Incir Reçeli

Turkish romantic drama film released in 2011. We can't do comedy, we're really a disaster in the horror business, we have nothing to do with science fiction anyway. But did you say drama, we're really good at that.

When it comes to the movie, when I saw the characters, I said I can't get enough of them. But it misled me. The romance between a girl with AIDS and an unsuccessful screenwriter is told. If you remove the drinking scenes, the movie is half an hour. There are a lot of illogical scenes. But in the end, she manages to shed two drops of tears from her eyes. That's why I found it successful. The foreign version of the movie is the 1970 movie (see: Love Story) that made us life a prison for a while.

There is a bit of sexuality and nudity in the movie.

The film was a good try, but needed a lot of work. I think that, had it been more comic-faithful. It could have been difficult for non-comic readers to get into. As an emotional film, it's perfectly fine. Fig Jam is a movie 'shown value'. Before, I did not want to watch this movie.Like me too, you will not want to watch this bored movie. You will be bored in the beginning of the film. But the patience to follow the film. At the end of the movie your emotions do not listen to you. Make sure you get a handkerchief with you before the start of the movie, because at the end of the film certainly it will work. Turks began to pull away a good movie. Cheap but great, strike scenario. Whos do not like fig jam, immediately start to love, the better. Until now, this is the most beautiful films which I watched..

This film was beautiful. I disagree with the other viewer's comments. This film is not sexist. This film was also filmed in Istanbul not a small city, so I am guessing the viewer has never been to Turkey. Maybe the English translations weren't good. I don't know, I saw this film in the original Turkish and it was beautiful. Admittedly, some parts were a bit predictable and some of the symbolism was cliché, but this film explores a non-traditional love story and it has many other side stories and alternate themes that are explored. I wonder if it was based on a true story and I am very impressed with the writer/director's portrayal of a multi-faceted Turkish male character.

I read the plot before watching the movie and it caught my attention. It's nice that it's about 2 ordinary people. Turkish people are emotional and the producers who know this do not hesitate to apply the classic tactic. In other words, it was already clear that the movie would have a depressive structure. It's hard to understand why they tried to create special situations that would make the movie feel more depressed and emotional instead of letting it run its course. This effort has revealed many fictional and logic errors. It also didn't need the techniques you used to make the movie more marginal. Maybe those who like exaggerated depression and emotionality may like it, but I did not like it.

Stunning debut performance from both actor and the actress, unorthodox love story, lively music and Istanbul... if you don't set your expectations over the clouds you'll definitely love this movie. I watched it in Turkish and every single sentence does perfectly make sense but I am not sure how good the subtitles are. The only negative comment I can make, is the lack of a surprising end due to the referral made by the protagonist in the 3/4 of the movie. The age difference between the heroin and the source of HIV disease can be pointed out without making it blindingly obvious. The emotional peak of the story is very well balanced and it is far above being poor. Despite the 'generous' clue, the final scene is still kept strong enough to make you cry. I would say give it a try, you won't regret.
