Atatürk 1881 - 1919 (2023)
Ataturk Part 1: Cinematic Excellence, Historical Biases, and the Emotional Rollercoaster
I enjoyed the cinematography, possibly one of the best in Turkish cinema. While some parts of the film felt a bit slow, they were generally acceptable. However, the constant shifts in time, whether to the past, present, or future, were a bit disorienting. In my opinion, biographies should maintain some chronological order while being pleasing to the viewer, adding to the story.
There were issues with historical bias; the film seemed to avoid portraying the dark side of Ataturk. On a positive note, Aras's performance was sensational - a perfect fit for the role.
The ending of the first part, concluding at a peak moment, was a mistake in my eyes. It leaves the viewer on the edge, and in the next part of the Ataturk movie, they will have to rebuild their emotions, which may take some time to fully engage with the narrative again.
All in all, it was a good film.
Detachment (2011)
"Detachment (2011): A Poignant Exploration of Existence, Loneliness, and Self-Acceptance"
I felt that deeply, that's the reality of existence, described in the movie as a teacher and a student. That is what started it all, we learn and teach but we still have this vague sound that is shouting and crying from the inside, what is reality anyway is it to exist or is it leaving an influence to be remembered down the road? When you are silent from the outside but raging from the inside the feeling of loneliness and misery, when you know that you will be misunderstood everywhere you go and just accept the fact that only you would get it. But destiny puts a lovely person into your life that you start having feelings of love and care, yes first time, what a great feeling to find comfort in another, and what a painful feeling it is to let it go. Now you are all alone again. Then finally, you accept it this is who you are, emptiness in you you are nothing but a body moving just attempting to make a difference but as the realization hits that the system itself is broken you stop yes now you have no purpose, this movie portrayed what a man lives every day it's sensational in terms of delivering emotion, that's what I feel every day...
