Arif V 216

Ben cok begendim tavsiye ederim. Devaminin gelmesi temennisiyle...

In a country where the first university was established in the 20th century, this film is a milestone, a turning point and an enlightenment in terms of its capturing storyline, acting quality, excellence in terms of the technicality of cinema, the messages it gives and so on!

Since I work in the US, I am aware of how important the art, literature and lately the film industry is in scientific developments. Remember how many years submarines appeared on the stage of history after Jules Verne's book Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Unfortunately, Turkey is not even at the stage of dreaming about science and technology yet.

As a scientist who believes that many Cem Yilmaz films should be included in primary, middle and high school curricula, I believe that even thinking that this film is only a tribute to Yesilcam is a result of this lack of imagination of science.

As many Cem Yilmaz viewers agree, since Cem Yilmaz never made films for money or popularity, his films are 40-50 years ahead of the country's level of education, consciousness, imagination and creativity.

Perhaps those who will invent and produce Turkey's first one-of-a-kind artificial intelligence some decades from now, I am sure, will remember ArifV216 with gratitude and a big smile.

That was fabulous . Good people are only in movies ? Is that true ? You can watch whole movie with a smile on your face . Great work . From my point of view; there are lots of scenarists who must learn sth from Cem Yilmaz . Of course there are some critical points. But; if you will look at the big picture you will not even see. Thanks for reading . Enjoy the movie!!!

If you want unterstand this film you must watch G.O.R.A. and A.R.O.G.

First of all, I'm a big fan of Cem Yilmaz and his movies. I still watch his movies at least once a year. That being said, while not being completely bad, this movie didn't meet the standards of Cem Yilmaz movies. He set the bar really high and sometimes it's not easy to reach there, even for himself.

Nostalgia factor played a big role in this new adventure of our beloved "Arif Isik", a character first introduced in G.O.R.A. Cem Yilmaz obviously loves nostalgia, and the great actors and actresses of 60's, 70's era just like most Turkish people, but the dose of it in this movie was way too much. I mean, the setting, background, costumes, characters were really great but that "These people were giants of the Turkish cinema, so they should not be made fun of" attitude was kind of boring, especially considering that this is a comedy movie. Especially the tirade at the end of the movie was really lame.

You should be familiar with the history of Turkish cinema in order to be able to enjoy this movie. There are just way too many references to that 60's, 70's era for anyone to even laugh at the jokes. So, don't bother watching the movie if you don't know who people like Zeki Müren, Sadri Alisik, Ajda Pekkan are.
