Hemso is the fourth movie of Okan Bayulgen, who is the most popular tv star of Turkey since 1995 with his uniqe late-night shows. I watched his first movies just for seeing my fave star on the big screen, but in Hemso, I faced a fabulous actor. In Hemso, Okan Bayulgen plays an eastern Turkish villager, a character that is totally opposite to Bayulgen, a city dweller by birth. However beginning from the very first scene, he portrays the character perfectly, with his amazing accent and attitudes. He never fails during the movie and he easily makes us believe that he is Cebrail, an old-fashioned villager who searches his enemy due to the vandetta, in the big city. He is so lonely, estranged by his family, and he hopelessly falls for a Romanian prostitute, girlfriend of his enemy, knowing that is an impossible relationship.And the rest is an ordinary action movie. I think Hemso is a half success and Okan Bayulgen is obviously the successful part of it.

KEY BAYULGEN MOMENT Cebrail, homesick and hopeless, confesses his impossible love, to a countryman of his, but comparing the girl to the natural beauties of his homeland, like her eyes like the river,etc. Just perfect!

Komser Sekspir is the story of a tough police chief, who learns that his only daughter is ill with leukemia, and will die very soon. The only dream of the girl is to play Snow White on the stage. The chief wovs to make her dream come true. He arranges the people he has taken under surveillance in the police station.They are a prostitute, a mafia leader, a young homeless boy, and another homeless, drug dealer Tatu (Okan Bayulgen) who has been a famous child star in the past, but now totally forgotten. The police chief, introduces these people to his daughter, as the local actors, and they begin rehearsals in the police station. This will change their lives forever. The movie achieves to be very funny and very sensitive at the same time. Especially, it is a great pleasure to watch Okan Bayulgen. Shortly after Hemso, where he plays an eastern villager, he now plays a marginal character, a city slicker, amazingly. His mimics, accent, tone of his voice are perfect, creative and impressive. I enjoy too much watching him and impatiently wait for his new ones.

KEY BAYULGEN MOMENT Absolutely the last scene, where Tatu plays a part from his old child-star days, but unexpectedly, an audience remembers him, The Little Hayati, and he is greeted with applause of the all audience. Bayulgen wonderfully reflects the feelings of that moment and I watch this movie over and over again only for this scene.
