It's quite natural and real (and leaves a lot of questions for foreign audiences), but it's a little contrived, and the movie is not very smooth in general. Please don't reserve time for the audience to check emails and text messages.

After reading some of the movie reviews here, I didn't make it clear about the content of the movie itself, so I hereby open a post to discuss it. I still didn't catch many parts of the movie, because when they were on the road with their high-beam lights on, I took the opportunity to check the e-mail. Although it only took a few seconds, I might have missed something. Welcome everyone. discuss together.

The main story is that a murderer A has an affair with the wife of a blue-collar worker B who was killed, so he suspects that B's son is actually his own son. On a dark and windy night, A and his mentally handicapped brother took action to bury B alive-they thought they were killed first and then buried, but the final autopsy found that they were buried alive. Then the film was shot of a group of relevant police officers, including police officers, prosecutors, and a coroner, who were digging soil with 2 criminals and driving 3 cars on the road after dusk to find the body. After searching for several places, I couldn't find it. Many simple dialogues happened in the police car or the suspicious place in the search or the village head of the village where they went to rest.

A few main conversations are recorded below:
One conversation was about cheese, whether cheese made by buffalo stinks. The superior and the inferior, the inferior did not give in to the smell of the buffalo cheese because the other party was the superior.

A conversation, between the prosecutor and the coroner, that runs throughout the film, is about the prosecutor's "wife of a colleague" who, months before giving birth to her daughter, said she would die after giving birth, only to find out really passed away. There was no omen, and when she said that, no one took it seriously. The doctor said it was a heart attack. The coroner asked, was there an autopsy at the end? The prosecutor said no, and the coroner said that should have been investigated. In the end, the director gave a hint that the woman might be the prosecutor's own wife, because in the middle of the final discussion with the coroner, he suddenly said "my wife..." and then turned away casually. topic.

And the driver who drives the prosecutor, likes to pick up some fruit wherever he goes.

I feel that the Turkish police are still more human than some jcs. Although he said at first not to give cigarettes, he gave cigarettes in the end. I watched this film just a few hours after watching the drama 12 Angry Jurors, so many things came to mind. The law, prosecutors, police and other things in the system, if a mistake goes wrong, it will affect human life, unless human life is not important somewhere.

At the beginning of the film, it said: There is going to be a heavy rain here. For hundreds of years, these rains will come here at some point, and they will never change. But a hundred years from now, those of us, prosecutors, police officers, criminals, etc. . . Then it didn't go on. This text is still beautifully written (I simply repeat the content, I can't express the mood). And then there's that common sense of death that the whole movie has, or at least that's how the movie shows it. He was not very careful with the victim's body, and his initial care was just for work. It's also only part of the job that the police go to find out, and piggyback part of the anger - mainly from the chief constable. Murderers don't have a lot of repentance either. Even the victim's son, at the end of the film, when he saw a soccer ball being kicked up by other children, he would deliberately run back and kick the ball back to the playground. All of them make the film show indifference.

    Ceylon was awarded the Cannes Jury Award for the second time. It has a lot of white space and a very chewy Turkish style painting. 1. The dislocation tension of far-near, simple-complex and fast-slow in the film is very charming: a lot of distant shots, but the sound (ambient sound, wind, dog barking and human voice) is always close-up/close-up loudness, Always hit the eardrum; focus on a real, simple and clear case, but focus on gradually spreading out every hidden and troubled figure through complicated dialogue; presenting in a slow, stagnant rhythm that only happened in one day and night Action. 2. In the end, the filming method of the counter-detection case where the truth is still lurking in the fog, reminds people of An Zhe’s debut 40 years ago [Reconstruction]. The rhythm, tone and part of the image (such as the falling apple and the jar) are in agreement. Like the old tower, the love for zigzag dirt roads and cars seems like Abbas possessed. 3. The photography is picturesque: bunches of car lights in the dark night, ancient statues illuminated by lightning, clumps of golden weeds, beautiful women who brought tea to everyone after the power outage, flocks of frightened birds and The gray sky. 4. "(The deceased) looks like Clark Gable". (8.5/10)

    Life is heavy and powerless, there is no escape, no escape, ups and downs in society, abandonment and betrayal, children are hope, when they grow up, it is another reincarnation.
