The Dilemma of Introspection in "Hibernation"

The older brother who wrote the column and compiled the book, he is a retired actor born into a prominent family. After his father passed away, he returned to his hometown and inherited most of the family's inheritance. He also married a beautiful young girl. At first they fell in love with each other. Later, in the stumbling and quarreling and mutual abuse, they came into a state of being in harmony with the river. After two years of this kind of life, how will they live next? Step into the picture.

After the sister divorced, she moved from Istanbul to the old house in Anatolia where her brother was. She chose to abandon her marriage. This result did not bring her a sudden rebirth. Her contradictory entanglements are like pointers on a balance scale, turning to the left and to the right for a while. The inability to get out of the gloomy state of mind affects her whole Attitude towards life. The sense of powerlessness made her acrimonious, but also fragile and sensitive.

The elder brother, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law live in a comfortable and warm cave. The castle is large enough to accommodate the possibility of three people not seeing each other. Turn on the warm light, cook a large pot of black coffee, prepare some desserts for the tooth-fighting ceremony, put on a woolen blanket, curl up in a sofa chair, holding a book from the heavens that cannot be read, watching him sit at the desk and type, except for hacking The crackling keyboard sound can also hear the blazing fire in the fireplace outside the partition wall. It was snowing outside, and the Anatolian island was about to sleep peacefully under the white blanket. A comfortable life is also easy to make people tired. The coming hibernation season will add a trace of inexplicable sorrow to people who have nothing to worry about.

I said, "Do not do to others what you don't want to do", but you are too strong, even if you turn into a shadow, you still have to rob me of the sunshine I need. This kind of brutal behavior of robbers is in the name of love. He said that he would never find the old him again. The charming, humorous, and enthusiastic him disappeared. She only looked down at the familiar and unfamiliar face under the window through the window frame glass indifferently from the window. Fortunately, she could read his eyes.

Nothing is done, it is by no means the fault of others. No one restricts your hands and feet, and the sense of existence requires you to find and work hard. You can do what you like, you can read, you can regain yourself. She targets the selfishness of her "brother" who never sympathizes with others, and uses her tongue to fight against everything that makes her sad and suffocating. She can only use anger to regain her inner balance and comfort. . . . . .

Social problems, institutional abuses, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the good and evil of human nature, these things will always drag simplicity into the complex, making a retreat and self-reflection activity seem heavy. He did not talk to the poor, and gave all the power to the housekeeper. He was only responsible for analyzing the problems he saw and understood. However, poverty can easily make self-esteem a double-edged sword, and poverty can make giving and receiving incompatible. There is no direct route to the depths of the soul between him and them. Goodness is also regarded as an "attempt", and "evil" is even more regarded as "evil".

This kind of controversy is discussed from the beginning to the end in "Hibernation" and will not end. In 2014, the Turkish film "Hibernation", which won the main competition Palme d'Or in Cannes, gave people the power of initiation that was caught off guard. Such as the breeze blowing the wicker, the calm and introverted narrative rhythm controls the freely and vivid voice images, presenting a postcard-style photographic picture. These high-quality traits are just Ceylon's consistent style. What can bomb the ears and burn brain cells is the other self he will present.

There is a popular saying nowadays that screenwriters who can't act are not good directors. I reorganized it. Philosophers who can't take pictures are not good directors. A director is particularly favored by God, with eighteen martial arts, who can act, edit, film, and direct. Who is such a director? It is not difficult to find out who they are in the world of shining light and shadow in the century of silver sea. You can say that he is Bergman, you can also say that he is Lena Fassbender, you can also say that he is David Lynch, maybe the omnipotent in your heart is not among the ones I mentioned.

However, if I particularly amplify the function of "speaking", it may not be Andre's Tasmanian philosophy, nor is it Coppola's godfather's quotations, and Hommer's life speculation will also be set aside. The closest to this era, looking around, probably can't get around Woody Allen, the master of "Broken Mind". But after watching "Hibernation", I found another microphone who is very good at expressing myself, the Turkish director Ceylon, who has always regarded him as a beautiful boy who loves his hometown, his sorrowful literary style. It was the unfathomable charm of the starry night, which recognized him as a silent wanderer and an arrogant lone wolf.

But after "Hibernation", his image in my heart changed. He actually started to speak. This change is hard to ignore. In fact, he is a voice dormant in silence, an orator who exiles himself from a deserted village. He speaks in the static state of observation, and now he is about to move his lips. However, the conversations between him and Woody Allen, an old American angry youth, do not belong to the same frequency. The gang talks and talks, crushing the topic to show, and spitting out physical strength in life is also a necessary condition, like panting. The grinders can be passionate and unrestrained, or they can blow their beards and stare to make them temperamental.

And Ceylon didn’t seem to have many choices. He wanted to pull the ventriloquism he had accumulated for half a century out of his throat. He hoped that it was as solemn, formal, deep and simple as Homer’s epic, so Ceylon turned himself into a swimmer. Bard, drive into the castle "Talking is an Art". In fact, the poet's language is aura but it is by no means obscure. None of the lines in "Hibernation" makes me feel bored and bored. The identity and context of the characters are cogs.

For many people, at the end of "Hibernation", when the hero Aiden’s spiritual monologue is heard, the open-minded mood is completely opened, as if love and marriage are only four minutes in the 196-minute movie. There is no shackles. Like the British "Daily Telegraph" perspective I would like to quote, "Realistic Beauty and the Beast", "Hibernate can be imagined as "The Shining" without axes and ghosts." In this way, it is easier to say Imagine the forbearing clenched fist-style "blue veins violence" in the movie.

What's interesting is that compared with the excellent commercial films, it has to be speculative, and it will never put on a straight line to catch a donkey in the alley. In a three-hour philosophy class, Ceylon’s knowledge and experience are enough to control the identity of a speaker, so in the face of a huge amount of information that cannot be fully digested, how to project it into real life? Where does his topic lead the listener? A series of questions, these are the meaning and value of information that can be grafted and reproduced. Of course, we can only choose what we like, and take only a corner finely, or take a rough overall grasp. After all, there is no right or wrong way to interpret it, and it is free.

Before bitterness and resentment breed, I imagined the first love between Aiden and his wife Nihal. I naturally thought of Lu Yin and Li Weijian, who was nine years younger than her. Lu Yin described Li Weijian in his letter, “He has a passionate innocence and a passionate imagination. He is on the way to his life. For the first time in my life, I have seen such a sharp character. As for me, the gloom of my soul was swept away by his aura. "It can be seen that the flame of love is soaring into the sky.

Fortunately and unfortunately, this couple, who only enjoyed short-term happiness, used Lu Yin to say goodbye to their lives with regrets, leaving behind the legend of true love. In the six years that they have known each other and respected each other, the definition of soul mates floating out of the ink fragrance outlines the emotional world of all kinds of spiritual heights that are similar to them. In the movie, Aiden and Nihal also had the ultimate love, otherwise there is no need to experience a battle to thaw a "hibernating marriage". What reminds me so much is not inexplicable thoughts, but I have seen the love myths that have passed away in reality from the "hedgehog embracing" marriage of Aiden and Nihal, or I have heard that they are still groping. The red love song playing.

I even want to imagine infinitely, as if I was on the scene, I saw a castle of love with four distinct seasons in the emotional world of Ceylon. He also wandered inside and outside the walls of marriage, and he also experienced the spewing or dormant love firsthand. In fact, from 2006's "A Season Suitable for Breaking Up", all the scripts he completed with his wife Ebru, including this time "Hibernation" which infiltrated career, emotion, and life into the illusory world, these facts are my imagination The force has been added to the Hot Wheels.

It is not only injecting some fresh things into the movie's highlights, but also making some viewers convinced that this is the prologue of Ceylon's own reflection and self-examination. This script may be the result of a long conversation between Ceylon and his wife. Earlier, this couple only worried about other people's stories. This time, they wanted to meet each other frankly, and then returned to the "speculative" happiness. From Anatolia back to Istanbul, and then from Istanbul back to Anatolia, Asia Minor, which has a special regional significance, is the place where Ceylon's feet can touch the most profound social issues, racial religion, and human ethics.

Returning to the cold winter after the familiar May blue sky in Ceylon, from peeping at the loneliness of others back to examining the desolate life of self. Leave or stay behind? Is it bound or exiled? To be free or to be shackled? How can love be nourished? You can untie the rein that binds the horse and give it freedom, but where is the root of the fallen leaves? It cannot be denied that art, which is derived from life and is higher than life, reveals clues that can accurately lead the audience to the inner world of the author.
