Well let's be honest. Turkish cinema is not one of the brightest these days. We have Nuri Bilge Ceylan doing some arthouse movies once in a couple years taking away Cannes prizes and thats it. Thank God there is another man who tries to do something new with each of his projects. Cem Yilmaz. He seems like Fellini and Benigni's love child with some hardcore Turkish ancestry. In this movie he somehow did manage to show us the whole country with only a handful of actors and one stage. We all are already disturbed. Every one of us just wanna have o normal life. A bit of happiness. Love for sure. Why is it so hard to some to achieve such basic needs? Is it their fault? Is it because of everyone else? The pandemic? God? I dont know! Neither does Isac! He tries and hopes for the best. Just like you and me. Not gonna lie, a little bit more like me.

In 1974, Türkiye did not listen to the words of the United States and carried out the Cyprus operation. After that, Turkey, which was embargoed by the United States, was also the victim of this bespoke film.

According to Hayes, both Stone and Parker misrepresented his experiences during his incarceration and included gross exaggerations of his treatment in jail and of his encounters with Turks during that time. Hayes told reporters in Istanbul that he has been trying for years to correct these misperceptions in the media, but that his voice was drowned by the powerful images created by the film and its makers. Underlining that he had made friendships with many Turks, before and after he was incarcerated, he noted that the movie's storyline did not depict even one such "good Turk." Long story short, this movie is one of the first cancel culture experiments in history. If any of you feel sorry for Billy because of what he went through in the movie, just know that he didn't...

It was a movie that did what the big studios couldn't. I was disgusted, shuddered, laughed and excited. The production looks like an amateur film and manages to do things that professionals cannot do. I think we have a modern icon brought into horror cinema. The only thing that worries me is that the scenes shot with children are such that they can cause mental problems. Normally, the scenes where children will play are shot separately so that they cannot witness the brutality. I guess it wasn't paid much attention because it was an independent production.

Apart from that, I think it is a wonderful example of the exploitation cinema that we miss from the 80s.
