Canim Kardesim

The story is like the Grave of the Fireflies, which is the most impressive War-movie. This is the only film you can see Tarik Akan playing not a playboy in his youth. This is his best performance. Besides the best part of the movie is the music and scenario.

Don't ever miss this peak in Turkish drama

Turk ve Dunya sinema tarihi için unutulmaz bir Drama Basyapiti

"Canim Kardesim" is the saddest movie of Turkish film industry aka. "Yesilcam". The director Ertem Egilmez is generally makes film on comedy. Back in days critics told him you can't shoot drama. And his answer was "I'm gonna shoot a drama and you all gonna cry." Finally he made this movie and we all crying every time we watched Canim Kardesim.

There are tons of things to write about quality and essence of Canım Kardeşim. (My Dearest Little Brother) At first sight it looks like an ordinary melodrama (Melodramas had a great power on Turkish viewer especially at late 70's and early 80's) but the realistic aspect of storytelling and good actors, (Tarık Akan, Halit Akçatepe, with their small role Metin Akpınar and legendary Kemal Sunal) it differs from others. The main keywords of the film are terminal sickness of a child, poverty, dysfunctional family, hard life conditions and television era on Turkey. Spaghetti eating scene, clean urine sample buying scene and final scene were unforgettable. Every foreign people who wants to learn turk style arabesque and emotionality of them or every ex-pat who lives in Turkey must watch this film to understand the crybaby turks.
