distance

From "Hibernation" to "Three Monkeys" to "Distant", I have also read many film reviews about Ceylon, and what I learned is, first of all, his long shots, "He prefers to fix the shots and focus on the close ones. At a certain point, then let the characters enter and exit the picture at a distance, or approach and away from the focus, so as to convey the alienation feeling between the characters and the outside world and the audience”; secondly, it is the Ceylon-style ending, “the total There will be a close-up of the protagonist's expression, and in these films, without exception, the characters are looking at the vast and unknowable distance, as if there is a better life, love and family."

Although a lot of scene and atmosphere shots are also used in this "Distant", I don't think it is still a dull film at all, especially the snowy Istanbul is so beautiful. At the end of the film, as if Istanbul has entered spring, the change in the weather also reflects a change in the character's heart. It can be seen that You Shu, who just came to the big city from a small place, is very "informal" in his life, because a small toy to give to his niece can laugh so innocently. However, after being disgusted by Ma Mu and arguing with him, he watched a steamship pass by from the balcony. He suddenly felt at a loss, because there were no dreams in big cities, and dreams were in the distance. During the dispute, Youshu said to Mamu that the big city has changed you. Indeed, when we come to the big city to work hard, we gradually feel that "dangling" should be taken for granted. We learn to become a proper and well-behaved "adult", and while pursuing private space and spiritual independence, we secretly envy the image. You Shu still has strong feelings like this, and he can still find an outlet for his feelings. The two people who are forced to live in the same space, and the three people in "Hibernation" who spend the freezing winter together in a hotel in Asia Minor, can't understand the other. After all, life is loneliness.
In "Hibernation," all three are literate, middle-class men, all trying to find meaning in their lives, yet each pointing out the hypocrisy of the other. In fact, in real life, there will also be such secret rivalries between friends or lovers, whether out of jealousy or sitting on a sense of moral superiority, condescendingly sneered at each other's personality, dreams, talents, and even kindness.

Also a rental experience. I stayed at a friend's house in Toronto for a month. In life, I am also a bit of a "non-trivial" person, and my clothes are often thrown around. , but don't know how to find it. My friend is very busy, leaving early and returning late, but she always quietly cleans up the room and buys three meals for me. On the one hand, I admired her self-confidence and her progress, but on the other hand, I felt disdain for her dreams and glory, so my personality became more and more gloomy and weird, and my words were "yin and yang strange".
I remember a few years ago, in a youth hostel in Kunming, a girl asked me if it was easier to get close to the "weak". Because we have the same self-esteem, the same vulnerability. It's a pity that people are like this. We are usually aware of our own inferiority, but we can only blame ourselves for how we can't change it and how we can't become a better person. Fortunately, my friend is indeed a tolerant person, but these confessions are still unspeakable.
