Three monkeys movie

Rinkbong, Review Stream, 12 February 2009


The film won the Cannes Film Festival last year for best director, several friends said such awards are granted, the reasons for the “three monkeys” to the family story with personal style perfectly packaged together. I also wonder why this “packaging” rather than “portfolio”, a large reason may lie in changes Ceylan not done at one go. “Three monkeys” not as complete with the mature, some people have criticized its lack of drama, but this is already the theater of conflict Ceylan works one of the strongest. As a director in the period of rise, Ceylan visited twice on easy access to Cannes FIPRESCI recognition and pursuit, Cannes will not miss the opportunity to praise.

Ceylan has the advantage of being a movie Meng screen, the audience quickly understands that shooting techniques such as photography, sound and other aspects of treatment, there is no life-long pursuit, is for less than this, such as heavy and steady. Light changes, the choice of seats, the so-called realm of Virtuoso is not pressure, but to lead the audience into the film space, in which deep Baptist.

Little analysis of the “three monkeys” What are the changes: The first is the nature of a social news of the family drama, what is the community news? Involves the political and legal prison, the audience needs a little adventure to look at the story of vision, often is the “social news” precursor film. Ceylan’s previous film is the father, the growth of husband and wife as well as urbanization, and so the need for emotional investment in the film, it can be said may not get to see. “Three monkeys” is different, saying that a murder of a two ordinary viewers will be realized, the original just middling. The suspense, but after all, is the suspense.

Secondly, Ceylan moved a group of professional actors, is no longer a family friend Qi previous battle. Most non-professional actors can not be over-dramatic performance brought about by emotional responses, such as the fate of love to express a single abstract emotion, divorced from real life that many can not match with height. Wrapped around the boss that his wife died, cloud top pressure and body with intense conflict with really little tune. “Three monkeys” in a professional actor to play a little, it will bring about speech, “and” a feeling.

Finally, there is the film where a family house, there is the appearance of display, there is room distribution, from start to finish every sense of the director stressed that the existing entities in the past, Ceylan works not so dependent on an environmental space. The house edge on the railroad tracks, and then out of the road, Then coast. Ming through the living room window, you can see the blue sea. “Three monkeys”, through different camera angles of this building suggest the direction the old house, near the schools there may be something. House is a symbol of the family, it is not closed, there will always receive some information about the surrounding environment, can hear the trains passing through the voices of children shouting, volatile weather conditions can also income eyes, as the family continued by the impact of external events.

“Three monkeys” title from the ancient Oriental proverb, three did not look, do not listen, do not speak monkey action, and its provenance is “The Analects of Confucius” in the “not as indecent assault, indecent assault not to listen to, indecent assault not words. ” If someone must be home with three the number of monkeys also not be affected much, but this is not laughing at them like monkeys with the ridiculous, but they were guilty of “three no” one, such as mother’s son should not see the facts one wishes to hide . 3 and counting, that is, family members thought it was something fishy about a bad attack, can only pretend that nothing happened posture, until the tragedy. However at the end did not lead to an even more painful the facts, because the ghost of hallucinations occurred several times - that is, another son. The reason why this house is not normal, we can see many years later they are still not out of another shadow.

To look at something more than anecdotal audience, the “three monkeys” as a “story will be” in short, the theme is not, not deep. Ceylan with Oriental culture in order to resolve the emotional conflicts of a family film has nothing to do in Turkey into the conflict on the common, away from Asia to join the EU, after all, Ceylan emotions always tend to orient more. He works to change the home, about family, urbanization effects on people, it would cover the true personal feelings, but also the East over the past few decades in developed countries often do not touch the theme of the times.

Ceylan common facial features,space and atmosphere mirror lens to reflect the character’s heart, especially the changes in the weather. All films at the end, there will be an expression of character features, it is unclear why the early doubts and sleep safely. Several recent works include “three monkeys” People are watching, without exception, the vast unknown distance, as if there were more beautiful life, love and family, and that is their way to it?
