I seldom watch Turkish movies. After watching "Distant", I watched Ceylon's "Three Monkeys". Although the race, beliefs, and lifestyles are different from those of our country, some details, especially the human nature, are all different. It is interconnected. The performance of the actors seems to express some of my inner thoughts. Therefore, the film belongs to the world. People from any country (region) can enter the hearts of people from other countries through the language of the film. "Distant" tells the story of two men getting along, not a same-sex relationship, but two relatives, a cousin who has left his hometown, who goes to a big city to seek refuge with another cousin from his hometown who has a successful career and lives in his home. In the end, some conflicts were triggered, and they broke up with their own grievances. Some of the details that cause conflicts are so similar to ours, such as the etiquette of visiting other people's homes, cousin's informality, not putting shoes in the shoe cabinet, not flushing the toilet, turning on the lights but not turning them off, etc. He has paid more attention, such as calling his mother at home, reporting to his cousin, not smoking in the house, eating out as much as possible, etc. On the one hand, it is the inferiority complex of being dependent on others; The key is that they don't understand each other. My cousin thinks that my cousin has succeeded and should help me; my cousin thinks that his success is through his own efforts, and his cousin should also get his status through his own struggles.

In fact, it’s not bad because it’s too much to pretend to be B and the three monkeys.

Ceylon became famous, Cannes Jury Prize. Expressing human feelings of indifference and alienation, calm and cold tone, fixed and panning long mirrors, various use of space outside the painting, exquisite composition (many frames and occluded compositions) and condensed dialogue, etc., all resemble Antonio Ni’s plotless movie, peeping from behind the trees in the park is also imaginative [zoom in]. Details: Old Tower [Stalker] & porn, shoe cabinet, eavesdropping, pocket watch, shooting mice to avoid cats, smoke. (8.5/10)
