My Father and My Son is one of the biggest blockbuster dramas film in Turkey and it has terrific scenario and wonderful acting. The main characters are Sadik, Deniz and Huseyin and the Director is Cagan Irmak who became more popular after this film. The film is set in Istanbul and an Aegean Village in Izmir. Sadik is a university student in Istanbul. His father Huseyin wants him to study Agricultural Engineering so he can manage the big family farm. In University Sadik attends some political activities, which is against the army, but his father Huseyin doesn't like that and he doesn't want to see Sadik in the future.
After university Sadik becomes a journalist and gets married but his wife dies while giving birth to their child Deniz. Then Sadik contracts a terminal illness and has to go his father’s village. Sadik also meets his first love who is now married and has two children. However, his illness gets worst and Sadik passes away. His parents take over the responsibility of Deniz. The plot focuses on the relationship between father and son and grandfather. I definitely recommend the film to anyone who likes dramatic comedy. It is true Dramatic comedy because you can (BE) sure that during the film you will laugh and cry together. It is fantastic. By Mehmet Ersoy |
