I wouldn't demonize it, but it's a joke to consider this movie belong the 50 best of the 70's.

I watched the movie and I didn't like it. The fact that it was Turkish had nothing to do with it.

Highly disturbing on so many levels. The lead beats his wife, cheats on her, abandons his child, and she is the one who is supposed to worry about whether he will forgive her or not!

A pile of steaming shit!! Stay far away. This is a morally reprehensible film.

I won't even start on the horrendous script, acting, directing, editing and insanely horrendous voice over thoughts, which seem to be there to indicate to the audience that these characters are not just screwed up, but also moronic.

This left a sour taste in my mouth, not even so much because of the movie itself, but because even 45 years later, this is still the mindset of so many people out there.

The moral criticisms here are petty misfires. The lesson of this movie was obviously not "cheating and abuse are good", it was "don't gamble with your family through cheating and abuse". All the characters were treated sympathetically, which is generally a *good* thing. I don't like to be condescended to with black and white hats.

A hint for those who watch it on YouTube with English subtitles: The subtitles there are badly translated, out of sync and do not do the film justice.

Saw this one many times on Turkish TV throughout my youth and adulthood.

It has brilliant music.

The dilemna of the choice between the adoptive father, comfy but not really loved, and the returning true father and lover, is the subject of the movie Fanny, second part of the « trilogie marseillaise » Marius - Fanny - César (Marcel Pagnol, 1931 -1932 -1936). At some point I had the impression of a remake. I found the trilogy more subtle in the description of the moral disarray of the heroes, or at least more smart in the construction of the situation.
Of course being a french those movies are part of my culture…
On a second thought i notice another similarity : Marius is in love with the sea, which will drive him to leave Fanny, and Ilyas is in love with his truck…

sometimes people have some capabilities to love without any expectation, they even forget how much pain they get from that. they cannot stop themselves. to understand this unrequited love, you have to love and be loved. the love in this movie is innocent and they do not expect any other thing from each other but love. so the figure who gives pain might be the woman, it doesn't matter.
