Wild Horses: Both subjective and objective. The subjectivity lies in the narrative method of the film, with the most "rebellious" girl as the protagonist of the narrative. The objective lies in the director's technique, calm and restrained, and presentation is greater than performance. The film does not impose certain morals or preach, its mission is to make the audience experience and feel it. The best part of the movie is the setting of the two weddings, one is the pursuit of freedom, and the other is the order of the parents. The two weddings form a strong contrast. Escape there?" is a much better expression than crying. In the close-up of the crying girl's face, the language is superfluous in front of the screen. As the narrator of Isser, we followed her eyes to see what happened to her sisters, but she only played a guiding role, and did not allow the audience to accept her feelings and values. The film is cool and restrained, and even when one of the girls is killed, there are no tears or amplified sensationalism. Isser's feelings for the sisters were not expressed in words or tears, and were often expressed calmly and restrained. In the end, when Isser fled with her sister who was dissatisfied with her marriage arrangement, the photos of her five sisters were enough to show her feelings for the sisters. The narrative content and film style of "Mustang" complement each other, and the moral themes explored are as profound and thought-provoking as "The Parting" and "Beyond the Mountain." At the beginning of the movie, Isser said goodbye to her teacher, and at the end of the movie, she found her teacher, and she was the first to be harmonious. The fluttering long hair of the five girls, like their youthful dreams, was buried under the feudal marriage system, and their ego was kidnapped by the so-called moral system. I kept booing and sighing while watching the movie, and the resemblance to real life made me love this movie. As a directorial debut, this film is really admirable!

    2017.05.13 Night CCTV6 ~ The female director draws on her own real experience. The heroine in the film successfully escaped, but in reality, they can only be forced to accept deprivation of liberty. The Islamic world is really a hell for free women! This is still Turkey, the most secular country in the Islamic world, and at least there are voices of resistance. And Afghanistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, without even a voice...

    The last two girls who dared to escape home were like wild horses that refused to be tamed. ——A female film made by a female director, telling the shackles of the Turkish secular world on women. There are bright spots but nothing new, and several places are the same. (The director uses actors as puppets)...
