Climates (2006)
9/10
perfection
13 October 2006
I saw climates yesterday at the NY film festival.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan is a director who uses himself or his relatives to act in his own movies. In Climates he(Nuri Bilge Ceylan) and his real life wife (Ebru Ceylan) are the main characters and his mother and father are his real life parents as well. In his role, he is a professor at a university and his wife is in visual arts. During their trip in Kas which is a very hot place located in southern Turkey these two fall out and their conversations almost come to an end in this hot climate.This not sharing much leads up to the husband asking for their separation.As they got back the regret the husband feels takes him to find his wife with a crew she was working with in the beautiful but very cold and snowy city of Agri located in Eastern Turkey.The climate changes and so does their minds..

This movie is more of analyzing the relationships between people. His success comes from how he could reflect the depth of his characters and their emotions and minds with very little conversation.Nuri Bilge Ceylan's style is based on a strong plot. He focuses more on human relations with very little happening around them but more importantly what is happening inside of them and between them. I enjoyed every second of the movie with curiosity.I recommend this movie highly.

Magnolia (1999)
10/10
this is a real life drama-not to make you cry but to make you think.

Warning: Spoilers
This movie has changed my life. I don't remember myself ever watching a movie for 3 hours and watching every second of it holding my breath-even on the second time that I watch it.This is a real life drama not to make you cry but to make you think. The acting, the scenes, the atmosphere, the spirit. It just feels like life- nothing unreal about it. It has changed my life cause I realized strange things do happen in life but that you should take them lightly and just say ''this happens''. You can only understand what that means only after you watch this amazing movie. I really don't understand how it can't win all the awards of the year that it was nominated-cause it deserves it all-congratulations to Paul Thomas Anderson and to its wonderful actors that helped him put it all together...
