Mustafa Hakkinda Hersey

No doubt the lead characters has given some really good performance and somehow decent quality production for Turkish cinema. the plot is not that new , there are such same movies like same plot where wife died and husband found out that she was unfaithful (red shoe diaries by zalman king).

the movie has some huge flaw in start , the reason behind why wife goes unfaithful ? because husband is busy or very uptight ? and when the story starts about the wife when she sitting n crying in Cab , then later there is no such thing that why she was crying that moment.

the movie also some side story line of husband too but it doesnt connect to the main plot but it does connect to the ending which make it not satisfying or good ending.

Nice attempt to improve the Turkish Movie Industry but its plot is not an original idea. The performances of the players are praiseworthy, but it seems to me that it has some inefficiencies in screenplay. Especially, after the kidnapping of Fikret, the dialogs between him and Mustafa are sometimes very hilarious. I mean this is a high tension movie (at least it is expected to be) and those ridiculous speeches cause me to lose my attention and desire to the kidnapping incident. Fikret Kuskan and Nejat Isler were so successful, and even her small part Basak Koklukaya was awesome.. Despite of all above negative points, I think it is worth to watch this movie; 6.5/10

A perfect movie. After watching "old boy" i thought a revenge movie could not be better than this movie. But i am so happy to have change of watching "Mustafa Hakkinde Hersey." One important point of this movie is Fikret Kuskan. i show respect him. For the last few years he shows his quality. i think he will have an Oscar for the next ten years. Mor ve Otesi, A rock group from Turkiye. They also fit the movie completely. Sometimes revenge is a meeting with your past. Reasons of many problems are hidden in our past. And as tagline Actually, nothing is what it seems. After seeing this film you need some time to think mustafa and your-self. A life without any lies. Could this be possible?

With everyone around him faking it and him being ignorant to the actual feelings of people in his life, Mustafa gets sucked into a paradigm shift after an unlucky(?) accident places a stranger as the key to piece together his collapsed life. Yet, Mustafa will find more than what he was looking for and maybe much more than he wished for as he listens to his life told to him in a way he never perceived before. The more it is revealed, the more he discovers what has been told cannot be untold and its ramifications keeps resonating until one becomes part of oblivion. Sometimes to live on, we choose what we see and what we believe in even if it is a lie and Mustafa will not have that luxury to live on as he used to from now on, not anymore...and you will have your share of it after Mustafa touches your life. With Mustafa going through a wide spectrum of emotional turmoil, Fikret Kuskan(Mustafa)'s performance is the highlight of the movie while Nejat Isler(Fikret)'s performance shouldn't be left unnoticed as his character goes through his share of frustration and victim psychology. Even though there were some plot problems with the coherence of the movie, overall this movie was a long due achievement for the Turkish Movie Industry with the wonderful choice of "Mor ve Otesi" as the soundtrack. Get a glass of wine and enjoy this wonderful movie and maybe you will get the urge to see the fireflies as well before everything is over.

With the potential of many alternative endings, "Mustafa Hakkinda Hersey" is a very successful movie. It is about some two or three days of a man who lost his wife in a surprising manner, and a lot more. The translation of the title is "Everything about Mustafa" since it covers his all life with minor flashbacks. The cinematography, the scenario, the rhythm and the actors are superb. I would be sorry if the movie is kept in the domestic market and not distributed to western audiences as well. Since I watched it on DVD, which is also well prepared in picture & sound quality, I'd advise all to find and watch it. The soundtrack made by "Mor ve Otesi" is also a good choice and goes parallel with the scenario. Mustafa ( Fikret Kushan ) presents an unexpected character with all details. Overall, for me an 8.5 rating won't be generous too.
