Amazing, beautiful.....SAD ENDING...
afterdarkpak15 January 2021
Well performed, well written , well directed , good quality production. even a good music. its a good emotional , romantic and tragic love story between two peoples and their hard work lives.

Apart from very liberal /religious views , the movie is great. there was NO POINT to add those religious idea (in spoilers) in the movie because it doesnt connect to the main story.

Also i didnt like the ending, its very sad. i was hoping of good happy ending, because the whole damn movie is SAD .

The movie represent the hardship n struggle of small town people in difficult times. and after struggle n suffer n success it also shows how it affects on later life.

----------------------------------spoilers----------------------------

un relevant religious ideas in movie ( AS im muslim) . as the movie about turkish people , and they are MUSLIMS and it gives some views ( mostly BAD way) in the middle of the movie. a scene where it shows a Kadir's daughter goes to school bus and take off her scarf and then went swimming pool with BIKINI. and then father found it and he angry about it. and the way it shows that bad way. and later in the movie that daughter left the family and living with german bf ? ...In reality , yeh turkey is very liberal NOW, but such thing doesnt exist in GOOD muslim people. like unmarried woman / girl lives with a GUY without marriage . also wearing bikini ? never.... but in some very liberal open minded soo called muslim families has such thing. so those doesnt count.

well its german made movie, but its about turkish people. so i wasnt expecting a NUDE Sex scene. the actress n even that lead actor is hot n pretty.

Through the exemplary romantic relationship of Mustafa and Melike beginning in their childhood which grows into an odyssey of epic proportions the film talks about the hopes and dreams and the struggle of Turkish immigrants living in Germany.

For some the effects of the encounter of traditional (not to say archaic) values of Anatolia with modern western worlds every day life in a German city (mainly Cologne) turns out to be more of a start to new horizons, for others a tragedy.

This movie is very touching with its sensibility and patience to let the story unfold, gaining its credibility by avoiding cliché-like sentimental solutions.

Lale Yavas (Melike) and Erhan Emre (Mustafa) give a great acting performance and their chemistry is that strong that you really feel that they were made for each other. No wonder the film was widely praised and won the "Adolf Grimme Price" in 2005.

I watch a lot of movies and i have to tell you that this one is a real pearl that justifies my highest recommendations. Berlin 2009 Greetings.. Thomas
