Do Not Disturb

I am proud that we have Cem Yilmaz in Turkish cinema, but I think we still haven't seen his maximum potential.

I saw and loved the character of Ayzek in the movie '2 Arada' and it was the strongest movie among the Dark/Comedy Movies and the character was well written.

But I didn't get the same strong feeling for this movie in general. I think the movie has a very sympathetic first half and what it wants to tell is clear, but in the second half, while giving the psychological thriller part, it gets boring and that sympathetic part we know was going to the background for me. But I found the acting, scene cuts and shots quite adequate. I wish it had a very strong script.

Especially the ending was very predictable. I wish they were in search of something different. Still, it is a snack movie that can be watched in the evening.

If you follow the interviews of CY, you will see a lot of references to his personal views on people / typologies in social media. The subject and the flow of the story is nice.

I just did not like the parts related to the academician character. I found them too didactive and a little bit cliche.

Another explicitly cliche story was reference to the violence against woman.

If CY stops this didactive attitude, his movies will be much much better. He says he doesn't care much what critics say, but I think he cares too much and this causes him to be not totally free with the story.

The dance scene in pharmacy is epic!

Cem Yilmaz who's been having Jim Carey sendrome for a while relased his latest film recently,in this piece he is showing that apart from comedy he can achieve great things in others aspects as well,including drama and playing various characters. This movie is a sequel in which Cem preserves the "ayzek's" personal traits combines them with current events happening in the world. For example like most of us ayzek bought into the American dream meaning you can achieve things by simply wanting them. Ayzek believes in the phrase "believe in yourself" " just do you"

In ayzeks perspective only problem he has is he has no upper teeth.typical most modern approach one can have. Like almost every single one of us stuck on something which has little impact on our lives but we thing it's the only thing standing between us and our so called perfect dream. Most of the cases that's a lie just like ayzek we need to realize it before it's too late.

Long story short movie is a critique of our modern era.

There is a lot of similarities between The Joker and Do Not Disturb. Colors, lightnings, angles ect. Ect. Both films have the subject of a "stage of insanity." Also, this film got a reference to the character "Joker" in a scene where Ayzek and the girl when they smoke in front of the hotel. So it is no secret. But if we say this is a bad Joker copycat it could be unfair.

The details about the "hotel business" is insanely correct. Ayzek getting the wrong name tag at the first scene, being a bad hotel's night manager makes him smoke so often, no one is coming for check-in ect. Everything you see about the hotel business is very correct.

Characters felt very real and I like the scenario.

Only problem about the film is, it really doesn't feed the expectations with that final and I was expecting something big at the end. My suggestion, if the final is going to be the worst part of the film, don't try to make one.

Also what was the part about Ayzek felt down to that car? If it was Davut's room, what did we see? I think it's not connected to somewhere that is a problem, because you gave so much clue but there is no puzzle.

In total it could be one of the best films ever made in Turkish cinema but it could be better and if someone going to do that, who could be better than Cem Yilmaz?

If there is more given, than more expected.

Well let's be honest. Turkish cinema is not one of the brightest these days. We have Nuri Bilge Ceylan doing some arthouse movies once in a couple years taking away Cannes prizes and thats it. Thank God there is another man who tries to do something new with each of his projects. Cem Yilmaz. He seems like Fellini and Benigni's love child with some hardcore Turkish ancestry. In this movie he somehow did manage to show us the whole country with only a handful of actors and one stage. We all are already disturbed. Every one of us just wanna have o normal life. A bit of happiness. Love for sure. Why is it so hard to some to achieve such basic needs? Is it their fault? Is it because of everyone else? The pandemic? God? I dont know! Neither does Isac! He tries and hopes for the best. Just like you and me. Not gonna lie, a little bit more like me.
