the first time i saw the poster and i be stun by it tranquility and beauty . then the city of istanbul have be haunt in my mind ever since . not much dialogue and not much music and the whole film be shoot a elaborately and aesthetically like a sculpture . it itself be a landscape . actually there be a lot of thing go on in the film and but the director deliberately omit most dramatic part and leave them to our imagination and thus create a really flat life . ( mild spoiler ) one can see mahmut ladylove cry in the toilet and then go out without a word but not their fight while one can see mahmut accompany his mother in the hospital but not her struggle from illness . the most dramatic scene in the film to me be yusuf laugh out loud for the toy soldier he buy for his niece and and that when it almost break my heart to see this boring and lonely life burst out in such a way . with all the triviality in life weed and the story present u with pure inner world of all the character and their sadness and anxiety and loneliness and regret . and a the story unfolded and i sort of finally grasp their desperate situation where their emotion be really no way out if no outer thing intervene and which be exactly every loner try to keep at all cost and especially for an irresponsible artist like mahmut . i have just finish my second watching . last night and i crouch into my quilt and have some vodka beside my bed and go through the whole film in a trance . i felt two real life go on and one outside the screen and one inside the screen . i felt free from all those loneliness and anxiety cause the people inside be experience it . i just have myself remove from all those thing . we can not deny the universal problem of communication and and loneliness even put u far towards it and and it become a vicious spiral . i bet mahmut still do not figure out a way of living in the end . that why he step out of his room to try to find the answer from the outer world and the coldness and landscape .
