Selvi Boylum Al Yazmalim

This is one of the best movies in Turkey. Even in Turkey this is so underrated. It deserves so much more. It has not that complex storyline but somehow it is amazingly effective. I don't know how they managed to make that. Of course acting carries the movie, the star Turkan Shoray is so beautiful and she carries the movie actually. But I don't think it's the only reason.

Yes... I almost forgot. I think I found what's the secret. The Scores that composed by Cahit Berkay. The scores are too great, It should be worldwide class scores. Scores also reflects the subject of the movie so good.

True love is the thing people try to find for centuries. But you will question what is "true love" while watching this classic film of Turkey.

Is it a physical attraction or is it a full devotion (sharing the good and bad sides of life). The story is a known one. An innocent girl and a passionate young man... And a third person enters their life. This could be seen as a love triangle. And the girl with the red scarf has to make a decision....

And you will think what you would do if you were Asya. You must think twice.

Without doubt, one of the most beautiful Turkish movies ever. I have seen this movie on television a while ago and I dont remember the whole details clearly. But I definitely remember bursting into tears many times during the movie. A legendary movie indeed!

I love this movie. it is one of my favorite movies. I watch it at least once a year, I love the story, the actors, the film music, everything. And even it hurts myself, I love the moral of the story. In my eyes, this film should be internationally known an recognized.

"Elveda selvi boylum, elveda Asyam. Bitmemis türküm benim...." ( a quoute from the film)

This is a story about love and faith. The author discusses the two comparable concepts based on the beautiful novel of Aytmatov.

One can say many things about the technical handling of the film. But besides, the story flows slightly and fetches the viewers eyes till the end. Questions appear on mind; What love means? What does faith mean? Can love keep a couple together? Did you ever fall in love? OK, then answer this; did you ever TRY?!?... A woman with a baby stands between a one who loved too much, and another who did try his best.

Sometimes life do not allow you to choose. It forces you through its own stream.

Kadir Inanir and Turkan Soray starred in many films together. This film is one of their best few. Ahmet Mekin was shining, as well. You'll love the movie, if you are one of those who likes stories which sparkle questions on one's mind... And a little warning; watch out for your tears...
