It was an incredible experience to watch Riot games evolve from a gaming company to an entertainment company over time. You see and appreciate how much effort is put into animations, music, art design, environment design and script in each frame of the series. This is a must-watch series for anyone who has played the game or not.

Biutiful
(2010)
The Ugly Beauty of Life
4 June 2021
Contrary to its name, it is so nice that nothing in the movie is "beautiful" and that everything done to ensure this is in place.
The biggest problem with this kind of movies is the problem of turning the story into a porn of misery, as in Capernaum. Inarritu does not make this mistake and manages to show everything as it is without playing on cheap emotions. We can understand that the suburbs of Barcelona are still like that today. Well-written characters, a satisfying visual narration, and fine-grained critique of the background make Biutiful a good movie, but it's not a masterpiece.

Fallen Angels
(1995)
A wong kar-wai classic

Cinema offers a magical experience that feeds on all the arts, as well as includes its own elements such as editing and cinematography. This experience, which is not valid for every film, is not something that can be learned later with theoretical knowledge or books.
This is what happens with directors like Wong kar-wai, Tarantino and even Ahmet Uluçay. The works they create exist to provide an experience. Maybe I will forget the story of Fallen Angels, but what it tells with cinematography, use of color, camera angles, editing; I will always remember feelings such as loneliness, love, helplessness, loss. A great film that shows why there should always be form and stylization in cinema.

Timeless and brilliant

Anders' story made me wonder if we're going to watch the "White man" problems again, but as the story progressed, it evolved into a timeless existence story that I loved most in Kieslowski. As everyone mentioned, Anders is quite familiar to us. It reminds us of ourselves. The helplessness of a man who has the talent but no will to make things right hurts us, too. Anders said, "I'm looking for love. I want someone to have pity on me." .What he's looking for is someone who truly loves him. The people around him seem to care about him, but he deeply knows that they do not care at all and that he will not be remembered when he leaves them. The only thing he wants is for Iselin, whom he loves, to talk to him once. It is commendable to witness the indifferent power of Love that binds people to life and to explain this in the language of cinema.

Winner of the prestigious Golden Bear at the 1964 Berlin International Film Festival, Metin Erksan's wallop of a melodrama follows the machinations of an independently selfish tobacco farmer who builds a dam to prevent water from flowing downhill to his neighbors' crops. Alongside this tale of soul-devouring competition is one of overheated desire, as a love triangle develops between the farmer, his more decent brother, and the beautiful villager the latter takes as his bride. A benchmark of Turkish cinema, this is a visceral, informatively shot and vibrantly acted depiction of the horrors of greed.
