After watching "Distant", I once again experienced the sense of despair and excitement of drinking to quench my thirst, and I was sober. In the speechless gallery, there was no intention to extricate himself. It seems that the long cry of "Lone Wolf" wandering in the freezing cold is his life and my story.
I would like to quote a seemingly related and unconnected Nobel Prize speech here, in order to splash out the melancholy that there is nowhere to escape under the clouds in my chest. When Heinrich Bohr, one of the greatest post-war German writers, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972, he was also well-meaningly described as a literal statue that was not as rich and great as the real thing, but also tried to be objective. His work embraces such a comprehensive concept: homelessness and humane aesthetics.
"But Burr's homelessness is not a tragic personal fate, a personal wreck that is outside the safe haven of society. He is about a homeless society, a time when things have gone off track and gone astray. , it stretches out its hands on all street corners to beg for alms, the kind of alms that means solidarity and human togetherness.” The
reason why I quote this passage, which at least makes me nod, is because of the boundlessness it expresses. the breadth of. The secret words that were transmitted under the sky of Berlin, Germany, actually traveled back to every corner of the earth. And when I am at the foot of the Great Wall, I will also board an exotic pier from time to time in my heart, just like the deep winter evening wind of the Black Sea Strait that I feel at this time.
The story begins with the unemployed Yusuf fleeing to Istanbul's cousin Mam. In the icy slumber, the sleepy eyes of related characters and moviegoers are awakened. What happened next? I want to say, here it is, the rest of the inquirers wander alone, but can't speak bluntly. Afraid of repelling the temptation to lure you to watch the film. In fact, as far as this film is concerned, the memory of "saying" is far less than the aftertaste of sinking and liberation that cannot be shaken away after "watching".
In short, the story is the real life. It’s like you and I get up early to catch the subway to go to work. It’s like hiding in a corner of the park after losing a job. It’s a day’s helplessness. The loneliness and emptiness of silence, cigarettes, beauty. In addition, it is the grass bud of thought, Xiao Bai, who is invincible in the world, but it is not cold, but like a sunset that has been washed by the storm and hid in the clouds.
And I think, whether it's a fictional movie story or a never-ending real life, in this difficult life, anyone can shirk the blame, and this should not be a single person's sin. Like Burr's insight into the world, if living in a homeless society, heroes are bound to be in distress, not to mention the helpless mortals. There is no need to ask whether we have been forgotten by the world, because we have not been known at all. However, sometimes, we will see hope and feel happy, because we are a pair of fellow travelers who can comfort and warm each other. But sometimes, we will be sad and despair, because we are still a pair of strangers who need mutual comfort and warmth, but cannot save each other. The important point is that the dream of wandering freely on the sea is like the desire to have wings to fly, here is always a "dream" of suffering or luck.
Obviously, I am very sympathetic to Yosef, who is bound to encounter contempt and defeat from the country to the city, but I am even more sympathetic to the lonely Mam whose "love" and "warmth" have been swept away by the years. Perhaps because of my narrow cognition, I insisted on blaming the "homeless" society for the estrangement and harm between them. Even if there are too many details in the plot to explain that human nature achieves the same goal in different ways, it is a natural nature, just like I can't hide my ears, I am sure that I have eradicated my emotions and desires. But I still think it's better to be considerate of all the stains in their character, in a certain situation, I'm not more noble and smart than them, am I?
I will often think of Yosef as a careful figure living in the Mam's house. Think of his lonely figure standing on the windy balcony smoking. Thinking of his eyes looking at the sailing ship and unwilling to give up his dream. Reminds me of the prudent demeanor of his life when he secretly called his cousin. Thinking of his innocent yet simple face. He didn't think it would be a problem for his little-known cousin in Istanbul to help him find a job. This paragraph is too kind. Wang Hailing's "New Marriage Era" describes a similar life silhouette. The old family thought that if they were rooted in the root of the imperial city, they were all relatives of the royal family. What problem is not a matter of a sentence. So we often hear people who grew up in the imperial capital ridiculing the "fathers and folks" in the countryside—you don't know the officials or juniors if you haven't been to Beijing. But changing the way of thinking shows that people are becoming more and more alienated, especially in cities. There is only a mutually beneficial relationship between people, and there is no need to talk about extravagant mutual help and love.
In the picture of recalling Yosef, I was used to looking for Mam. He belongs to that kind of lonely and depressed second-tier artist. Life is self-sufficient but does not satisfy him, and a mediocre career cannot achieve his dreams. But there is still a dying love in his heart, so he can calmly take in his cousin in the country, can give him a small amount of money in the form of hiring Yosef without leaving a trace, and can stay in his mother's ward to do a little filial piety. But he is still an ordinary person who does not have enough courage and ability, so he will back down and choose silent harm. It was manifested in his treatment of his ex-wife, and his love for his ex-wife was hidden under the disturbance of self-esteem. So I can only fill the confusion with erotic videos of masturbation, girls shared among friends. In his treatment of Youssef, he suspected that Youssef had stolen his pocket watch, and not only rummaged through Youssef's luggage, but even devoured the truth after finding it. So Yosef had no choice but to leave. Of course, the most outstanding performance is in treating himself, which is the reason why he has come to this point in his life, and he has no anger and no anger.
In general, this feature film, which is equally divided between the two, is full of indescribable viewing pleasure and infinite resonance because of its particularly delicate emotional expression. I am also puzzled by some of Yosef's actions. When his cousin took care of his mother, he made a mess of the house, but he didn't clean it up. aside. But Mam forbids Yosef to smoke in the living room, and it turns out that only the state officials are allowed to set fire to the scene, which is also what I don't understand about Mam. Maybe it is human nature. When it is unacceptable, all good is all bad.
There is no doubt that "Far Away", which made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003, has its own high quality that can be tested. The two male protagonists won the Best Actor Award, which is also a wonderful gift from this film. Ceylon's directing method is worth pondering. The steps that are not inferior to the novel are full of aura and connotation arranged by him. Maybe some people think the film is too boring, because they see a similar look and feel, but I really enjoy this kind of film.
Always looking at the big ferry, it can carry Yusuf's dreams and take him to the coast that is constantly approaching a happy life. It seemed that it was no longer the dream of Yosef alone, but the dream of all human beings who were curled up in the predicament. If we can warm each other, some people will not be roasted unbearably, and more people will be able to share a touch of warmth.
PS: Thank you very much for the recommendation of the classmates "Youth Dead Youth on the Road", which is very beneficial! good movie! Great recommendation!
