Mariage à la turque

The same thing again. Turkish in the title but even the main characters are not Turkish. Not even half Turkish. Not even quarter Turkish. Not even someone who knows Turkish language. A half German half Indian girl with a horrible ear bleeding accent plays the Turkish girl. What did the cast director think? Not only wrong cast also very disrespectful. All those people in Germany but they couldn't find one Turkish person to play the Turkish girl. How can anything else be trustable&ture about this movie? Nothing. It's not the first or last time they2re doing this. Persian girl plays Turkish. Afgan boy plays Turkish, German plays Turkish. Nothing more than a joke. Germans should stop making films&shows about Turkish people immediately. ( Technically they've already never made them so i should say they should stop adding Türkische in movie titles)

I watched this movie as a Turkish woman who is about to get married to her German boyfriend. I had much fun :) Culture difference between Germans and Turks is big and some scenes in the movie reflect so well how nerve wracking and crazy that can get for a couple. Still, the movie is not so dramatic. It's simply fun to watch with some cool romantic scenes here and there, like the Berlin skyline scene with music from the car :)

I find Götz, the German boyfriend (whose name means nearly "ass" in Turkish) a well crafted character. Actually Florian David Fitz who plays Götz brought me to this movie and he pulled Götz off with grace. Aylin, the Turkish girl played by a non-Turkish actress, is more of a shallow character. Wish they put more emphasis on her. A gem was Charly Hübner as Horst, the cynical best friend! Quoting: "Die Welt is schlecht, Frauen sind böse, and Maenner sind dumm." (The world is bad, women are evil, men are stupid.) Also found Katrin Sass as Götz' mother realistic and well played.

Some people say this movie is a little racist, stereotyping Turkish people. Yeah, stereotypical, but I didn't get offended as a Turkish person watching it.

I enjoy watching films that remind me of home. Germans and Turks just make great partners, they love and hate each other - just like two people who have been married for a while ;0) The people displayed in this movie are so real, their language, their accents and wonderful sentence structure :0) Makes me think how my English works for natives here :0) I loved every minute of watching it. Cute main actors. Altogether a great cast, yummy 'Curry Wurst' and cool Turkish and international music. Funny and Real. I am definitely going to watch the movie with my Turkish girlfriend again and we will crack up once more. One has to be German or a Turk raised in Germany though to understand the fun in every little thing in this movie - sorry.
