Çiçero

Guzel fakat fazla olay olmayan bir film. Biraz yavas

After the film, "what did I watch?" I asked myself. The film seems to have exaggerated. Erdal Besikcioglu played well, but the fiction is a bit overstated.

It is a very compelling story of a historical person who played an important role in Ankara during second war. The casting of Erdal Besikcioglu and Burcu Biricik deserves 8/10 rating. Co-acting cast is definitely at 5/10 rating. The movie sounds as if it had a bug during the sound mixage. There is an echo during dialogues and we even asked Movie Theater if the problem is with their sound system. They rechecked and confirmed that it is the original playback. Also some shooting places are not so realistic and it feels like it is shot in a studio environment.

If you say, "hey what was happening in Turkey during WW2", then this is the right movie. For while not being directly involved, Turkey was really one of the major fronts of the war in a diplomatic struggle by keeping its naturality and also its existence. Çiçero successfully makes us feel the tension in Ankara under the dark clouds of WW2. While introducing us to a really compelling story, interesting and dimentioned characters it also presents us historical perspectice and humain values. I congradulate the director and the composer for the scenes, the acts and the soundtract. Inspired by a true story still its not a documentary and it has historical errors, though its important that it is a movie if these times. I wish movies were more sticked to the facts but I believe its just not the right time, at least not yet...

The movie is at least 8/10. I have no idea why is it so underrated. I wouldn't really say anything bad about the movie. The costumes and scenes are very beautiful. Actors and actresses were really brilliant. Hopefully, this will get the attention it deserves and we'll have more movies like this one because our history is full of interesting stories to tell.
