On an individual basis, I like this movie because it includes everything about the family relationship as dram, sadness, humorous, compassion, hatred which are actually explain family relationship. Besides, movie starts from 1980 Turkish coup so we can learn Turkish history as well as we can understand difficult situation on that time in Turkey. Also, we can enter the child's world who is a motherless. I do not know someone who did not cry in this movie. I remember my grandpa and my father when I watch this movie, I remember my childhood with amazing soundtracks. Both "my father" and "we will meet again" songs are so emotional and mopey and these songs help me to trip down memory lane because all childhood memories are actually mopey for me.

Its story is very deep,after as real life. Çetin Tekindor's acted was represent. More again, when Fikret Kuskan aka Sadik was dead. Visible he was hurt with Sadik's death. Its film is as puzzle. First, when Deniz was born. Not hot, not rain, suddenly Sadik was prison. After more far, I know the reason Sadik was prison, because his activity as journalist. Can accepted mind. Two, after death Sadik, when Deniz tried video camera from his grandpa. This really dream or not. For this,I can't more speak.Each film be a goof. The direction of camera when Sadik apologized with his dad, made a dizzy. Better that, after Sadik fainted, the camera was fading out. When Huseyin knew his son was fainting, directed the scene was fading in. But all the story is very good.

Having seen a lot of Turkish films, I do agree with someone writing in this site that this is perhaps the best Turkish movie ever and one that can hold proudly its place amongst the best worldwide. Everything is perfect, direction, photography, acting, you cannot help but feel for its characters and identify with them, especially if you share the same location in the map, similarities in history and personality traits.I loved the child actor, he can make you smile and cry, but also the whole movie is about feelings, pain, sadness, anger, love, forgiveness and most important the joy of life.Another strong point is the music, made by the Greek composer Euanthia Reboutsika. Gave the movie wholeheartedly a 10 rating! I wish there were more of its kind.
