Babamin Kemani (2022)
"My father's violin" an excellent film!
Synopsis:
A girl is left without her father, who dies from his tobacco addiction. An uncle of hers, a famous violinist, will have to take care of her.
To this is added the intense dramatic argument when the little girl is left in an orphanage. She experiences once again the pain of separation, because after the death of her father, her uncle takes care of her, but not knowing how to deal with her upbringing, he decides to leave her in a home of infants.
It is very difficult to imagine that Mehmet (Engin Altan Düzyatan) and Ali Riza (Selim Erdogan) have anything to do with each other: one is a brilliant violinist of world fame, "a virtuoso", as he defines himself without modesty, and the other plays the violin in the streets of Istanbul together with his musicians, friends, as tattered as him, while his little daughter, Özlem (Gülizar Nisa Uray) dances and orders tourists: "Applaud the musicians! Tip them in this hat!".
But Mehmet and Ali Riza are brothers. An episode from the past drove them away and led them on separate paths. Mehmet holds a grudge against his brother for what happened; Ali Riza keeps the secret that he actually sacrificed himself for him. So, when he understands that a disease consumes him, he goes out in search of the great artist.
He has only one goal: to ask him to stay with his daughter Özlem, who has already lost her mother. After his death, he will have no one in the world, only his band of musician friends, who are often persecuted by the police and surely social services will deny them their care, since she did not even go to school.
Analysis
An excellent film that is gaining momentum as it progresses, with a magnificent interpretation of the protagonist girl, well accompanied by her father and uncle, without forgetting the group of musicians who accompany them in their street concerts.
The violin and the magic of his music are essential for the plot. Moving story, excellent performances, very tasteful and highly praised, this Turkish drama explore two themes as strong as mysterious: why human beings need love and what causes them music.
The strange ways in which love is built, especially in a family, are the thematic focus of this film based on a play by Yilmaz Erdogan and directed by Andaç Haznedaroglu.
Good angles, excellent photography, well-made frames and a very well-developed production, with characters built from the intentionality of the theme.
Conclusion
A Turkish drama that grabbed everyone's attention, 'My father's violin' is a proposal that came for captivate music lovers and to remove the fibers of emotions.
And it is that this film aims to show how through the most sublime melodies, a very lonely man and very cold feelings is able to encourage his orphan niece, to be passionate about this instrument and how, through him, and during the development of this plot, they manage to seal links that they did not imagine they could have.
The film reveals that through music and love, all is possible, and this allows us to approach those who consider themselves distant or insensitive.
'My father's violin' is an emotional, sensitive, but above all authentic and romantic production, which through love and passion for music triggers a series of events that are capable of providing the most important life lessons.
The universal language of music is also manifested from beginning to end and how through its scenes, in which the most resounding melodies are played, a magical atmosphere can be created amidst the sobriety of its main character. This added to the incredible participation of its renowned actors who have been able to convey all the emotions that go beyond the screen.
All this catches, because there is a lot of visual sensitivity and argumentative. But above all, what captures the attention is how a girl of only 8 years old assumes the loss of her closest relatives and how she takes refuge among the hobbies or passions they had.
In this way she manages to keep them close and through what she feels the most intense and sentimental melodies arise that only she knows how to channel through the execution of that instrument that gives her life back and also allows her to get closer to those she did not know, but who later they will take care of her. It is a story worth seeing, reflecting on life and family love.
The backdrop of this feature film is the city of Istanbul, so eccentric, so typical that it "smells" of kebab and breathes the salinity of the Bosphorus.
The protagonist of this film is also the music, with an incredible variation of themes that add so much beauty and so many contrasts. And as an Argentine, I loved hearing Carlos Gardel's famous tango "By a head" ("Por una cabeza").

Yolun Açik Olsun (2022)
"Godspeed"
Synopsis
In a succession of temporal leaps that join the story, "Godspeed" is like a puzzle of events, where the plot, with its narrative, makes the viewer aware of a cruel reality by means of a revelation directly related to the games of the mind and the tragedies that Salih drags, putting on the big screen a dramatic film, with bits of comedy.
It narrates the pain and trauma of a former captain of the Turkish army, Salih, who wants to stop the wedding of his friend's girlfriend and companion, with another man, undertaking that pilgrim journey in a 70's car. The tragedies of the past and sometimes their dazed present will ruin those plans.
Analysis
The film, which has renowned stars, tries aptly and sarcastically to make clear Salih's friendship and humanity with his friend Kerim. The almost cynical behaviour on the part of the former captain is justified in the dialogues and scenes of his recent past, demonstrating great subtlety in a very well-structured script and in his excellently delineated characters.
The aim of director Mehmet Ada Öztekin is to leave to the world the dramatic vision of an area of his country, Turkey, in constant struggle against terrorism and to honour the memory, with figures, of those killed in combat.
The camera interacts in various ways with the elements of the image (people, objects, backgrounds, etc.).
The frame (fragment of the space that captures the lens of a camera and images that we perceive as visual sensory impression), is almost perfect and I say almost because surely there would be details to perfect.
Several types of angles are observed (points of the space where the camera is located with respect to the person or object filmed within a frame according to the height and direction): in the front plane, where the camera is placed parallel to the ground and at eye level of the characters or objects, it does not have much dramatic impact, but it is perceived that it was used to give naturalness to the scenes.
In the chopped plane it is sought to represent the protagonists on the battlefield finding themselves at a disadvantage and at the moment, they are losing the fight. The aim is also to demonstrate vulnerability and inferiority to the alleged enemy.
Also used was the zenithal plane, a type of aerial viewing angle that is usually filmed through drones and allows to observe the dimensions of space in a whole. In these cases, it was used to give an aesthetic effect in the shots, both in dramatic scenes and those that are not.
The so-called aberrant plane was also used to convey instability, confusion and alienation to communicate that the main character is stunning to hear a hum and also to give dynamism to those scenes, which were used with great tact not to overwhelm the eyes of the viewer.
Another angle used was the side plane where the camera was placed next to the characters seeing them in profile.
Always specifying the camera angles, it was used the foreshortening plane, one of the most used in cinema, through which we see the protagonists or people talking head on and the characters we hear are seen behind.
The dorsal plane gives us the perspective of the characters, for example, in the scene where the two friends, sitting in the car looking at the sea, we, as spectators, have a broader vision including the protagonists in the frame.
With respect to the soundtrack, it fits very well to the scenes of the film; a set of sounds of excellent quality, soft, slow melody that corresponds to the scenarios that are seen, thus reflecting what was intended to convey.
The music expands and explains the images in the most emotional sense helping to create and reinforce certain atmospheres giving a sense of reality to the viewer in certain situations, as well as linking landscapes with sounds. Throughout the film the viewer is emotionally involved through music either when it comes to happy feelings, or when they are sad and dramatic.
What about the lighting used? It is clearly observed that natural light was used in many scenes, with sunny days, unlike other Turkish films where rain is one more protagonist. In "Godspeed" the director also used lights and shadows which add even more drama, accompanying the emotions and actions manifested by the characters. In some other scenes, artificial light and dark used, some more intense than others, to make the backlight direction fit the selected plane, for example: in the scene where Duygu discusses with his parents there is clearer lighting while in the adjoining room we can see Salih practically in the shadows transmitting the sadness and trauma he is suffering.
The costumes of the characters are simple, soft colors, without too many changes in the costumes, on the contrary, the protagonists wear the same clothes throughout that journey. The changes occur in the dramatic images and in the rest of the characters. In the scenes at the end of the film and in the character Salih, a narrative of great weight is perceived; tones and colors are reflected combined with a natural space transmitting the peace and serenity that finally achieves with himself.
The makeup is very well related to the costumes and the scenes of the war, it is noticeable that it is used to give a blow of special effect: danger, pain, fear.
In general, when examining the montage or editing, the images and sounds arranged in units of time and space show the relationship between the scenes of the present and those of the past, in order to create plans, sequences and acts mentioned.
Conclusion
It is a dramatic film where the director leaves a very enlightening message, but if we look at it with a more critical eye we will realize that it is full of values, symbolism and subliminal messages such as friendship, love of animals, empathy, solidarity, respect, resilience, guilt and sure a few more.
The plot awakened in me mixed feelings, sadness and joy, melancholic and euphoric. The protagonists are not stereotyped or rigid, they move with total naturalness, which affirms and confirms the great performance of the two protagonists, achieving that the result of their actions, feelings and emotions reach me very deep. A movie that will keep you expectant as it goes.
In my humble opinion and as a movie-loving spectator, it is a beautiful film, which in part, will make you laugh, in part, will make you tear, and where you will appreciate the great acting talent of Engin and Tolga, two great friends who came together to offer us this wonderful film project.

Good plot, good chapter!
Dönüs York: Chapter 1. At first I thought it was very good, it shows us a reality that many of us only see through the news. The images and sound are combined very well generating a great impact. Very good the performances of all, as well as the costumes, the photographs and the locations. In my opinion, I have observed that interior and night scenes they look too dark, which deprives the viewer of a good vision. Engine Akyürek's performance is excellent! I am pleasantly surprised to see him in this new role.
I hope the 2nd chapter is the same or better!
