Bir Baskadir (2020)
A wannabe oriental misinterpretation
It's really hard to come up with this wrong perspective to your own culture. I gave two points for this amazing mistake. The director and the script writer, basically everyone in the show deliberately misleads people about the facts. We don't usually expect facts from tv shows but this show is acclaimed for portraying "truth" for a culture. It ends up with portraying a capitalist exploitive class of movie producers that has been a fact in the modern world. A class of movie producers that will shoot anything for social reactions, benefits and as a result, money. This tv show makes an intentional exaggeration of cultural differences on a sensitive issue, thus making gain from the tension for the expense of reality. The disgusting part is, the crew reflected their own worldview as factually sound. They're fooling western people with an obsolete orientalism in the same way they exploit reactionist social media groups that is ready to touch on the sensitive issues with radical approaches.
Mustang (2015)
Oriental Teen Legs
You'll see an orientalist Turkish director who alienates her surroundings to be seen positive in the west. And she knows sex sells.
This movie is about sex, and white washing the western culture of sexism. You got it when politicians like European Union staff honors such a movie. Politicians ain't love art, they use it.
This film makes western people proud by telling that only east has gender problem which is falsified by the film itself by showing a lot of teen legs to make it watchable.
No art, no objectivism, a lot of sexism by the sexists.
Dag II (2016)
A Nation is Being Sincere
You can say this film is about Turkish army, but it's about our future. Our future is displayed through Turks. You can see Turkey as a window to human playground, Middle East. Middle East is a projection of our forthcoming. These events, these brutal acts of humanity is being our destiny. This movie points us our shame in a fashion of objectivity. The director saw the news which consists of Muslims killing each other, and needed an eye inside. This eye is a secular army and free from foreign influences. You can empathize with this Turkish soldiers. You can take this squad as your eyes. They're observing the Middle East tragedy, suitable to common sense. A common sense that says killing, raping, oppressing people won't be limited to this geoghraphy. We're human, but together. We're alive, but together. Don't let anyone to oppress the living things.
Kis Uykusu (2014)
A Philosophical Inquiry of Human Relations
NBC, the director is an engineer and philosopher of axiology. His technical skill is gifted with an artistic approach. He's not directing, he's mastering his thoughts on screen. This film tells a story about values, relations, customs, behaviours and simply "human things." It's a little bit long but it's also part of the story. You have fun in life, as well as boredom. You have time, as well as a need of time continuously. A moment may be too long but life may come short. We're not satisfied with what we have. Time is an example of this valuation. Time is a measure of our relativity. Winter Sleep demonstrates this in an artistic way. If you're a kind of curious, you'll ask some questions when the film is over. Human relations will be a philosophical opportunity. You'll enjoy bounding ties between relations and relativity.
Bad Cat (2016)
A Different Perspective of "Animation"
Animals as we see in the Hollywood movies, presented human-like nowadays. Why isn't there any realistic "animation"? Animals ain't polite or save the world for a week. They mind their own business. Like the Bad Cat minds its own fish and booze. A definite thing about this movie is its diversity. There is an assumption that animals talk, this is animational constant. But their speech differs in this movie. It's fun to see cats swearing and yelling in the city. They're not bound to humans. Especially cats, as they domesticated spontaneously, because of mutual needs with men, shouldn't be presented as dependent toys. They'd always find a way through. This movie is about finding way for fun. Have fun.
Duvar (1983)
Exploiting a Need
Prisons, governments, authorities needs criticizing. The place where the film starts is awesome. But when it comes going down the road, it looks weird. It seems exploiting the political situation. At that time, the military government was bad. Expressing it is a service to humanity. However, creating hostility from it, is wrong as military authority. Each scene embodies a needling. For example, children are beaten, behind, the wife has been cheating on her husband, and they're sent to death sentence. Showing the Atatürk's words: Republic will glorify you. Immediately some kiddings about god, the nation and morality. They can do it all. All criticism is vital for living. Although, when you add them all together, it's not doing anything but hostility. Attacking something with art is ugly as crime. I wish, film told the story of teens struggle to survive under hideous conditions at prison, as synopsis said.
After the Dark (2013)
Are you Philosopher
Come on people, all of you are philosophers but not films'? They'retrying to apply philosophy. It's a voluntary favor. Matrix is awesome because it has action and this one isn't i don't understand. How many philosophical films do you know ? It's one of them. There are students, students movies ain't good. Maybe the end isn't good but who cares. It's making philosophy. What is life? Why do we live? How do we live and how life should be? Many philosophy students will read this film. A lot of people will wonder paradoxes, survivals, philosophical teorems. It's talking about thought. Not some bikini girls. Instead of watching you should think this film.
