adonis98-743-186503 The family of a left-wing journalist is torn apart after a military coup in 1980's Turkey. Baham ve Oglum is not a kind of film that deserves an 8.5/10 hell it doesn't even deserve to have a 3.2/10 it's just that bad and boring. The film's main protagonists were also very horrible and just phoning it in, the storyline was also very muddled and cheesy. I hope that one day truly good films go into the Top 250 and not films like this or anything else like that cause other great movies fall short on being in there and it's not fair at all to me and i'm sorry. (0/10)
CinemaClown Crafted with tenderness, told with composure & sincerely brought to life by its cast, My Father and My Son (also known as Babum ve Oğlum) is a story of loss, grief & broken relationships that paints an evocative portrait of father-son bonding, and is as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking.My Father and My Son tells the story of Sadık, a Turkish man who returns to his hometown with his son to reunite with his estranged family. Although everyone at home is elated to have him back, his relationship with his father still needs mending, which he hopes to accomplish before it's too late.Written & directed by Çağan Irmak, the film features a simple premise but packs a lot of emotions that's honestly captured. All the characters are embedded with meaty arcs but it's the sum of their relationship with each other & a sense of history between them that provides the necessary weight to it.The father-son dimension between Sadık & his son as well as Sadık & his father is portrayed in an earnest manner, and all the actors play their part responsibly to make their interactions genuine & share a wonderful chemistry together. Camera-work is no slouch, pacing is steady, and music really complements the whole narrative.On an overall scale, My Father and My Son is a skilfully directed & deftly scripted family drama that pays proper attention to its characters & their relationships, develops those bonds at a steady rate, and at times even indulges in a child's imagination to add more depth to its tale before finishing on an emotionally hefty note. Definitely one of Turkish cinema's finest works, My Father and My Son is absolutely worthy of a broader audience.
Kristiani Natalie Its story is very deep,after as real life. Çetin Tekindor's acted was represent. More again, when Fikret Kuskan aka Sadik was dead. Visible he was hurt with Sadik's death. Its film is as puzzle. First, when Deniz was born. Not hot, not rain, suddenly Sadik was prison. After more far, I know the reason Sadik was prison, because his activity as journalist. Can accepted mind. Two, after death Sadik, when Deniz tried video camera from his grandpa. This really dream or not. For this,I can't more speak.Each film be a goof. The direction of camera when Sadik apologized with his dad, made a dizzy. Better that, after Sadik fainted, the camera was fading out. When Huseyin knew his son was fainting, directed the scene was fading in. But all the story is very good.
Armand a family. trace of past. lines of present. and a touching end. Father and son is a collection of themes. and a splendid example to define each in a delicate and precise manner. it is touching and special film in contemporary Turkish filmography. it is special for the art of a young director to use old ingredients in a new manner. nothing spectacular, only old truth sides. but the result is a profound exploration of viewer universe - the relationship with the other, the family importance, the new chance, the error and its price, the miracle. sure, it is a Balkan movie. but its message is universal. its beauty is out of definitions. the inspired acting, the force of images, the music are only parts of an impressive story , a fairy tale with strong roots in reality.
