Pek Yakinda

Let me start by saying this movie is pretty darn good. Good acting, amazing cast, and the best of all are those tiny details that make you chuckle. This movie is by no means is just a run off the mill cheap comedy or a stand-up show.

Watch it and pay attention to details.. You will at least like it if not truly enjoy it. Especially if you grew up in Turkey and know the "Yesilcam" culture. I loved all the references made those movies we all watched and loved as kids.

Some of the reviews I read on this site was really unfortunate. I couldn't help but notice most of the bad reviews was also written in not so good English. Not trying to be mean or anything but please; just stop!!! (Not "Green Pine" like some idiot said. Seriously??? Do you call Hollywood "Kutsal Odun"?) What's with you people?

Anyway, bottom line is; I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend everyone to watch it. Keep up the good work Cem :)

Cem Yilmaz is the genius of telling the hilarious and sarcastic stories about the dramas, worst conflicts and deep sorrows of human life. The movie has all the elements a good movie is supposed to perform such as good character descriptions, attention to details, a unique message, interesting plot, a clear theme plus lots of ironi, humorous accidents, epic paradoxes and twists, some righteous criticism, etc are top of the cherry. This is another of his work that has many lines still make me laugh whenever I watch the movie again or come across with the excerpts. Pek Yakinda also finely reflects love, loyalty and admiration he has for Yesilcam and its actors and actresses. But the best part of the movie is its ending as I like happy endings.

Being one of the best comedians of our time (if not THE best) and an incredibly talented actor, Cem Yilmaz surely makes one go to the cinema with great expectations, and with Pek Yakinda, he certainly does not disappoint. His directorial debut is a heart-warming, carefully crafted movie which delivers all the laughter the audience expects, along with quality acting by a fantastic cast and a good story which involves friendship, family and the cinema industry in Turkey. It also shows the wide range of Cem Yilmaz's acting skills, and the movie is full of surprising guest stars in addition to the main characters, each and every one of whom deserve major applause for their parts. In particular, Caglar Corumlu's performance exceeds expectations and makes him the shining star of the movie! Long story made short, I cannot imagine anyone who'd regret seeing this film, and I strongly recommend it to anyone who's interested in a good Turkish movie filled with elements of fun and love on top of Cem's genius work.

He is really a man! He does good job. For me, it started and finished in a moment. Not boring. Many emotions . Congratulates!

Outcomes:

• It means a lot to Turkish because in the movie many terms and names including Sadri Alisik, Gulyabani, Hafize Ana , Body Ekrem and Eskiya are associated with Yesilcam.

-In early 70's, cinema halls started to get empty due to the creation of public TV network. This was the start of shooting erotic film in Turkey. Interesting fact for those who did not know.

• Soundtracks, Kimse Bilmez, Neden Bana Ask Sarkisi Yazan Olmaz, and Sevemez Kimse Seni perfectly fit with the scenes.

• Istanbul Toy Museum is the only toy museum in Turkey. Must-see place in Istanbul.

• White lies are not bad as long as you avoid hurting someones feeling.

• Turkish men are jealous.

• People may break promises after so long time.

• An end can be a beginning.

• Celebrities do not have a wonderful life.

• Fathers are sometimes just amazing.

• Never loose hope.

• Money rules.

...

Although Cem Yilmaz works with the same faces again, he did a great job. I appreciate to see how much he loves his culture and values. And wants to demonstrate how unique they are.

Cok Tesekkurler Cem. Gurbette Iyi Geldi.
