Hello, hello everyone, today Xiaobian recommends a Turkish movie to everyone, called Lonely Fangxin.
This is a love film released in Turkey in 2008, with a lamentable emotional experience of the male and female protagonists, which truly reflects the living conditions and emotional entanglements of urban men and women in modern society.
The male protagonist, Albert, was born in a farming family, and through hard work and enthusiasm for food, he had a good career in the bustling city of Istanbul.
As the owner and chef, he successfully runs a high-end restaurant, and on the surface, he is young and sunny, dedicated to his work, and his life is dissipated, but every night he lives a chaotic and debauched life.
Albert has no friends, no love is born lonely, he is always haunted at night, borrowing other people's bodies to meet his own physical needs, but he is an asshole who never leaves any woman by his side for the night.
As his mother described it, he was a book together, didn't like to be too close to others, and didn't want anyone to enter his life, until one day he met the heroine of the film, Ida.
Ida likes to collect second-hand books, much like Albert's favorite vinyl records, and they meet in a second-hand bookstore.
Albert fell in love with Ida at first sight and launched a passionate pursuit of her, and although Ida understood the routine of this love from the beginning, she finally fell under Albert's charm attack.
The plot of the first half of the film can be guessed by everyone, the two from acquaintance to love, there are not too many twists and turns, the audience is addicted to it, because the film narrates this romantic and real, gentle and moving.
Coupled with the actor's delicate interpretation of the role, as well as the slow introduction of exotic Turkish food and music, the viewing process is not boring.
Here the director also gave several detailed hints, such as after the first sweetness, the male protagonist was insomnia because he was not used to Ada sleeping next to him.
For example, the indifference to Ida the next morning, such as walking with Ida on the bustling street, not knowing how to communicate with her in any tone, and even trying to run away after Ida fell asleep to find her old lover.
All of this implies that the male protagonist has anxiety and discomfort about the sudden intrusion into his life, and the visit of the mother later becomes the fuse that triggers this anxiety and discomfort.
Albert's old friend got married, invited his mother to the city to officiate, and there was an extra person in the house, which made Albert, who had always been accustomed to being alone, feel even more crowded.
Every day he had to listen to his mother's nagging about all kinds of small things, arrange a trip in the city for her mother, and negotiate with Ida how to allocate time.
From a loner who doesn't have to worry about others at all, to someone who has to put a lot of time and energy into his family and loved ones, this terrible experience makes Albert begin to re-examine his future and Ida's future.
This morning, Ida sat at the table, eating a pie while happily following Albert's childhood fun. Albert leaned against the wall and stared at Ida, and suddenly he said, Let's break up.
Ida looked up at Albert for a long time, and this turn was unexpected and unexpected for her.
She had long been aware of Albert's loneliness, but unfortunately he thought that he could heal it, that he could melt him, and that she had long been mentally prepared to face this result. But when that moment really came, it was still so unacceptable.
She began to laugh, she began to cry, she began to be hysterical, and her heart was like broken glass shattered to the ground.
Ida finally said with tears, you are surrounded by ice and snow, about to be frozen to death, the scene feels good, but you will die without knowing it, their love ended abruptly, and there has been no contact since.
Albert returned to his lonely but free life, thinking he could forget Ida as he had forgotten any other woman. As everyone knows, one morning, he accidentally found a hairpin left by Ada, and instantly sadness came from it, tearing his heart and lungs.
Five years later, Albert and Ida reunited in the cinema, and time passed, and the two of them said painless greetings, said insincere words, smiled goodbye, and then couldn't help but turn around and hug each other here.
The director arranged a large inner monologue for the two people who are still in love, and it is these two monologues that poke at everyone's tears, so that every audience who sees here is lost in their hearts, which is also the most touching and tear-inducing part of the movie. Rest assured, Douban scored 8.6 points, claiming to be better than 96% of love movies.
In fact, it does not jump out of the plot of ordinary love movies, but just changes an entry point to explore the lonely men, lonely women and lonely us in the modern bustling city from another perspective.
It must be some aspect of the film that resonates with us, although perhaps this resonance cannot even be found by us, as Albert's mother said, this kind of big city always gives people an illusion.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, people don't realize loneliness, and certainly don't give the film a perfect ending.
It is regrettable that the two are separated after marriage, but it is this treatment that makes the film appear more profound and moving.
Love stories are played out around us all the time, he exists, but there will not be so much beauty in life, and some people miss it is a lifetime.
Today's movie ends here, see you next issue.
