Tosun Pasa

it's a real funny film that will guaranteed to make you laugh. an incredible cast and brilliant performances make this film a master piece for Turkish cinema. it's about a poor (and a bit stupid) man who acts as Tosun Pasa who is a strong, rich and famous commander. lucky for the poor man that the people who he tries to deceive have never seen Tosun Pasa before. from then some romance and lots of comedy is waiting for you to watch and have fun. it's not a wonderful story by all means though, but it doesn't mean that the film isn't good. it's a wonderful film that will make you laugh and feel good. definitely 5 out of 5! and if you like this film (you're gonna like it!), then check out "Sut Kardesler" and the series of "Hababam Sinifi".

One of the funniest Turkish movies Tosun Pasa requires that it must be seen in its original language Turkish... Unfortunately, if a non-Turkish speaker tries to enjoy the movie via subtitles, s/he will probably fail so. Besides, the movie will appear to be absurd. However, for Turkish people, it is a golden classic as can be seen from the ratings. Kemal Sunal and Sener Sen who were the most famous comedians of that time resembles Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau or maybe Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. They have many other movies acting together where Kemal Sunal plays the dumb but the lucky one and Sener Sen plays the person frustrated by the acts of the other and unlucky one. "Hababam Sinifi" is another wonderful movie of this couple...

Thanks to incredible skills of Kemal Sunal, this film is a real piece of art. It also shows us a glimpse of what Sener Sen had in stock those days, when he wasn't as famous as today. Famous Turkish actress Mujde Ar also shows herself in this film. As usual, Halit Akcatepe is the partner of Kemal Sunal in the frenzy. The struggle of two families for Green Valley and their strange methods of occupying the area, women's musical fight in Turkish bath and the moment of truth are to be seen. Although this film looks like Sut Kardesler in terms of atmosphere, in my opinion, Tosun Pasa is the better one for sure. One cannot stop laughing. Non-stop fun!

It is hard to explain my feelings about that movie. However, it is easy to say that it is the best comedy made in Turkey, with no doubt. Kemal Sunal ans Sener Sen, who are the best two actors of Turkey, was reached the highest point of their acting career by this movie. The strange part of the movie is that you can easily find new funny pieces even though you saw it hundred times already. Another is that my father me and probably my son find something to love this movie. This is a movie that anyone from different ages, different social statue, etc. can love and define it as the best Turkish movie that they have seen. Moreover, in my view, foreign people could laugh on it with a well translation.

I think most of the Turkish people are agree with me that tosun paþa is the one of the best films in turkey. First of all in the film there are lots of great players like kemal sunal,sener sen,adile nasit,aysen gruda..etc. They are great players who were played usually in comedy films which become classics like süt kardeþler,gulyabani and davaro. And film scenario was written by yavuz turgul who directed eskiya,muhsin bey and golge oyunu. Well they are great movies too. Finally words cannot be enough to describe the greatness of this great film,you have to watch this film.(but i think its DVD is not on the sell)
