profdrzihnisinir When I watched this movie for the first time back in the 70s when I was a kid, all my friends and I began pretending those guys in the movie, the way they talk and walk. Especially almost everything Sener Sen (Sakir) said in the movie became instantly part of our slang: Konusma lan: Shuddupp! Dokunma lan: Don'touch! Here is a funny (in Turkish) conversation from the movie: - Cicek Abbas: hey guys, tea for everyone from me, I buy it. Let's celebrate! I am a bus driver too now. - Sakir: I don't want your tea. - Cicek Abbas: OK, tea for everyone except Sakir. - Sakir: What do you mean by Sakir? - Cicek Abbas: Isn't your name Sakir, Sakir? What can I call you? - Sakir: You don't get it. You should call me, like Mr.Sakir, big brother, or Uncle Sakir, or Sir, Sakir. - Cicek Abbas: Oh I got it now. But I am sorry, that was old days that you were my big brother or uncle. Now I am your fellow driver, Sakirrrr!

Hüsem Korkmaz A magnificent combination of pure and sincere feelings with real-life situations. Love and passion hand in hand... One of the first works of Sinan Cetin, Cicek Abbas successfully reflects the passion of a poor lover to cope with all the difficulties he faces... Apart from the theme and wonderful acting of Ilyas Salman and Sener Sen, the musics of the film are also fascinating! Cahit Berkay's soundtracks for this film contributes quite much to the emotional deepness of the film. You will close your eyes to the outside world and your ears to the outsiders; and feel the purity of hearts which is now on the verge of extinction... Strongly recommended!

muhalifsirin This movie is a really funny movie, BUT if you are accustomed to Turkish suburban culture which was formed during 70's in great metro-pols such as Istanbul. Although its main theme is a universal one -love-, in order to understand its brilliant jokes,as I mentioned, you need to be accustomed to this culture. You can watch two of greatest artists of Turkish Cinema in this movie. Unlike other "jöns" in Turkish Cinema(Cuneyt Arkin, Kartal Tibet), Ilyas Salman and Sener Sen are great artists and showed great performance.A small note about the director: This is the first, best and the "only good" film that this director produced. Probably it is not worth to watch his other films.(Except "Propaganda" maybe, in which Kemal Sunal and Metin Akpınar shows a pretty good performance)

meria_c laugh, if you find why those people have such an expression on their faces.. i am not saying that this movie is great, but it is about a culture which no side of the city wants to accept.city is istanbul, and it's not full of good luck for everyone..
