Netflix is really fragrant, who uses who knows.
Not only did we see many excellent British and American dramas, Japanese and Korean dramas.
You can also dig out some treasures from some relatively unpopular countries.
It not only broadens our horizons, but also increases our knowledge, and it can also improve our compulsion.
Wouldn't it be beautiful!
Uncle Fish likes to find some unpopular dramas on Netflix from time to time to see.
I have also pushed Israeli dramas, German dramas and so on.
Today, Amway is an unpopular Turkish drama.
Although there are very few people who have seen it, those who have seen it are all said to be good.
Between word of mouth, on the Douban network, it has been maintained at more than 9 points ——
Meet Istanbul
<h1 style="text-align: center;"> Is Another</h1>
Istanbul, a historic city, a tourist attraction.
If it weren't for the current epidemic delay, Uncle Yu would also like to find an opportunity to play.
"Meet Istanbul" slightly satisfies some of the regrets that I did not have the opportunity to travel.
This is a drama about the lives of ordinary local people.
A total of 8 episodes, currently in Douban as high as 9.2.
For this drama, just for the photography, it is very worth watching.
On the one hand, it is due to the exquisite composition and color scheme, and on the other hand, it also benefits from the unique atmosphere of Turkey.
On hand is a poetic and timeless oil painting.
Minute by minute makes one think that you are watching the works of the Turkish film master Ceylon.
Can't help but be amazed, even making a TV series, straight to the level of Cannes art films.
Advanced, is advanced.
Ceylon directorial work "Wild Pear Tree"
And the content of this drama is even more simple and charming.
It's like tasting a cup of oolong milk lid on a warm winter day.
Fresh, intense and never greasy.
The protagonists of this play are three completely different women.
The story begins with a psychological consultation.
On this day, the consultation room welcomed a special patient.
She is said to be special because this patient is very traditional.
The head is wrapped in a turban, tight and solid.
Maria
The patient's name was Maria and he was from the countryside.
She came here because she had fainted in accidents many times before.
The other doctors did not detect any physical abnormalities, so they referred her to perry, a psychiatrist.
Perry
At first, the counseling seemed smooth.
Mary harped on about everything around her:
Brother's work, sister-in-law's body, self-made coffee...
Until the topic suddenly stopped at a man named "Mr. Sinan".
When Perry wanted to inquire more deeply, the other party changed the subject again and again.
Finally, Mary grew impatient.
She reprimanded Perry and left the counseling room.
But Mary finally confided in herself about Mr. Sinan.
It turned out that she had to go to Mr. Sinan's house every week to clean up.
The last time I went to work, I found a pair of women's panties under the bed.
As a conservative woman, she felt very angry.
About a few hours later, Maria hitched a ride back home.
Perry walked into another counseling room.
It turned out that Perry, as a psychologist, had been doing psychotherapy himself.
The person who consulted for Perry was called Gubillin.
This is also the third heroine of the play.
Gubillin
In front of Gublin, Perry confided his true thoughts.
From a wealthy family, she studied abroad and received higher education.
After returning to China, he worked as a psychologist, and the first patient he saw was Maria.
While patients are encouraged to speak their minds in their entirety, there is actually no sympathy.
She could not understand at all that a Turk like Maria was old-fashioned, conservative and backward.
"She said she was going to ask the wise man, it was amazing."
In the evening, Gu Bilin came to his lover's house, but his heart was still pondering what Perry said during the day.
She is a Kurd.
Past experiences have led to a growing distrust of traditional religions.
In fact, the free-spirited Gu bilin also dislikes Perry and resents her sense of superiority.
He also complained to his lover.
Lovers always take it all in.
But he didn't really care about Gu Bilin either.
In fact, he only cares about one question:
Will Gubiling stay overnight?
Gu Bilin could not resist the temptation of his lover.
Irritable, she also longs for someone to accompany her.
So, that night was left behind.
Early the next morning, the maid came into the house to clean up.
The maid was none other than Mary.
Gublin's lover turned out to be Mr. Sinan, who made Mary panic.
Maria, Perry, Gubiling.
Three women from different worlds were thus connected.
The three female protagonists, each with their own troubles.
Perry was the best off and never experienced any major hardships.
She studied hard for six years before she got the job as a psychologist.
But the heavy books taught her knowledge, but they did not teach her the most important quality of the psychiatrist: empathy.
She can quickly find the cause.
But all she cares about is the disease itself, and she is indifferent to the patient's real troubles.
Such Perry, cold and mean, is annoying.
Like her always meticulously tied hair, it lacks human touch.
But perry, on the other hand, is also hungry for care in his heart.
Always alone, she is tired of working alone in a small room, and then fixing the days of fitness and yoga.
What Perry really wants is to be "loved."
This was seen through by the equally intelligent Gu Bilin.
Perry has become accustomed to closing his heart.
And the lively and clever Maria just broke Perry's boring routine.
She does not resent Perry's unkindness, and even reciprocates with kindness at every turn.
Mary believed in her and liked to talk to her, saying "sister" in one sentence.
Time and time again, he even found opportunities to stick to perry's treatment.
Over time, it was Perry, as a doctor, whose heart was opened first.
She had always been restrained, and for the first time, she unloaded her burden and cried a lot.
Mary always wrapped herself in a turban and a turtleneck coat, wrapping herself tightly.
This shows that she is a traditional and conservative person.
However, Although Mary was not highly educated, she was not an ignorant religious believer.
Perry admits that she is a clever and clever person.
She believes in the "wise men" (regional religious elders), but also has her own judgments.
For example, when I do psychotherapy, I have never confessed to the "wise man".
Not only that, but Mary also has a little secret.
That is, she actually secretly likes to hire her own Mr. Sinan.
In order to attract Mr. Sinan's attention, she also secretly put a turban of her own in Mr. Sinan's house.
However, Maria and Mr. Sinan are bound to be fruitless.
She chose the township youth that suited her better.
Although the township youth was shy and not handsome enough, he was very protective of Mary.
Compared to him, Mr. Sinan was like a wind that could never be caught.
Mary's love story is like a green apple, sour, but somewhat sweet.
The director used this role to portray a new generation of township youth in Turkey.
They came from towns to cities, shocked by modern secular ideas.
While conservative ideas won't be abandoned immediately, change is quietly happening.
Gublin, on the other hand, is a bit like a combination of Perry and Mary.
She is as intelligent as Perry and as reasonable as Maria.
However, she also has her own troubles.
It was no one else who made her miserable, it was her own sister.
My sister is a very sincere religious believer.
The two people usually do not get along well, and the brother's illness aggravates this contradiction.
Faced with their seriously ill brother, the sisters have completely different perspectives.
Gu Bilin thought that he must follow the doctor's instructions and drink medicine, but his sister thought that the hospital was unreliable.
The two argued over this, and even fought a lot.
Behind the dispute, there are deep historical reasons.
That is, they Kurds, who were once very badly pit by the Turkish authorities.
After waking up, her sister gave up her religious beliefs.
Secularized, she can drink, exercise, find lovers, and has a very dashing attitude towards life.
The conservative sister has a deep prejudice against her sister.
In her eyes, her sister is a wayward and unmarried person.
Receiving acceptance and recognition from her sister has always been Gu Bilin's deepest wish.
Unfortunately, the gap between the two sisters is growing and it is difficult to reconcile.
I have to say that this is a series with a very rich theme.
Ostensibly, it speaks to the plight and reconciliation of women in different social contexts.
Deep in the depths, it also depicts the difficult problem of balancing religious ethics and secular concepts.
As Perry says in the play —
Different groups of people in Turkish society seem to live in completely different worlds.
Between them, it is incomprehensible and difficult to identify.
We can both see deep-rooted Muslim culture.
Simple and religious, closed and conservative.
It can also be seen that modern life is getting new with each passing day.
Fashionable and rebellious, ostentatious and indulgent.
It is hard to imagine that these are all part of Turkey.
In the play, there is a very special character - "Wise Man".
In Mary's mouth, he was a solemn, wise, upright elder.
In fact, he does not appear to be on top of the play, but is a cleric close to life.
He would play a little clever, and use the same words and ways to deal with the two Mary brothers and sisters.
He would use the believers to help him repair the car.
But wise men can also be devastated by the sudden death of their wives.
He will treat his adopted daughter as his own and work hard to raise her.
The director uses this role to show that the "wise man" is not perfect.
Like everyone else, he also has to experience the bittersweet and bittersweet of life.
Even if the wise man always speaks philosophical words to others, he also knows that religious beliefs do not solve all problems in life.
There is another poor woman in the play, Maria's sister-in-law.
She suffered from severe depression from rape and has been in a trance state of mind.
But in the isolated countryside, no one knew what had happened to her.
Brother Maria was a grumpy and irritable person, which made her sister-in-law's condition even worse.
When the sister-in-law became ill, the brother would only yell and intensify the contradiction.
As a result, the sister-in-law could only hit her head against the wall to vent, and even cut her wrist several times.
Like this, I don't know how many other "crazy" women are hiding in the corners of the countryside.
This also reflects the emotional repression of people in backward rural areas from the side.
Yes, "emotional repression" is actually the theme of the whole play.
You may say that this is all a problem brought about by the conservative religion and the backwardness of the countryside.
Let's look again at the secularized middle class living in the big cities.
Perry is equally unable to express happiness or sadness.
She received a modern higher education, mastered advanced scientific knowledge, and even traveled to many countries to broaden her horizons.
But as a psychologist, I still can't cure my heart disease.
And Gu Bilin, who seems to be dashing and casual, has always been unable to overcome the obstacles in his heart.
What she did was more like an escape and rebellion against her sister's prejudices.
Instead of finding the freedom that truly belongs to you.
This is Istanbul, an old and new city.
But such misfortune does not exist here alone.
History and development, villages and towns, religion and science, tradition and modernity...
Conceptual contradictions and conflicts seem to be taking place in all corners of the world.
I can't help but think of several impressive transitions in the play:
Ancient temples echo with emerging cranes.
The high-rise buildings in the urban area and the temple towers and electric towers in the countryside are superimposed on each other.
Under the fine taste, it is really delicious.
People always like to materialize the illusions in their hearts into towering buildings.
One is a placebo for consumerist feedback.
One is a refuge given by religious beliefs.
To cling to any of these is simply to close one's heart in a barrier.
Isn't the estrangement between people all caused by this way?
"When emotions are locked up in a cage and do not want to be released, uneasiness also takes root in our hearts."
Life is full of accidents.
If you just blindly suppress your emotions, it will inevitably lead to more contradictions and misfortunes.
Many times, the solution we need is not faith.
It's about opening up and comparing hearts to hearts.
