Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
Could the world that we lived be a dystopia?
Fahrenheit 451 is originally a novel written by Ray Bradbury. Ray Bradbury was an American author and he lived between 1920 and 2012. He wrote approximately five hundred works such as novels, stories or poetry.
I want to say something briefly about the subject of the movie and the book which related it and then I will talk about some notions about the movie.
The movie, Fahrenheit 451 is about a dystopian future world. Reading activity is prohibited by the government and most of books are destroyed by their officers (firemen). Those who insist on keeping or reading books are punished. There is a strong fireman image in the story. A fireman is a destroyer and an oppression and fear elements on public. He is a preventer, and story is telling a fireman's transformation from preventer to prevented.
Okay, what can be reason of prohibiting books?
It is easy to guess. Reading activity is a key to open new horizons for society, people can reach and exceed their limits with learning new things and reading is one the most effective learning ways. The government in the story doesn't want citizens who thinking, judging or criticizing. They want to create completely obeying society and preventing books is the most important method according to them. Actually, it looks to me very similar. There is a similar system in today's world. States trying to makes us less educated, less advanced cause they need us as numbed or confirming, supporting their all ideas and applications.
So, today's world may be some kind of dystopian world as much as well.
Ray (2004)
Being Ray
Ray is a biographical movie and focusing parts of Ray Charles' private life and music career. Ray Charles is a legendary musician, as many people know. He tried to integrate different kinds of music and helped to social change in American culture. He was lost his sight when he was a kid because of a disease, and he had to learn to live without seeing when his childhood.
The movie built two main images. One of them is his little brother and other is his mother. His brother symbolized his fears because he died when he was a child and Ray couldn't save him and blame himself because of his death. And the mother image is symbolized his strong parts, cause his mother was the one of the supporter and teacher about the new life without seeing.
Actually, I don't want to give too much specific information about the movie, I want to talk about being a black blind person in 1950's USA. It is important because racism had strong effects on all over the country those years. People were not equal and the black people were discriminated because of their skin colors. So, Ray Charles was the black and blind people in such an environment. Also, the regulations for disabled people were not developed properly, and there was not enough consciousness about being disabled. Therefore, he had to rely on only his remained senses to continue his life. It should be really hard to get used a life without seeing, especially if you know the better option.
Ölümlü Dünya (2018)
A total scenario blended with acting
Ölümlü Dünya or Mortal World is a movie trying to tell a story as using comedy elements about looks like ordinary family who served an ancient organization as serial killers, daily's life and how it changes quickly.
There is a settled though in Turkey if you watch a comedy movie, it must make you laugh almost all entire movie. I don't agree with those thoughts because I believed the movies which concentrate only one component (comedy) are impermanent because of filled with absurd comedy elements. So, if you are bored with such thoughts, the movie deserves a chance.
The movie is attracting the most attention in terms of directors Ali Atay and the Feyyaz Yigit member of writers. Ali Atay is a well-known actor in Turkey because of legendary Leyla and Mecnun TV series. Also, he took a part of different popular productions such as Innocent(Masum), Ayla etc. The Mortal World is his second film as director and he gets better every new movie. he keeps the audience inside of movie and doesn't let them get bored.Also, Feyyaz Yigit is a highly talented text writer and a natural-born comic person. Apparently, he has a mass influence on the scenario. Additionally, there is something need to say about other actors and actress', most of them consist of Turkey's young and talented performers, they tried to put all of their energy into the movie and it makes the movie dynamic. If you like wise and sharp humours, very likely you will enjoy the movie.
