I like to start all Kemal Sunal's films with the same comment. Kemal Sunal is a great gift to us, the Turkish people. It is such a gift that; Our generation, the next generation, and even the generation after that will benefit from this. His value should always be known and his memory should always be kept alive. Going back to our movie The King of Garbagemen; We have all watched the master's films and memorized many of his scenes. As one of them, I knew a few scenes in this movie. But when I watched the movie from beginning to end in one go, the movie made much more sense to me. I watched another movie with very important messages. The place and importance of the King of Garbagemen in my opinion is; Kibar Feyzo, one of the most important films that will be released a year later and criticize the feudal system, is a warm-up with this film. Just as a humorous criticism was made against hierarchy in this film, a year later in our other film, the bar was raised and the feudal system was criticized. The fact that the cast of the two films is almost exactly the same supports my opinion. In this respect, it is an important movie for me. Even though it lags behind Sunal master's many films in terms of comedy, I think the drama and criticism in the film are elements that should be taken into consideration. Another issue I wanted to mention was the performance of Erdal Ozyagcilar, my favorite character in the movie. For some reason, I found it so successful that, even though it did not have many roles, it attracted my attention as much as other great actors. I wanted to open parenthesis. I end my comment by thanking the staff of Mimar Sinan University for giving us the chance to watch these magnificent films in their restored form. You are great.
