Can't help laughing my ass off


I am currently watching the movie and I barely got through the first quarter: The motorcycle scene. It has unraveled as one of the most hilarious movies for me in a way that I can't control my laughter. Lead actor (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) marks the way for unintentional humor. Is it just me or is there anyone else feeling the same?

By the way, I am a native Turkish speaker, non-natives may perceive unalike.


EDIT: Well, I've finished watching the movie, and I'd say humor value went downhill as the protagonist turned out to be an unsympathetic person. However, risibility is kept mostly. I think humor is intentionally added into the film, and it culminates in scenes involving the lead characters Isa and Bahar. It majorly stems from the dialog between the two and the gestures of Isa. And juvenility acts a complementary element. Isa's forced and artificial phrases also help. We see other comical attemps in the rest of the movie, but these attempts falls short. They stay one dimensional compared to the former.

This movie was a decent watch for me for the comedy ingredient, I am apathetic to the rest. The audience may easily fall into boredom if they don't symphatize the characters and extract the fun from the movie. I also have to add the intimate scene at the end of the movie was a bit pretentious.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan seems to be concerned stylistically as he shows he is obsesses with snowy atmosphere. He even seems to have determined Agri (one of the eastmost provinces in Turkey) as one film construction site of the movie just to be able to capture the slow motion flaky snow as the last scene to engrave the stylistic feature to the viewer, as he experimented with it in his previous movie: Distant.

Did it hurt when it fell off? Anyway it's been some months so I hope you've had it glued back on; I'd hate to think you were as full of sh it as your comments.

If you knew anything about Ceylan's work you'd know that he loves snow, and almost invariably uses it in his films. I think the only one of his films that I've seen which doesn't have snow is Clouds of May.

I don't know why you see this film as humourous. It's drama, end of story. There's some humour in everyone's life, but that's not the point of this film.

So we'll put you down as a 'no', then?
