Kübra

Kubra comes with a message for all humanity, a message that can be assimilated by everyone, regardless of religion, ethnicity, country. Universal values such as truth, love, brotherhood, joy, happiness, compassion, generosity are the same for all people on earth. The duality existing in everything makes us choose between faith and doubt, between love and hate, between light and darkness, between balance and chaos. We need faith, without which we are lost in the whirlwind of the world. Kubra is a successful serial in terms of script, direction, acting. Cagatay Ulusoy disturbs us, by the way he animates Gokhan, so deeply, convincingly, to the point of identification with him. I liked Kubra, it impressed me, it surprised me with that last episode, the key to the series, artificial intelligence, who and how will use it, this is the question of the moment. My recommendation is addressed to those who follow a series with their eyes, heart and mind. Don't miss Kubra.

Faith, belief, cultism, looking for a better future, entrenched powers fighting change, corruption..... Basic human traits and flaws meet in this Turkish series. Is Gokhan chosen by God to be his spokespreson and usher a change? Or is he just delusional? Or are there other factors at play? It's a nice look at.intersection of faith, politics and social movements. Who is playing whom? Who has ulterior motives? Who really believes and who is just going with the flow? And who is trying to harness this for their own gain?

Overall the story is interesting and compelling but at points thing happen at the pace of plot and people act the way they do simply to further plot and not because it's a rational and logical thing to do.

There is a Hollywood series with a similar premise and plot, which was in turn inspired by different series as well. I won't say which ones due to spoilers but you'll likely recognise them if you've seen either.

A profoundly touching, captivating, and thought-provoking film that delves deep into the contemporary world. With a highly original premise, the film fearlessly tackles the complex issues of today, drawing the audience into profound contemplation. The development of characters and the progression of the story successfully immerse the viewers into the unfolding events.

With its societal critiques and powerful messages, the film constructs a narrative that prompts viewers to reflect deeply. Both the acting performances and technical aspects contribute to making this film an unforgettable experience for the audience. In conclusion, this film stands out as a brilliantly crafted and successful piece that holds a mirror to the contemporary world, offering a smart and impactful viewing experience.

I watched the Kubra series with a lot of excitement ,thanks to the fantastic performante of the actor Cagatay Ulusoy who penciled the caracter of Gokhan .Truly ,the series is for people who try to see beyond the screen ,the depth of the soul and the inner struggles watching the series we inevitably have questions to wich we want an answer ar fair and balanced as possible related to our belonging on this earth , to the unwritten laws of nature ,to our journey in this life .If all had at least half of Gokhan caracter ,surely the world would be better and the violece would disappear .I wholeheartedly recommend this series ! Deserve!

As someone who can both relate to the culture and the religion displayed in the series, until the end, I was only watching hoping that the ending would be in a similar fashion. Kubra is a series that display simply mankind. All though some part were quite corny and hard to watch, the message that is delivered is the status quo of the country it is based out of. It depicts the balance of power, social and economic realities, political Islam and the tension within the nation that could be ignited with a single match. All though it seems far-fetched from reality, it is closer than it seems. The dystopian and fiction aside, with certain twists to the plot, it has the potential to be real, because it did in the past and the original author was most likely influenced and referrenced it.
