After watching Ceylon's "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia", I thought it was similar to "Once Upon a Time in America", so I was inevitably disappointed when I watched the title, but the film is delicate, subtle, restrained, and macroscopic. The scattered stone sculptures on the plains of Asia Minor, the windy wilderness, the trickling water across the wilderness, the ripe wild fruits drifting away with the current, the knee-length weeds undulating with the wind, and the sound of sparsely pulling, are as primitive as the thousand years of black and yellow. In the past, this land that carried ambitions and dreams, generations of heroes have come and passed, and Alexander was buried here, but it is still free and magnanimous, and all the past events are forgotten in time and space without trace.
But at the level of society, declining villages, conservative concepts, alienation of brothers, deep love and determination, at the level of human nature, introverted and abundant disposition, skeptical psychology, desire for beauty, remorse and recollection, cunning and indifference, Through a murder case slowly presented, a very intriguing film, the spiritual temperament of the entire Asia Minor region is fully and accurately displayed. This kind of work looks particularly cool, neutral, objective, non-dogmatic, with a strong exotic style, and the director's observation is cold and penetrating Wood. By the way, the overall feeling is a bit like Pamuk's work, giving people a lot of dimensions and space for thinking.
