Arif V 216

If you are a non-Turkish moviegoer, most of this movie might make no sense at all. For the uninitiated, it's just another sci-fi comedy revolving around an odd couple who goes back to the past and messes everything up hilariously. However, for a Turkish person, it is full of references to black-and-white melodramatic movies, colorful yet still melodramatic musicals and so forth. In addition, Arif and 216 are already well-known and much-liked by the Turkish audience from their previous roles in GORA and AROG.

The movie uses many cliches of old Turkish films by twisting or combining them in a weird way to create comedy plots. And, it is clear that particularly Sadri Alisik has a special place for Cem Yilmaz, because the film heavily borrows themes and stroylines from his works.

It's a solid 5 for the internationals and 7 for the Turkish audience.

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!!!

Firstly, it has elements from GORA. If you didn't watch GORA, i recommend to watch it before.

This movie has many references to particular movies. I don't really recommend to watch this movie if you are not Turkish or have information about Turkish Cinema. Because most of the references about old Turkish movies.

It was absorbing until end but ending disappointed me a little. Even though it was the best Cem Yilmaz movie for me.

Arif v 216 is a bit of a back step considering the previous films AROG and GORA. Yet I firmly believe it achieves what it sought. The film is mainly about traveling back to 1960s and experience the naive sentimentality of those times through the lens of Turkish movies of that time. Thus, one could enjoy the luxury of meeting all the greats of Turkish cinema in 1960s as if one were in a parade. The directing of the film is quite satisfactory. The acting of the lead actors is also quite good. The plot flows quite smoothly, which makes the viewing very enjoyable. Technically speaking, the film was almost flawless. All in all, I could say that with all the reference to our nostalgia included, the film is absolutely a nice and easy watch. However, I cannot state that it is a great film. It is a good film worth watching and enjoying oneself.

I adviced you for get rid of stress or distress; forgetting daily problems,let it all hang out.My slogan is little laugh, much smiling for this movie. I think your friends give you much laughter in a cafe by paying the same ticket cost. it is so so. Dont expect to be much happy , it is bored me a lot scene.
