Loneliness or Sexual Disorder——Turkish film "Lonely Heart"

There is no doubt that this is a fascinating movie. Many beautiful but unpretentious lines. (But the protagonist’s mother’s lines are so powerful that I feel like a country poet and sage came to Istanbul in a daze.)

Aside from these mentions, I want to talk about the core words of the play: Alone, loneliness. If you only use loneliness as the most fundamental reason for the development of the plot, you will find that it doesn't make sense at all, and it's too far-fetched.

The protagonist’s mother came to the place where her son lived and saw his beautiful girlfriend, she was overjoyed and had mixed feelings. At this time, she said something meaningful: He had been afraid of busy places since he was a child, hiding in his own room, not talking, and sometimes getting very grumpy. On the surface, this is still talking about loneliness, and it is traced back to the root of childhood, indicating that this is a long-standing temperament problem. What the mother said is also reflected in the repeated loss of control behind the actor: the silence of the active and talkative mother in the restaurant at the beginning, and then the eruption after the mother missed the tableware; the dodge and evasion of the wedding scene responds to this The thing is, after the first taste of the sweetness of love with the heroine, the woman's desire for stability and control slips out of the heroine's mouth from time to time, and the hero is very, very resistant. This is very cryptic, but it is completely understandable.

There is also an inexplicable plot interspersed: in front of my mother, I said three times in a row: too difficult, too difficult, too difficult.
After breaking up unexpectedly, there is so much attachment and nostalgia.

A logic that barely makes sense is: He is lonely by nature. In his words, he does not allow others to enter his life, and he does not want to be part of other people's lives.

But another narrative thread that is likely to be overlooked by us as the narrative background is the dazzling sex life of the male protagonist. What is more special is the 3P with two men participating in the beginning. The male protagonist’s online chat line is: My only condition is that I don’t have oral sex, and everything else is fine. This shows that physical contact with men is within the scope of his sexual intercourse; there is another point worth noting: Lonita is waiting for him to SM in bed. From this we can understand the words that the actor said in the vulgar breakup plot and breakup lines: You are the only bright spot in my life. ——This actually means that the heroine inspires the only period in his life that can be described as normal love and sex in the eyes of the world.

Why is his loneliness inherent? Why did he realize his deep love for the heroine but still return to loneliness? Because the heroine told him that she was married and showed him the photo? I have doubts about this plot, because it is very likely that it was her close friend’s wallet, the close friend’s daughter, and what she described was also her close friend’s life. As she said: You have been borrowing other people's stories, other people's lives, other people's sons...what did he get up in the middle of the night and run towards? He finally lay back tiredly by the heroine's side again, what was the struggle that made him sleepy? It is his sexual disorder, his innate sexual disorder. And he has been aware of this since he was a child, so he "has no childhood". And his mother said to the girl, "Don't leave him," "It will cost a lot", and the message revealed by these words is: his mother may know this. So she was uneasy but silently facing her son's irritability, accepting the fact that after many years, his son had not returned to his hometown to take a look.

For this man, the city is really the best place to live.

I like this movie because it resembles a detective novel.

    The first 90% of the homework + 10% of the ending is amazing, making this ordinary romance movie. "In my mind, I woven a story about you, and I added a happy ending to it. I sat in the room with you on my knees, and you sat silently next to me. That is the end. It is another kind. Life, only you and me... We should be like that, our story is somewhere, and it will always be with me, because only in this way can I live."

Alone quotes

  • Ada: Sleep seems so sweet but you don't realize you've died.

  • Alper: Ada... I want to break up.

    Ada: I'm thinking why I'm not in the slightest bit surprised. Huh? I knew actually. I mean, I tried not to scare you but I imagine it was a waste of time. But why do people cry so much over things they already know. Right? Well, OK. I won't cry. Why did you run after me then so persistently? Huh? Why? You knew it wouldn't work, you knew you couldn't do it. So why?
