Anatolian Rock Equal Cem Karaca

Watching a film that so profoundly captures the life and music of Cem Karaca was an extraordinary experience. The film brilliantly reflects Karaca's sensitivity to social issues and the messages he embedded in his music. Witnessing Karaca's life, struggles, disappointments, and passions takes the audience back to 1970s Turkey, evoking the turbulent spirit of that era. The music within the film breathes new life into Karaca's iconic works while shedding light on the political and social turmoil of the time. This film is an unforgettable piece for anyone who wants to understand and rediscover Cem Karaca.

congratulations!

We have many celebrities who have faced significant challenges in life. The movies are great, but one frustrating part has always been that we couldn't hear the voice of the person whose life was being depicted. This film, however, truly stands out-it's complete, from the direction to the acting, kudos to everyone involved. The storyline and flow are incredibly engaging, effectively highlighting both the subject and their struggles. I feel that previous films should have included the actual voice of the person whose life was being portrayed; it was a very noticeable omission. But finally, this has been seen and addressed by the writer and director. I can honestly say this is one of the best biographical films I've watched in recent times. I genuinely enjoyed it and hope this level of quality continues. Ismail Hacioglu was an excellent casting choice-congratulations!

Father of Anatolian Rock

Frankly, as a metalhead and music lover, I have rarely listened to Anatolian rock. One of these rock legends is Cem Karaca. I remember Cem Karaca as he is a very cool and good voiced singer. I liked the movie and enjoyed it. It was a movie that was sometimes funny, sometimes serious, and sometimes dramatic. After reading about Cem Karaca after the movie, I learned that many things were not explained. Is this bad ? Of course. Cem Karaca grew up in an artist family. Moreover, they were not poor. That's why I appreciated that it wasn't explained since childhood. I also found it successful in terms of costumes, make-up and locations. The acting was also very good. I think the actors who played Cem Karaca's wives did not do a good job. Although Fikret Kuskan and Yasemin Yalçin overacted a little, they were generally very good. Ismail Hacioglu acted really well. He did a very successful performance, whether in terms of voice, speaking style or singing. He sang the songs of the movie himself, bravo! Finally, although I was a little annoyed that it didn't explain many things, it was still not a bad movie. At least we listened to Cem Karaca songs. Ismail Hacioglu's work was really good.
