A slow-paced but intense Turkish work. Director Nuri Bilge Ceylan explored human nature and social issues ambitiously, with far-reaching influence. Ceylon linked the coal mine fire incident in Turkey with his film at the Cannes Film Festival, thinking that the responsibility of the artist is to trigger public thinking about society. ABC believes that this is a very respectable embodiment of the director's professional ethics. (

The most powerful influence of "Winter Sleep" is to let the audience think about the decisions they have made, the image they give to the world, and whether they choose to give the compassion and sympathy to the disadvantaged groups of society is correct. The film is very in-depth, it is a good film that hit the nail on the head and has a far-reaching impact. Although the length and subject matter of the film may not attract widespread public attention, the film will certainly continue to win important film awards. (

Although it lasted nearly three and a half hours, it didn't waste any time for the audience. What's more worth mentioning is the climax of the film in the last half hour, which makes people nervous and grabs the hearts of the audience. There are large and long monologues in the film, but these monologues highlight the entanglement and pain of the characters' hearts, and can better reflect the thoughts that the director and screenwriter want to express.

"Winter Sleep" requires the audience to have more attention and endurance, as well as active thinking. Because, in the 196-minute movie, most of the time, the audience needs to accompany the protagonists in the debate, confusion, controversy, and in-depth thinking of many aspects of life as an intellectual. The sharp and delicate dialogue is like a double-edged knife. People who like it are regarded as treasures, and philosophical thinking and life insight are gained from it. People who don't like feel boring preaching and fidgeting. The film is a master classic that tolerates all things in life and tortures everyone's inner views and practices facing the world. With solid thickness and wisdom, it directly points to the relationship between human nature, people and society. (

"Winter Sleep" is indeed a very noteworthy good movie. Although the movie is 3 hours and 16 minutes long, it is still worth recommending. "Winter Sleep" once again proves that if the content of the long film is arranged properly, it can still climax one after another. However, during "Winter Sleep", there were indeed slower-paced episodes, coupled with the complicated relationship between the characters, it was not easy to concentrate for 3 hours. "Winter Sleep" didn't explain the reason for the sudden drop in the leading role, which was a bit confusing for the audience. Therefore, "Winter Sleep" is indeed a good movie, but whether it is worthy of the name "Palm of Gold" remains to be considered. (

"Winter Sleep" is a realistic version of "Beauty and the Beast", because the movie itself has all the elements of a fairy tale, but it tells a bleak marriage story. Think of "Winter Sleep" as "The Shining" without axes and ghosts. The director adopted the strategy of using dialogue to draw the picture, occasionally with a humorous color, and shot the longest work in the Cannes competition this year. Although the content is cumbersome, the film basically only tells a story that happens when a man's heart is frozen. It is as poignant as a fairy tale, but it is cruel and cool. (by the

"Winter Sleep" is a film as always, the whole film is full of Ceylon, whether it is the story, characters, structure or the texture of the film, it maintains a high degree of consistency with all previous works of Ceylon. The film is 196 minutes long, while being fragmented and life-like, it is extremely condensed and abstract. (
