Gece, Melek ve Bizim Çocuklar

Atif Yilmaz directing inspires a feature screenwriter Yildirim Turker within a theatrical stage-to-audience realization. Gece, Melek ve Bizim Çocuklar was a highly skilled artistically epic moving pictures and moving camera. Continuous action/tension/suspense and ever-growing heroine characterization.

Right from the introduction scene, just like the theatrical show business rules, story introduces its own audience an heroine of their own factual reflections. Who are this audiences?

The Istanbul citizens of hope, dreams, goodness, and childish innocence losing their all in the rotten dark alleys of the reality.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, does never disappear. Where does the reality of Istanbul metropolitan life appear at?

At the faces of the most innocent, most poor, most hopeless... Just like the last crusade from Ingmar Bergman's Seventh Seal, the kid who obeys his thief father from Bicycle Thieves or Breathless heroine Jean Seberg of Jean Luc Godard's cinematic theories of:

* Forced loneliness and self-destruction due to someone else's selfish nature and stubborn mistakes.

Minute mark 8m and 40sec, when at the discotheque Happy Nation from Ace Of Base starts to play, and Serap opts out for dancing alone under the disco ball to this song, that's when we are all drawn into the realization of our real-day life to face individual truth of metropolitan loneliness.
