for the last decade the turkish cinema have be just churn out low down comedy like kahpe bizans and gora . this movie which have be call the turkish cinema paradiso be one of those rare smart examples out of turkish cinema . in the 60 in a small anatolian village recep and mehmet be two youngster and work a apprentice in a small town near their village . recep help a watermelon vendor and while mehmet work with a barber . crazily in love with cinema and they spend their evening try to make a makeshift film projector . one day and recep meet a widow with two daughter who live in the town and have come to pick unripe watermelon for her cow . frequently visit their home from then on to have tea or breakfast and recep start like the elder daughter and nihal . a for the girl and she be disturb by have a peasant boy around the house and treat him as rudely a she can though she be also pretty much interested in catch attention of recep . her young sister guler and on the other hand and like recep and but the feeling be not mutual in that case . towards the end of the movie we see the watermelon vendor sell all of his product by tell a one liner represent if you build up your ship out of watermelon you will sink down fast . recept can not be together with nihal either because they turn out to have move before he open his feeling . so much to dream so little to realize . impressive but not perfect . the two young actor look artificial at some point though their general performance be satisfactory enough . nevertheless this movie deserve acclaim on the ground that it not a potboiler produce out of commercial concern .
