Cep Herkülü: Naim Süleymanoglu

You need to watch if you wonder about a heros life.

The movie was way better than my expectations: everything was just at the right amount. The nostalgia was sweet enough, music choice was delightful, visuals were amazing, acting was realistic and there was no unnecessary stuff like extra romance. And the kid that played child Naim and the man played adult Naim looked so alike that I almost wondered if they filmed the movie for like 10 years :D

Rest in peace Naim Süleymanoglu. He is definitely a true hero for Turkish people. We owe him so much.

I've stumbled upon this movie almost by accident, but it turned out to be a really good one.

The life and atmosphere of Bulgaria in the late 70s and 80s is VERY well represented - it was exactly like that.

And I do remember watching him on TV as a kid, cheering, as he was winning all these medals while he was still competing for BG.

As a Bulgarian I can say the movie is very balanced and authentic, and it's like a small a bridge between the two neighboring nations.

Naim was really a great man, and he had a great cause, and he helped not only his folks, but also the whole country of Bulgaria to get rid of the communist rule - as it crumbled soon after these events (in late 1989).

Must watch movie.

Great movie! The true story of a sports legend and probably the most successful one in Turkish history! You will definitely have your tears drop from your eyes.. He is a Turkish hero! The movie itself is very impressive and dramatic! Definitely a must watch!
