadium stand and laughing wantonly, just like girls in the United States and Europe, people all over the world should have such a natural right, Those who take away all this are evil. If there is anything regrettable about the film, perhaps the weakness at the end is the only flaw. those two If there is anything regrettable about the film, perhaps the weakness at the end is the only flaw. those two If there is anything regrettable about the film, perhaps the weakness at the end is the only flaw. those two The way the film is written is very clever, and if you look at it as a micro story, it can hold, and if you look at it as a grand fable, it holds true.
