Thursday, February 7, 2019 Writing Topic: Turkey Far Away
This is the first time I know Ceylon, and the distant Turkey has finally been drawn into my film territory in a real sense. What is the difference between the living conditions of young people in Turkey and the living conditions of our young people from the 1980s and 1990s to today? Don't be too busy to define, don't define what young people are, just be yourself. Haruki Murakami also wrote vigorously in his border travels, denouncing everything that happened in Turkey and Greece. I don't need to be polite, his readers, like him, will only taste the only aristocratic dessert at the table on a summer afternoon, with a light memory of the women they have seen in a lifetime and their white-painted sex, a bourgeois moan, no blood can be seen. dripping. His meanness was no more restrained than his artificial grace. So the Turkey in his eyes doesn't seem to be a reference for me, only the uncharacteristic Turkish soldier who loves to take pictures and the woman who insisted on refusing to take pictures even at the instigation of her husband, let me touch the real temperature of Turkey for the first time. .
Orhan Pamuk writes the 17th century story that connects Venice and Istanbul. In the 17th century Turkish youth, intellectual curiosity, rampant, willful gene spread into the following centuries. Orhan thinks like Mary Shelley about the complex emotional connections between a pair of young men in a dangerous relationship, the Venetian creates the learned Okja, and Frankenstein uses all his life to create another painful Adam. The modern landscape of Turkey is full of romanticism.
"Distant" is no different from any literary film in my impression. Maybe he didn't put the story in it. What audiences in any state pay attention to, what they see is what they see - I think This is my own literary dilemma. The state is contagious, and each stare becomes long and boring. The emotions are magnified, and it is easy to capture the inner changes of the characters in the film, because you are everyone in them.
When I try to find answers from some sources, to find the social context of Turkey, I want to know what is happening in this country, what is going on, what is the plight of their youth, what has led to their lives At the time of the state, I realized that I was too focused on the whole, and I only had to answer one question: what made him this way, and why I can easily resonate with this emotion. I need to go back to the individual, to take care of his social environment, to re-establish some connections, and most importantly, I need to clearly see how the connection between this individual and me came about. What he made me think about is what. I don't need to answer questions.
The dullness of the film makes me think of a person repeatedly, not the kind of memory that I miss, but just thinking of, and these long-broken souls, their glass bottles are so similar. This tedious art is almost absurd, only 5 percent of people are in it, and very few people know it. Ceylon entered the film industry as a photographer, and these traces emerge from the film little by little, and each picture is a photographic work. Whether it's the sail away, or the scene of Mamu leaning against a bench smoking a cigarette, the rule of line disappears, and Ceylon's own mark is firmly nailed into it.
Guan Locke said, whether it is a novel or a movie, if the protagonist is a writer or an artist, the anguish and sorrow of life will immediately become three-dimensional. Even joy is better than joy, mingled with cosmic mysteries or thought chaff. Artists are good mirrors that have been tried and tested. They can show the grimace that ordinary people do not reflect on their expressions, and they are full of drama. When drama is put into drama, it is as spectacular and unreasonable as the old pianos, and finally it makes people feel embarrassed. The spicy scriptures of eyebrows are as light as they are lifted.
And when I was searching for this paragraph, I happened to see Guan Luoke commenting on "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor", which is also a literary film, and for me, what I saw was also the living conditions of some people. In the words of Guan Locke, it is "inhuman", "without aura and flaws", and "deadly". But Ceylon is not, his dullness is alive, he knows how to capture the actor's temperature - heat is temperature, cold is temperature.
An empty mind is a mind, and an empty mind is also a mind.
As for why I think of the person whose glass bottle is like a literary film, why their temperament is always so similar. "Both alcoholics and addicts write poetry, and they break their love to pieces." Hu described himself as five percent of the youth in his novels, and literary films always portray such youths. In fact, there are no boundaries, and there are no classifications and proportions. We are all the same people. I almost slipped into your history, and you can almost become me. We just have a note to slide towards other keys. Connections are weakened, isolated, until they disappear, and we are the chaos we were when we came.
