Another boring work by Tarkovsky fans. To Qifeng said that it "took too much time to talk about too little things", this is not a problem, each director's sense of rhythm is different. So many night shots are stimulated by Mandoza? Audio-visual aspects, as always, intensive and meticulous work. However, this time the dialogue is too much to be a bit deliberate (too much background and various stories), which weakens the power.

The most representative one of Ceylon's works is too sharp forward, and later works are somewhat greasy. A crime movie carries a sense of fatalism and powerlessness that an individual's fate is not attached to. I noticed the little apples rolling down the drain, the wine bottles in the mayor’s yard being blown away by the wind, and the black plastic bags swept by the wind outside the doctor’s window, all resembling the living conditions of several characters. The three vehicles represent public security, criminals, and a corpse. The social attributes and morphological hierarchy of people are not the focus of the movie, and the director has no intention of clarifying the specific details of the crime. A dark night and a day are a clear dividing line, and it is impossible to control fate at dawn. The photography is calm and introverted, and the images are vast and deep, silently watching and contemplating the humanity and spiritual outlook of the land of Asia Minor Plateau. The truth is also cruel. The child threw stones at his biological father, the room was ripped apart by the corpse of the dead man, and outside the window was the noisy children in the playground. It seems that the doctor has accomplished what should be done, but in reality nothing has changed.

In 12 hours, everyone has a history

The child who threw stones at his biological father, punished the prosecutor’s wife with death, the violent police chief who did not want to go home to face his sick son, the criminal who concealed the truth, and the doctor who concealed the cause of death... Still staying after compromising on life Many bitter fruits. Like the apple that was shaken off the tree, it kept rolling, being carried around by external forces, and finally slipped into the ditch. In the oil lamp, the village chief’s four daughters handed black tea to everyone, as beautiful as walking from an oil painting, similar to the beauty of religion, untouchable, frightened, and trembling to make you soft inside and outside. The suspect put down his tight face for the first time, tears streaming down his face. In the end, the blood stains on the doctor's face were not wiped off. Who is the woman in the photo at the table? At the end of the song, the sound of the children playing football is mixed with the sound of autopsy, "It rains, the years pass, we can't change anything." All rigid programming, all the small details, let us feel that it is always in us. Happened around. In this helpless and cruel life, the only comfort is the "beautiful woman" in the film: one is the Virgin who delivers tea in the dark, the other is the wife of the deceased who knows all the truth, the other is the scar in the prosecutor’s statement, the other is The secret in the doctor's photo. A small story can be told in detail for 150 minutes, spreading all kinds of problems and endless reveries. No matter how fast this big country goes, it can't catch up with it, no matter how much it has. The best and best in Ceylon.
