Being a George Miller movie, longing for three thousand years Tom Holkenborg, also known as Junkie XL, also throbs with Gole’s music, the man behind the flame-throwing guitar riffs mad max fury road,
Based on the 1994 short story by AS Byte the genie in the nightingale’s eyeThe film tells of Alithia (Tilda Swinton), who comes to Istanbul for a convention. Alithia leaves a genie (Idris Elba) in her hotel room as she cleans up a bottle found at the Grand Bazaar.
The genie, like all his ilk in the stories, grants Alithea three wishes in exchange for freedom. Alithia being a storyteller who studies fiction and the science of stories, she would have none of it. As she reminds Genie, all wish stories are cautionary tales.
Both talk about stories and their history. Alithea was an only child who made an imaginary friend, while the genie was bottle-fed three times for love. Once when the Queen of Sheba (Amito Lagum) chooses King Solomon over herself, a second time when a palace maid wants to get a prince to love her, and a third time when a young wife (Berku Golgedar) takes care of her situation. Tries to avoid knowledge.
Like the story of Byte, longing for three thousand years Looks at fables and fantasies through a modern lens. The film gleefully scatters across a variety of sources: one thousand and one nightGeoffrey Chaucer, and the myth of the Anatolian mother goddess Cybele.
After all, it’s a story of stories. Alithia lives in Agatha Christie’s room, room 411, at the Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul. The story goes that Christie wrote the popular detective novel, Murder on the Orient Express (1934) In the same room. For around €500 a night, you can feel like Hercule Poirot at the Tocatlion Hotel.
The modern world coexists with the fable and Albert Einstein is the shoe equivalent of today’s genie in a bottle on a television. The electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere for many of our tools and equipment are not so good for the genie, even though he promises Alithea that he will adapt.
longing for three thousand years, with its brilliant imagery and sound, reminiscent of Baz Luhrmann’s Red Curtain trilogy and the early Tarsem Singh, is the right kind of narrative to lose yourself in. This swoon-worthy romance between space and time is the icing on the cake. Rather, the ideal shot of Turkish coffee; Dark as night and sweet as sin.
