The Butterfly's Dream

if you love poetry, you should watch this movie. no problem. if you don't like poetry (like me), you should definitely watch it. i have grown up in zonguldak where the poets live too. i have never heard about them. this movie made me (and turkey)know about them.

here is a part from the movie. i translated it. So it can't be %100 true.

"I would like to make a beautiful remember her beauty, before the

mirrors.."

i hope this movie will win an Oscar in 2014.

2,5 hours... Wish the movie was even longer, wish I had the chance to walk into that screen and live in that movie together.

Visually it did remind me of Gladiator due to amazing scenery and La vita e Bella due to colors and era. But as a whole it was something else, something touching, heart breaking and still full of humor. If I need to explain it with one word, it was poetic in each and every moment.

Life of 3 poets. One very well known and experienced and two young and talented. A friendship that is bond with life and death. It should be really hard to capture it all but Yilmaz Erdogan did a great job as a director and actor. Two young poets, Kivanc Tatlitug and Mert Firat just makes you feel each and every moment of their life, their pain and their happiness so perfectly.

I plan to see it again at the theater and keep telling the people that it deserves a chance at the film festivals around the world.

Visually it is very beautiful and the plot is decent, although sometimes it is quite slow; it is a good turkish drama.

"All we know is to keep our record, The rest is the will of the Lord"

One of the best film I've ever seen. Every bit of it has been nourished by its artists through their performances. The story as well as the music used in the film has become its beauty. Audience will witness survival of two unknown poets who fights for their fortune and love against TB.

The cast is very good and their performance is so extraordinary that makes the story more touchy. This movie has successfully introduced those two poets and their sad story to the world.

In the poetic view, this movie included a number of beautiful poems. Every one of those is spectacular. One of those has been given earlier.

You must definitely see this movie if you want to get lost among the beautiful scenes and poetry of course.

Without hesitating I can say that this is the best movie of Yılmaz Erdoğan. Art for Man's sake. I was very impressed by the movie.

I also would like to congratulate Director of Photography and Art Director. They did an outstanding job. Mert Fırat and Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ in the roles of two poets who died at early ages, performed very well. Friendship of these poets whose only concern is writing poets, is above everything. They spend most of their time together, try to get their poets published, like the same girl, go to the same sanatorium because of the same disease - TB.

Throughout the movie, poet is always in the middle of everything.

I remembered I missed poetry so much. After all, love is the pretext for poetry.
