The most exciting thing about "Hibernation" is Ceylon's introspection.
The see-saw in the first smashing car glass incident has been very successful in sketching the outline of the characters, social status, the contradictory personality of the elites, value orientation, etc. At this time, Aiden showed some value benchmarks and cautiousness. The cautious style of dealing with things made this character a bit comical, and then confronted the young wife and sister in two analytical dialogues, so that this character was thoroughly drawn from the outside to the inside, in terms of moral standards, class distinctions, good and evil Argument, religion, philosophy and many other trivial aspects fill in a large number of details and colors in the initial establishment of the character. Aiden’s thoughts are becoming more and more three-dimensional, and more and more sense of depth. These two big The confrontation actually put Aiden into a very embarrassing situation. When his arrogance, exquisiteness, and moral superiority were deeply analyzed by his wife and sister who represented other positions, I felt that Aiden at this time was no longer a specific one. As an individual, his individual attributes began to fade, and Aidenian thinking began to show a dilemma that would easily make intellectuals seem to have a similar dilemma. It represents a social elite who is very afraid of no sense of existence, and is falling into an embarrassing morality. After a difficult situation, I tried hard to find solace but couldn't. Ceylon squeezed seven inches of the intellectual.
It is said that Ceylon pinched seven inches of intellectuals. Perhaps this should be more of Ceylon's introspection. These speculations come from Ceylon's own self-examination. Although it lasts for 3 hours, the film directly discards many insignificant and time-consuming details. It uses literary text to directly penetrate the psychological state of the characters. It uses sophisticated photography and highly literary film dialogue. Set up a higher context, and conducted a dialectic of thought on this high-context platform, and undisguisedly expresses his mind with a long story. But it still has a different taste from the literary text itself. My eyes cannot ignore the exquisite photography and details. The exquisite details are the amount of information in the image itself, and the visual magic brought by the proper empty lens is even more powerful. It can make the movie more distant. "Hibernation" is full of long shots and long talks, abandoning the spectacle of the location and returning to the bleak interior, forcing the audience to pay attention to the existence of a higher context. In this extremely informative forum, the dialogue is trivial but all have My own tough stance, the pure charm of speculation and the reflexivity of literary nature make this lengthy dialogue fascinating. Watching this unconcealed tearing of thought is really a very, very wonderful enjoyment.
The character of Aiden is Ceylon's many aspects of self-examination. In the relationship between her sister and wife involving the hypocrisy superiority of the elite, the control and asymmetry in the relationship between the sexes, the character of Aiden still behaves. It’s quite hierarchical. From the attitude and height you choose to talk to your sister to your wife, you can feel that there is a height difference between the characters. Two very violent confrontations, like a knife to remove the meaningless cover of Aiden. , Removing the rounded things, showing the unevenness of the character, making the character of Aiden more authentic. The film’s exterior scenes are beautiful, but in order to focus more on the characters themselves, the film mainly chooses to focus on the interior scenes. In the very life-like and narrow indoor scenes, the characters who get along day and night seem to be separated by several planets. The content of the forum is solemn and comes from the unserious life itself, but the dialectics and collisions between thinking are always separated by a distance. The contrast between this distance is part of the depth of the movie and it is thought-provoking.
By this time, the movie was getting better, but the dotted soundtrack made me feel a little too big. After the two confrontations, the lonely Aiden hid in a friend’s house, and his wife secretly made a donation to the tenant. These two episodes are based on the previous two sessions, using a more contrasting way to make the problems discussed in the movie become bigger. The class estrangement shown by the wife's visit to the rented house is undoubtedly more severe and realistic than we imagined. Each class has reached the point where it is impossible to communicate; and the moral dilemma of the topics involved in the drunken discussion of the three is stronger and deeper than the previous paragraphs, and even this part of the intellectuals themselves are not unified. Responsibility, class, and philosophy began to merge in the Turkish social landscape and began to rise, and finally the whole story fell on the lonely individual, Aiden. After Ceylon’s self-reflection and self-criticism, the film also carried out more extensive thinking. In the magnificent location, the village in Aiden’s eyes began to show the whole picture, and it became clearer and more moving in the heavy snow. The attention to and recognition of the many social plights in Turkey is like a glimpse of the snow falling from a distance, far and clear, full of complex feelings, and Aiden, who stands in the snow carrying all these thoughts, appears to be so. lonely. At this time, I felt that a few faint pieces of music were used so wonderfully.
At the end of the movie, Aiden’s piety to his wife, letting go of his proud monologue, let Aiden return to the concrete, at the end of the silent music, I feel a humble feeling. Above the existence of language, I can think of the most beautiful and barrenest vocabulary as just "compassion". This is a feeling of deja vu, higher than the movie, higher than the language.
This is the best movie of the year.
