Thoughts, personalities, rich and poor, and beliefs are vastly different from each other, forming sharp differences and conflicts that cannot be eliminated. Sisters and younger brothers, husbands and wives, landlords and tenants, even in civilized and peaceful ways, through frequent exchanges, they It is also difficult to buffer the tense relationship between them. They are talking loudly and fighting each other. They stand on their respective positions and try to reverse the deadlock that is full of depression and crisis through communication. It is well known that the stimulation and harm of words are more lethal than real guns and live ammunition. Intense, but the biggest effect it plays is just adding trouble and pain to their icy state of mind and relationship, but can't substantively change or improve the horse, the rhythm of the whole film is like a gentle song that gradually ushered in highs and lows. The ups and downs of classical music are very compelling and realistic. On the surface, they seem to be daily trivial, but in reality, there are intense emotional fluctuations. The last part of burning money reaches the emotional boiling point, and the deep-rooted contradictions are as solid as a rock. It is difficult to overcome the relationship between life and life, but after the sharpness, Ceylon still incorporates a touch of sentimental warmth. Finally, the male protagonist puts down his arrogant head and confides in his heart, which is very touching.
Aiden, Shen Jing, who is getting deeper and deeper in the literary creation of religious themes that he does not understand at all, immerses himself in typing on the keyboard, pondering ideas and publishing articles in the newspapers and magazines. It has become the only motivation in his life and the capital of spiritual pride. In addition, he also manages the huge assets of his ancestors, including hotels and land. He is a arrogant, indifferent and aloof person. People who have never cared about charity are willing to give generously because of a letter from a reader. The tenants who have a hard life seem to be polite and resolute. They can only get some "goodwill" from the tourists, through the grievances and evaluations of his wife, his sister's ruthless remarks about him and his works, and the local tenants. In the negotiation with the superficial effort but no room for evasion and repeated evasion, we can understand what kind of person Aiden is. After getting out of the car and staring at the residential area with a difficult life, from a horse that was tough and tame because of a passenger's demand to a hare who was freed and died under his shotgun, gave up writing in Istanbul and returned to his wife's side. Duan's emotional monologue shows the compromise and relief of Aiden, who has gradually stepped down from the "throne".
In the film, Aiden's sister, who is deeply in the vortex of loneliness and boredom, is willing to accept the hurt and despicableness of her ex-husband in order to restore the broken relationship between them. A way of compromise, but also understands Aiden's sister's desperate desire to get rid of loneliness and boredom, making people feel that the atmosphere of this home is as cold as the snow outside the window. Young and beautiful, busy with charity work all day long, became the only thing that Aiden's wife thinks has meaning in life. She has a stomach of dissatisfaction and bitterness towards Aiden. Through education and sincerity, he euphemistically reveals his pride and sarcasm. He tried several times to calm down. All of the exchanges ended in unhappy situations, with a point-to-point confrontation with Maimang. Aiden's rude interference and character problems made her depressed and miserable, but she did not have the ability and courage to abandon the material needs that Aiden gave her. Can barely maintain this freezing point relationship that exists in name only and fell to the bottom of the valley, Luo Hua is intentional and ruthless, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the contradictions accumulated over time are difficult to easily eliminate, but in the end, I still felt a faint and moving touch from Aiden. expect.
The most obvious and profound manifestation in this film is the unquenchable disputes under the influence of the social gap between the rich and the poor. Just like the window glass smashed by the tenant's son, there are irreparable cracks. Ceylon through the tenant's brother The way they dealt with them reflects the embarrassment and mentality of the people living in the lower classes. There is a family living in a shabby and cold house. In the face of expensive glass damages and arrears of rent, the honest younger brother is repeatedly inferior. Slippers, muddy shoes, reluctant kisses, sudden fainting, repeated pleas, appearing humble and pathetic, hoping for "salvation" by illusory faith, and being released from prison and unable to find a job leads to a tough attitude full of resentment His elder brother has always defended his dignity with sturdiness. Whether it was knowing the extremeness of his son after smashing the window, or throwing the banknotes she gave to the fire in front of Aiden's wife easily, it all heralded the relationship between them. The relationship has already formed one after another hard wounds that cannot be healed. In the film, the tenant's brother's son is actually a very important existence. His undisguised anger, unscrupulous behavior and final witnesses can be said to be the dark side of reality since childhood. Dangerous and tragic seeds were planted in the tender and young heart. Ceylon has always paid great attention to the unbearable social reality, and it is presented objectively and profoundly in the language of realistic and desolate lenses, which has a profound power to make people reflect from the heart.
The soothing, beautiful and sad melody is paired with images that are so beautiful and suffocating in every frame. In addition, the "popular faction" actors' natural and well-placed performances form a beautiful and delicate picture with a profound artistic conception. Ceylon is good at fixed long shots. , the magnificent, barren and grim scenery of Turkey in winter can be seen at a glance, and it complements the situation in the film. It is perfect to take a picture at random. The layout of this film is actually very small, most of which are indoors, and the story is basically Revolving around hotels, friends' houses, tenants' houses and the scenery along the road, Ceylon only uses the life-like communication process of characters to reflect the scarred and crumbling relationship between several parties. It seems ordinary and daily, but it is actually full of powerful tension. and fluctuations, the estrangement caused by various reasons, coupled with a few objective but conspicuous religious doubts, and the useless emphasis of communication, it is easy for people to think of Bergman who has the same theme in the same way. . After reading it, the final monologue has been echoing in my ears. Ceylon is like using a delicate scalpel to quietly cut a wound in society, showing the current situation of people's lives on their respective positions and the relationship that is difficult to reverse the crisis. Unusually heavy and depressing, full of sad and compassionate poetry. Ceylon finally reached the top in Cannes with this more full and meticulous masterpiece, proving the "uncrowned master" that has been called before.
