tanurezza MY first Turkish movie and worth watching it. My cousin suggested me this movie first. He is a really cold hearted person but when he suggested me this movie and told he never cried this much before, I was so surprised. Now after watching this movie ai can understand what he meant there. This movie is just a small piece of a world which is getting destroyed by the current stupid digitalization and globalization. This is the wirld where a person always wants to go for relief. I was always a nature loving person and preferred village life over city life. So this movie had no flaws in making my heart shaken for once more. I fell in love with nature, village life, easy normal yet strong bonds between families, animals by watching Mucize. Thank you so much Allah for this life.

Doug Clark First, many thanks to all the Turkish and Zaza Kurdish reviewers who wrote out of their own experience in the cultures shown in the film. It's not easy to do that in one's second or third language. As someone who has worked very hard on his Turkish, I know this firsthand. My wife and I watched Mucize together with the subs; our ear for eastern rural pronunciation is weak, since we lived entirely in Izmir and Istanbul. The story is, as other have pointed out, both simple and profound. Simple because village life in the early 1960s (the time I first went to Turkey on military duty) was one of very little contact with the outside world. Profound in the fact that, yes, unconditional love does "cover a multitude of sins" and shortcomings. Turks and Kurds can be profoundly loving. They can also be deeply disrespectful and cruel toward the handicapped and less fortunate. As can Americans. I say this out of a years long personal friendship with a young man in his 30s who is, even today, as severely handicapped as Aziz. My greatest wish for a stronger and even more moving film is this: the true story here is not the love of the village or the schoolteacher, even though those elements were a huge part of the story. The real story is what takes place between Aziz and his wife in the minutes (years) between their leaving the village and their return. What challenges did they overcome together? HOW did she "love" him from the severely crippled and incoherent young man in the first two hours of the film, into the handsome, well-spoken, well-presented man we see in the final few minutes? THAT is the real miracle, and yet we are denied that story. THAT story is the story of how to restore and rebuild and redeem a life that, to all appearances, seems beyond hope. I hope the director will one day tell THAT story because it will be the one that moves viewers beyond admirable expressions of sympathy, and into action that will, like Aziz's wife, and Aziz himself, create real miracles.

Nezih Oktar Based on a true story was crafted a great film. The power of love in the name of humanity, nature, love of country and unique images accompanied by children. Talented players and a friendly and natural rendering of the theme with them. Disabled man's role is admirable. Artistic nature images from the corner of Eastern Anatolia watchable and catchy. If you are craving of 1960s in the frames of the movie will take you to that date, unless this particular corner of the world. I have to admit, director of this film is also a famous singer and musician but I'm not a big fan of him, but this movie is great. The makers and players need to celebrate.

celik-663-685980 "Aziz" Character is very realistic according to me. All the other villagers are so, except the teacher who is from the Western part of Turkey. Use of the camera is excellent with very beautiful scenes of East Anatolia. However the teacher character is a bit forced/synthetic whatever you may call it. For example he speaks with a heavy Western Turkey accent all through the movie but starts to talk with a Zaza dialect of Kurdish during his first days in the school but his Turkish never changes which is a bit odd. Costumes are hundred percent right for the 60's. To sum up I deem it as a good Turkish movie made in recent times.
