"Wouldn't it be nice to see it as an epiphany?"

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.

    It's really a bit of a big game this time...probably the first Ceylon I don't really like. Too much talk is not a problem, hibernation is a very positive attempt by Ceylon between literature and video. But the wild pear tree further broke this balance. Several location schedules have completely collapsed. The motion shots have made the film lose its sense of stability, the light has become very messy, and the rhythm has become uncontrollable in the ramble. As for the last scene, there is no chance for people to stare at ease...and his greatest charm lies precisely in these places. If it is said that these are the director's intentions, it is not obvious enough. Illusions and dreams are beautiful, but not very advanced. Still, the meta-fiction/movie is interesting, and the state of the cynical is fun. Ceylon sincerely exposed his heart, poured out his various injustices and doubts about the world, and also showed Turkey's problems at all levels, which is still admirable and moving.

    Four and a half stars, there is some personal empathy in the family relationship, but more importantly, the narcissistic and introspective inner state of the intellectuals is depicted, especially the author did not create an overly high-level protagonist, but kept him in narcissism. The subtle state of self-consciousness, from which there is so much to unfold.
