After a long time, all you remember will be the great Istanbul scenes. Still, I tell my friends living abroad to see it. I was surprised to see the English name of the film mentioning about the magic carpet. Characters are OK.Cem Yilmaz adds too much to the film although he has a small part. I think Yilmaz Erdogan is better at writing than playing.But he could have found a better end for the film. I love Istanbul very much, so I loved the film.That was the advantage of this film maybe.Yilmaz Erdogan knows that too.The story would not attract people without all these flying camera (magic carpet) scenes.When you miss Istanbul too much, watch the film.You don't need to follow the dialogs closely.
