Son Mektup

I don't like the movies that "called historical ones but they are not using any historical references"..I wish to watch that if its called historical movie then it should use good references or if its called epic/fantastic , then i wish to watch unreal things..anything..but this movie claims that its a historical movie and its about a really important issue with a nation, though it doesn't use any historical references..just simple romantic relationships and politics arguments..well, well...i just believe that this producer wish to earn good money from a politicial group by using a nations history/beliefs/feelings..Just trash..Don't waste your time and money..

i loved Son Mektup movie. It's so emotional movie. And certainly it has epic, dramatic scenes. Set during the Battle of Gallipoli in 1915. The story follows a young Turkish pilot and a nurse who together rescue and attempt to shelter a young orphan boy amidst the chaos of battle. Son Mektup has a great screenplay. And gorgeous scenes, excellent acting. Son Mektup is a major advance for Turkey. But i don't understand some people who manipulated Son Mektup. Other comments don't reflect the truth. And contain political views. And this is a huge mistake for movie reviews. Because this film is really great movie and don't contain political views. I highly recommend watching this film.

Another sympathizer film of the government in Turkiye. The film was produced in order to earn money on national and historical emotionality of Turks and to be sympathetic to the present government. But there was an injustice in the film because the founder and the leader of Turkiye Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and the hero of the battle Seyit Onbaşı had never been mentioned. Because some evil-minded people in Turkiye try to cause the new generation to forget Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.(Nobody managed to do this and never will be able to do.) Also pupils were taken to this film by force. If they weren't taken by force the producers couldn't have earned any money.

A man can build a building in 3200 days but 3200 man cant build a building in one hour.This is basic logic.The production of this film is one of the best since many years.However the script is a total disaster.I don't want to mention about the awful directing. The script is full with basic propaganda lines.The writer (writers) wanted to simplify the language however put lines that only existed after decades. Putting a nonsense love story to a epic battle turned the film to the same position like "Pearl Harbour". I didn't like the film "Pearl Harbour" and i definitely didn't like "Son Mektup". Turkish producers and writers have a sick disease to teach people history.To be honest this lessons are mostly useless.Its a film, not a documentary. To the foreword of this review again : "A man can build a building in 3200 days but 3200 man cant build a building in one hour".If you really believe that the production could save this film you will be deeply disappointed.

Son Mektup is a new and different movie that makes everything seem more exciting, just like the water diviner, it concentrates on the individual struggles and sacrifices made by the people of Turkey. But be warned this move doesn't have the great leader Atatürk in it, therefore it could offend some narrow minded individuals. It's just another view, to the war with no hidden agenda... that's all. I enjoyed it and loved it good work to the produced and cast. Son Mektup also tries its best not to take a vindictive stance about the enemy powers of the period. A war is a war, and even the character of a Turkish general comments on the deceased English soldiers on a warship that has just been bombed, This is a huge step for Turkish filmmakers endeavoring to produce films leaning on militarism.
