First of all I am a huge fan of Ata Demirer. I watched his movies and stand up show many times. He is a perfect talent. In my first review I said I didn't like the movie because it is not a comedy and I didn't laugh at all but I misjudged the movie, this is a musical drama and when I think like that, I can say Ata Demirer executes perfect job. It is so naive with lots of details and also very well observed of period... Also it has a deep story about being looser or I don't know unlucky maybe.. I really loved it. Also I loved the woman singer voice so much,very arabesque.. I hope we can see second movie with happy final. Good characterizations, nice scenes and lovely 80s atmosphere... Really Good job. Watchable and recommended.
Everyone maybe don't understand it's like i think 80's and 90's people can understand. I hope the next move will come. I love his voice in his film and i liked the all musics it's crazy and i love the atmosphere of Bursa Bülbülü. I love the all of Ata Demirer movies and i love him hopefully the next movie will come. I watched with my family they both like it my family has a good film and music taste l. I rated on 10/10 maybe this is crazy many people don't give high point this film and i don't understand turkish viewers maybe has a bad film taste you know and. I wish i played with him this is gonna be crazy thats all thank you.
There are inspirations from many different films and series, but it's a production well below the expected quality. When it's Ata Demirer, a certain amount of laughter and surprising emotional moments are guaranteed, but in this story, I didn't experience funny moments, and the emotional moments also seemed a bit lacking. Probably because we're accustomed to his higher performances, it was an extremely disappointing experience for me. However, we love him, and I'm sure much better ones will come because, frankly, this film feels like it was made on order and just for the sake of it. Even the music quality is below Ata Demirer's standard. He can and he will do better...
Bursa Bulbulu (The Nightingale of Bursa) is a melodrama from Ata Demirer and his crew. The movie features the story of a wedding singer, who sings "taverna muzigi" (tavern music) in a pianist (or keyboard player) singer-songwriter style in 1980's. This style, which the singers often sang songs of personal troubles, impossible-loves, love-sickness, sadness, and tragedies, was famous in that era. Ata Demirer, known for his sincere comedies, drifts from this style and moves to a different style, which has lots of famous examples, in which real singers had sung and played in movies of that era. However this movie falls beyond expectations, with lots of poor acting (except Özge Özacar) and and fragmented narratives. The movie can be said to be mediocre, except amazing songs made and sang by Ata Demirer himself.
Well first of all let me clarify the thing i mentioned about that why this movie is seems like most of the typical Turkish movies which those are mostly good movies for The Turks but not have universal entities in it . While you watching it you probably in first few minutes thinking that it's kinda typical movie that tells us about the life of a late middle aged person trying find its pursuit of achivement . But when you keep watching that it tells us a quite in a unique and effective way that ain't drops attention of the viewers . I strongly reccomended you to watch this movie , i try to avoid the not giving spoilers soo the viewer might get fresh and great experience with it . Thanks Ata Demirel for this wonderful movie , i must admit that for his previous movie experiences i just thought that this movies is kind of one of it's smilar and kinda ok movies , but in this movie really his best movie . And also would like to thank Cem Gelinoglu and Ozge Ozacar for their beautiful performances .
