Pek Yakinda

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.

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 :)

Pek Yakında is the best of Cem Yilmaz movies in my opinion. It is funny, gives messages, includes many topics, has some references to a few popular Hollywood movies such as Avatar, Fight Club, Oceans 11. I don't like every movie but I recommend this to everyone. The music in the film belongs to the group, MFO and perfectly fits the subject, the rhythm is great. You don't get bored during the film, instead final of it is not easily predictable. Caglar Corumlu is very funny as always and Ozan Guven acts so naturally. The scene in the hospital where main characters argue about finding a new actor for their film is nice and surprising in that they make fun of themselves and Yilmaz Erdogan appears suddenly in the scene..

Cem yilmaz's movies have subtle references that you may know/understand if you watch carefully and know about other movies. I like the part for Eskiya movie where he gives a hug as if like to represent all others who watched that movie and wanted to give a hug to Eskiya which is about die. Very good movie and very good cast!

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.
