cooler than the coolest
31 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Pity,The main character moves to Istanbul and follows his dream to become a wellknown singer and composer althougt he has to work as a freelance domestic cleaner.He lives in a small flat and he is so helpful and cool.So gentle in helping the neighbor lady to get rid of street dog and also so cool in accompanying one of his client's a nice breeded home dog. To all the victims of the postcapitalist world Being alone and has no power the change the bloody mainstream, is always sexy so he is the master of it.His older clients are also alone but they struggle to reach out of it. Everybody becomes funny like the actor nominees and ping pong players. İt is so pity; I shall despair there is no creature likes me and ıf ı die no soul will pity me...Shakespeare,III.Richard Worth to see more than once till you realize that you are and people around you all victims.

icons of postmodern world ,die!
2 December 2008
Icon 1:Knowledge makes you to get money... See ,lawyer and plastic surgeon ,they are so helpful to their clients. The surgeon says "you can get rid of the fats in thigh region by exercise"Thank you doctor.Misused knowledge can help you to get money then. Icon 2:Training and physical exercise is good for health. It is good for people who can not get rid of the loneliness resulted by failing of new-worker's struggle against to undefined enemy of capitalistic post modern age.Sex is also an other life-vest for an individual fight against degradation of the humanity in which religion is not helps anymore. Analyist is highly aware of the stupidity of these run away techniques of the people whose case ends up with the coma situation.So please be aware about the poor position of the man and unite for creating new ethos based on simple class values.Archaic moral values such as religion ,nationality can not be the base. Icon 3:Modern governmental organizations good for community life. For clearing the bodies ,yes.The sarcasm of the movie relies on the helpless people previously mentioned above working for their government.In that case Mr Kropotkin's country seems less funny. Great critics of dilemmas, acted well, directed neatly ends not sadly at least with some hope for clever people.

Gölge Oyunu (1993)
9/10
Partnership for staying alive.
13 September 2007
The one of the very best movie of Tavuz Turgul's cinematography. Istanbul is the stage(iconographic background)all the characters are of warriors for their own existence for some reason.Time and city looses its originality day by day.Only the very best partners can have the same dream which may takes days. Love is so difficult to reach in that stage.I am not pessimistic in that point.Istanbul is becoming for something different from what it was before.True.There also is something new which is good and inspiring. The movie also carries of an important reference which reminds traditional "Gölge Oyunu-Karagöz=two partners arguing all the time for an artificial subject that they discovered for performance" As a revolutionist I do not agree with the idea that the movie says ;no way out to get this capitalistic degradation.

exile of 1st generation
31 August 2007
Bayram is a clever Turkish guy goes for work to Germany.There was no job and culture of modernity in Turkey in that time.(It is pretty so now as well..) Being an owner of a yellow Mercedes(Car) is a symbol for him to catch up the modern standards .So he struggles to be selected as a candidate for immigration.He fights to be alive in this wild atmosphere.He spends all his attention and money to grasp the symbolic success of living in Germany for a proletariat. He fails at last .... The movie points out that why the lower class of people can not manage to became successful in the life. P.S. hi Bayram a typical working class hero.
