    The Hope
    His movies achieved to present details as the well-oriented that come from real Turkish and Kurdish living conditions. As an audience, you are surrounded strikingly by the plot while watching his movies. The feeling is much different than watching an ordinary movie behind the screen. However, I think the main characteristic of his work is not to hesitate to reveal the drama that people are often confronted with intense emotions. The movies produced all of the scenes as real and solid due to block the watchers who prevented by themselves from the real world.This is the just another typical feature of his movies.

    He is very good at analyzing Turkish people traits and how to touch their cultural attachments via harsh reality. Without a doubt, he has been the first and the most profound writer of neo-realistic stories and the legendary figure of the controversial filmmaker in the Turkish Film Industry all times.
