The wild pear tree is unremarkable and no one cares; even though it is out of tune with the surrounding, it still grows alone and stubbornly. That is the father who once fascinated his mother with his scholarly temperament and then was not understood by others. It was a hometown that had a splendid civilization as a battleground for the military but is now riddled with holes. Finally, the protagonist finds that his character and destiny are also reflected in this way: after experiencing the bureaucracy of the mayor, the hypocrisy of the businessman, the contempt of the writer, and the selfishness of the priest, the father who he despises the most is the one who understands and supports him the most. people, and how much more noble than these people is their pretentious business of stealing dogs for money? Fortunately, he did not finally choose to be stubborn and bow his head like his father did, but (in his mind) hanged the young literary and artistic young man who talked about his pretentiousness and resolutely completed his father's unfinished business. At least at that moment, he was proud to be the wild pear tree he wrote.
PS: The ruins of the ancient city of Troy in Greek mythology are actually in Canakkale Province, Turkey, which is the filming location of this film and the hometown of the director’s father.
PPS: This is probably the first Turkish movie I've seen. I met this famous Cannes director who let the characters chat about their lives for half an hour without a word.
