The first film in 2022, "Isn't it good to see it as an opportunity for epiphany?" From the very beginning, Ceylon sat in front of the glass reflecting the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and the sound of seagulls lingered in the ears, and a shot has already entered the film of Ceylon The world is really delicate and universal. The subtlety of the dialogue between relationships, intentional or unintentional external influences, wind blowing, grass moving, lights shaking, doors swinging, flies chirping, these ineffable things are controlled by Ceylon. The dialogue is very interesting. The dialogue scenes between Ceylon and the girl, the writer, the man who has lost love, and the father are particularly interesting. The three chat scenes, followed silently by the camera, seem boring and boring, but it actually shows why Ceylon is Will be out of place, cynical, the change in the relationship between father and son, neither sensational nor deliberate, both are living people, the last scene, the scene changes, Ceylon commits suicide in the well, a surreal, like some kind of In the sense of self-ending, saying goodbye to one's own dreams, but in fact, they are still digging hard in the well that cannot be dug out of water, just like being trapped in the predicament of youthful ideals. For some people, hanging in the well is already enough. It is the end, otherwise, continue to dig wells. For parents, family, and town, it is a complex emotion that wants to escape but cannot be separated. There is no answer, because the answer to nostalgia itself is chaos. Seeing people who have been reconciled and seeking reconciliation in their lives, seeing ideals and reality, seeing that there is no way out before, and no way back later, Ceylon wanted to use movies to capture those invisible and intangible moments, and at that moment, he did it. Wild pears, although deformed, taste sweet.

    The hometown mocks the unworthy son, just as the son mocks the unremarkable Lao Tzu. Only when they realize that they are not contained by this land can father and son realize the possibility of reconciliation. The son's acceptance of his hometown's disapproval of him was finally confirmed by the obstacles from love to friendship, secularism to politics, religion to philosophy. A rope strung together three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, as well as the birth and death. More willing to believe that Sinan hanged himself at the end, and that Sisyphus-style drilling a well to find a way makes people unable to bear the sadness of romanticism! Still don't accept overloaded dialogue, but some single scene scheduling really shines. In the scene of stealing money, the old and noisy TV background sound and the connected family quarrel form an intertextual text. It may be saying: For thousands of years, Turkish family relations have never been like this.

    The director's several attempts are really unexpected, one is the illusion of his father hanging himself, the other is a baby with ants crawling on his face under a tree, and his son hanged himself in a well. Although in the end it was all a fantasy, or it reflected the mutual concern, mutual suspicion, and mutual understanding of the plight of their own lives. These are very useful for the audience's understanding of the work. If this is the reality of Turkey, people are really good, farmers have received higher education, girls also graduated from high school, and they are free to publish and can publish books with their own money. Just not many job opportunities. I like the director's "Hibernation" very much, and this is the same.
