on the other side of life

After reading it, many emotions are difficult to express in one sentence, and the protagonist is so familiar with the anxiety of his identity and the nostalgia he sometimes reveals. . . It was only at the end that I found out that this turned out to be the work of Fatih Akin! ! I really like the handling of the final picture, facing the sea, there is no spring blossoms, but there is an open heart, tolerance for relatives, enemies, the world, and myself. The blue sea of ​​my hometown is enough to melt the heart of every wanderer.

PS, I think the prostitute's sister-in-law is very attractive, the professor's little brother has a shy and forbearing face, and the scene of wearing washed jeans at the beach really annoys me, Lala's little MM is very cool and kind, wow, don't wear it Bra runs around very casually. The heroine doesn't look very Turkish, but she looks a little Mongolian (it is estimated that she was mixed during the Mongolian period? Has Turkey been ruled by Mongolia? I will go to Baidu later), but I like her handsome. She looks like she is running wild with a high ponytail, very healthy complexion, very energetic~~

When I was washing my face just now, I suddenly thought, I found that Fatih Akin's works always seem to be struggling between the irritability of youth and the tranquility of the elderly, Solino In the end, the youngest son returned to his hometown and married a girl with black eyes with long hair like a waterfall. The girl in Head on seemed to have reformed in the end (she didn't die?), and the same is at the end of the other side of life, young People and old people understand and forgive each other, and the music and pictures are in harmony with the characters' psychology. In fact, these films are about youth and growth! And it also has a high degree of internationalization~~

    The second of Fatih Akin's "Love Death Devil" trilogy won Best Screenplay at Cannes. The play is indeed exquisite, and although it is too dramatic in some places, it is not the kind of forced choreography that goes all the way to the dark. Three groups of six characters, three paragraphs, the first two paragraphs are the names of the spoilers, and they happen at the same time. In the second paragraph, the professor and the woman repeatedly pass by each other without knowing each other, and the unexpected and unexpected deaths in the first two paragraphs are all in line with Ah Jin's obsession with the motif: the fate of impermanence, accident and doom. The structure of the first two paragraphs is also similar to that of the multi-clue cross-narratives that have prevailed before (especially Inaritu's estranged trilogy). The third paragraph finally reached a lofty ending of two-to-two reconciliation, and understanding and love are the only ways to resolve conflicts and disputes. There are many gaps left for the audience to fill in the whole story. Under the framework of melodrama, various issues are connected in series, such as the judicial system in Germany and Turkey, discrimination and isolation within the immigrant group, the Kurdish issue, and so on. There are also a lot of confrontation and support before and after, the most eye-catching is the shot of the two coffins getting off and on the plane respectively. (8.5/10)
