Sen Hiç Ates Böcegi Gördün Mü?

Have You Seen Fireflies? Yes, they are beautiful and threatened with extinction, as cute and charming as the film, but beware, strong triggers, loneliness, resilience, exaggerated machismo of a strongly patriarchal society, it hurts deep inside the soul, a beautiful and intensely sad film... The context history and evolution from 1960 to the present day and every revolution, excellent film cloth ... "Life is more difficult for those who are intelligent."

Fascinating story... I don't cry often, but it made me. And also i did laugh too. I really don't get the people who gave bad score to this movie. You guys never saw a firefly before?

The movie is based on the original text of a muchly appreciated theatre play staged in 1999, written by Yilmaz Erdogan, a succesfull name of cinema and theatre world in Turkey.

Despite basing on a text succeded in the past, the movie unfortunately fails articulating a cinematic langue by adapting the theatrical scenario. Hence, the audience faces to a theatre play on the screen trying but failing to be a movie.

Story telling is ok. Unfortunately, main character has some of the worst make up I've ever seen since 1990s. It's hard to understand why they didn't cast someone else for the old version of her. It looks cheap and takes the quality of entire movie down.

Entire film feels like a cheap version of 'forrest gump'

Rest of the movie is ok.

Execellent. Masterpiece. A nice overview of last 50 years of Turkey. Being a strong woman, being a smart woman always has many challenges in Turkey.
