Miracle in Cell No. 7

What a movie! What an acting by the leading actor! U need to watch this type of movie once in month. Just to purify your soul.

I have watched hundreds of excellent movies so far. Never in my life before have I ever felt the need to write comment after watching a movie until watching this masterpiece. It will make you cry even if you have a stoned heart.

Under regular conditions I would not watch a Turkish movie due to various reasons the first one of which is disastrous acting. This movie terminated all of my prejudice. Definitely a must watch. I am deeply touched by the movie.

It won best picture in MMFF but it's more than that award that make it a fun and worth-it movie to watch. I never intend to write a review but after seeing mixed reviews in IMDB, i just feel the need to say my thoughts on how good this movie is. First off, i LOVE this movie. I watched the original version and this version and I have to say i loved BOTH for different reasons.

***This version keeps the context of the original yet tried to align it with Filipino culture. The casting, I would say, is excellent - even the supporting actors brought light to every scene. I initially doubted Aga Muhlach would be a fit as the protagonist but I was proven wrong. He was effective and lives up to the role.

***I watched this with my whole family ( our family had different age groups and demographics ) and everyone got their heartstrings tugged one way or another. That says something for me - being a testimony that this movie is for everyone.

***The absurdity of the plot makes it memorable and fun but nevertheless a great adaptation of the original.

***Musical score and editing is also something go be commended as that brought this film to an even greater viewing experience.

What does it offer you? Incredible cinematography, realistic acting, heart touching story telling, living humanity, unexpected ending, where one'd easily break down.

Synopsis as follows Mehmet Koyunco (Memo) is a father with an intellectual disability and his little six year old daughter Ova. Sadly, Memo imprisoned for uncommitted crime and sentenced to the death. Before Memo's execution he stays with others inmates in cell number 7 where miracle happens.

Quick confession, I watched this movie because of its South Korean original, with which I was encountered several years back. If you haven't watch the Korean version then must check after this, if you really want to weep more.

Feel good movie. It made me cried after Deivathirumagal(Tamil) and few similar sequences are there. Nice movie. Good to watch. Comedy is also good. Innocent father and child acted so real.
