Ceylon Apple

In May 2003, the snow of Istanbul was floating in the sky of Cannes. The thin family affection and loneliness of "Distant" sneaked into the hearts of the audience silently, winning the Cannes Film Festival Jury Award and Best Actor Award in one fell swoop. Director Ceylon has since become the "Cannes darling": "Three Monkeys", which describes the tragedy caused by concealing the truth, won the Best Director Award in Cannes in 2008. In 2011, "My Past Anatolia" continued to dig out the truth, full of compassion for the subtle and complex human nature. For his love, he won the Cannes Jury Award again.

Prosecutor Nast led doctors, police, soldiers, excavators, and two suspected murderers in the Anatolian Plateau to find the place where the bodies were thrown. The errand that was so successful has gradually evolved into a long process for people of all kinds to examine and discover themselves. . Why do police officers who often shoot in the wilderness with tears in their eyes? Persevering people and cars that go and stop in the dark, and occasionally turn off the fire, do they mean that Turkey is still struggling to join the European Union? Since applying for membership in the EU in 1987, Turkey, which has no longer crossed the river by feeling the stones, has issued thousands of reforms to protect democracy and human rights, as persevering as Kemal's revolution.

"My friend's wife expected that she would die one day, and finally died that day without warning." The long night was long, and there were countless topics to pass the time. Why did Nast care about his friend's dead wife? The well-informed doctor Simon was a little at a loss. The plateau is speechless, the forest is bleak, and the leaves flying under the headlights are shining with golden luster. Here, the long and silent shots are dignified and gorgeous, showing the charm of Ceylon's images of dumping all living beings: while exploring the truth of death, while at the same time It is the inner pain and the questioning of the past.

The apples that fell from the hillside fell into the ditch, maybe they were picked up, maybe they just rot. I suddenly realized that the "Once Upon a Time" and endless memorable "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia" may be the best movie of 2011. The emotional fluctuations of every scene and character are so moving. The self-flowing water seems to imply that the corpse and the fate of Nast’s friend’s wife: no one cares why the apple leaves the branch, who knows why and how you died?

"The butcher thinks of meat, and the lamb is afraid of the knife." The soldiers worried about crossing into the military restricted area. Sergeant Naxi was under pressure from Nast and his wife complained. The suspect Kenan drank too much wine and forgot to bury him. The exact location of the corpse, where is that damn poplar tree? After tossing for most of the night, the hero still ran away in vain. The furious Naxi punched and kicked Kenan. Nastor hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Do you know the new regulations for investigation? Just like us, we still want to join the European Union?! "The

exhausted group of people came to the village chief's house to hit the tip and were warmly treated. The village chief has the problems of the village chief, and the village chief’s daughter Simi Lai has an incredible and otherworldly beauty, as if the creator's comfort to the sufferings of the world. The master’s lens is so awesome, without saying a word, full of love: everyone else is tea, but Kenan's brother (one of the suspects) gets a can of Coke, Simila’s kindness of heart and keenness of observation are all in utterance. . Kenan, sleepy and ashen-hearted, couldn't help but start sobbing. A glimpse was enough to hurt his heart and lungs: all the good things in life are about to be gone, there is no room for recovery, so that hallucinations appear, and the dead Asa sits vividly. In front of him.

"Living like a mouse, and dying like a mouse." Asa is not so innocent, and Kenan is also pitiful. The former's son is actually the latter's biological son. Naxi, who forbids the suspect from smoking, took the initiative to light a cigarette and stuff it into Kenan's mouth. At dawn, Asa's pet dog, who appeared in the prologue, is guarding a field, indicating that the owner is nearby. The excavated body was tied into a zongzi shape, and Naxi was furious: "People are dead, why are they tied up like this? You beastly bastard!" When drafting the on-site investigation report, Nast said, "Dead Looks exactly like Clark Gable", I want to relax, do you want to relax? Is Kenan binding the corpse really because the car is too small to fit?

The film takes the trouble to explain the formation process of the on-site investigation report and the autopsy report. It aims to reveal that goodwill will also drive people to cover up the truth: considering the soldier’s situation, it would be harmless for Nast to change the location of the burial without incident; the assistant repeatedly reminded the autopsy to show The deceased was buried alive, and Simon, who had only the orphan and the widow in his eyes, turned a deaf ear. He opened his eyes to speak nonsense to reduce Kenan’s guilt, so that once his son solved the mystery of his life experience, he would feel better. His father did not lose his conscience. .

The "friend's wife" is actually Nast's wife. Because she lost her body after drinking, her heartbroken wife committed suicide as punishment; Simon opened the photo of his ex-wife as soon as he went back. What kind of love and hatred do they have? The so-called running water does not compete first, the masters are competing for internal strength. Ceylon's lens closely follows the rhythm of life and nature, and the veil of the past is looming, like the faint fragrance and sorrow of the apple that is drifting with the flow. (Xinmin Weekly)

    After re-blinking on the big screen, I felt that I was narrow-minded before, and Venus should have a five-star level when he connected his arm. When I think about the broken arm in "The Wild Pear Tree" being thrown into the water, I die of laughter. // It seems that the whole article is left blank, but in fact I see that my information is overloaded. After reviewing the previous details, one by one confirms that the things in mind are indeed very enjoyable, but is this precision the arm that Venus should have removed?

    Rating: B+ [2011]-Cannes Film Festival Jury Award Ceylon is more restrained than his past works, giving up the urge to tell stories outwards, and the exploration of human nature inward. What he provides is only a fragment of life, and the fragment is exactly the whole of life we ​​can see.
