It's been on my tongue for years; Shogun! You made the tape recorder, Haniko whistle, it was a line that we laughed and had fun with among friends. It is one of my favorite movies of Kemal Sunal.

this is about a country man who wants to marry his long time love but her stubborn greedy father will not give her up unless he pay a very high dowry. So he heads to the city to make money honestly but after that does not work he tries a hand on scheming and stealing but mucks it all over the place. this movie captures the ignorance of country people and the corrupt style of city life. but more so it is saved by the funny performance of the legend, Kemal Sunal. Yet the best part of the movie is probably the end when the small country boy ends up showing he can overcome many obstacles. Overall i would give this movie a 6/10 for its storyline but a 10/10 for its comedy.

I remember watching this when I was a child , I watched this again before giving review and it was beautiful as I remember. It was funny and tragic at the same time . World is harsh place to live in , and this movie acknowledges it .

This comedically masterpiece was so ahead of it's time. While giving information about life , society, world , it makes you laugh. Almost all side characters have "soul" , I never fully hated any character . Story is remarkable, and acting of the main character is really something . It really puts him in character .

Trying save money while working at hard labor job , may they rest in peace .
