Turkish Films

ı'm agreed with you cambaz there's nothing to shame opposite we myust proud of ourselves that everybody know this movie.I think this a gift to world cinema population from turkey.

I'd like to make a few comments myself. Let me state in advance that I too am a Turk.

The list given is an amazing list of films. I especially recommend Karpuz Kabuğundan Gemiler Yapmak. There are a few points I must make here:

- The same mistakes and technical disabilities existed in all the movies of the time. Only with this film we have "stupider" mistakes on the small thin line between "sarcasm" and "idiocy" , we'll get back to this.

- Arkın is NOT the best of the time. If you want to sample the Turkish Cinema art of the time, I recommend you try Kemal Sunal.

- Arkın is NOT a disgrace. Why should he be? Why should I ever feel ashamed? I have somewhat more of a developed sense of individuality and I'd also like to add that Arkın's movies helped the nation's feelings of indivisibility a lot.

About sarcasm and idiocy, I can say that this movie is one of the worst, based on the fact that Arkin still states that he strived for a work of SciFi and not comedy. Fot this, and this only, I can say that this is the worst movie in the whole universe.

But hey! I still recommend you try Kemal Sunal. Ah yes and Zeki Alasya & Metin Akpınar for tasteful comedy. Just an independent view but I can list some countries I think make excellent movies:

USA, Italy, France, UK and finally Japan. I don't like all the Hollywood popcorn stuff but sometimes Hollywood just hits it.. (Forrest Gump, Tim Burton's movies etc.)

I must say that I find the Turkish cinema industry evolving into something, if the countries listed above are taking as models. Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam is a laugh for all the Turks as well as the world, and I don't think no one expecting something artistic should ever watch it. But still, that does not disprove the fact that it is great comedy :D

its not the nationality its the unique mix of lack on the continuity , screenplay , fitting(montage) , acting , virtual effects (its because of lack of money i think)
(i saw scenes from starwars actually at background).....goes on like this.
this film had been made in 2 weeks or something.I read an article about this film the screenplay was written in 1 day by cüneyt arkin's himself (lead actor in the film)

So its not a starwars triology actually

look at the dialogs man just look at it

- i'm gravitating by a secret power to a planet i can t understand why (x wings fightin at the back)

-hey ali threw a whisle may let the girls show themselfs

-"whisle"

homemade monsters come out which the costumes made by orenbayans herself

this film was on screen after starwars hit big time

so it can be a parody (a spool) of starwars but if i know cuneyt arkin its not a
parody

I'm a big fan of starwars but the film (i didnt read the book) has so much things i dont get.its the lightsaber duellos made this film worth to watch (and han solo of course)

what was i sayin...hah.

you can not criticize as you watchin serenity or starwars (these are good films) its like plump fiction but this film is actually granted to be the worst film ever made thats the thing.if you want to watch a startrek (its both space dont hit me) parody watch
"Turist Omer Uzay Yolunda"

i can say its better than death tunnel

I could'n say turkish films are better then what happned to casablanca , to indiana jones triology (sorry i m a huge harrison ford fan),to 2001 space oddysey (i didn quite get the idea i confess),to pink panter strikes again

deadhardy,
You're really a sad person.
