Alicia I love this movie so much
Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
ilhanparlak as a man who has watched this film a few times, i fill with tears even as i read the comments here. just watch it, u will have a very special experience. just to fill the lines needed:), another thing that i find out from this movie and the comments about this movie is that people from different cultures and geographies can feel the same emotions about family, father&son etc. this film can touch anybody's heart as i see
CinemaClown Crafted with tenderness, told with composure & sincerely brought to life by its cast, My Father and My Son (also known as Babum ve Oğlum) is a story of loss, grief & broken relationships that paints an evocative portrait of father-son bonding, and is as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking.My Father and My Son tells the story of Sadık, a Turkish man who returns to his hometown with his son to reunite with his estranged family. Although everyone at home is elated to have him back, his relationship with his father still needs mending, which he hopes to accomplish before it's too late.Written & directed by Çağan Irmak, the film features a simple premise but packs a lot of emotions that's honestly captured. All the characters are embedded with meaty arcs but it's the sum of their relationship with each other & a sense of history between them that provides the necessary weight to it.The father-son dimension between Sadık & his son as well as Sadık & his father is portrayed in an earnest manner, and all the actors play their part responsibly to make their interactions genuine & share a wonderful chemistry together. Camera-work is no slouch, pacing is steady, and music really complements the whole narrative.On an overall scale, My Father and My Son is a skilfully directed & deftly scripted family drama that pays proper attention to its characters & their relationships, develops those bonds at a steady rate, and at times even indulges in a child's imagination to add more depth to its tale before finishing on an emotionally hefty note. Definitely one of Turkish cinema's finest works, My Father and My Son is absolutely worthy of a broader audience.
rafi-jif-202-341132 first of all i don't understand Turkish but with the help of sub i watched it simply its the best movie i have ever watched and i assume it will stay the same until end of my lifetime !! every single character in the movie was so perfect i was speechless story line , screenplay , direction , background music , omg end point the three main characters A MAN AND HIS FATHER AND HIS SON all three character actors have done beyond imaginable ... his son i assume maybe 4 or 5 not sure gosh man .. i have watched movies in all genres Thriller : memories of murder (Korean) TO the body (Spanish) TO Triangle (English) Drama & Gangster : Shaw shank Redemption to Godfather Family : life is beautiful to Forrest gump Serial Killer & Horror : The silence of the lamb to The othersbut Babam ve Oglam (my father my son) beats it all don't miss the opportunity, its pure class in many ways as you may take it
curreir Having seen a lot of Turkish films, I do agree with someone writing in this site that this is perhaps the best Turkish movie ever and one that can hold proudly its place amongst the best worldwide. Everything is perfect, direction, photography, acting, you cannot help but feel for its characters and identify with them, especially if you share the same location in the map, similarities in history and personality traits.I loved the child actor, he can make you smile and cry, but also the whole movie is about feelings, pain, sadness, anger, love, forgiveness and most important the joy of life.Another strong point is the music, made by the Greek composer Euanthia Reboutsika. Gave the movie wholeheartedly a 10 rating! I wish there were more of its kind.
