The coldness and warmth of this world are just right

"Hibernate" is the best movie I've seen in 2014, bar none. The whole film, as always, continues the style of Ceylon, which is subtle, quiet, and eloquent. One protagonist has four or five accompanying scenes, multiple clues, multiple themes, multiple narratives, and multiple dialogues. Pretentious, heaven and earth are always grand, but this scene of sentient beings is still described as profound, subtle, and like an eye into the heart. It is reminiscent of Xu Anhua's "Days and Nights in Tianshui Wai". It washes vegetables, boils water, works, and eats. It shows the twists and turns of fate in a restrained way, and it tells the story of ordinary to eternal life, but Ceylon's film covers more content. Abundance is the vast expanse of the rough and wild on the Asian continent, the national temperament that has lasted for thousands of years on the ancient thick soil, the social depiction of the gap between the rich and the poor, and the human nature full of philosophical thoughts on multiple levels of identity, age, and psychology. The portrayal is a spiritual resonance of regret, emotion, doubt, reflection, and many emotions, like crying and laughing. I am afraid there is a long-term uneven storm on philosophy, thinking, psychology, and mind like "Youth Pi"!
The Ceylon framing concept has a strong sense of layering and a strong sense of picture. The opening chapter is a distant view. A man with gray beard stands on the scattered hills of the stone house, staring at the tourists on the ridge with mixed eyes. The stone walls of the stone houses with a strong sense of age, the sand-like snow in the early winter outside the four-corner windows, the quiet fine snow in the evening and early morning, the continuous wind and snow on the ground, the mountains, rivers and trees after the snow. The scene of the hare shot and its long undulating abdomen, the unrestrained horses in the wilderness, the struggle of the wild horses caught by ropes in the river and the heavy panting wetly after landing, the smoke in the distance in the heavy snow seems to be raging. The barren mountain village is like a fairyland, and even in several dialogues in the play, the dripping rain can be heard, the vigorous fire can be seen, the barking of the village dogs and the rustling sound of the wind. In such a generation and society , There are not many directors who can make movies with such care, sincerity and patience, not to mention that this has become the style of Ceylon. In fact, there are three or two frames in a film that are enough to move, and there are such a large number of Ceylon. The image is worthy of the word awe.
A wealthy man who has just entered his old age, a young and beautiful, empty and idle proud wife, a divorced Kochi sister, a debtor renter, a farmer whose wife died and children left, a single foreigner, the story gradually unfolds in this way. The Lord's suspicion and care for his wife, all the stubbornness, utilitarianism, and arrogance in disputes, selfishness, indifference, and meanness towards others, no reflection or lack of reflection in addition to refutation, but inner struggle, powerlessness, turbulence, narrow-mindedness, and lack of detachment. Of course, he With his love, his frankness, his caring and his generosity, the monologue at the end of the film also makes people see the understanding and redemption of the male protagonist. Let the whole film see the positivity, the power of introspection, and the unsolicited mercy of the characters after the events of the world. "I didn't leave, I couldn't leave, I'm old and crazy now, I'm someone else, whatever you think, but this new self won't let me go, it's not because of you that I stayed, Istanbul There is nothing I am familiar with, everything is unfamiliar, and everywhere else, I have no one but you, I miss you every moment, I will never say it, because I am too proud to let me be with you. Your separation is too scary and impossible, but I know you don't love me anymore, I know we can't go back to the past, I don't regret it, take me as a servant or a prisoner, let us live together, as you please forgive me."
The kind-hearted wife has no interest in marriage due to years of quarrels. She is beautiful and proud, considerate, compassionate, frank enough with others and herself, and hates the indifference and selfishness of the male protagonist. The reflection on marriage and the exchange with each other in the fire is very touching, she said: "You know why we have been inseparable from each other, I guess I may be quite hedonistic, I am too young, I have no courage and no money, so I can't leave, More nowhere to go but don't you feel remorse? Watching a young woman in good health, so proud, but dissolved in so empty boredom and fear, at first I was scared, now I'm ashamed, I wasted me The best years, all my good qualities, are lost in the quarrel with you, I have become stubborn, timid and suspicious, we can live better, but it is too late." Ceylon's film It always makes people see the diversity of human nature. Originally, I was more disgusted by the suspicion of the male protagonist and the ruthlessness of his lover and the pressure between words, but what kind of choice a man so proud made can make such a frank heart, how deep and how deep is his love. How urgent is his heart, how lonely is his heart and how much he wants to seek support, he never blames his wife, his love is not wrong, but there is a problem with the way of love, "You don't understand, you have to be like me, in a Growing up in a village without electricity, and then in a nice and comfortable house, listening to his wife's voice, even the horrific howl, our youth was bleak, we didn't learn how to be happy." The whole marriage quarrelled repeatedly , like love and hate, leaving no room, but the generous side always loves gently.
In the film, the male protagonist and his sister have about three paragraphs of dialogue, and the topics are more ultimate, about the punishment of evil, about introspection and honesty, about life experience, about growing up hope and disappointment, about love and quarrel, about emptiness and truth, His sister said, "How about you? You waste your best years on things that you don't care about. You, an actor, forgot to be real, forget to be yourself, and change your identity like changing clothes." In life, those who live seriously are always worthy of respect. No matter whether they are working or unemployed, once those powerful words strike their hearts, they will leave a long-lasting reverberation.
In a paragraph at the back of the film, the wife gave her lover’s large donation to the owed tenants, the courtyard was dilapidated, the house was deserted, and the house was barely decorated. , to save his father's face, this is for my selfless brother, who has been kneeling around for four months, begging for a bite to eat, this is for me, an alcoholic, who was beaten in front of his son and lost the face of the whole family, This is our hero, the landowner's wife." Then, still in the furnace with a dozen money, the wife wept silently because her mercy was not accepted.
What should I say, it seems superfluous to say anything in front of such a magnificent and delicate gigantic system, but what? The mean male protagonist has become the most forgiving character, no matter how cruel his lover is, no matter how cruel his sister's words are, his love and care are as always, he can see compassion, and release the wild horse he caught in the dark, he asks his lover's forgiveness, he loves In his impoverished village, his lover can forgive the common people but does not give him a chance to love his beloved. In his heart, he is absolutely determined to marry, and is almost cruel to the male protagonist. As for his sister, he is almost resentful to his younger brother. He is immersed in his own world and is equally selfish. Cold, his debtors, they are as cunning as ever, can only say that the warmth and coldness of this world are as always and just right!

Winter Sleep quotes

  • Aydin: Justice doesn't even exist in nature, why should it exist here?

  • Aydin: [Epilogue] Nihal, I didn't go away. I couldn't. Whether it's because I've grown old, or I've gone mad, or because I've become a different man, think what you like. I just don't know. But this new man inside me for a few days won't let me go away. Please, don't ask me to go either. I now understand nothing is calling me to Istanbul. Everything is alien to me there as it is everywhere else. I want you to know that I have no one but you. And I miss you every minute, every second that goes by. But my pride will never let me tell you this. I know very well how to terrible or impossible it would be to part from you. Just as I know that you do not love me anymore. I know we can't go back to the old days. And there is no need to. Take me with you like a servant, like a slave. And let us continue our life even if we do it your way. Forgive me.
