Last night, at last we had chance to see that animation-film.Although it is an animation, I think it is for the adults. Firstly,it is the best animation made by Turks and in Turkey. The colours,reflections,nature,human,streets and Barla are greatly animated. Especially I like the lake animation best. The color of the lake takes you away. Maybe the facial expressions can be developed. When it is compared with Ice Age, I think the facial expressions are not successful as in Ice Age's. On the other hand, the subject or the message is basic and clear. Thank all the people who work for this film and go this film.

Hello,

Warning: Spoilers
I recommend all the people to listen the film's musics even they don't have a chance to see the movie. They are wonderful. This movie was seen above one million in Turkey, this is a huge number, because these kind of movies generally cannot seen too much, because as this films' includes, a religious man, people generally want to see comedy like this, but this film I think shows that; people also want to see religious characters' movies. This is a reason of Turkish people's demand, because government blocks all the religious things in 1930-1980. And this lead people to search and understand religious people, who has shown as a bad man in that period. Thanks.
a must see touching movie

I saw the movie with my wife and really liked it. It ends as if it would come back with another episode. By the way the facial animations are exactly the same with the real persons. It is about a great person who suffers wrong attitudes. He metaphorically tries to attract the people back from the fire of the Hell. That the opponents raid his house three times illegally, summon him for questioning, and arrest him indeed insults me too. Moreover, living in complete seclusion under the most rigorous surveillance for three years after having been acquitted, he is able to write only one harmless letter a week to some of his friends. It was as though all his relations with the world had been cut. Yet he is The servant of God and he is not helpless.
Not just for kids

Like Fetih 1453, this film about Said Nursi, one of the 20th century's greatest Muslim leaders and thinkers, symbolizes the reawakening that Turkey has been experiencing in recent years: namely, that its historical greatness is rooted not only in morality, but also in the unconventional THINKING that it spawned. The film exposes the hypocrisy of so-called progressives whose idea of advancement comprises nothing more than mimicking contemporary superpowers; faux-liberals who smash anything that threatens the mediocrity and underachievement that typifies their rule and existence.
While Muslims around the world celebrate and remember Said Nursi, no one remembers nor celebrates his oppressors; and no one (outside of Turkey, for certain) celebrates nor remembers the specter whose photo hangs above their hollow heads until this day. The tactics the Turkish government employed against the sheikh are no different than what we see happening against President Morsi and the Muslim Brothers in Egypt today.

An excellent animation, but not for kids

A must see movie about one of the most prominent figures of the late 19th century Turkey. Those who want to have an insightful understanding about the history of the early Turkish Republic should watch this animation. Having read almost all his early and late works, I can certainly say that Nursi's life and action style are truly presented in this movie. In my opinion, he is one of the greatest thinkers who has inspired not only his age but also the next generations. It was a pleasure to watch this movie. The animation itself is a professional work which must be the result of great effort and hard work, and the music is definitely enticing.
Sincere thanks to the producers of this animation movie.

I agree that it is chiefly for grown ups. There is also a normal movie telling about the life of Said Nursi; however, this one doesn't try to tell everything but focuses on the most important period of his life, which seems to be a decision, and feels more professionally made.
It helps you understand the situation in Turkey and the essence of his teachings, Risale i nur collection..... Must see if you seek have any insight into the situation of in modern Turkey.
The English dubbing is brilliant, I admire both voice and accent used at dubbing the main character.
Congratulations to the team!
