Reflects the Turkish people I know very well, however the movie has some minor flaws

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2017)

I cried while watching the movie, I would like to admit that. The way that the movie flashbacks to the lives of the soldiers and their inner selves was fascinating. Especially the quality of the side stories were impressive. They were so realistic. However the part where the special forces soldiers decided to sacrifice themselves for the village raised some questions. It sounded a bit like cliché hero movie. Other than that the director has no problems with killing heroes, which defeated the cliché a little bit. The CGI was relatively weak, and also the camera angles and shot transitions felt a little weird. I believe the strongest part of the movie was the side stories also the conversations between the soldiers. I heard some music from Kaan Tangoze (the vocalist of Duman) in the movie. I listened to his songs through all my high school years. There were also some political messages inside the movie. It was mainly about freedom of speech and press. I felt so much connection with the movie.
