Son Mektup

I don't like the movies that "called historical ones but they are not using any historical references"..I wish to watch that if its called historical movie then it should use good references or if its called epic/fantastic , then i wish to watch unreal things..anything..but this movie claims that its a historical movie and its about a really important issue with a nation, though it doesn't use any historical references..just simple romantic relationships and politics arguments..well, well...i just believe that this producer wish to earn good money from a politicial group by using a nations history/beliefs/feelings..Just trash..Don't waste your time and money..

Another propaganda film made by a bunch of guys who's main job is making TV ads. Making a film about war of Gallipoli without mentioning Mustafa Kemal. Are you serious? Let the Aussies do the job boys. Watch Water diviner instead. Try harder and let the historical facts be your guide not your sponsors. People without spirit and belief can not make this movie. Living in poverty everybody is shaved, make ups are perfect and it is the most clean and tidy war film ever. Our grandfathers fought this fight in poverty, without shoes, without ammunition, without any spare parts for the airplanes. They cover the fabric of the airframe with egg yolk to attach the fabric to the airframe. They salvaged parts from downed airplanes and improvised. But what we see is a beautifully painted red plane. How can we believe that? Funny. Another waste of time and money.

Son Mektup is a new and different movie that makes everything seem more exciting, just like the water diviner, it concentrates on the individual struggles and sacrifices made by the people of Turkey. But be warned this move doesn't have the great leader Atatürk in it, therefore it could offend some narrow minded individuals. It's just another view, to the war with no hidden agenda... that's all. I enjoyed it and loved it good work to the produced and cast. Son Mektup also tries its best not to take a vindictive stance about the enemy powers of the period. A war is a war, and even the character of a Turkish general comments on the deceased English soldiers on a warship that has just been bombed, This is a huge step for Turkish filmmakers endeavoring to produce films leaning on militarism.

This movie has been released just couple of days ago and it's a awful movie,The movie tries to tell viewers "Ataturk has done nothing in the Gallipoli war",and they mentioned his name in the movie only once and then nothing,what a shame...he is Our leader and Founder of Turks,This awful movie tries to do effect on us to forget about him but we never will,Do not you never ever forget about that... If i were you i would go watch another nice movie but not this garbage because it s totally totally not worth to watch,Really awful. Don't waste your time. if even they give you money to watch it you will regret and you will never take back that hours from your life. You will suffer and suffer. There is no subject on that movie

son mektup is a poorly directed movie. the script feels like it's written sloppy. the acting is another weakness of the movie. religious words and shouting is not enough giving the feeling of a battle which is won under very difficult circumstances.

i hardly endured till the end of it. i don't think i will ever remember son mektup a couple of weeks later.

plus, the movie is allegedly funded by an initiative that has the purpose of distorting the actual battle of gallipoli according to their political perspective. i think historical movies should be fair to their own realities.

not recommended.
