Benim Dünyam (2013)

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Bad remake of Black, the main actors are not as good as the Hindi movie, though the Hindi one is already a remake of Miracle worker, with an Indian touch, and a Sanjay Leela Bhensaly method and trade mark of directing.. the Turkish vr. is not good enough! Overacting, bad script, the music is awful..nothing is good about this one except the beauty of Beren Saat!!!

BENİM DÜNYAM has a plot strongly reminiscent of THE MIRACLE WORKER (1962), although the earlier movie is not credited. In Uğur Yücel's sentimental piece, a young deaf and dumb girl Eda (Beren Saat) is gradually socialized into a normal life through the efforts of a dedicated teacher Mahir (Yücel). The process is not without its problems; her father (Turgay Kantürk) would much rather see her in a mental home. Out of sight, out of mind, as they say.The plot is a familiar one; and Yücel's film is not helped by a rudimentary shooting-style, alternating between shot/reverse shot and group shots. He employs only one really effective technique as he zooms slowly into close-ups of the characters' faces at moments of extreme emotion.The film is full of anachronisms - although supposed to take place over a thirty-year period, neither Eda's father or mother (Ayça Bingöl) seem to age much - unlike Mahir, who sprouts a distinguished head of gray hair as the movie unfolds. The Seventies sequences are marred by jarring moments; it highly unlikely that a bride and groom would kiss one another on the lips immediately after the wedding ceremony, especially if they were in public. Mahir's descent into Alzheimer's Disease seems unconvincing; he moves in and out of forgetfulness, and then is suddenly robbed of the power of speech until Eda "redeems" him right at the end. I wish that the disease could be so easily alleviated.Nonetheless, BENİM DÜNYAM remains highly watchable on account of Yücel's towering central performance as Mahir. His obsession is well illustrated through gestures; and his emotional concern for Eda's welfare is underlined during one particularly moving sequence when he reads out a speech prepared by her at a dinner, but finds himself unable to continue as the tears well up inside him. Yücel is supported by an effective cameo from Erdal Küçükkömürcü as a university administrator - although conscious about his position and the future of his institution, he tempers efficiency with human feeling, especially where Eda's and Mahir's futures are concerned.Perhaps the music could have been a little less intrusive - it forms a mournful backdrop to most of the scenes - but nonetheless BENİM DÜNYAM is worth a look.

Spoiler free review! Not one of the best movies I've watched. It has its parts that are not believable. The music becomes repetitive towards the end. And as far as I know, its a Turkish take to an other movie. So no, its not an original script. Being sad all that, This movie is a wonderful story and a very, very beautiful, life changing message. It will fill you with hope, joy, and peace. And after watching it you will feel vary grateful for what you have.Even thou some details will take you out of the experience, the acting of the main characters is SO GOOD that it will take you right back to it. The acting is really one of the best I've ever seen.This is exactly what a drama movie is supposed to be. As a movie, it has its flaws but as a story, as a message, as an experience... Its something that will change the world for better. I recommend it to everyone.Ps. If it was an original story I would have given it an 8.

One of the best films I have ever watched in the recent years. It is about the difficulties which a deaf and blind girl faces in the life and an teacher who changed her life from black to light. A teacher who has expertise to teach for deaf and blind people, spends around 20 years of his life for this girl and then becomes an alzheimer patient . A dream of graduation from university, which both teacher and girl had strived through communication difficulties comes to a happy ending but teacher forgets all the past , speaking, words. But that day, at graduation, may be the last time, Old teacher remembers the girl and the story ends.A drama movie. All players are highly successful. I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie. I really enjoyed it. I cried a lot.
