I consider myself one of the biggest fans of the story of humankind going to the moon. Also big time space exploration enthusiast here. I consume all kinds of materials about the topic in a heartbeat with great interest, art, literature or right up scientific, does not matter which one.

I watched Apollo 13 one day before I watched First Man. They both claim to be true to life. According to majority of articles they are indeed both very close to reality. But I refuse to believe the most important event in humankind history could be told this much boring where the other movie nails it in the eye.

To my shock, missing things were Gene Kranz, the dramatic, epic atmosphere of mission control and these merge with extremely dry portrait of astronauts, again dull story-telling to be a ultimately mediocre movie.

Things can be dull in real life. But telling this epic tale as dull as this surely takes some effort. It can be watched as a supplementary semi-educational history material even if it can not excel at that either. Not bad, not ugly, but boring, the glorious event of human history has been made boring.

I watched all Cosmos titles. They are absolutely telling the tale of the essence of being Human. Wonder, skepticism and exploration senses are the main distinctive qualities of Humans and these make the ground for the science which is told in the series.

Every episode took me from the heart, I got sucked in a marvel. Neil deGrasse Tyson is, as always doing an excellent job on scienctific communication like an ambassador. But as he countlessly declared he's in fact carrying the torch lit by Carl Sagan who was also an excellent science and morals spokesperson.

On a personal and universal level I got deeply caught by the last five minutes of this episode. Once more I got amazed by how farsighted Carl Sagan was. Such an excellent reasoning put through such well put words shuddered me both in a belief to better side of special humans in the past and in an embarrassment of the current qualities of an average human beings.

We need much more Cosmoses. This is the thing which should be mainstream. Amazing as always.

I was born in the infamous year 1984, which is the name of the Orwell's book that tells us about the facism at its prime. In turn, a bitter coincidence brought us the present day where most of the human values are getting erased from the existance, primarily in countries like us, but generally in everywhere. So oh, you tell me is this movie important for me.

Iftarlik Gazoz is a movie which tells our story from the heart. This is at its core is Turkey with struggles between the right wing that always seeks power and status quo and the left wing (most of it except radicalists) seeks solutions such as education to lift the country to an upper level. I for one who loves political stand points so if you are one of us you'll most definately love this.

Eventhough the main plot is the struggle between the leftist and rightists, the movie revolves around the young boy who observes and experiences the world from his own mind resolutions. That brings us to the fact that the country, Turkey once a very naive and peaceful place in which people were very friendly to each other despite the differences. Once upon a time a master was really a half-father and before caring about her/his profit, she/he was caring her/his apprantice, mostly for the fact that she/he was a child at that time. People might not be very well educated, but they had compassion and morale values. Even religion was not so religilous as much as our time.

This movie has novelty even if it tells a story which belongs to the old Turkey. Its novelty is in its language, music, acting and sincerity. One of the best movies alongside with Eskiya, Babam ve Oglum and Propaganda. It left my wife and me crying loudly for minutes after it ends. It surely is a must watch.
