User Reviews

Useful movie to fight drugs

The very problem with the drugs is, that people think it is a toy. They play and leave. But in fact it isn't that way.

That's why these movies are useful. Because the only way to fight drugs, is to arouse a consciousness in the society about them. Otherwise there will be more and more victims. People are weak when it comes to such things.

Drug business is related to power and you cannot expect, that this specific field would be ignored by people who seek power.

On the other hand, the movie criticizes the global popular culture which is misleading and misguiding young generations in all over the world. Their way of "fun" is like alcohol, drugs and sexual relations. It is degenerating and destroying the essence of the society. This process can be observed in many countries, not only in Turkiye.
