Bihter

"Forbidden love" is a famous book written by Halid Ziya Usakligil. The book has many adaptation for cinema and tv. The most influencial adaptation was made as a tv series in 2008 and this movie (Forbidden love 2023) will be mainly compared with this series. When we consider the huge influence of Forbidden love 2008, it is almost impossible to criticize the movie without comparing it with the series. It is fair to say that Forbidden love 2008 is a beter adaptation of the book. Especially, the performance of the actors were worse. Even if we ignore the 2008 tv series, I dont think that none of actors performed a satisfactory performance except Farah Zeynep Abdullah. However, although she made a satisfactory performance unlike her collegues, she still could not reach the level of beren saat(Bihter in 2008 adaptation). As a resul, it is difficult to argue that the movie fulfills the expectations and satisfy its audience.

It's a fleabag parody... Writer of the movie thinks she is so smart and edgy but no... it's bad, very bad... Maybe the worst Turkish movie in The history... watch the television show "Aski Memnu" it's 100 times more better.

Who the hell made this movie and why? So so bad and cringe.... Also disrespectful to original novel and it's author...

After I watch this movie, I dreamt about the machine from "eternal sunshine of the spotless mind" because I wanted to forget all about this film.

Whoever are the people made this movie, please don't make any other movies, you clearly don't understand anything about making movies.

The movie has a big disadvantage to start with because of the very loved series adaptation from 2008. I think most people would still embrace a new adaptation for this famous book if this movie didn't turn out to be this hideous. The good things are costumes and decor and everything else is sort of a mess. The self narration is very unnecessary and is a concentration killer. Cast is not horrible but also not great but acting is very mediocre but I also think that the actors are not to blame for this. The script is weird, a lot happens so fast and there is no correlation between events and no emotion passes from the screen because of that. Bihter is not Bihter by the way she an overly playfull woman where originally she should be this cold distant woman. I think this could have been great if this was worked as a period drama even with this cast. I think manking this movie was waste of money and watching it was a waste of energy.

I was not expecting a good job but not to this extent. Being someone knowing the original story, I can see that there is no story line, no character development, no nothing at all. The only thing I like is the costumes. They did a good job reflecting 1920s. However, the rest is just nonsense. For someone who does not know the original story, it is impossible to understand what is going on as the scenes jump from one to another without any logical sequence. Unfortunately, I felt like I was being tortured for 2 hours. And I was not the only one. Everybody watching it with me got bored and lost interest after the 20th minute. Sad to see a great story being so unprofessionally screenplayed.

Knowing the 2 previous films/series and the performances, this one feels like a high school theatre. Characters hardly fit the role, mimics and acting skills are below average. The only fit is the time zone. May be it was too early to shoot the same movie where the previous one which was a great success is just one decade away. Bihter talking with the audience also takes away the seriousness. The acting is really poor. In summary, it was a great time loss despite all the expectations and PR. Now, we understand that Kivanc and Beren and all tge rest of the cast created a masterpiece 10 years ago.
