Anatolia

In Once Upon a Time on Anatolia, a film directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan, we see many motifs that indicate true human nature. Viewers are moved by the realness of the characters and how they can relate to us. From men being distracted by women, to showing the basic human instinct of self-preservation, this film shows us that no matter where you come from, everyone is similar. This movie expresses many aspects of human emotion and human nature, some more outright than others. One of the scenes that shows this the most is when the prosecutor and doctor are talking about the woman who killed herself soon after the birth of her child.

The first is how jealous and spiteful people can be. After learning her husband cheated on her, she told him that she was fine with it, but in reality was…

Now believed to be an elaborate calendar and astronomical device, the Antikythera Mechanism harbours its mystery within its intricate inner…

Once Upon a Time in Anatolia Rose-tinted Truth and Women Suppression Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s masterpiece Once Upon a Time in Anatolia employs metaphysics to show the transformation of men upon truly discovering themselves. On the surface, it appears to be about the search for a dead body to incriminate a criminal. However, implicitly, it is about the men’s suppressed regret and melancholy, especially with respect to women, and the effect of those emotions on the psyche of the group over the period…
