i be amaze at the number of thing this director must have think he could get away with . the event in the movie just can not take place the way they be portray and and there be too many of them . the basic plot be an impossible one represent i can understand a town be divide geographically by the new border and but not the story that some of it people would be leave on the other side ( and by force ) . the love story in the movie smell hollywood and it just do not belong in a southeastern anatolian town . the end be totally ridiculous . there be several inside joke in the movie that for example a foreign spectator would not get and and their presence make you think the director be not serious at all . the ambitious and job conscious civil servant character be draw in a heavy handed manner and disturbs a to the motivation of the director . propaganda make me think that it director be a half intellectual opportunist who have no respect for his own work . this movie be a total waste of time .
