Die Blaue Höhle

The characters make plans for the future and hope of realizing them someday. Their dreams come to promises, promises are about to be fulfilled, and a wonderful tomorrow seems so close, when suddenly... The shadow drowns the future without any compromise.

The personages act according to their life plan, and their "plan" is just a dream of a better life. Of course, a dream is not a plan and the film shows it from the first scene.

Stories about how someone manages to change his life or help somebody are doomed to failure. Just because you don't know what is best for someone else, accept it. Life repeatedly makes us learn this bitter lesson, and this film is proof of that.

Mavi magara is a beautifully shot movie with incredibly likeable characters. The concept of the story is amazing, the characters are top tier. They are so human, so likeable that is rare in movies. The cinematography is gorgeous. Every shot gives the feeling of beauty and is worth it. By the end, I was truly moved, having come to deeply understand the characters and the message the movie was conveyed.

The lead actors Kerem Bürsin and Devrim Özkan delivered a star-making performances. When their eyes meet, there's a tangible connection between them. They make the characters' love feel so real.

The basic virtue is the construction of story. And, sure, the beginning of romance, the promisse of retirement , the blue cave as symbol and the smart use of ambiguity.

Not ignoring the acting.

A love story like so many others. The nice intention to give to it a personal touch and a not dessapointed result , the crumbs of fairy tale of relation between marine officer and his future wife , archeologist, looking just fine, especially for the way of hero to truth and the meetings with the significant people of his past.

Not memorable but, obvious, more than nice.

And, in essence, this is the most significant thing defining it.

Baby don't hurt me ... don't hurt me ... well you know the rest (if you know the song) ... I also could have written "love is a battlefield" .. because the man is a soldier (forgive my over explaining, but some may not have seen the movie - so no pun intended). Will that even matter for you? Tough to say to be honest.

There is romance in the air, there is a shy first flirt ... and then there is a back and forth (timeline wise) to show us where the characters end up "today". I would say what the movie might be hiding under the guise of a twist ... I think is quite clear ... we are not blue (whatever that may mean) ... I do like the color, but that is besides the point.

The movie is there to show that we should live life to the fullest - to enjoy and cherish even the smallest moments. And also to do what we love to do ... with the people we love to do it with (no pun intended once more)

One of the most beautiful, emotional and original romantic dramas of the last decade! One time watch is not enough.

Congratulations the whole team!

Kerem Bürsin the greatest dramatic actor of his time and now also a screenwriter. Through the love story, the film raises important psychological questions, its deeper interpretations make you think. Much more than just a movie. Its visual display is of unparalleled beauty. In addition to the cinematography, I would also like to highlight the film's music, which is also overwhelming.

I will definitely be rewatching it many times.

In short, another great story with Kerem Bürsin.
